Beautiful Downtown Carmel”Marley Cottage” 2bd/2ba+Den+Hot Tub- Great Rate!

Marley Cottage is the quaint and charming, yet beautifully newly renovated cottage you've been looking for, perfectly located in the heart of downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea. The cottage just completed a full remodel and will welcome you with updates including new wood floors, lavish Carrara marble bathrooms, solid wood doors, stunning crystal light fixtures, 3 smart TVs, wireless charging stations, new gourmet kitchen, and more.

- When not eating out in one of the downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea’s 50+ renowned restaurants within walking distance, take advantage of the brand new kitchen. Fully outfitted with designer cabinets and countertops, high-end appliances, wine fridge, waffle maker, air fryer, coffee maker, new cookware, and other kitchen essentials to make you feel right at home. Take a seat at the table in the comfy chairs within the dining niche with a bay window looking out onto the front English garden with a fountain, old growth oak tree, and colorful flowers. A brand new Weber BBQ grill sits towards the front of the property, within easy access of the kitchen.
- The living room sits at the heart of Marley Cottage - wood beamed ceilings with sky lights, a wood-burning fireplace with firewood provided, new leather recliners and velvet couch, brand new 65” smart TV with cable, designer window coverings, and game table. The many windows allow for more than ample light to snuggle up with a blanket and your favorite book!
- Looking for a new spot to work from home? Marley Cottage has the perfect office/den for you! Outfitted with a solid wood standing desk, HD Camera, extra monitor (with HDMI cord), ultra-fast WiFi, brand new smart TV with cable, and couch (folds out to a bed!)
- Surrounded by flowers, trees, and a fountain, the secluded courtyard provides a respite from the world. The gas fire pit, new couch and chairs outside, and private hot tub allow you to enjoy the fresh Carmel-by-the-Sea air throughout the day and under the stars.
- The primary bedroom is made for cozy days in Carmel-by-the-Sea, featuring a luxurious ultra pillow-top Simmons Beautyrest California King bed, TV, warming gas fireplace, a gorgeous luxury spa en-suite bathroom with a freestanding soaking tub, spacious steam shower, and heated floors, spa shampoo/conditioner/soap/bubble bath amenities, and a private floral patio perfect for sipping your morning coffee (separate from main courtyard).

- A brand new and ultra quiet washer/dryer unit is tucked away in a hallway closet.
- Covered carport parking spot within the gated property.
- Private Hot Tub! Perfect for relaxing and looking up through the trees at the stars.

One of the best assets of this cottage is the perfect location - just steps away from (across the street from Carmel Plaza) shopping, dining in over 50 restaurants, wine tasting, art galleries, antique stores, the pristine Carmel-by-the-Sea beach (only 6 short blocks away), and local walking/hiking trails. You can also walk to the outdoor Forest Theater for a play or the nearby Sunset Center for a concert.

If you feel like going for a drive, the scenic 17-Mile Drive in Pebble Beach has an entrance less than a mile away from the cottage. The world famous Monterey Bay Aquarium and Cannery Row and Monterey Fisherman's Wharf are just 15 minutes north of Marley Cottage. Just south of downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea sits Point Lobos State Reserve. Known as the “crown jewel” of the State Parks, Point Lobos features dense groves of Cypress forest leading to hidden coves, beaches, overlooks, and perfect picnic spots. Keep driving down Highway 1 and make your way to Big Sur for even more scenery, ocean views, California wildflowers, and more.

This charming, yet updated cottage is sure to meet all your needs, enable you to relax and rejuvenate, and allow you to create many memories to cherish after leaving...these memories will beckon you to return to Carmel's “Marley Cottage.”

Additional Details/Disclosures:
**The City of Carmel by the Sea has enacted a short term rental ordinance, stating that VRBO rentals cannot be less than 30 days, so we would need to block a 30 day period, even if you only want to use the property for 1 or 30 days. You can stay as long as you desire within the 30 day period. Thus the 29 night rate....**
-The Marley Cottage vacation rental agreements are separate from VRBO.
- Holiday and Special Event Pricing and required timing may be excluded from the published rates & dates.
- Rates are subject to change until reservation is confirmed with owners.
- Rates and availability are subject to owner approval.

Carmel Stay
The Marley Cottage was a wonderful place in a wonderful location in Carmel-by-the-Sea. It is conveniently located, yet also quiet. The walkability is unparalleled yet it wasn't too busy for our toddler who just started walking. The updated cottage has everything you could possibly need for a longterm stay, in a true home away from home. The kitchen is wonderful with everything you need to cook from the nearby farmers market. Sharon and Richard the hosts were so kind and gracious and responsive to any needs. The home office with the desk that converts to standing made it a perfect place for our family with remote work needs and comforts. It truly has everything one could need in one of the most beautiful places! You will not regret staying here and probably will not want to leave.

Delightful Marley Cottage
Marley Cottage is located in a perfect spot in beautiful Carmel By The Sea. The location is lively, near restaurants and shopping and just a short stroll to the beach. Richard and Sharon have thought of everything in this beautifully appointed home. There is nothing in the Cottage wanting—they have equipped it with everything to make your visit feel cozy and welcoming. The house is exquisitely decorated and landscaped. We had a perfect visit and left feeling a little sad, wondering when we could plan another visit. Hans and Bernadette

Stay during Coronavirus
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Marley Cottage; however, we cut our visit to Carmel short because everything was shut down during the Coronavirus. Since the restaurants and golf courses were closed, we decided that we should get home while we could and shelter in place in our own home. The cottage was wonderful and we hope to return under better circumstances.

About the host

Hosted by Sharon

Host profile image
This darling cottage was purchased by Marvin & Shirley as a quiet respite where one can walk 'everywhere,' and has been maintained by their children since their passing. Sharon & Richard, owners, love the cottage, and have remodeled it, re-furnished it, and enhanced the gardens for your peaceful pleasure.

Why they chose this property

Marley Cottage is lovingly named after Marvin & Shirley, who loved Carmel and all it had to offer… peaceful walks, lovely trees, great restaurants, and the quaint downtown shops and galleries. It reminded them of Cambridge, England, and was always very special. We hope you find Carmel-by-the-Sea as unique and charming as we always do, and Marley Cottage a haven of peace and relaxation.

What makes this property unique

This convenient location is literally steps to Carmel Plaza and all that Carmel has to offer. Make sure to check out the Forest Theater, a truly unique experience for watching shows, just a few blocks away. It was built as part of the old WPA……Wonderful acting in the open of Carmel’s woods, fire pits, benches, lovely experience….bring a dinner picnic! The Sunset Center, a couple blocks away, hosts concerts and symphonies.
