A Perfect Stay in California

This was the perfect get away from a Mn arctic blast in January. Sarah was responsive and helpful with every question we had and Mark was gracious in orienting us to the property and cottage upon our arrival. The cottage was small, comfortable and cozy which was perfect for our needs and the view was beautiful. The location was nice with easy access to Point Lobos and other trails. We truly enjoyed our stay at this property and would love to visit again.

Gorgeous Quiet Beachfront Cottage Near all!

We were impressed with the coziness, relaxing atmosphere forever views of the ocean and Monastery Beach and all the amenities that you will need in a small place. Very comfortable, quiet and secure. Close to hiking trails, commercial malls like the Barnyard, gas stations and a short drive to Carmel Point, Scenic Drive, Carmel Beach and Ocean Ave shopping and fabulous restaurants. We will comeback, planning our next stay! Thank you for sharing your beautiful cottage!

Ocean front cozy paradise

We chose this property for its private location directly on the ocean. We wanted to drink our morning locally roasted coffee and our evening glass of local wine on our private oceanfront property! We wanted to watch the sunrise and sunset on the beach and walk out the back door to a spectacular almost private hiking trail along the coast! This was perfect! Cozy, quiet, clean. Relaxing and awe inspiring! 😍

Our family had such a wonderful time staying at the Abalone Cottage! The hosts were very communicative and the house was spotless upon arrival. We thoroughly enjoyed the walking trail nearby.

This enchanting seaside cottage is right out of a fairytale! Spectacular views of Pt Lobos and Monastery Beach mesmerize you as you sip your morning coffee or sunset wine. The cozy wood burning fireplace adds to the charming ambience. Stunning walk to Carmel River State Beach is a great way to start each day. The cottage was well equipped and clean. So happy the owners are willing to share this family retreat with us. Cannot wait to return!

Best Trip Ever!!

This is one of the best vacations I have ever had. The property is amazing. Perfect views of the sunset over the beach. It was relaxing to listen to the sound of the waves at night while falling asleep. The town of Carmel is so cute and quaint and the locals are so friendly. But truthfully if I never left the property in 5 days I would have been just as content. I hope to be back next year.

Cozy cottage

We had an amazing time during our stay at the Abalone cottage . The cottage was clean , quaint and cozy for the 2 of us. It has a Beautiful view of the ocean !!! Loved the Cozy fire place for the chilly nights . We enjoyed chilling out in the lawn chairs in the back yard listening to the waves, watching the coastal fog come and go, and walking down all the paths along the ocean. Kitchen was nicely equipped, and Checking in and out process easy peasy. With Carmel so very close, we had some lovely dinners out , and take out for the chill nights. Me and my husband loved our stay ! Hope to come back again soon. ♥️🦋🌺. T. Obrien

Perfect in so many ways

This little abode was a perfect homebase for our family of 4 with a 2 and a 3 yr old. The kitchen was very well equipped, there was laundry, easy parking, the space was cozy but enough space with the two bedrooms and two bathrooms to not feel too small. The backyard and grounds were magical; view was amazing; and the location was superb. We went down to Big Sur, over to Point Lobos, along the beach and water in both directions, and up to Monterey. Can’t rave about this place enough. It was the linchpin to our wonderful vacation. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
