  • We are a longtime Super Host and Guest Favorite on the other, bigger vacation rental site. Search online for carmeldolphinhouse for more reviews.
    Fall asleep to the sound of the waves and wake up to watch for dolphins, sea otters, whales, and sea birds. Take a path next door to a secluded beach or a scenic 10-minute drive to Carmel restaurants or Big Sur hiking. Just 8 miles away are Pebble Beach and Monterey. Our home is fully appointed with natural wood, stone and glass, plus designer furniture and a kitchen equipped by professional chefs in our family. All sheets are 800 or 600-thread count 100% sustainable cotton. *Why do we have a variable pricing policy? This allows a couple or small group to pay per person rather than full capacity of 8. Many of our guests are just one couple so we have tailored our pricing for parties of two. The base listed rate is for two guests, there’s a fee for each additional guest. *Sorry, no visitors*

    The home’s two entries offer privacy among guests, with the Guest Wing ideal for extended families. All 4 bedrooms have bathrooms en-suite and there's a 5th bathroom near the living room. Main entry:
    + Living room with wood-burning fireplace
    + Dining area and counter seating
    + Sea watch sitting area: 2 swivel rockers.
    + Chef’s Kitchen with Blue Star range. All-Clad, Sur La Table, and Henckels cookware and serving ware, as well as four coffee-making systems.

    * Natural table linens and cotton napkins.
    +Small bathroom with vintage clawfoot tub
    +Host’s suite has a king bed with a door to the deck and hot tub, plus an outdoor shower. The bathroom en suite has a partial ocean view and a large, curbless shower. Towel warmer, salon-quality hair dryer.
