“With its Victorian flourishes and flower-lined walkways, this spot near Ocean Avenue feels immediately welcoming. I like that the owners take a hands-on approach, contributing to the cozy, community atmosphere. For a comfortable stay in Carmel-by-the-Sea, and with many restaurants so close, it stands out as a smart choice.”
