Super cute cottage located within an easy walk to Ocean Avenue, the heart of Carmel, where you can enjoy all the little town has to offer. Comfortable beds with crisp, high end linens, All Clad kitchen cookware and awesome water pressure for a marvelous shower were notable amenities. Both bedrooms in the main house are upstairs and have King beds. There is a shared, three quarter, hall bath with one sink for the two bedrooms and a main floor powder room with the added bonus of a soaking tub. The house was absolutely immaculate in terms of cleanliness. Excellent, off street parking and lovely garden areas surround the cottage. Our only wish would be for a mini-split air conditioner upstairs for the warmer days, which actually do happen in Carmel (we had an 81 degree, February day!). There is a one bedroom guest house available on property that we did not see personally, but would be great for a larger group or family staying. Overall, we loved our stay and the host Barry is fantastic.

Dear Robert, Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful and generous review! I’m so glad you enjoyed the cottage, the gardens, and the easy walk to Ocean Avenue. It means a lot to hear that the comfort of the beds, the kitchen, and the little touches throughout the home helped make your stay special. I’m especially glad you enjoyed all that Carmel and the surrounding area have to offer. Carmel does occasionally surprise us with a warm day even in winter, and the cottage has a cooling vent system upstairs that helps keep the bedrooms comfortable when those days arrive. Thank you also for taking such wonderful care of the cottage during your stay. You are welcome back anytime! It was a pleasure hosting you, and I hope you will always think of the cottage as your home away from home in Carmel. All my best,
Barry

Manuel, it was wonderful to have you and your lovely family to our cottage. Thank for this review and especially for the more expansive review you left in our guest book! It was very kind and generous. Most importantly, I'm glad that you were able to spend quality time with your family and that you, as you say, were able to escape the Texas heat. We get a lot guests from Texas, and the cool Carmel ocean air has a way of resetting our internal thermostats. The days have been pleasantly mild recently and the evenings cool - great for sleeping. Thank you also for taking such great care of the place. You are welcome back anytime you need a break from the heat in the future. My best to you and your family! Barry

Dear Laura and Michael, your review is so kind and generous! And your words "a little corner of paradise" are truly making my head swell a bit right now :) But, to be honest, I think of Carmel and these cottages the same way. This whole area truly is a little slice of heaven. Your video of the hummingbird sipping nectar from the bougainvillea on the back deck and taking drinks from the fountain was truly magical. I've seen many hummingbird visitors over the years, but have never been fast enough to capture a video in time. And thank you for your kind notes and messages. I'm so glad you enjoyed the ice cream and special touches. Please think of this cottage as your home away from home in Carmel. Oakland isn't that far away! You're welcome back here anytime. Be well!

Perfect cottage

This cottage is so cute and in an ideal location! I would 100% stay here again. The host Barry went above and beyond with communication and fantastic surprises along the way. Don’t walk but run to book this! The beds were so comfortable, the fireplace was dreamy, the movies that he’s so thoughtfully had set up in advance or spot on.. We absolutely loved this place and will be back again!

Hi, I’m Barry — a lifelong lover of old homes and the quiet stories they carry. I’ve spent years restoring places with soul — homes built with care, meant to be lived in slowly. There’s something deeply fulfilling about uncovering a house’s hidden character, honoring its past, and giving it new purpose.

I grew up in Chicago, surrounded by timeless architecture and true craftsmanship. In my twenties, I wandered through North Africa, the Middle East, and Europe, falling in love with the art of hospitality — the shared table, the unspoken warmth of being welcomed as family. Those experiences taught me that real connection lives at the intersection of people, place, and space — a feeling I try to evoke in every home I create.

Hosting happened naturally. Friends began staying in my renovated cottages, and I realized how much joy came from crafting spaces where people instantly feel at ease — spaces that are simple, serene, and genuine.

For me, hosting isn’t business; it’s an extension of care. I want guests to rest well, breathe deeply, and leave a little lighter than when they arrived. I believe the smallest details — soft light, a quiet reading nook, the scent of ocean air through an open window — can shift how we feel.

When I’m not hosting, you’ll find me exploring the California coast, sketching ideas for another design project, or traveling to gather new inspiration. Wherever I go, I’m drawn to that same timeless grace — the kind of hospitality that makes you feel instantly at home.

The best part of all this is hearing from guests who say they found peace here, or that they didn’t want to leave. That’s when I know the spirit of the place has done its work.

Welcome to Carmel — I hope your time here feels as restorative as it was to create.

Darum fiel die Entscheidung auf diese Unterkunft

Carmel-by-the-Sea has always felt like a place apart — a small coastal village that moves at its own rhythm. I first came here for the beauty of the ocean and the trees, but I stayed for the feeling it gives me every time I return: a sense of calm, creativity, and belonging.

The air here carries the scent of salt, pine, and cypress. Mornings arrive with soft fog, and by afternoon, light filters through the branches, scattering across stone walls and garden paths. It’s beautiful without trying to be — quiet, natural, and timeless.

What I love about this neighborhood is its simplicity. There are no streetlights or sidewalks, just narrow lanes, ivy-covered fences, and homes that reflect the people who’ve cared for them. Each cottage feels individual, shaped by hand and history.

My home sits in a peaceful spot close to town and the beach. You can walk for coffee, stop at the bakery, browse a few galleries, and be back in time to hear the waves through the trees. The pace is unhurried, and that’s part of what makes it special.

The people here are another reason I love this place. Artists, travelers, and longtime locals all seem drawn by the same quiet spirit. It’s easy to start a friendly conversation on a morning walk or while tending a garden gate.

Even after years of living here, I still feel grateful each time I turn down the hill and see the ocean ahead. Carmel has a way of slowing you down and bringing you back to yourself.

That’s why I chose this neighborhood — for its natural beauty, its human scale, and the simple peace it offers. I hope you feel it too.

Das macht diese Unterkunft einzigartig

What makes this cottage special isn’t any single feature — it’s the quiet harmony of light, space, and intention. From the moment you step through the garden gate, there’s an ease to it — a sense that everything belongs exactly where it is.

When I found the cottage, it was worn but full of promise. The bones were solid, the craftsmanship honest, the spirit intact. I restored it piece by piece, keeping what was real and true, and bringing in light, warmth, and calm. Every choice — from the hardware to the linens — was made with care, not to impress, but to feel right.

The cottage sits behind native gardens and old trees that filter the sun throughout the day. Inside, the design is simple and intuitive. Morning light pours through the windows; evenings settle into a quiet glow. The materials are natural — wood, stone, linen, glass — creating a timeless calm that reflects Carmel’s landscape.

What sets this place apart is its balance: old soul, modern comfort, and a genuine sense of ease. It’s a space meant for slowing down — to read, rest, or watch the light shift through the trees. Guests often say it feels larger than it is, not because of size, but because of how open and peaceful it feels.

The cottage is close to both town and the beach, yet tucked far enough back to feel secluded. You can walk for coffee, dinner, or a sunset stroll without ever starting your car. Mornings bring the scent of ocean mist; nights carry the hush of waves in the distance.

I didn’t restore this home as an investment, but as an act of care — to preserve a small piece of Carmel’s quiet spirit. Over the years, guests have told me the same thing: that the cottage helped them slow down, rest, and reconnect.

It’s not a showpiece. It’s a refuge — a simple, soulful home that holds space for you to feel at ease.
