About this property

Walk to 2 Beaches When You Stay at BeachWalk ...

Looking for an escape with access to gorgeous beaches and beautiful forests? Or, if you prefer, walking distance to a cute downtown with lots of shops and restaurants?

Beautiful 2 bedroom, 2 bath home located in a quiet neighborhood within 4-5 blocks of 2 beaches! Carmel River State Beach and Carmel City Beach.

The kitchen, living room and dining area are spacious and comfortable for small gatherings of family or friends.

Your home away from home, enjoy the outdoor patio, cook up dinner in the kitchen or on the BBQ, and dine outside by the gas heater. And as the evening cools, snuggle up with your favorite novel as you light up the gas fire pit, or enjoy one of your favorite movies on the flat screen HD TV from our movie collection, or play one of your own on our Blueray DVD player. Comcast adds 140 channels and wifi is also provided.

If you want to get out ... dine at the famous former mayor's 'Mission Ranch' just 3 blocks away. Visit the galleries, shops and restaurants in 'Carmel By The Sea' - just under a mile and easily walkable through the beautiful unique Carmel neighborhoods. Visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium or golf at one of the 18 courses on the Monterey Peninsula.

If you'd rather enjoy nature ... drive through the Del Monte Forest or head south to Point Lobos State Park and Big Sur. So many places to hike and beaches to explore! Rent bikes (or e-bikes!) and cycle along the coast from Monterey, past Lover's Point, to Pebble Beach. Avid cyclers can also cycle north past numerous sand dunes on a coastal bike path. Paddle kayaks on the Monterey Bay, at Lover's Point, or up the coast at Moss Landing.

And at the end of the day, enjoy an outdoor happy hour at Folklore Winery up Carmel Valley Rd, enjoy 3-5:00 PM 'Grazings' at Mission Ranch, or take happy hour to the beach ... with chairs, your beverage of choice, and snacks to watch the sun set over the water.

Nestled in a quiet neighborhood, you will have complete quiet and privacy. (There is a guest unit behind the main house that we use. The units are completely separate and private.)

So close to the ocean, you can hear the surf at night!

Covid-19 Note: We are offering 100% cancellation refunds up to one week ahead of arrival dates if Covid somehow interrupts your travel plans. These are rapidly changing times and we feel we could all use a bit of flexibility and a lot less worry. We use professional cleaners to clean and sanitize our home. No guarantees of course, but we're doing our best.

The perfect get away.

I've stayed in many vacation rentals, but this, by far was the absolute BEST. It is beautifully furnished with everything you could ever imagine you might need. The owners were very accommodating and friendly. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a wonderful home base while exploring the area.

Absolutely clean everywhere. Very comfortable to relax indoors and outside on the patio with all the varied plants and occasionally hearing the sound of the ocean. Short walk to beach.

Lovely neighborhood

The location was in a quiet neighborhood but there was repairs being done to the street and there was a noisy dog next door. The master bedroom was nice but the second bedroom was so so. The main bathroom was functional but had poor lighting and an awkward door handle. The wi-fi continuously dropped its signal which made using it a pain. Aside from that the accommodation was lovely.

Spontaneous Get Away

Beautiful, well appointed, excellent location, great vibe. We couldn't have been happier. We even met our hosts, and they were lovely people. They also made great suggestions and recommendations for food and activities. We would highly recommend and hope to return ourselves!My only 4 ranking was price. It was reasonable, and affordable. My only tiny complaint is the VRBO site said all fees were included, and gave us a price. When we got to check out the price was different.....maybe by 40 or so. Perhaps it was my error, or tax? But when the site says all included, and a figure, I don't go looking for holes in that description as to me, that only means one thing.

Wonderful Property and Stay

We just spent over a week at this wonderful property and absolutely loved it. It was a great location, and nice house with all the amenities. Very clean and did not reek of plug in air fresheners. The owners thought of everything-games,puzzles,books, beach towels/chairs,etc. we will definitely be back soon!

About the host

Hosted by Alec and Sandy Hoag

Host profile image
Having just sent both kids off to college, we are happily continuing to work while traveling and getting to know each other again. :)

Why they chose this property

We gravitate to the ocean and beaches. Having made frequent trips to Monterey and Carmel over the years, we recently decided to move to the coast. Our dogs love walking on the two beautiful beaches! And within walking distance of downtown Carmel, the shops, the restaurants ....

What makes this property unique

Two rather different beaches to walk to: The long main, gently sloping Carmel city beach, and the changeable, more steep and wild Carmel River State beach with its inner quiet river front and meadow.

A 20 minute walk through forested neighborhoods to Ocean Avenue and favorite restaurants and shops.
