We recently returned from a wonderful month long stay at Marley Cottage in beautiful Carmel-By-The-Sea. The cottage, set right in downtown Carmel offered so many options for shopping, dining, gallery visits, walks to the beach and drives along the beautiful California coast. There are numerous restaurants, bakeries, coffee houses, wineries, delis, bars, galleries and shops just across the street. We really could not have chosen a better location during a month when the weather was absolutely superb. Sunsets and views were spectacular.
Now about the cottage. It's charming in the old Carmel style. The exterior is landscaped to perfection. Every Thursday the landscapers made their way onto the property to cut, trim and clean every inch of the gorgeous gardens. There's a great little patio with a fire pit, fountain, and a hot tub for those nights when relaxation is of utmost importance.
2 bedrooms and 2 baths offer plenty of room for 4 adults. The cottage is completely stocked with everything you need to feel completely at home. Nothing has been left out. There are plenty of pots, pans, utensils, blender, dishes, glasses in the kitchen to cook a gourmet meal. The dining area seats 4 comfortably. The living room has plenty of room for visitors and although we never needed to use it, a wonderful wood burning fireplace for those cool evenings.
The cottage offers wifi, a computer, printer, iron. . .there really is nothing left out.
The master bedroom is large, roomy and very comfortable. The master bathroom is a bit small but Sharon has mentioned a future remodel. We used the guest bathroom which is perfect. For additional guests, the guest bedroom is really charming.
We really miss waking up and taking our walks down to the beach and our favorite coffee house, Carmel Valley Roasting Company.
We plan on returning to this adorable cottage next year.
Thank you Sharon for providing this perfect little bit of heaven for us to enjoy!!!
