A-MAZ-ING!

Our hosts, Krista and Mark, have created a two-bedroom gem in Carmel. The house was spotless with beautiful decor, great light, comfortable beds and linens and all sorts of unexpected amenities. The backyard patio is an artfully designed space with beautiful flowers, plants and a table with a built in fire source. The house also has a small office, which was perfect for remote work. WiFi is excellent. Location is 2-3 blocks to shops and restaurants, and a 10 minute walk to Carmel beach. Even better than the pictures!

wonderful, again

This was our second year staying at this house. Once again we had a wonderful time. The house is perfectly located, warm, comfortable, immaculately clean and well equipped. Krista couldn't have been any more accommodating. She was very attentive to our needs and provided us with a delightful welcome basket. We will return again!

About the host

Hosted by Mark and Krista

We have been coming as a family to Carmel-By-The-Sea for years and finally decided to purchase a place in our dream area. Our children love walking to the beach, going to the Sweet shop cottage to get a special treat and exploring all the great parks and hiking areas, beaches and restaurants in the region. We have spent countless tireless hours to bring this original beach cottage back to its original glory. We sincerely hope you and your family enjoy our home and make many wonderful memories here in Carmel-By-The-Sea.

Why they chose this property

Location, Location, Location. This Cottage is ideally located for your enjoyment. This cottage is located in town!!! There is also a short 12 minute stroll down to the beach. Everything the town offers is within close walking distance.

We value our renters and have poured our heart into this beautiful little cottage. We want our clients to experience a piece of Carmel history while enjoying some modern conveniences. We have tried to think of every little detail to make your stay as comfortable and memorable as possible.

What makes this property unique

This cottage has a great blend of indoor and outdoor space to enjoy and make great memories with your family. A large 6 seat designer farm house dining table to enjoy a nice meal inside along with a large back patio surrounded by old growth coastal live oaks and one of the biggest oldest coastal pine trees in town. There is a wood burning fire place in the living room for a cozy night in as well as a gas fire table in the back to enjoy a glass of wine while looking up at the stars. We've also stocked our backyard storage shed with beach gear (sand castle kits, chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, for your use and enjoyment). This beach cottage has it all!
