About this property
Steps To Carmel Beach, in the golden rectangle. The perfect location!
Tucked away in a quiet/private neighborhood in the "Golden Rectangle" on Carmel Point, Just 800 ft to Carmel Beach is our Sea Cottage. A short walk to Carmel State Beach & wildlife reserve (1block+). A short walk to the East is the Mission Ranch, owned by former Mayor/Actor Clint Eastwood. See sheep in the meadow, lagoon or enjoy a fine meal at sunset. Point Lobos is an experience that shouldn't be missed!
The cottage is completely updated. Casual elegance unparalleled.

About the host
Hosted by Karen M. Crossman
I grew up in Aspen Colorado on my Fathers cattle ranch which is now known as Snowmass at Aspen ski resort. I spent the school year in California and every summer in Colorado. Nursing was my passion and eventually led to my own successful business caring for the elderly in Carmel for over 20 years. I currently live in Pebble Beach.
Why they chose this property
I inherited this property in 2004 and lived in it for a time before updating and remodeling it. I'm so fortunate to own this little piece of paradise, it truly is an enchanting place. The quiet peaceful neighborhood, so close to the beaches, the village and Pebble Beach, yet so private. It's wonderful to be a part of this area, to experience all the wonders of our coastal life.
What makes this property unique
I fell in love with this Sea Cottage, it reminds me of the Sea cottages of old Europe. With their peaceful gardens, fences and close proximity to the sea. I know you will enjoy it too.
