About this property

'Carmel Tranquility' 2 Beaches 6 and 9mins walk from a bright & airy beach home

Perfect peaceful family getaway or reunion location. Sit and enjoy the gardens while listening to the waves crash on nearby Carmel Beaches. You have a choice ... We are 6 mins walk from the main Carmel Beach and 9 mins from the Carmel River State Beach. Our home is a 1750 sqft 3bed / 2bath beach-home with high ceilings and wall to wall LIGHT! It's tastefully appointed to help you immerse yourself in a California beach experience.

There's lots of living, cooking and 'kids play' space inside and outside the home. There's comfortable dining and sitting space for 8 in the living room, the dining room and on the back patio. We have 4 flat screen TVs, with Netflix and Amazon Prime. There is a 3D TV with 9 viewing glasses, a 3D DVD player, video library and some 3D movies! Broadband Wifi reaches all areas of the house. There is a professional 6-speaker discrete in-ceiling system.

We have a small library and the gas fireplace is remote controlled. Relaxing after a long day is easy when every bed is a memory foam mattress. Waking up, enjoy the roses, citrus trees and succulent gardens with your coffee. In short, the typical Carmel paradise. Don't be surprised to be sharing it with hummingbirds, squirrels and blue jays. The young kids will love the double bunk bed room and a secret bonus room filled with goodies!

The Mission Ranch Hotel and Restaurant (owned by Clint Eastwood) is a fantastic restaurant to have 200 yards from the front door. It has a Piano Bar as well as outdoor seating to watch the sunsets and the sheep! The Sunday Brunch is highly recommended ! Less than a mile (0.9miles/20mins walk) away is the shopping and restaurants of 'Carmel by the Sea' on Ocean Avenue. For an extra 5 mins you can walk back via Scenic Drive overlooking the Carmel beach. Nearby is Point Lobos State Reserve. We recommend a 5min drive and park on the road by the entrance and then walk in. It's beaches are so beautiful several movie beach scenes have been filmed there. The famous Carmel Mission, and Mission Trail Park are also about half a mile walk. Beautiful beaches and coastal paths extend for 3 miles past Carmel River State Beach towards Point Lobos and are walkable from the house if the river does not cut through the beach

A simple place to stay for a trip. We were pleased with everything and did not find any problems I can think of. At the time of our stay Air conditioning was not needed as it was cool at night. We were pleased with all of the hummingbirds in the backyard due to the flowers as well.

We had a very nice stay. The house is comfortable with lots of room to spread out and the outdoors space is beautiful. The neighborhood is very quiet, just a short walk down nice streets to get to two different beaches.

Due to being busy with a daughter’s wedding at Carmel Mission and reception at Mission Ranch, didn’t get to spend time at the home other than sleeping. Definitely a home meant to enjoy and stay a while. Will definitely try to find a reason to visit again soon.

Cutest little house

Honestly it exceeded my expectations! So clean and bright. Felt like we had everything we needed. Convenient location. You can walk to Mission Ranch! The kids playroom was a bonus!! My kids loved it so much. Just a beautiful maintained property. I would come back here time and time again! Beach is close too and driving into town took 2-3 minutes!

Great Beach Home in Quiet Neighborhood

My family of four adults recently enjoyed a four-night stay at the Tranquility in Carmel. The house was just as represented. Plenty of room for us all to have our own space and great common areas and patio seating as well. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed. We loved the plants in the yard and short walks to the beach. June and Paul were super responsive and a pleasure to deal with. Check in/out was seamless. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Nice house, great location

This is a great home in a perfect location. Easy walk to Mission Ranch, downtown and the beaches. I would have given 5 stars except the owners had their landscapers at the house from 1:30-5:30pm using chainsaws etc. doing a once/year trimming of all the hedges etc. They did not let me know that this would be happening. It woke my baby up from her nap and we had to leave the house as it was so noisy. Their explanation was that "this is an every Tuesday thing".

It was a great stay. The check in was smooth, the house manager, Rick was very responsive. The house was well equipped and clean. The bonus room was a great surprised to kids. It's a five minutes walk to the beach and close enough to downtown where a 15 minute walk takes you to a nice coffee shop or restaurants.

My sister and I and her two kids (17 and 18 yo) had a nice time staying here in this lovely home for five nights. The place was clean and well stocked with the basic essentials. (One feedback is that when we first walked in the entire house smelled very strongly of cleaning chemicals and gave us a bit of a headache as it took awhile to get aired out - but otherwise all good.) Great location - we were only a short walk from two beaches going either direction and to the shops/restaurants. Also, the Mission Ranch restaurant was just down the street. Thank you June and Paul for sharing your lovely home with us.

Excellent location with a short walk to Carmel Beach. Check-in is easy with a pin-based door lock. Kitchen is fully stocked including a coffee maker and toaster in addition to typical appliances, but bring your own coffee/tea. The children's playroom was a welcome surprise and our baby was a fan. While the property is overall very clean, it did not seem like the floors were mopped (only vacuumed) as walking barefoot, your feet quickly got dirty. Also just an FYI as preferences vary, but the 2 King mattresses are the softest I have ever used and you fully sink into them; to us this was a major con but may be a pro for you.

Highly recommend: lovely, peaceful, comfortable, family-friendly home

This is a great home and location for families with younger kids. Our kids loved the setup with bunk beds and play room, and the guest and primary bedrooms worked perfectly for us and my spouse's parents with plenty of space and very comfortable beds.Highlights were numerous but to name a few: Kitchen was well-stocked, plenty of seating indoors and outdoors, regular, newer washer/dryer set, home well-stocked with amenities and toiletries, clean, located just a half block to a elementary school so close to playground, walkable to beaches, quiet neighborhood, and thoughtful touches from hosts like detergent for washer and plenty of towels.The only minor challenge was the wifi wasn't very strong so it was sometimes difficult when using phones/computers to connect to internet.Nonetheless, we highly recommend this property and were extremely pleased with our stay and the communication with the hosts and property manager. Would love to return in future years!

About the host

Host profile image
We live in the Bay Area and have fallen, completely and utterly in love with Carmel. We love to visit our home there as often as possible. Come and see why !!

Why they chose this property

In a word, location ! Our home is so close to the 2 beautiful carmel beaches. Imagine having to decide which one to walk to !!

For dinner the choice is even more difficult. A gentle 200 yards to the ex-mayor's Mission Ranch Hotel & Restaurant, or a short trip to Ocean Avenue for Carmel's very best restaurants. Our favorites there are Bicylette or Dametra, but Mission Ranch is so relaxing with its Piano Bar and there is freely available casual outside seating watching the sunset and the sheep !

What makes this property unique

Our home can sleep 8 comfortably. It's 1750 sq ft. You can make dining arrangements for 8 indoors or outdoors, in the back yard ! The living room also seats 8 for movie watching. All bedrooms have slumber-guarantee memory foam mattresses!

We have 4 flat screen TV's throughout the home with Netflix, Prime and 3D DVD movies.
