About this property

Relax by the river & sea! Remodeled Mid-Carmel Valley cottage retreat

Follow the path of overarching trees to this self-contained guest house steps from the Carmel River. It's undergone a loving makeover. The farm-style cottage has everything needed for a peaceful, tranquil retreat, yet is conveniently close to shopping as well as spa and dining, visits to the Refuge, Carmel Valley Ranch and Bernardus Lodge. With no traffic, it takes about 12 minutes to downtown Carmel-by-the Sea and 8 minutes to downtown Carmel Valley.

The thoughtfully designed kitchen features a full-size refrigerator, chef’s gas stove, microwave, dishwasher and built in reverse osmosis water system. Double pane windows brighten the dining area. The living room features a 65-inch TV, Wi-Fi and electric fireplace. Step into the bedroom (with 55-inch TV) and discover a California king-size bed enrobed in Egyptian cotton linens.

Everything has been thought of, from easy parking to blackout shades on the windows. And the cottage environment is hypoallergenic in almost every way. Situated just beyond the fogline, the cottage can serve as your base for experiencing the beautiful Monterey Peninsula.

*** Please excuse the unfinished but private front yard (not landscaped). The main house is rustic and waiting for a makeover. Please be aware of (possible) two dogs, greeting you on your arrival. Mizuno; yellow lab, 9 years. Wilson; white with black spots, 4 years. Owners live on site. You may or may not see them during your stay.

*****This home is a monthly rental and we request that all nights of your stay are within the same calendar month. Some exceptions may be possible, with the approval of the homeowner.

About the host

Hosted by Jung Crabbe

Host profile image
My husband and I both grew up on the beautiful Monterey Peninsula. We've been married 23 years. We are raising 3 strong, intelligent and beautiful daughters. Our oldest is a Sr at University of Hawaii, middle daughter is a Jr at USC and our youngest is a sophomore at Carmel High. We are an active family who enjoys hiking, playing beach volleyball and traveling. My husband has been a Realtor for over 20+ years and has his license with Sothebys. And I work for a local newspaper. We love living in mid-valley due to the warmer weather and we're not too far from Carmel Beach.

Why they chose this property

Recently re-modeled. Almost everything is new. Our property is on a dead-end street, so it's very private and quiet. And we're about 8 minutes to Carmel Valley Village. And only about 12/15 minutes to downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea.

What makes this property unique

Minutes away from luxury resorts such as Bernadus, CARMEL VALLEY Ranch Resort, and Quail Lodge... where fine dining is offered.
