Carmel Beach Lodge Resort is landscaped & maintained throughout, incl. "Boon's".
The clubhouse lounge is yet another place to meet and visit new friends. Enjoy!
This door (at top floor landing) leads to a cozy, private deck that faces south.
An aerial view, facing north. Notice the (truly) private upper south deck.
That's Copper Island in the background.

Cozy family friendly resort

Our family of 5 loved the space in the 3 story cabin. Very comfortable stay. Well stocked with “extras”. Appreciated having some condiments in the fridge and a kind welcome gift - who doesn’t love wine and chocolate!The resort had many amenities that we enjoyed - pool, hot tub, fireplace with roasting sticks. We will definitely considering staying again!
