Charming Cozy Cottage

We celebrated 30 years of Marriage by staying in this Charming Cozy Cottage for a week...we were steps from the beach in a very peaceful quaint neighborhood. We enjoyed the nights by the fire and hearing the soothing sounds of the surf.

Wonderful Property

Great house with beautiful view of Carmel River beach. Nice patio with fireplace that showcases the view. Well furnished and very comfortable for a long/short term stay. We stayed 3 weeks and look forward to another visit to the house in the future.

Carmel gem

The location is excellent- right by the ocean. House is a bit quirky- but in a good way. Can walk to downtown Carmel. A fun week in a fun house.

Where the river meets the sea...

Our stay at the beach cottage would have rated five stars if not for the daily construction at the house next door. Otherwise, the cottage is well appointed and very comfortable, felt like home. Would definitely stay again!

Spectacular Carmel Beach Home!

This home is absolutely beautiful with outstanding views of the Ocean! The Property Manager, Estramelda went out of her way on numerous occasions to ensure that we were happy and had everything we needed.. The Owner did so as well which we greatly appreciated.

Fourth great stay!

Best part of my year is enjoying morning coffee, afternoon wine and the gorgeous view from the front patio at Castillo Caracol. Manager Esmeralda was very helpful and sweet if we needed anything. It is perfect location to get into Carmel Valley or the Village. We also hopped to Highway 1 often to visit Pacific Grove when we wanted to get around more easily without the crowd (a CA native, I have been going to Monterey County since childhood and don’t consider myself a tourist😄)

Best R&R

Our family really enjoyed our stay at Castillo Caracol. The house was wonderfully maintained and was immaculate! I appreciated that the basic supplies (TP, paper towels, facial tissues, lotion, bath supplies, etc.) were provided so that we were able to restock at our leisure during our stay. The location and the view from the patio were amazing – we walked scenic drive everyday and enjoyed dining and shopping in downtown Carmel. It was a true R&R – no stress with all the conveniences of home! Esmerelda the house-manager even checked in with us to make sure all was going well – super friendly! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

Always a pleasure

This was my third stay at the house. Its location is perfect for enjoying the beach, walks on Scenic Drive, hikes at Point Lobos and enjoying the countless restaurants in Carmel, including my favorite, Mission Ranch Inn. The house feels bigger than its 1300 sf because of its large family/dining room and kitchen (which is well stocked if you like to cook) and the spectacular front patio, with the large windows looking out on it, feels like an extension of the family room. The owner and his property manager Esmeralda couldn’t be more responsive and considerate to guests. Already looking forward to my next visit!

Carmel by the Sea Bliss

Great location with epic view of River Beach! Being at Carmel Point area affords the best beach access and views without the crowds. The outdoor patio with fireplace was perfect to enjoy the view as night fell and have dinner and wine. The kitchen was fully stocked making home cooking easy. Short 20 minute walk to village center for magical shops and restaurants. We’ve been coming to Carmel for 35 years and it never disappoints! All instructions were clear and easy to do, and both the owner and other help were readily accessible and available if needed (not needed though, the unit had everything!). The icing was a Tesla charger on site. We’ll be back for sure!

Good not Great

We are adults renting the house for “car week”, not beach use. Steep drive and contractor parking could be challenging. Sliding door locks difficult to use. Owner gave wrong combination for key box at check in.

Sorry you were not completely happy! Wish I could control the home remodeling around Carmel, but it is a regular issue. Hope the car show went well.
