House was exceptionally clean and cute. Only issue was neighbor’s dogs in the mornings. They seemed to start making noises (barking and growling) about the same time every morning. However, this house is situated in an ideal area near everything we wanted to do and was very comfortable so I would recommend this house.

What are the must-see attractions in Carmel-by-the-Sea?

Carmel's premier attractions

Point Lobos State Reserve

This nature reserve is the crown jewel of California's state parks. Delicate flowers adorn its landscapes, which are home to herds of deer as well as seals. On the coast, you can see cormorants among the crashing waves. Download the free app for children, which teaches them all about the natural world.

Carmel City Beach

Popular with locals and international visitors alike, Carmel City Beach has its own unique atmosphere. Catch a wave, loll on a sun lounger or play with your pet on the dog-friendly stretches. One of the best times to see the beach is at sunset - stroll along its sands after stopping in at the artists village near Monterey.

San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo Mission

This remarkable edifice from 1770 features a star-shaped rose window emblazoned on its elegant facade and a small dome. Come and experience its unique atmosphere, which is especially magical when the choir is singing.

Garrapata State Park

You've read Big Sur; now explore this State Park and walk in the footsteps of Jack Kerouac for the day. Hike up fifty feet from the two mile beachfront for incredible views of the Pacific. Grey whales, sea lions and seals can be spotted from this vantage point. Perhaps you too will be moved to poetry or song!

China Cove

This cove is an absolute must-see. Considered by many to be the pinnacle of Point Lobos, China Cove is an emerald gem of a cove. You might just spot a peregrine falcon as you picnic at China Cove, and you're likely to see seals and their pups playing in the turquoise blue water.
