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.

We had such a wonderful, relaxing stay in this beautiful cottage home that is in a cozy and quiet neighborhood with arts and crafts styled individual homes. The beautiful downtown Carmel area with delicious savory and sweet finds is walkable as well as the beach. This location is ideal to visit the ocean and small art community of Carmel as well as being a quick drive to Big Sur or Monterray Bay. The owner makes you feel welcome and at home providing favorite walks and sites to see in the area.

We kept thinking "Quintessential Carmel". Selfishly, we'd like to not gush about this home so that whenever we want a reservation, it's available. The truth is, we were so sad to leave because the owners have thought of everything for this beautiful home. Even when it rained, we weren't sad to remain indoors. However, on the sunny days, walks to the beach were refreshing as we ogled all the beautiful homes. The house was clean, well furnished with comfy beds. We can’t wait to return. Thank you Sandy and Alec!

The kitchen was well set up with everything that we needed, and all was labeled well. The home is beautiful and comfortable. The only thing we didn't like was skylights in the bedrooms, which made for too much light to sleep well.

A Sweet Cottage in an Ideal Location

This is a beautiful and well appointed home tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. Nearby beaches and neighborhoods full of quaint architecture are footsteps away.

Peaceful retreat

This home was absolutely perfect for our trip! The location couldn’t have been better. It was just a short walk to the beach and minutes from Carmel-by-the-Sea and Mission Ranch. The house was spotless and beautifully maintained, with a peaceful garden patio that we loved spending time in. The hosts were responsive, thoughtful, and made sure we had everything we needed. It was a truly magical stay, we’d come back in a heartbeat!

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.

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.
