Carmel, California
If you are looking for a quiet place to rest your bones & recharge your batteries...this is the place. It is a 700 sq ft cottage on 13,000 square feet of land with beautiful views of the surrounding Monterey Pines and Oaks.
The cottage has all the ''creature comforts'' of your own home including a complete fully equipped kitchen....but if cooking is not on the agenda for the day, no need to start the car just enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner at the 5 star restaurants of the Highlands Inn. It is just a quick 2 minute walk away.
If staying in is your style, you can BBQ & watch your favorite TV/sports program on the 42''HD flat screen TV or sit on the front patio w/ your beverage of choice & enjoy a partial, peek-a-boo view of the ocean & the south side of famous Point Lobos State Park...or you can take a short peaceful walk to catch the beauty of the ocean and the waves of the coast at sunset....whatever you choose to do, you will be glad you stayed at the Cottage by the Sea to relax & enjoy.
What Is Great About Us!: What is is that they say that makes something great Location, Location, Location....and we have just that! Our home offers the quiet and the serenity with the views, the vistas, the crashing waves and the majesty of the pines and oaks. Our little cottage's location is seemingly so far away for the peace and relaxation we all seek...yet so close at hand for excellent dining and shopping in Carmel by the Sea, hiking at Point Lobos State Park, driving 17 mile at Pebble Beach, listening and watching the 'lone bagpiper' come down the fairway at Spanish Bay at sunset, visiting Monterey's Ocean Aquarium and wharf, dining at the Highlands Inn (HI) 5-star restaurants and/or listening to jazz/light entertainment in the HI Great Room while enjoying the beauty of the Monterey Coastline...a little piece of paradise located perfectly to suit all your needs.
This is our second time at Cottage by the Sea. We are enjoy the coziness of the house, the location to restaurants and activities, the he sound of the ocean - and the deck! Our lab puppy Scout also loved it. We can’t wait for our next visit this July. Thanks Jann!
We enjoyed our 2 week stay at the cottage, which included multiple outdoor sitting areas and a deck that was perfect for our 2 dogs. Cute property in a nice quiet neighborhood and only a short drive to Carmel! It was the perfect vacation to start my retirement…the owner even provided a delicious chocolate cake and bottle of wine!
We enjoyed our stay. it was secluded but yet so close to Carmel and the Barnyard shopping center. We would hope to book again in the future.
It was our first time to Carmel and this cottage was located in a perfect spot to explore the area. We spent 8 nights with our teenage daughter and really enjoyed hiking in Point Lobos and Garrapata State Park, Big Sur and up north in Henry Cowell Redwoods park near Santa Cruz. The cottage was cozy and in a beautiful setting, and Jann was kind and extremely responsive whenever we had questions.
Great for 2 people and a dog. The location is unbeatable. Loved walking our dog around the neighborhoods and taking in the scenery. 10 minutes from Carmel by the Sea and right at the entrance to Big Sur. Jann was an amazing and kind host. Would recommend to anyone wanting to stay in the hills of Carmel !
My wife and I recently stayed in Carmel Ca. at the Cottage by the Sea which was truly a rustic elegant five-star experience. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at ease and at home in this peaceful and calming environment. The cottage itself is nicely appointed and has everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay with wonderful garden areas on the tree filled lot to enjoy your stay. But what really sets this property apart are the spectacular views of the ocean just a short stroll away and its location in the Carmel Highlands along with its own peekaboo ocean view. Whether you're enjoying a morning cup of coffee on the porch or watching the sunset in the evening, the area is incredibly relaxing and serene. Our host Jann, went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the area and gave us some great tips on where to eat and what to see. Overall, I would highly recommend “Cottage by the Sea” to anyone looking for a beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing getaway. It truly exceeded our expectations and look forward to going back again in the near future.
The cottage was in a lovely area of Carmel Highlands. No surprises as everything was as shown in the pictures. Jann was very informative and quick to respond and helpful with info for the area. Would definitely stay there again. Hikes along the coast in Point Lobos is a must if you stay, just one mile away
The Cottage by the Sea is a wonderful place to stay to experience Carmel and the surrounding areas. The Cottage is adorable, charming, comfortable and has everything you need for your stay. I was there for 2 weeks and it truly was a home away from home. The views of the ocean and surrounding landscape is breathtaking. Jann is the perfect host and was very accessible and made sure every part of our stay was perfect including suggestions for activities, restaurants, best places for views in the Carmel Highlands, etc. Definitely will be back for another stay in warmer months! Thanks, Jann!
Had a wonderful stay. Would recommend the property to anyone considering a visit to the Carmel area.
Home is absolutely perfect. Nicely tucked away from the hustle and bustle but yet a short drive to shopping & restaurants. 5+ stars!
This rental has been our favorite so far. While the square footage is small, we were impressed with how big it felt. The layout is great. The updated look and the comfy bed made us feel at home. We (along with our two Labs) thoroughly enjoyed the deck everyday in the morning with coffee and breakfast, in the afternoon journaling or reading, and in the evening stargazing and hearing owls and frogs. We heard crashing waves and seals throughout the day. Jann was a great host and was very responsive. We definitely will come back again. Thank you from Liza, Dave, Daisy and Cooper
Loved my cottage home for 3 weeks in beautiful Carmel Highlands away from the hustle of Carmel downtown but only a short drive when I wanted to go there. Jann provided everything I needed and very responsive if I had questions. Planning already for next year!
A very quiet and relaxing house to make as your home base while you experience all that Carmel and surrounding areas have to offer! The bed & pillows were super comfortable, the towels were soft and smelled great. We tried many of the owners suggestions which added to a wonderful stay. Point Lobos State Natural Reserve is one of the most beautiful spots in Northern California, the cottage is so close you can easily roll out of bed and be the first ones in to enjoy before everyone else does! You have so many choices from dining in downtown Carmel, exploring 17 Mile Drive, seeing the beauty of Big Sur, enjoying a local farmers market, walking and having a drink at The Highlands, to just staying in and listen to the seals barking on the front deck while breathing in that fresh ocean air. You can’t have a bad time staying here. The owner was easy to communicate with and enhanced our stay. Thanks Jann!
The location and amenities at “The Cottage by the Sea’ were outstanding. It was the perfect place to stay, for us and our dogs. We hope to come again soon.
From the moment we turned in the driveway, my wife and I and our Golden Retriever were at peace in the beautiful surroundings of the Cottage by the Sea. The cottage itself was amazing and has a large deck in front, perfect to just chill out with our Golden and enjoy our coffee. Jann made sure that we were comfortable and even welcomed us with a cake and bottle of wine for our anniversary. There is a spectacular view of Pt. Lobos just up the road and walking around the forest neigborhood was amazing. And our visits to Carmel River State Beach were wonderful. I am looking forward to a return visit soon. Thank you Jann for being so kind and welcoming.
Great little house in a good location surrounded by beautiful gardens. Very close to point lobos state Park and Carmel by the sea. Great home base for our adventures around Monterey Bay and big sur. I highly recommend!
