Relaxed Coastal Living Just Blocks from Carmel State Beach

Just two blocks from the sand and scenic trails, this beautiful home offers the best of both worlds: peaceful, private living in a quiet neighborhood, with all the charm and energy of downtown Carmel just minutes away. It’s located in one of the most sought-after areas on the Peninsula, where you can enjoy more space, a relaxed pace, and the rare bonus of easy parking—while still being only a 5-minute drive from world-class restaurants, boutique shopping, galleries, and wine tasting rooms.

Step inside the gated courtyard and you’ll find a sun-filled outdoor space designed for both fun and relaxation. Fire pits, a wood-fired pizza oven, Big Green Egg smoker, backlit wall fountain, and an outdoor dining area all come together to create the perfect setting for gatherings or quiet evenings under the stars. The seamless indoor-outdoor layout makes the most of Carmel’s mild coastal weather.

The heart of the home is the spacious chef’s kitchen, featuring a 10-foot Quartz island, 48" Wolf range, Sub-Zero fridge, 86-bottle wine fridge with dual beverage drawers, and a Wolf steam oven—perfect for cooking and entertaining with ease.

Just off the primary suite, unwind in your own private 6-person barrel sauna after a day of exploring the beach or nearby hiking trails.

With a fresh, modern coastal feel and thoughtful updates throughout, this home makes it easy to settle into the Carmel lifestyle. Whether you're strolling the beach at sunset, spending the afternoon hiking in nearby preserves, or enjoying a night out in downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea, this is a perfect home base to experience it all—peacefully and comfortably.

This is a beautiful and well appointed home in a lovely neighborhood with ocean views and within walking distance of a great beach path. A short drive into Carmel by the Sea and even shorter drive to Point Lobos State Reserve. The owner was very responsive to our every need and we would stay here again.

Excellent, spectacular home and absolutely loved staying here!!! The location is great with only a 10 minute walk to the beach and trails along the beach with stunning ocean views. Driving into Carmel was a quick drive plus there are two other shopping centers nearby that had cute restaurants and shops. The house is beautifully decorated, all the listed amenities are impressive and everything far exceeded our expectations! Very thoughtful welcoming “touches”. Chris is a great communicator! Overall it was fantastic and definitely will be back!!

Awesome property! Well enough space for 4 adults and 2 kids. Great courtyard to hang out in. It’s the perfect location - close to the coast but also close to downtown. It’s walking distance to the coast and trails (approx 10 min walk through the neighborhood). It’s also a short drive (less than 5 min) to a shopping center with Safeway, Starbucks, and more. About a 15/20 min drive to downtown Carmel and Monterey. Chris was a great host! He was readily available for questions or concerns (which there were none). He had suggestions on restaurants, etc. He also set up a crib and set out some toys once he found out we would have a baby with us, which was a very nice touch. 10/10 would stay again!

This was an ideal location with access to amazing trails along the ocean and an interesting beach full of wildlife. It was just a few minutes drive to downtown Carmel and Carmel beach. It was nice to be return to this quiet neighborhood after some time in town. The home was very beautiful and the hosts were easy to communicate with and quick to resolve any issues.

Great vacation

Gorgeous house with great amenities. Our party comprised of three adults, a teen and an 11-year-old. Only 10 minutes on trails leading to two spectacular beaches. We loved the outside courtyard, which had a barbecue, pizza oven, fire pit, and lots of comfy sofas. Safeway is only five minutes away, so no need to stock up before you arrive.We will definitely stay here again.

Beyond expectations

Had not been to the area before and researched extensively. A touch south of Carmel proper, but after doing it, I wouldn’t do it any other way. We were 4-6 minutes from all the retail and restaurant fun in town but maybe 400 yds from alll the coastal glory that this part of the world can provide. Otters, seals an the awesome power of the pacific as I’ve never experienced. Great neighborhood and the house is special, fully stocked and owner communication and assistance exceptional. Price compared to other options seemed perfect for us. Do not hesitate.

Beautiful home in a great location

This home was exactly as advertised. It was 5-star all the way. Clean, comfortable, open floor plan with great outdoor amenities. The host was readily available to handle all our questions. Unfortunately, due to severe storms in California, several days were wet and cold. Worst of all, we were without power for almost half of our 6-day visit. This meant we were without lights, heat, refrigeration, tv’s, phone chargers, etc. Some of Carmel’s restaurants, shopping, and fitness centers were closed due to the power outages. Certainly put a damper on the family vacation, but we realize that this was out of anyone’s hands. We made the best of the situation and had an overall great time visiting this beautiful part of the country.

