About the area
Carmel
Northwest Carmel, a neighbourhood in Carmel, is home to this apartment. Pebble Beach Golf Links and Fisherman's Wharf are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Carmel Beach and Monterey Bay. Check out an event or a game at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, and consider making time for Monterey Bay Aquarium, a top attraction not to be missed. Discover the area's water adventures with kayaking and snorkelling nearby, or enjoy the great outdoors with hiking/biking trails and horse riding.
The property was beautiful with all kinds of flowers & a nice patio. It was very clean, the bed was a king & comfortable. The skylight windows allowed lots of light, the host was easy to contact & very personable. The location was great! The only drawback was that there were so many knick knacks, etc, that it made the place feel crowded, eg, limited counter space in bathroom & kitchen.
Comfortable cottage in an excellent location for exploring the area! We enjoyed our walks to downtown Carmel, and Big Sur was stunning!! We will be back! Thank you!
Our stay could not have been any better. I’m so glad we chose to stay in Barb and Terry’s charming little house. It’s such a wonderful little retreat with everything needed to feel like home. Plus there aren’t any better hosts than this lovely couple. The bird and squirrel watching. The mattress and bedding. The convenient location and parking. The shower.
We enjoyed our 2-night stay at this quiet Carmel cottage. All the amenities of home were included-- a comfortable bed, fully-stocked kitchen and beautiful shady patio with a garden. Our hostess Barb was kind, and answered our questions promptly. We were in the area to enjoy the Monterey and Carmel beaches, and Laguna Seca.
Carmel is one of our favorite places on the planet, and Barb's backyard cottage is the perfect place to come home to after a day of exploring. Amazing snacks, the coziest bed ever, a cute little blue couch for relaxing, a great shower, and more! I am scent sensitive (due to migraines), and we made a personal request in advance this time about fabric softener, which Barb graciously handled without question. Excellent communication, a gorgeous location, and a memorable vacation. What more can you ask for?
Sweet cottage right near everything around Monterey. I rented for the Big Sur Marathon and it was the PERFECT location! The owners Barb and Terry are amazing people!
The cottage is large with a comfortable bed, nice bathroom, functional kitchen, sitting couch for tv plus an outside beautiful table next to a garden, very peaceful. Wonderful & nice owners who are very quick to help & friendly, but leave you alone unless needed for something. It is a very nice place to stay in Carmel by the Sea.
Great and comfortable cottage. Love the location. Easy walk to downtown if your a walker. Owner was always available if you had questions. Definitely coming back again. Highly recommend you stay here
The cottage had everything you needed, the hosts were friendly and a good source of info if needed. The space was well laid out and we would definitely stay again.
So very comfortable to have the Cottage each day as we traveled around the peninsula hiking around. Everything we needed was there for personal care and cooking. Quiet and secluded. A great place.
We loved Barb’s place so much. Very clean and cozy. Perfect for my husband and I to visit Carmel and surrounding areas. Comfy bed and nice amenities. All of Barb’s restaurant recommendations were spot on. Favorite being Dametra Cafe and least being Misson Ranch. Cooler weather than I expected in June, and always windy so needed jackets daily. Fog doesn’t burn off till noon sometimes so plan sight seeing accordingly. Gorgeous sunsets from beach. Love the charm and lovely feeling you get from Carmel and Barb’s place!
It is a lovely property with a beautiful yard and nicely appointed accomodations. The bed is extremely comfortable. The property owners are very sweet and welcoming. We will definitely be back.
The "Quiet Cottage in the Woods" is perfect for couples who want to stay a few minutes from Carmel's center and enjoy stillness within a local neigborhood. Our host has thought of every comfort to ensure her guests have the best experience possible - fluffy towels, the softest sheets, 3 kinds of coffee makers, decent toilet paper and some treats to welcome us. The patio is lush with well maintained trees, plants and even orchids. Barb is warm, caring and responsive. The cottage has been furnished in a non stuffy French Country style and books on the area are provided for guest use, The only issue we had was with our internet service. TMobile didnt cooperate with us in the cottage or even on the hill.Overall we would enthusiastically recommend this place to stay and Carmel in general!
We loved the place and the neighborhood. Only problem was the Wi-Fi was very poor. The place is very well stocked with all that you’d need, and Barb is a charming hostess.
