Welcome to Beach Blanket Bungalow — A Chic Coastal Escape in Carmel-by-the-Sea.

As you arrive via the elegant stone paver driveway and pass through a gated arbor draped in blooming Sally Holmes roses, you’re welcomed into a spacious flagstone courtyard. Here, a commercial-grade fire pit and cozy seating offer the perfect setting for unwinding with a glass of wine or a favorite book. French doors open directly from this patio into a private family room or office—ideal for work or quiet relaxation.

Just two gentle steps lead to the covered front porch and Dutch door entry, opening to a luxurious, single-level home designed with comfort and style in mind. The living room features vaulted ceilings, a 65” Samsung Frame TV, and a large picture window overlooking the peaceful courtyard.

The heart of the home is a custom-designed chef’s kitchen, centered around an imported Le Cornu range from France and equipped with a Thermador refrigerator, wine fridge, microwave drawer, drip coffee maker, and expansive Imperial Danby marble counters. A mahogany farm table anchors the built-in banquette dining area, comfortably seating 8–10 with plush cushions and accent pillows. A nearby Dutch door opens to the side yard, where you’ll find a standing gas BBQ for al fresco cooking.

The thoughtfully designed layout includes:
• A front queen en suite bedroom with a private half bath
• A second queen bedroom adjacent to a full hall bath and Bosch washer/dryer
• A serene primary king suite featuring double sinks with Waterworks fixtures, French doors opening to a deck and fenced garden patio, and a 55” Samsung wall-mounted TV

Beach Blanket Bungalow is perfectly situated on the east side of Carmel-by-the-Sea, just off Ocean Avenue on Guadalupe Street between 2nd and 3rd Avenues (two houses from 3rd, on the northeast side). Please note that the VRBO location map can be imprecise—consult a Carmel map for accuracy.

This prime spot offers easy access to all that Carmel has to offer: only four blocks to the heart of downtown’s world-renowned shops and restaurants, and a ten-block stroll through charming streets to the beach. Just four blocks away, Forest Hill Park features a playground, basketball half-court, and public tennis courts.
