About this property

Steps To Carmel Beach, in the golden rectangle. The perfect location!

Tucked away in a quiet/private neighborhood in the "Golden Rectangle" on Carmel Point, Just 800 ft to Carmel Beach is our Sea Cottage. A short walk to Carmel State Beach & wildlife reserve (1block+). A short walk to the East is the Mission Ranch, owned by former Mayor/Actor Clint Eastwood. See sheep in the meadow, lagoon or enjoy a fine meal at sunset. Point Lobos is an experience that shouldn't be missed!
The cottage is completely updated. Casual elegance unparalleled.

Lovely Carmel Christmas
My family and I had a wonderful Christmas in Carmel at this cozy and spacious home. The home had everything we needed, the kitchen was plush, and the indoor fireplace and outdoor firepit worked perfectly. And of course, the location, a short walk to the most beautiful beach on earth was the best part. I look forward to future stay at this great little place. Thank you!

A Carmel Delight
This is an amazing property just two short blocks from Carmel Point and the Carmel beaches. The outside is fairly unassuming from the street. The interior is just grand. Every room is delightful. It has its own interior courtyard.So comfortable and relaxing. A real find.

Charming cottage in great neighborhood
We had a wonderful stay. The cottage had everything we needed. We enjoyed making meals in the well equipped ktchen and hanging out by the fire in the patio area. We loved walking into town in the mornings to get coffee. My husband and brother took surf lessons during our stay. The meet up point was a few blocks away from the cottage. We would stay here again.

Fabulous Carmel cottage
We had an amazing 2 weeks stay at this beautiful cottage 2 blocks from Carmel Beach. Perfect location just blocks from downtown Carmel shopping and dining. Very quiet neighborhood, friendly neighbors and perfect weather especially for us coming from Arizona. If you plan a trip to the Monterey Peninsula you must stay at this cottage!!

About the host

Hosted by Karen M. Crossman

Host profile image
I grew up in Aspen Colorado on my Fathers cattle ranch which is now known as Snowmass at Aspen ski resort. I spent the school year in California and every summer in Colorado. Nursing was my passion and eventually led to my own successful business caring for the elderly in Carmel for over 20 years. I currently live in Pebble Beach.

Why they chose this property

I inherited this property in 2004 and lived in it for a time before updating and remodeling it. I'm so fortunate to own this little piece of paradise, it truly is an enchanting place. The quiet peaceful neighborhood, so close to the beaches, the village and Pebble Beach, yet so private. It's wonderful to be a part of this area, to experience all the wonders of our coastal life.

What makes this property unique

I fell in love with this Sea Cottage, it reminds me of the Sea cottages of old Europe. With their peaceful gardens, fences and close proximity to the sea. I know you will enjoy it too.
