The location is beautiful and centered within walking distance to all of the fun shops and restaurants in Carmel. We loved the gardens everywhere on the property! However, the king bed (family cottage) was very uncomfortable. It felt like I was rolling to the side all night—not great support. The housekeeping was also not as expected. They did take out trash and wash some dishes, but many dishes were left out, the beds were basically unmade, and floors were not vacuumed when there was clear dirt/sand all over. Regardless, overall the space was good!

Good Value in Carmel

Quick trip with my brother & puppy while I attended a weekend workshop in Big Sur. I would’ve given it a 5-star rating, but the WiFi was really inconsistent & slow. Overall, cute, clean & comfortable stay that was conveniently located.

Great dog-friendly cottage in a fantastic location

We stayed in Dolores Cottage #1 with our two college-aged kids and dog. Cottage was very clean and comfortable and the location can't be beat -- walking distance to the beach and tons of restaurants, shops, art galleries in town and a short drive to Monterey. The cottage has a full kitchen with cups, plates, bowls, etc. but other than some pots and pans, the kitchen isn't equipped with very much cookware (e.g., no cookie sheet, mixing bowls, measuring cups etc.) so if you're planning to cook, pack approriately. Only negative was the cabin didn't seem to be set up for recycling. We just collected our recyclables and left them in a box next to the trash so hopefully they got recycled.

The room was nice with a little kitchenette equipped with utensils, which we used to make breakfast. Was great since they did not provide breakfast. Staff were friendly and very accommodating. The main strip (Ocean Ave.) was just a couple blocks away and a nice walk to the beach. Briarwood is PET FRIENDLY! The only criticism I would have about our room was the shower. It is very cramped. Other than that, this place GOOD!

Cozy cottage downtown Carmel

Cozy and comfortable and conveniently located. Parking right in front and all of downtown Carmel is nearby. What's not to like? Oh, the bathtub was kinda small, OK for a shower, but not appealing for a bath, but...that's minor.
