The place is clean and cozy. We stayed at one of the cottages across the street, which had a jacuzzi. Breakfast was delivered every morning. The staff is very friendly and helpful. All the attractions of Carmel-by-the-sea are within a walk distance (albeit a bit hilly). Don't expect much "ocean views" from any window.

This property was in a great location, walkable to many shops and restaurants. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and the property was very clean. Our only disappointment was that the bed was not comfortable and the small square, flat pillows need to be replaced with regular size pillows. Very uncomfortable.

Great location and staff. The continental breakfast in the picnic basket was a cute touch in the mornings. Rooms need to be updated as they are a little dated / musty.
