If you want to be within walking distance to everything in Carmel by the Sea and stay at a VRBO that is fresh, bright, clean and very well stocked, look no further than Beauty & the Beach! Even though we only cooked in one night, we appreciated that the cottage came with all seasonings, oils, dishes, pots and pans one could ever need to create a nice meal. The beds and pillows were super comfy and we loved the added bonus of spa style robes and slippers! The sweet little gifts they had for us when were arrived were a nice touch and Mark & Krista were easily contacted when we had questions during our stay.
