About this property

Walk to 2 Beaches When You Stay at BeachWalk ...

Looking for an escape with access to gorgeous beaches and beautiful forests? Or, if you prefer, walking distance to a cute downtown with lots of shops and restaurants?

Beautiful 2 bedroom, 2 bath home located in a quiet neighborhood within 4-5 blocks of 2 beaches! Carmel River State Beach and Carmel City Beach.

The kitchen, living room and dining area are spacious and comfortable for small gatherings of family or friends.

Your home away from home, enjoy the outdoor patio, cook up dinner in the kitchen or on the BBQ, and dine outside by the gas heater. And as the evening cools, snuggle up with your favorite novel next to the indoor gas fireplace, or enjoy one of your favorite movies on the flat screen HD TV from our movie collection, or play one of your own on our Blueray DVD player. Comcast adds 140 channels and wifi is also provided.

If you want to get out ... dine at the famous former mayor's 'Mission Ranch' just 3 blocks away. Visit the galleries, shops and restaurants in 'Carmel By The Sea' - just under a mile and easily walkable through the beautiful unique Carmel neighborhoods. Visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium or golf at one of the 18 courses on the Monterey Peninsula.

If you'd rather enjoy nature ... drive through the Del Monte Forest or head south to Point Lobos State Park and Big Sur. So many places to hike and beaches to explore! Rent bikes (or e-bikes!) and cycle along the coast from Monterey, past Lover's Point, to Pebble Beach. Avid cyclers can also cycle north past numerous sand dunes on a coastal bike path. Paddle kayaks on the Monterey Bay, at Lover's Point, or up the coast at Moss Landing.

And at the end of the day, enjoy an outdoor happy hour at Folklore Winery up Carmel Valley Rd, enjoy 3-5:00 PM 'Grazings' at Mission Ranch, or take happy hour to the beach ... with chairs, your beverage of choice, and snacks to watch the sun set over the water.

Nestled in a quiet neighborhood, you will have complete quiet and privacy. (There is a guest unit behind the main house that we use. The units are completely separate and private.)

So close to the ocean, you can hear the surf at night!

Our family of 5 loved staying at BeachWalk. The home was well situated and easy to find. Despite the rainy weather we experienced, we were able to take lovely walks when the weather permitted. The host checked in with us shortly after our arrival, asking if everything was ok or if we needed anything.

We had such a wonderful, relaxing stay in this beautiful cottage home that is in a cozy and quiet neighborhood with arts and crafts styled individual homes. The beautiful downtown Carmel area with delicious savory and sweet finds is walkable as well as the beach. This location is ideal to visit the ocean and small art community of Carmel as well as being a quick drive to Big Sur or Monterray Bay. The owner makes you feel welcome and at home providing favorite walks and sites to see in the area.

The hosts were fantastic to work with. Great communication regarding the house. There was a massive power outage the day we were supposed to arrive. They let us know, kept us informed, and quickly.credited our account for missed day. The house was very clean, equiped with anything you would need, and conveniently located walking distance to two beaches, and about a mile from Ocean Ave. We would definitely stay there again.

This house is absolutely outstanding in every way. It is even better than the photos & we especially enjoyed the quiet location near the ocean, the comfortable amenities like the big gas fireplace, comfortable furniture, upscale kitchen appliances, great shower & the fact it is a one story home. Alec & Sandy are amazing hosts. When we lost power due to big rain/wind storm they were there to show us how to manage. Their gas fireplace kept us warm, lanterns gave us light, hot water in the master bathroom kept us clean & the stove top made tasty cups of cocoa & tea. We will definitely return!

About the host

Hosted by Alec and Sandy Hoag

Host profile image
Having just sent both kids off to college, we are happily continuing to work while traveling and getting to know each other again. :)

Why they chose this property

We gravitate to the ocean and beaches. Having made frequent trips to Monterey and Carmel over the years, we recently decided to move to the coast. Our dogs love walking on the two beautiful beaches! And within walking distance of downtown Carmel, the shops, the restaurants ....

What makes this property unique

Two rather different beaches to walk to: The long main, gently sloping Carmel city beach, and the changeable, more steep and wild Carmel River State beach with its inner quiet river front and meadow.

A 20 minute walk through forested neighborhoods to Ocean Avenue and favorite restaurants and shops.
