À propos de cet hébergement

À quelques pas de la ville et de la plage. Une retraite tranquille et privée. Emplacement idéal.

*** En raison de l'ordonnance de location de la ville de Carmel, nous ne pouvons accepter qu'une seule réservation dans un délai de 30 jours. Si vous avez les questions, me contactez-vous s'il vous plait. ***

LA DESCRIPTION
Situé au cœur de Carmel by the Sea, ce studio studio d'une seule pièce est à quelques pas de tout - restaurants, plages, boutiques - mais situé sur un terrain calme et double au milieu d'un bosquet de vieux chênes qui offre tranquillité et intimité. La maison a été largement mise à jour avec une nouvelle salle de bains, une cuisine, des planchers de bois franc, un lit king-size et de nouveaux meubles partout.

Ce chalet studio indépendant a été entièrement mis à jour avec des équipements modernes tout en conservant l'authenticité et le caractère de la maison d'origine, y compris les planchers en planches de pin, la quincaillerie pour loquet et les fenêtres en verre ondulées. La maison offre un luxueux lit king oriental avec des draps en coton égyptien de 1200 fils au pouce, une housse de couette en lin belge et des taies d'oreiller. Tout est haut de gamme.

Profitez du wifi gratuit (wifi haut débit en classe affaires), de la télévision Xfinity et des laissez-passer gratuits pour l'aquarium de Monterey Bay.

Il y a aussi une maison principale séparée de 2 BR / 2 BA sur ce terrain double qui peut accueillir 4 personnes avec sa propre cuisine et ses espaces de vie séparés, et il est disponible moyennant un supplément. Cette maison d'hôtes possède sa propre entrée privée et est séparée de la maison principale par une clôture, il n'y a donc pas de ligne de vue directe entre les deux. Vous êtes invités à louer ce chalet seul ou avec la maison principale. Les tarifs de cette annonce n'incluent pas la maison principale. Une liste séparée pour la maison principale peut être trouvée en utilisant l'ID VRBO # 890436.

We have traveled quite extensively and I can say we have never received more gracious and thoughtful hospitality. Barry provides a 5 Star Concierge Level service equal to any luxury hotel or premium resort. Location is great and everything one needs is provided. We throughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Our tenth Anniversary and Birthday will be one to remember.
Tranquil garden path to cottage.

Dear Ken, your review is so kind I can't thank you enough! But more importantly I'm happy that you enjoyed your time in Carmel and found the cottage memorable. For you to come and spend your anniversary at our place is such an honor - I feel that whenever a guest stays with us to celebrate a life milestone or moment of joy it actually builds a patina of love into this cottage's historic walls. So far that, I owe you my own thanks. Moreover, you left the cottage in such wonderful condition! You are welcome back anytime! Also, the note you and your beautiful bride left for me in the cottage was utterly wonderful it filled me with happiness for many days. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I wish both of you many years together filled with health, happiness, wonder, and joy! Please think of this as your home away from home in Carmel, and know that anytime you start to miss Carmel, you are welcome here <3 Barry

We are so glad that we rented this property. We could walk to all of the shops and restaurants, yet we were on a quiet residential street. The cottage itself is lovely, from the decor, original details, and the surrounding gardens. Barry was the perfect host who made us feel welcome and at home before, during, and after our stay.

Barry is one of the best hosts I’ve engaged with on VRBO. Clear and timely communication are just two of his hallmarks. His Carmel Cottage is pristine and so welcoming. It’s also perfectly situated in Carmel to be just off the beaten path yet walkable to everything. Additionally, there are several thoughtful approaches by Barry to make for an ideal stay. When I booked months ago, he reached out to learn more about the purpose of our trip, the types of restaurants we like and other seemingly small details that all manifest in ways large and small in welcoming us to the cottage. This is a host who genuinely strives to make your visit perfect. We can’t wait to plan our return visit to Carmel. We will absolutely look to stay at Barry’s property again!

Dear Rod, Thank you for taking the time to write such a generous and wonderful review! I do indeed put my heart into making every guests stay magical, but the true reward is hearing from guests that they enjoyed their time in Carmel. This is truly such a beautiful town, I’m so grateful I have a chance to share it with others so they can experience it for themselves. I hope you had a wonderful time at the aquarium and exploring the area, Big Sur, and Hearst Castle. I greatly appreciate you choosing to celebrate your special occasion at this cottage. I believe that every celebration at this home adds to its patina of love and nurture. Thank you also for taking such great care of the place. I hope you will think of this cottage as your home away from home in Carmel and feel free to reach out to me any time you miss Carmel and would like to return. I’d be happy to have you back anytime.

Barry is the finest host we have ever had at VRBO, or any other rental platform. He went above and beyond to make us feel welcome - wine & cheese board upon our arrival, homemade cookies with ice cream, and a couple of unobtrusive check ins during our stay to make sure everything was running smoothly.Barefoot Comfort is equally outstanding. It is impeccably designed and furnished, with top of the line linens, bath towels, and furnishings. On site laundry was a plus. The location is fabulous! We walked to dinner, the galleries and shopping.We are excited about our next stay.

