Beautiful 3 bdrm/2 bath home with beautiful garden that is only one block from the beach and the famous scenic road. Imagine starting your morning with breathtaking walks along the ocean.

There is parking in the driveway and next to the house.

I would be happy to give recommendations for restaurants, vineyards, walks/hikes, or golf courses.

Great stay!

The house was charming and perfectly located between Carmel Beach and Carmel River State Beach. There was some construction going on next door but it wasn’t invasive or an issue for us. We would stay here again easily.

A gem in Carmel-By-The-Sea

We loved this place the first time, so this is the second time we've stayed. It's called "My Mother's House", and that's exactly what it feels like - cozy, casual and comfortable. It's not fancy, but it feels like old CBTS back in the day when it was a bit less affluent. And it's in an amazing location just a block off Scenic Avenue and Carmel Beach. Sean is a great host. Hard to beat!

Beautiful Carmel Point Cottage

Beautiful original cottage in the exclusive Carmel Point neighborhood. Just blocks away from two beaches … one that overlooks Point Lobos State Natural Reserve, and the other that overlooks Pebble Beach Golf Course. And of course the town of Carmel By The Sea a stones throw away. My wife and I really enjoyed our stay and will most definitely return.

A Slice of Paradise

We cooked great meals together, walked the fabulous beach, hiked Lobos Point, shopped downtown, and attended Easter Services at the local monastery. We also played cards in the garden, lit the fireplace on cold nights, and watched old movies. The owner was responsive and available. This vacation was a 10.

A Welcoming, Cozy Home amid Lovely Carmel

My husband and I found this home relaxing, comfortable, and charming. The courtyard fountain and camellias by the front door are lovely, and the interior is full of comfortable furnishings. The house is carefully organised, well-stocked, and managed. The Monterey cypress, homes, and walking paths are beautiful. And the walk on Carmel Beach is gorgeous! Indeed, a slice of heaven! We are eager to return.

Awesome quaint cottage with everything you need and excellent recommendations of local things to do!

I would come here every year! Easy access to beach, nice walk to town. Embodies the feel of Carmel. We had a nice bottle of wine and snacks waiting that the family enjoyed and did many of the things on their recommended to do list including hiking at Point Lobos and eating at Mission Ranch Inn! Beds and bedding were super comfy! Living room fireplace easy to work and set the ambiance for the night after a long day outdoors.

The living room looks out onto a courtyard with a lovely fountain. We loved the location in a charming neighborhood. We took walks to the beach everyday.

Delightful time in Carmel

My family really enjoyed our stay at this property. It is described as "old Carmel" style, if I remember correctly, and that sums it up - a smallish simple house that is comfortable and livable in a lovely neighborhood. One of its charms is the multiple french doors opening out to the garden areas, and lots of windows for natural light. The kitchen is small but was adequate for simple meals. We enjoyed having access to towels, chairs and toys for beach play. The beach truly is a block away, although that beach is not recommended for swimming. There is however another swimming beach not far away (we walked there also). Early morning walks along the scenic drive were popular with many folks besides us, and it is a lovely neighborhood in which to walk and enjoy looking at the homes and the landscaping. Pebble Beach, Monterey and Point Lobos are all easy driving distances. There was somewhat of a mildewy smell in the back bedroom, but it was tolerable to me (and I am somewhat sensitive to mildew). Sean was helpful and responsive when we contacted him.
