About this property

Sunny Side of the Street

I just wanted to reach out and share the extra precautions that will be implemented due to the Corona Virus. Be assured that ALL bedding, blankets, comforters, duvet covers, sheets, mattress covers, pillow covers and towels will be washed in hot water. This will be done the morning of check in. The entire home will be diligently cleaned and sanitized before your arrival.

We are fortunate to live in an area where natural beauty is abundant! In this time of social distancing we have so many opportunities to get outside. Go for a walk along the beach, a hike in Big Sur or a stroll through Carmel Valley. The possibilities are endless in one of the most beautiful places in the world!

As a member of the Monterey Bay Aquarium, you have to access to 2 guest passes that you and your family may take advantage of!

Please know that every effort is being made to ensure you have a safe and healthy experience!

Blessings,
Jamie

This sunny, family-friendly home is located a few blocks from the Carmel Mission and minutes from downtown Carmel. The house itself features three queen bedrooms and two full sized bathrooms. French doors open on either side of the large living room to both the front garden patio and the spacious back deck. The location provides easy access to the greater Peninsula where you can enjoy exploring beaches, hiking, John Steinbeck’s historical Cannery Row, Monterey Bay Aquarium, and nature paths along the stunning shoreline. I am a member of the Monterey bay aquarium and I have 2 guest passes available for your friends and family.



The residence is within walking distance of the Carmel Crossroads Shopping Center, and crawling distance from the finish line of the Big Sur International Marathon. Heading south on Highway One you are only two miles from whale watching at Point Lobos State Park, and 26 miles from breathtaking Big Sur. We are fortunate to host a variety of events in the area, such as the AT&T Pro-Am Golf Tournament, Concours D’ Elegance, Monterey Jazz Festival, Big Sur International Marathon, Bach Festival, Reggae Festival, races at Laguna Seca, and an annual Food and Wine event.


Amenities include a kitchen that is stocked for indoor and outdoor cooking, washer and dryer, hair dryer, flat screens in every room with cable, laptop workspace and wifi, off street parking, and an extra queen aerobed. In addition, you will find everything you need to vacation with a toddler, including a high chair, Pack ‘n’ Play, booster seat, stroller, and plenty of toys. A large play structure and sandbox in the back yard are guaranteed to keep your children entertained for hours. When you are ready to hit the beach, everything you need for a fun-filled day is supplied: toys, table and chairs, cooler, umbrella, towels, and an all-terrain wagon.


This property is in high demand, so be sure to
book as early as possible.

A wonderful place to stay
I was looking for a quiet place to stay for a short getaway in Carmel as I do visit this area a few times a year and this was absolutely perfect, not too big nor too small. This house is well stocked with everything you need to be comfortable, just an enjoyable home to reside in for your travels.

a week in Carmel
Jamie was a very responsive host. She met us at the property and went through all of the essentials. The beds were comfortable. She has a very slanted driveway which created a problem for me. I fell down trying to get out of the car. There are other parking options which we used after my fall. Bottom line, the house was a good size with plenty of space for the two couples.

Wonderful stay in Carmel
We were in Carmel for a wedding in Big Sur. The location of this property was perfect for us. Quiet neighborhood but close to shopping areas- grocery, bakery, coffee shop-- and to the highway to Monterey and Big Sur. Also close to downtown. We actually walked to downtown Carmel one morning via the parkway Jamie told us about. The property was just as described- maybe even better. The grounds were beautiful with the flowers! Jamie was an attentive, generous host.

Perfect for families!
The house is in the absolute most perfect location for exploring downtown Carmel by the Sea, Monterrey, and Big Sur. Although my kids just wanted to stay home and play in the incredible backyard! Jamie made a point to welcome us and give us recommendations around town. She is the sweetest! Wouldn’t consider staying anywhere else on our next trip.

A very nice family get away.
My family and I had a wonderful time in Carmel! Our only mishap was a miscommunication between our check in time and the property manager as the house was not clean when we arrived. However, they were able to get cleaners over quickly and we were compensated for the lost time.

I have lived in Carmel for 40 years and in that time I have had plenty of time to explore everything the beautiful Monterey peninsula has to offer. I am enthusiastic about sharing my experiences with you.
My property manager Anne will be available to you at all times.I do keep a small private studio on the property for the rare occasion I’m in Carmel.

Why they chose this property

My home has had an open door policy for over 18 years. I have had the opportunity to embrace friends and family from all over the world. I was fortunate enough to raise my 3 children here. As as our family has expanded, so has our relationships with people near and far.
