Great stay in Carmel by the Sea!

This lovely home is quite comfortable and the kitchen is perfect for cooking meals together. We used the games table for puzzles the whole week. Sharon was very responsive to my allergies, and provided scent free products for us to us. Laundry was also done with scent free detergent. The perfect place as a jumping off spot to walk the beach, explore Point Lobos, and drive down the Big Sur Coast! This was out 3rd visit and we will be back!

Carmel Treasure

This was our second stay at this wonderful home. The owners are so thoughtful and have such a well stocked house from quality linens, dishes, glassware, cooking equipment, kitchen and beach supplies etc. We love being able to walk to dinner in town or either beach easily. The backyard is so peaceful as well. We love staying here and hope to return soon. Thank you for sharing your home with us once again.

Really Great home for a Carmel Beach Stay

This was just as advertised. The location was perfect for my wife and I. We were a 12 minute walk to Downtown and about the same the other direction to Carmel Mission Ranch and west to the beach. We walked every day either to get to one of the great restaurants or to power walk for exercise. The owner was very accommodating and responsive! Plenty of supplies, etc.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND

We loved our stay at this cottage and wished we hadn't been working so many hours a day so we could have had a chance to enjoy the outdoor area a little! The bedrooms were comfortable, having two full bathrooms was a must for us and both were well appointed. The kitchen had everything we needed and the living room was great for hanging out after a long day. The cottage is within walking distance of downtown Carmel and is a quick drive from Crossroads which has a ton of shops and restaurants

Charming Carmel Stay

We had a perfect stay in Carmel. The house was a short walk to town and extremely well stocked with all kinds of supplies. We loved the charm of of the home…classic Carmel at its finest. The large backyard was delightful for eating outside or just reading a book. Great linens and towels for everyone. We didn’t hang out on the beach since we were there for the US Women’s Open but there were all kinds of beach supplies in the garage. I even had time to read one of the many books on their shelves. We were pleasantly surprised with the thoughtful welcome gifts. The owners were wonderful to communicate with by email & text. We can’t wait to return. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home.

Great stay despite Weathet

This was our second month long stay. Once again the house was extremely well equipped and supplied which proved particularly useful when the power in Carmel went out for 80 hours. Despite that, the gas stove and a hot water system that performed well throughout and an ample supply of lanterns made this a very comfortable adventure. We will be back.

Carmel Wedding Trip

This cottage has everything you need for a week plus stay in Carmel. The cottage is perfect for a couple or 2 couples/singles traveling together. The owners have thought of many nice touches which make the home inviting. It is clean, well kept and the beds are comfortable. The location is close to town too.

Great Location - Great Comfort - Great Amenities

This cottage is roomy and comfortable. The two master bedrooms are well-separated for privacy, and each has a good bathroom. It is just a 15 minutes walk to town or to the beach. The cottage has generous amenities including a well-equipped kitchen, lots of chars and toys for the beach, and very comfortable beds. The hosts communicated directly and we found everything in well-maintained working order. We have already booked another visit.

We loved this house!

This house is described as a ‘cottage’ however had ample room for 4 adults and a great kitchen space. It was immaculately clean and the kitchen included everything that we needed, including glasses for all occasions! Location cannot be beat—easy walk to beach (if a gentle slope uphill on way back works for you) and to Ocean Ave. The home was a base for us to explore things close and a little further afield—point Lobos, Moss Landing, Big Sur and Pinnacles National Monument. Owners were very responsive to our communications and we were welcomed with very generous gifts that included local wine and chocolates. Would stay here again!

Charming for certain

This is a beautiful house, in an outstanding location, with wonderful hospitality. It was the perfect spot for my wife and her friend to spend a week relaxing and exploring the beautiful seascape of Monterey and vicinity. Carmel-by-the-sea was a lovely town. Much to do and see and wonderful dining. Dana and Sharon were very accommodating and the cottage was very comfortable and well equipped. Thank you so much !

Just like home

Everything you can think of is in the house and there is nothing the owners have not thought of. The house is immaculate and the furnishings are all very nice. The location is also nice as the walk to ocean Blvd, the main street in Carmel is an easy 7 block walk. The propane fire pit in the back yard is an added bonus. I highly recommend this property and owners. We have booked 9 VRBO houses around the world and This one was a great find and the best VRBO rental we have booked .

Nice home, in quiet, sun-drenched setting! The home was clean and comfortable and the spaces well thought-out.

Amazing cottage and even better location!

We had the best time spending the month of April at the house. We could not have been in a better location- just a couple blocks from both the ocean and town. The house was spacious and we enjoyed the fireplace, eating outdoors and grilling. Everything one could need was also available- beach towels, chairs, picnic basket etc. We really had the best time and can't wait to return!

Great place

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The home is clean and comfortable. Towels and linens were like new. Kitchen was well stocked with everything you would need to prepare a meal and serve it. The dining area is in a nook with windows all around that creates a sunny spot to enjoy morning coffee. The beds were super comfortable as was the living room furniture. You could not ask for a better location. 6 blocks to the city, 5 blocks to the beach and 5 blocks to the Mission. All in all a quiet location with great walking access. We would definitely stay again. Roland & Colette Chamberland

About the host

Hosted by Dana and Sharon Filippi

Host profile image
We are a family who has owned this cottage since the early 1960s. We love sharing this cozy comfortable small home in one of the most beautiful places in the world. It is a gift to us and we feel it is meant to be shared.
We live about 2.5 hours away and in between renters enjoy it ourselves with family and friends. When we rent, we like to guest people as if we know them, and you walk away wanting to come back!

Why they chose this property

We love that everything in Carmel is walkable from our cottage, yet just beyond the reach of the tourists who come to this iconic place. The trees, locals taking their daily walks, and all of our lovely neighbors surrounding our cottage make it feel like home to anyone.

What makes this property unique

We are close to town and to the beach, but it is also a lovely place to relax in both indoor and outdoor spaces. The large back yard is lovely to sit in and enjoy dinner, the outdoor fire pit, and nature, with plenty of trees, birds, and plants. We strive to make it all easy and comfortable for your enjoyment.
