This is such a special place. The location is gorgeous. It’s the perfect getaway: whether you want to stay home all day or take a day trip to Big Sur or Point Lobos. You won’t be disappointed.
Our family had such a wonderful time staying at the Abalone Cottage! The hosts were very communicative and the house was spotless upon arrival. We thoroughly enjoyed the walking trail nearby. Highly suggest this lovely home to anyone who wants a quiet place to stay right on the ocean. We can’t wait to stay again!
Amazing view, great place to observe beautiful sea life, relaxing environment~Pure serenity!
This enchanting seaside cottage is right out of a fairytale! Spectacular views of Pt Lobos and Monastery Beach mesmerize you as you sip your morning coffee or sunset wine. The cozy wood burning fireplace adds to the charming ambience. Stunning walk to Carmel River State Beach is a great way to start each day. The cottage was well equipped and clean. So happy the owners are willing to share this family retreat with us. Cannot wait to return!
Lovely setting with striking ocean views and sunsets. History of property is very cool. House was perfect for two people.
This is one of the best vacations I have ever had. The property is amazing. Perfect views of the sunset over the beach. It was relaxing to listen to the sound of the waves at night while falling asleep. The town of Carmel is so cute and quaint and the locals are so friendly. But truthfully if I never left the property in 5 days I would have been just as content. I hope to be back next year.
We had an amazing time during our stay at the Abalone cottage . The cottage was clean , quaint and cozy for the 2 of us. It has a Beautiful view of the ocean !!! Loved the Cozy fire place for the chilly nights . We enjoyed chilling out in the lawn chairs in the back yard listening to the waves, watching the coastal fog come and go, and walking down all the paths along the ocean. Kitchen was nicely equipped, and Checking in and out process easy peasy. With Carmel so very close, we had some lovely dinners out , and take out for the chill nights. Me and my husband loved our stay ! Hope to come back again soon. ♥️??. T. Obrien
Can’t say enough. Unbelievable, from our host to the property. Secluded with amazing views.
Comfortable and clean house. Comfortable beds and linens, very wl stocked kitchen with nice utensils. Quiet house and restful location. Nice shops nearby, loved the local stores and restraunts. Thank you for the bottle of wine it was nice to enjoy on our first nite at the house, watching the sunset. Will definitely return.
We enjoyed our entire 4 days in this wonderful little cottage. Get back to simple living and take in the superb view of Carmel Bay. Great set-up for our dog, too.
It was so peaceful there. It felt very homey and the view was amazing. I think I sat there for hours watching the waves. The girls loved exploring the trails and beach looking for treasures. They even chose that over other adventures. It was agreat stay and I was sad to go.
This little abode was a perfect homebase for our family of 4 with a 2 and a 3 yr old. The kitchen was very well equipped, there was laundry, easy parking, the space was cozy but enough space with the two bedrooms and two bathrooms to not feel too small. The backyard and grounds were magical; view was amazing; and the location was superb. We went down to Big Sur, over to Point Lobos, along the beach and water in both directions, and up to Monterey. Can’t rave about this place enough. It was the linchpin to our wonderful vacation. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
Great location and accommodations! Enjoyed our stay!
Abalone cottage is a one of a kind experience. As close to the beach and gorgeous hiking trails as you can get in all of Carmel. Charming old school details, a cozy fireplace, incredibly private and all the amenities you could possibly need. The hosts make it super easy to check in and are highly communicative. They love this precious property and it shows. We cannot wait for our next stay. Liz and Julio
This is our second time staying at this charming cottage. If you are seeking the natural beauty of the Monterey Peninsula, spectacular ocean views, and no crowds you will love it here. There is something so calming about falling asleep to the sound of the ocean every night.
I have stayed with friends at bothWhaler’s Cottage and Abalone Cottage several times. Each and every time has been a delight. The cottages are sublime and the location is unbelievably gorgeous. The hosts are wonderful.
A dream come true to stay in a cottage on the Pacific watching whales and sea life. The cottage was utterly charming.
The cottage is comfortable and well equipped. The cottage and beachfront setting are exactly as pictured on VRBO. The beauty of the setting is breathtaking.
Being so close to the ocean was such a treat. The cottage was such a beautiful place to be.
What an amazing place! Our stay at Abalone Cottage couldn’t have been more perfect, and Sara, Pat and Mike were great hosts. Exactly as advertised, except you can’t fully capture the beauty of the setting and specialness of this place with words. Well appointed, cozy and the perfect spot to start your day with a stroll on the beach, a walk along the coast and end it watching the sunset while cozying up to a fire. We met a couple who had returned every year for over a decade, and I mean it when I say we hope to do the same ourselves - thank you for a fantastic stay!
This cottage has a stunning oceanfront location with a view of Point Lobos and crashing waves. It’s a great place to relax and connect with nature. We saw seals on the beach, as well as cranes and quail in the yard.
