Where the river meets the sea...

Our stay at the beach cottage would have rated five stars if not for the daily construction at the house next door. Otherwise, the cottage is well appointed and very comfortable, felt like home. Would definitely stay again!

Charming Cozy Cottage

We celebrated 30 years of Marriage by staying in this Charming Cozy Cottage for a week...we were steps from the beach in a very peaceful quaint neighborhood. We enjoyed the nights by the fire and hearing the soothing sounds of the surf.

Fourth great stay!

Best part of my year is enjoying morning coffee, afternoon wine and the gorgeous view from the front patio at Castillo Caracol. Manager Esmeralda was very helpful and sweet if we needed anything. It is perfect location to get into Carmel Valley or the Village. We also hopped to Highway 1 often to visit Pacific Grove when we wanted to get around more easily without the crowd (a CA native, I have been going to Monterey County since childhood and don’t consider myself a tourist😄)

Carmel gem

The location is excellent- right by the ocean. House is a bit quirky- but in a good way. Can walk to downtown Carmel. A fun week in a fun house.

Spectacular Carmel Beach Home!

This home is absolutely beautiful with outstanding views of the Ocean! The Property Manager, Estramelda went out of her way on numerous occasions to ensure that we were happy and had everything we needed.. The Owner did so as well which we greatly appreciated.

Good not Great

We are adults renting the house for “car week”, not beach use. Steep drive and contractor parking could be challenging. Sliding door locks difficult to use. Owner gave wrong combination for key box at check in.

Best R&R

Our family really enjoyed our stay at Castillo Caracol. The house was wonderfully maintained and was immaculate! I appreciated that the basic supplies (TP, paper towels, facial tissues, lotion, bath supplies, etc.) were provided so that we were able to restock at our leisure during our stay. The location and the view from the patio were amazing – we walked scenic drive everyday and enjoyed dining and shopping in downtown Carmel. It was a true R&R – no stress with all the conveniences of home! Esmerelda the house-manager even checked in with us to make sure all was going well – super friendly! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

Always a pleasure

This was my third stay at the house. Its location is perfect for enjoying the beach, walks on Scenic Drive, hikes at Point Lobos and enjoying the countless restaurants in Carmel, including my favorite, Mission Ranch Inn. The house feels bigger than its 1300 sf because of its large family/dining room and kitchen (which is well stocked if you like to cook) and the spectacular front patio, with the large windows looking out on it, feels like an extension of the family room. The owner and his property manager Esmeralda couldn’t be more responsive and considerate to guests. Already looking forward to my next visit!

Fantastic location with beach view from front patio!

Our family loved this great house in prime location with incredible view of Carmel River Beach and just steps away from Scenic Drive and Carmel Point. Reasonable walk or short drive to Ocean Ave. for shopping and dining. House is well laid out, well stocked and very comfortable for a small family or 4 adults. Definitely will go back!

We had the best time at Snail Castle! The location and views were mind blowing and the house was just as described. We went for walks every morning and each way was more beautiful than the next and spent every evening outside listening to the ocean. We will be back!

Absolutely Wonderful

My family and I stayed at this lovely property this past August, 2022. The home is steps away from the beach. I loved listening to the surf from the outdoor space every evening while sitting by the fire. Inside the home was great as well. The kitchen came with a everything a cook could want. It was a pleasure to make meals there. And only blocks from downtown for meals and shopping. Don’t hesitate to stay. This home is a perfect location for enjoying Carmel-by-the-Sea.

Lovely!

Just returned from my 2nd stay at the cottage. Even cuter than last year. Owner had made a few changes that made the cottage even more comfortable. Neighborhood is still largely unchanged. Still one of the most beautiful corners of the country. Home was spotless when I checked in and the house manager was super helpful.

Home away from home

This stay at the Villa was our fourth I believe. We love Carmel and staying here at the beautiful Villa, close to the Beach, is simply the best. This time we had both our adult daughters stay also, they fell in love with this beautiful home and the location also. We have been lucky to still be enjoying our stay in Carmel, even through these trying Covid times we felt safe.

My wife and I are from Minnesota, but now are Carmel residents. We live here October-May, and want others to enjoy this beautiful place when we aren't here.

Why they chose this property

The Carmel Point neighborhood is the best in Carmel! It's walking distance to downtown but there is little traffic. Just a half block to the beach! Point Lobos and the Carmel River Beach fill the view from the front patio.

What makes this property unique

Since we live here, the house has the amenities we like, and is maintained and updated regularly.
