My wife and I met our two adult sons in Carmel at The Cypress Cottage. Everything exactly as listed. Owner communication was quick and very kind/helpful.
It is very quiet.
Everything was perfect, a great launching point for all area attractions and a space to simply rest and enjoy company inside or the back deck area. Indoors, just open a couple of doors and windows for fresh air circulation throughout the cottage.
Walking distance 0.8 to 1 mile to city area. Ubers are plentiful. Can park rental car downtown if you do not mind waiting on a space.
Carmel Farmers Market on Thursday. Try the local fruit and veggies - strawberries and Mission Figs, a must try.
Over 4 days, we visited 3 beaches, Bayonet Golf Course in Seaside, state parks, 17 mile drive, Pebble Beach Resort, and two trips to Big Sur for evening drives and dining. We spent time shopping in Carmel.
If you like to stay in for meals, the gas grill works great. All you need for cooking is supplied, including an entire spice cabinet. K-cups provided to get started with Keurig. Safeway grocery store is just 5 to 7 minutes away.
The back deck/yard was our favorite spot for breakfast, afternoon rest, and evening wind down - chairs, couch, coffee table, and dining table. It is totally fenced for pets, even a pet waste bag dispenser. There is a swing for children.
The bedrooms were perfect for our group, sharing the main bath for showers and using the 1/2 bath worked fine.
Highly recommend. Book now!

We have been here a few times and it is now our go-to spot when we visit our friends in the area. Our dogs love the space, we had our Grand children there this visit and they loved the back and the bunk beds!
Perfect location right off of Hwy 1 yet very peaceful and quiet.
We will be back!
Cypress Cottage was the best pet friendly property we have stayed at. Our little dog loved sunbathing on the deck and our 9 month old got his best sleep to date in the pack n play set up in the guest room. The property was not booked the night before our trip so the host reached out and let us know we could check in a couple of hours early which was huge with a baby who naps in the afternoon. Thank you for the best experience!

Amazing location with a super dog friendly yard and deck. Cottage is charming, well equipped and cozy when cool sea air comes by. Management was very available, accommodating and helpful. We would highly recommend this location!