One of a kind spot

We were traveling with our 10 month old son, 3.5 year old daughter and two elderly parents The host had everything we need to immediately be at home without having to bring along significant gear for the kids. The spot was in the perfect location for driving into Big Sur and also had direct access to a great beach. We especially enjoyed being able to cook at home in the expansive kitchen and even got a chance to utilize the wood fire pizza oven. We will be back for sure in years to come.

A dream trip 8 months in the waiting!

My husband and I and my two adult children just returned from a week's stay at this incredible Carmel home. We planned this trip 8 months in advance as a birthday celebration (a BIG one for me!) which also included a 3-day pass to the Monterey Jazz Festival. The trip was everything we had hoped for, and the house was a huge reason for that. It was important for us to all be together in our accommodation but still have the privacy of 3 bedrooms. The kitchen is amazing as is the outdoor space. It took only 5 minutes to walk to the coastline path to stroll or watch the sunset. It was about a 5- minute drive to the grocery and 15 minutes to Monterey. I'm so glad we stayed in this beautiful house instead of somewhere in Monterey because it was quiet and low-key. We had zero trouble checking in and found everything in working order. Chris responded quickly to text messages from us, but we didn't need to ask for much! He also recommended a wonderful restaurant for our birthday celebration, and we were not disappointed. Usually when you anticipate a trip this "big" for this long, you end up being somewhat disappointed, but this didn't happen! Instead, by mid-week, I began to awaken each morning with that dread when you realize something has to come to an end. We've been home 4 days now and I still find my mind drifting to the memory of this place. Finally, I want to say that an important factor in our choosing to make this reservation was the ability, if needed, to receive a 100% refund within just a few weeks of our planned arrival. We have been caring for my husband's elderly parents which has involved various health crises over the past year. It was critical for us to lock-in a reservation but also have the flexibility that this reservation afforded us. I'm so glad that we didn't have to cancel! These memories will last a lifetime. THANK YOU!!!

The Perfect Modern Find!

What can I say? I’m a word WONDERFUL. When you are spending good money for a Summer extended vacation home you want the best. This property was the best. Everything is updated. Outdoor patio space was highly utitlized for cooking, dining, and just enjoying the cool Carmel days and evenings. The house is in a quaint neighbor with friendly neighbors. We walked daily to the trail 2 blocks down that lead to the ocean and hiking trails that stretches from Monestary Beach to Carmel River Beach. We’ve been going to Carmel for over 20 years and have found mostly average homes, with home owners typically not having any updates whatsoever. Beds are full size in 2 bedrooms but that didn’t seem to bother our guests, just noted. This home was far above average for the area and has the updates, which was not expected but so welcome! Great living room TV with surround sound, updated appliances, even the coffee machine rivals Starbucks! Chris was extremely responsive on anything we needed. Can’t stress enough that the homeowner is far and beyond better than Ny of the others before. My mom is slowing down quite a bit but with no stairs and all the amenities, along with being 5 minute drive to the Crossroads Shopping Center, she was quite comfortable for her extended stay. Excellent, excellent, excellent!

An Oasis

Our family gathered for a wedding in Big Sur and this was the perfect location between SFO and the wedding venues. This house is amazing! Just a few steps away from several hiking trails along the beach, a five-minute drive to pick up groceries (which you will want access to so you can use the gas grill, charcoal grill, rotisserie, pizza oven and the most fabulous kitchen). Deciding between cooking at the house vs. eating out at the many amazing close-by restaurants was a struggle. It was the perfect oasis to unwind after a day of festivities with the family. Minor issues were immediately addressed. Every amenity you can think of was available in the house. We are an east coast family but would immediately return to this property if given the chance.

My 3 sisters and I stayed here for a week to celebrate an 80th birthday. The house was clean, spacious, had top of the line appliances and very comfortable beds. We enjoyed the courtyard fire pit and fountain. It was a short walk to a beautiful beach with lots of walking trails. The location is close to a shopping center for groceries, etc. Chris was very helpful and answered all my questions quickly.

The Perfect House in Carmel

This was our first ever booking through Vrbo and Chris, the property owner, made it super smooth and easy. His communication was quick and very helpful. This house was beyond what we could’ve imagined and more. The space was perfect and the kitchen was a dream. Fully equipped with all the kitchen supplies you will need. We barely left the house. But when we did, it was a quick 4 minute drive to the grocery store and a 10 minute to the main town. The house is a short 10 minute walk to the beach, which was nice to do a late afternoon walk in time to catch the sunset. Can’t wait to be back here again.
