Anniversary trip
The view alone is worth staying here. We had both back doors open any time we were there. The layout is perfect for enjoying the sound of the waves and the view of the sunset. The house is also perfectly located for being able to do day trips to San Francisco or Big Sur. If you are looking for a place to stay that is cozy and has amazing views you found it.

Cozy cottage
Fabulous location! The cottage was clean, comfortable and well stocked. Lots of nearby trails to hike, and a lovely patio to enjoy the sunset over Point Lobos. Despite being right on the beach, it still felt secluded and peaceful. We hope to come back again soon!

Hard to beat
There are very few beach side properties to rent in the area. We scouted this place out the previous year and booked it straight away. Great location and pretty easy access to anywhere on the peninsula. Great views of Point Lobos etc. and loved the history associated directly to the founder.

Incredibly Special Property
My husband and I have been fortunate to spend 3 anniversaries on this property- 2019 in the Whaler's, 2021 in the Abalone, and this year in the Sea Otter Cottage. We LOVE all 3 of them. This location is so amazing- incredible views of the beach, ocean and Point Lobos. All 3 are very well equipped, maintained and cleaned. The Whaler is obviously better suited to larger groups, due to its size. The Whaler and Abalone have more unobstructed ocean views from the large windows, however, the Sea Otter has the benefit of more privacy/seclusion since it is tucked back in a bit. We preferred this location, as it also comes with more direct, private beach access. We would stay here every year if we could. If you are lucky enough to be able to find any of these open during your dates of travel, book it! You will not be disappointed.

Perfect vacation
The Sea Otter cottage surpassed our expectations. The cottage is beautiful, cozy, and has all the comforts of home. We enjoyed cooking every meal because the quality of every kitchen item from pots and pans to knives were top notch and in new condition. We loved the private patio with our own path down to the beach. The views are breathtaking! It was the perfect vacation for us. Definitely will book again.

Convenient location
We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It was convenient to places we visited and the views were beautiful. The kitchen is well equipped and nicely laid out. The couch is very comfortable. I gave it four stars because the smaller bathroom is so tiny that it is hard to use the toilet and its door does not lock or even latch. Also, the hall rugs are loose and I tripped a few times on them.

Wonderful beach cottage
Very pleasant rustic small cottage right on Monastery Beach which is more secluded than the main Carmel Beach. I was by myself with my dog, and it is perfect for that purpose. But it also would be for 4 people. Excellent kitchen equipment, very easy to cook meals and eat on the patio, weather permitting. Good beds, fluffy towels, and at night only the sound of the waves to help you sleep. Carmel Meadow Trail is one of the most beautiful ones in the region, full of flowers, sweet scents and gorgeous views of Point Lobos. Somewhat on the expensive side with all the ad-ons, but if you can afford it, you won't regret it. I would highly recommend it.
