Tucked behind a private garden gate, this charming hideaway blends old-world craftsmanship with fresh, coastal elegance. Whether you’re sipping morning coffee with hummingbirds or strolling to white-sand beaches and charming cafes, this is the kind of place where you arrive and instantly exhale. WHAT TRAVELERS LOVE ABOUT OUR COTTAGE Guests often tell us this cottage feels “like a dream you don’t want to wake from.” They rave about: • The Best Sleep of Their Lives: Luxurious bed, Belgian linen duvet, and the gentle hush of ocean air create pure serenity • Sunlit Mornings in the Garden: A peaceful retreat surrounded by whispering pines, trickling fountains, and the soft buzz of hummingbirds • Sanctuary Gardens: Wander through flower-lined paths, listen to the fountain, or meditate among the cypress trees • Unbeatable Location: Walk to everything — just a short stroll to downtown Carmel’s cafes, galleries, wine rooms, and boutique shops — and a short stroll down to the beach • A Magical Host: Travelers often mention our attention to detail and warm hospitality — “It’s like staying with a friend who’s thought of everything.” • Impeccable Cleanliness: Every corner gleams, maintained by one of the top-rated cleaning teams in Carmel. ALL THE DETAILS • Calm, Beautiful Interior Design - Step inside and feel an immediate sense of calm. The studio glows with natural light reflecting off whitewashed walls and original pine plank floors. Vintage wavy-glass windows and thumb latch hardware nod to the home’s 1920s heritage, while curated coastal décor and plush textures add an elevated, modern feel. Every space feels intentional, soothing, and quietly luxurious. • Enchanting Gardens & Outdoor Spaces - Your private gardens are alive with color, fragrance, and birdsong. Relax with morning tea, unwind by the fountain, or share wine beneath the twinkling night sky in the garden. Guests say it feels like “a secret garden tucked within Carmel itself.” • Fully Equipped Kitchen - The bright, well-stocked kitchen includes everything you need — from sharp knives and artisan tableware to high-end cookware and three kinds of coffee makers. Whether you’re preparing a cozy breakfast or an elegant dinner, it’s designed to make cooking a joy. • Sumptuous Bedding & Comforts - The sleeping area features a hotel-quality mattress, high-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets, and a Belgian linen duvet from Restoration Hardware. Fluffy down and hypoallergenic pillows ensure personalized comfort, so every night feels like a spa retreat. • Impeccable Cleanliness - Our professional cleaning team — among the best in Carmel — uses premium, eco-friendly products to ensure the cottage is spotless and fresh. From crisp linens to polished floors, we prepare the home to five-star standards for every guest. • Authenticity & History - Originally built in the 1920s, this is one of Carmel’s beloved storybook cottages — restored with respect for its history and comfort for today’s traveler. You’ll find original pine plank floors, wavy-pane windows, and charming thumb latch hardware paired with modern amenities including high-speed business class Wi-Fi, smart TV, streaming music, entertainment, and personal development programming. • Our Commitment to the Environment - We believe that caring for this magical place means caring for the planet. We use refillable bulk cleaning supplies, LED lighting, and smart thermostats to reduce waste and energy use. Our guests’ stays have helped plant over 1,000 trees worldwide, and we sponsor the replanting of native Monterey Cypress trees right here in Carmel. SOME FEEDBACK FROM PAST GUESTS \*\* About The Cottage \*\* “Fabulous! I have stayed in many different rental homes from Boston, Nashville, Hilton Head, Colorado, etc. This by far was the most perfect. The owner/host, Barry, goes beyond your wildest expectations. He must love what he does because everything is thought out on every detail. Don’t pass this place up. I can’t wait to return.” “A little slice of heaven. What a gem! Charming, beautifully decorated, every amenity you could ask for. We just loved it!” “This cottage is magical!!” “Don’t walk but run to book this! The bed was so comfortable. We absolutely loved this place and will be back again!” \*\* About The Host \*\* “Dearest Barry, thank you for touching our hearts and for sharing this magical place with us. Our hearts remain full from the love and grace of your beautiful soul touching ours.” "We have traveled quite extensively and I can say we have never received more gracious and thoughtful hospitality. Barry provides a 5 Star Concierge Level service equal to any luxury hotel or premium resort." “Our time in your cottage was so memorable. We will always relish our stay at your cottage as if something greater than all of us has suspended it in time. I can still ‘feel’ opening the gate and stepping down the stone entryway into nothing short of enchantment. I relive it often in grace and harmony remembering the creative journey you continuously and so beautifully have given to those of us who need a deep breath of peace.
