About this property

Walk to 2 Beaches When You Stay at BeachWalk ...

Looking for an escape with access to gorgeous beaches and beautiful forests? Or, if you prefer, walking distance to a cute downtown with lots of shops and restaurants?

Beautiful 2 bedroom, 2 bath home located in a quiet neighborhood within 4-5 blocks of 2 beaches! Carmel River State Beach and Carmel City Beach.

The kitchen, living room and dining area are spacious and comfortable for small gatherings of family or friends.

Your home away from home, enjoy the outdoor patio, cook up dinner in the kitchen or on the BBQ, and dine outside by the gas heater. And as the evening cools, snuggle up with your favorite novel as you light up the gas fire pit, or enjoy one of your favorite movies on the flat screen HD TV from our movie collection, or play one of your own on our Blueray DVD player. Comcast adds 140 channels and wifi is also provided.

If you want to get out ... dine at the famous former mayor's 'Mission Ranch' just 3 blocks away. Visit the galleries, shops and restaurants in 'Carmel By The Sea' - just under a mile and easily walkable through the beautiful unique Carmel neighborhoods. Visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium or golf at one of the 18 courses on the Monterey Peninsula.

If you'd rather enjoy nature ... drive through the Del Monte Forest or head south to Point Lobos State Park and Big Sur. So many places to hike and beaches to explore! Rent bikes (or e-bikes!) and cycle along the coast from Monterey, past Lover's Point, to Pebble Beach. Avid cyclers can also cycle north past numerous sand dunes on a coastal bike path. Paddle kayaks on the Monterey Bay, at Lover's Point, or up the coast at Moss Landing.

And at the end of the day, enjoy an outdoor happy hour at Folklore Winery up Carmel Valley Rd, enjoy 3-5:00 PM 'Grazings' at Mission Ranch, or take happy hour to the beach ... with chairs, your beverage of choice, and snacks to watch the sun set over the water.

Nestled in a quiet neighborhood, you will have complete quiet and privacy. (There is a guest unit behind the main house that we use. The units are completely separate and private.)

So close to the ocean, you can hear the surf at night!

Covid-19 Note: We are offering 100% cancellation refunds up to one week ahead of arrival dates if Covid somehow interrupts your travel plans. These are rapidly changing times and we feel we could all use a bit of flexibility and a lot less worry. We use professional cleaners to clean and sanitize our home. No guarantees of course, but we're doing our best.

A Lovely Forest Cottage
The cottage was cozy in the cold weather. It has a well appointed kitchen for a chef or one can enjoy great restaurant choices close by. We loved sitting out front in the afternoon by a glass filled fire pit watching the local birds forage and cavort. This cottage is one of a kind.

Beachwalk and Carmel, a stay too short
Coffee in the chill of morning, on the patio, to a chorus of local avifauna. Strolling the neighborhood, chatting with the neighbors even though you're not. To the beaches, the breeze,the sands. Unhurried steps from shop to shop, for that one memory. An evening on the deck at Mission Ranch to an hilarious cacophony of crows. This and more is what our hosts shared, a respit worth returning to.

Wonderful Stay in. Armel
The property was very clean and just as promised. The location was walking distance to two beaches, the Mission and a bit longer to downtown but still walkable. It was very peaceful and comfortable. The hosts have thought of everything you could need and want for your stay. We will not hesitate to return.

At Home!
It felt like we were staying at a good friend’s house….a good friend’s house that’s in a super nice neighborhood! Walk to everything and just enjoy the manicured yards. Walk to town, go outside and appreciate the stars, we loved it. Oh. And you’re at the start of the Big Sur, 15 min from Monterey, world class golf, super friendly people.

Carmel/Pebble Beach Visit
The place is lovely! It was a perfect place for my family. I was traveling with my son, who was working the ATTProAm, and my elderly Mother. The place had everything we needed, and then some! We were so close to everything in Carmel, Pebble Beach, Monterey, and Big Sur. It is about a 5 minute walk to both beaches in Carmel, and also Mission Ranch. During the last day of our trip, there was some pretty severe weather that came through the Monterey Peninsula (hurricane force winds). Sandy and Alex were great to check on us and make sure we had everything we needed. I would definitely stay here again! And highly recommend Sandy and Alex as hosts. :-)

About the host

Hosted by Alec and Sandy Hoag

Host profile image
Having just sent both kids off to college, we are happily continuing to work while traveling and getting to know each other again. :)

Why they chose this property

We gravitate to the ocean and beaches. Having made frequent trips to Monterey and Carmel over the years, we recently decided to move to the coast. Our dogs love walking on the two beautiful beaches! And within walking distance of downtown Carmel, the shops, the restaurants ....

What makes this property unique

Two rather different beaches to walk to: The long main, gently sloping Carmel city beach, and the changeable, more steep and wild Carmel River State beach with its inner quiet river front and meadow.

A 20 minute walk through forested neighborhoods to Ocean Avenue and favorite restaurants and shops.