We stayed 11 nights in this charming historic cottage at the end of a winding garden path. Walk to amazing restaurants, wine tastings, boutiques, historical venues, expansive gallery district, and Carmel Beach. Drive for a few minutes to reach Steinbeck's Cannery Row, inspiring hikes, dramatic coastline, Santa Lucia Highlands wineries, or a short distance more to Santa Cruz, Big Sur and Pinnacles National Park. This stay is a retreat in evey way, from its cottage chic ambience to the owner's personal touch as a host. Stamped post cards to be shared, a welcoming bottle of Monterey County wine, scattered hand-written notes to be discovered, and a wonderfully creative dessert are examples of how Barry made our stay unique among the many we have experienced. And then there's Carmel-by-the-Sea... we've visited on 25 or more occasions. From daytrips to a weekend to extended stays like this one, Carmel, Big Sur Coast and greater Monterey County offer as diverse a vacation experience as any geographical local in our country. When you've decided to make your visit to the Central California Coast, do consider Dream Cottage one or YOUR memories among many in this enchanting destination. We couldn't have been more pleased!

Dear Sarah and Josh, you are so very welcome! It was wonderful to meet you. I hope your outing to the Steinbeck museum was worthwhile. I've never been there myself, but I could imagine that other guests might find it interesting. I'd love to hear your thoughts. It was so nice of you to choose our cottage to celebrate Josh's birthday. I can't think of a more memorable - and romantic - locale. Please know that you're welcome back anytime, and you may think of our cozy cottage as your home away from home. All my best to you both!

Hi, I’m Barry — a lifelong lover of old homes and the quiet stories they carry. I’ve spent years restoring places with soul — homes built with care, meant to be lived in slowly. There’s something deeply fulfilling about uncovering a house’s hidden character, honoring its past, and giving it new purpose.

I grew up in Chicago, surrounded by timeless architecture and true craftsmanship. In my twenties, I wandered through North Africa, the Middle East, and Europe, falling in love with the art of hospitality — the shared table, the unspoken warmth of being welcomed as family. Those experiences taught me that real connection lives at the intersection of people, place, and space — a feeling I try to evoke in every home I create.

Hosting happened naturally. Friends began staying in my renovated cottages, and I realized how much joy came from crafting spaces where people instantly feel at ease — spaces that are simple, serene, and genuine.

For me, hosting isn’t business; it’s an extension of care. I want guests to rest well, breathe deeply, and leave a little lighter than when they arrived. I believe the smallest details — soft light, a quiet reading nook, the scent of ocean air through an open window — can shift how we feel.

When I’m not hosting, you’ll find me exploring the California coast, sketching ideas for another design project, or traveling to gather new inspiration. Wherever I go, I’m drawn to that same timeless grace — the kind of hospitality that makes you feel instantly at home.

The best part of all this is hearing from guests who say they found peace here, or that they didn’t want to leave. That’s when I know the spirit of the place has done its work.

Welcome to Carmel — I hope your time here feels as restorative as it was to create.

Voici pourquoi l’hôte a choisi cet hébergement

Carmel-by-the-Sea has always felt like a place apart — a small coastal village that moves at its own rhythm. I first came here for the beauty of the ocean and the trees, but I stayed for the feeling it gives me every time I return: a sense of calm, creativity, and belonging.

The air here carries the scent of salt, pine, and cypress. Mornings arrive with soft fog, and by afternoon, light filters through the branches, scattering across stone walls and garden paths. It’s beautiful without trying to be — quiet, natural, and timeless.

What I love about this neighborhood is its simplicity. There are no streetlights or sidewalks, just narrow lanes, ivy-covered fences, and homes that reflect the people who’ve cared for them. Each cottage feels individual, shaped by hand and history.

My home sits in a peaceful spot close to town and the beach. You can walk for coffee, stop at the bakery, browse a few galleries, and be back in time to hear the waves through the trees. The pace is unhurried, and that’s part of what makes it special.

The people here are another reason I love this place. Artists, travelers, and longtime locals all seem drawn by the same quiet spirit. It’s easy to start a friendly conversation on a morning walk or while tending a garden gate.

Even after years of living here, I still feel grateful each time I turn down the hill and see the ocean ahead. Carmel has a way of slowing you down and bringing you back to yourself.

That’s why I chose this neighborhood — for its natural beauty, its human scale, and the simple peace it offers. I hope you feel it too.


— Barry

Voici ce qui rend cet hébergement unique

What makes this cottage special isn’t any single feature — it’s the quiet harmony of light, space, and intention. From the moment you step through the garden gate, there’s an ease to it — a sense that everything belongs exactly where it is.

When I found the cottage, it was worn but full of promise. The bones were solid, the craftsmanship honest, the spirit intact. I restored it piece by piece, keeping what was real and true, and bringing in light, warmth, and calm. Every choice — from the hardware to the linens — was made with care, not to impress, but to feel right.

The cottage sits behind native gardens and old trees that filter the sun throughout the day. Inside, the design is simple and intuitive. Morning light pours through the windows; evenings settle into a quiet glow. The materials are natural — wood, stone, linen, glass — creating a timeless calm that reflects Carmel’s landscape.

What sets this place apart is its balance: old soul, modern comfort, and a genuine sense of ease. It’s a space meant for slowing down — to read, rest, or watch the light shift through the trees. Guests often say it feels larger than it is, not because of size, but because of how open and peaceful it feels.

The cottage is close to both town and the beach, yet tucked far enough back to feel secluded. You can walk for coffee, dinner, or a sunset stroll without ever starting your car. Mornings bring the scent of ocean mist; nights carry the hush of waves in the distance.

I didn’t restore this home as an investment, but as an act of care — to preserve a small piece of Carmel’s quiet spirit. Over the years, guests have told me the same thing: that the cottage helped them slow down, rest, and reconnect.

It’s not a showpiece. It’s a refuge — a simple, soulful home that holds space for you to feel at ease.
