Summary:
Whether you're seeking a romantic getaway, an artistic retreat, or simply a serene escape by the sea, Carmel-by-the-Sea promises an unforgettable experience that will leave you enchanted and rejuvenated.

The Space:
When you choose Carmel-by-the-Sea for your home away from home during your upcoming vacation, all this and more will be right at your fingertips! This quaint apartment's lush outdoor garden surrounds you in native flora, the perfect spot to sip your morning coffee as you breathe in the fresh seaside air. A short 10-minute walk will find you at the beach, soaking in the ample California sun and splashing in the surf. On your way, you’ll pass an impressive number of options for shopping and dining, giving you the delightful option to leave the car behind completely and explore everything this exciting area has to offer by foot.

For nature enthusiasts, Carmel offers an abundance of outdoor adventures. Take a leisurely stroll along the powdery sands of Carmel Beach, where the azure waters of the Pacific Ocean meet the rugged coastline. Or explore the scenic trails of nearby Point Lobos State Natural Reserve with its dramatic cliffs, hidden coves, and diverse wildlife. Indulge your palate with Carmel's culinary delights, from fresh seafood caught daily to farm-to-table cuisine showcasing the region's bountiful produce. Lastly, no visit to Carmel would be complete without a visit to the iconic Carmel Mission Basilica, a historic landmark dating back to the 18th century. Marvel at its exquisite architecture, explore the peaceful gardens, and learn about the rich history of this sacred site.

The home’s charming interior includes everything you need for the perfect couple's stay, a tranquil place to unwind at the end of long days out and about. Curl up on plush living room sofa seating while you stream that new series you’ve been saving on the smart TV. A gas fireplace will keep you warm and toasty during cooler nights, setting the scene for a romantic movie night. Steps away, the well-equipped kitchen will help you whip up culinary creations in the convenience of home, showcasing stainless steel appliances, glossy stone countertops, and sleek white cabinetry stocked with cookware and dining ware. The high-top dining table sets well for formal meals and spontaneous game nights alike.

This home comfortably sleeps 2 guests in a private bedroom with a luxurious queen size bed fitted with crisp linens and soft blankets for a great night’s sleep. The home’s full guest bathroom includes a single vanity and shower/tub combo.
