Best VRBO we’ve ever experienced. Accolades to Krista !

If you want to be within walking distance to everything in Carmel by the Sea and stay at a VRBO that is fresh, bright, clean and very well stocked, look no further than Beauty & the Beach! Even though we only cooked in one night, we appreciated that the cottage came with all seasonings, oils, dishes, pots and pans one could ever need to create a nice meal. The beds and pillows were super comfy and we loved the added bonus of spa style robes and slippers! The sweet little gifts they had for us when were arrived were a nice touch and Mark & Krista were easily contacted when we had questions during our stay.

We are already plotting ways to come back to Carmel and stay at this home again. This property is so well appointed (very comfortable sofa and beds, well outfitted kitchen). Location is perfect for walking to town/dinner/etc. The hosts are very communicative and responsive to any questions. Seamless stay in Carmel!

My husband and our teen daughter stayed in this lovely cottage during July and it was absolutely wonderful. The location was right off Ocean and easy to walk to all the restaurants and shopping. The property though is what was so special and it made us instantly feel at home. It's so charming and everything felt new and fresh, but it was all the little details the home owners thought of that made this one of the best rentals we have ever booked. It was a summer we will never forget. Thanks M & K for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Fabulous Stay!
I can't say enough about this beautiful cottage! The home is walking distance to all the shops and restaurants and only .45 miles from the beach. It's beautifully decorated inside and has the most amazing backyard. The home had high-end touches that one would typically see in a 5-star hotel (robes, slippers, high thread count sheets, etc). The owners are super helpful with recommendations of things to do and places to go. We will definitely be back! Thank you Mark and Krista!

We had a great stay. The home is a block from the restaurants and shops of town. It's also a reasonable walk to the beach. We appreciated the host's personal recommendations and beautiful home. We made great use of the available beach toys, kitchen for prepping lunches, and backyard for soaking in the warmth of the sun.

What a delightful stay we had over the holidays at Beauty and the Beach! Krista and Mark, the owners, could not have been more communicative, helpful, generous and available. They were thoughtful and responsive at every turn. The house itself is a darling cottage, beach-style home that is cozy and pretty. We cannot say enough about the location - it could not be any closer to all you want to access in Carmel - galleries, restaurants, shops - all are within a short walking distance. Plus the beach is accessible walking down 8th or Ocean Ave. where you can view beautiful sunsets or walk along Scenic Drive, We were so happy to be able to stay at this property and hope to be back in the future. Thank you for everything, Krista and Mark.

Absolutely charming experience!
Where do I start? Mark and Krista were wonderful! They made me feel right at home and also gave me a thoughtful welcome gift. The location could not be any more perfect. It is close to all the fine restaurants, shops, entertainment, and I was able to walk to the beach. Their home is filled with charm. I could tell how much thought and detail they put into making this cottage. The backyard is beautiful as well. I love this cute little cottage and can't wait to come back!
