Carmel-by-the-Sea Home Comparison

Ask yourself these questions when selecting a Carmel-by-the-Sea vacation rental:

Q. Is the home close to the beach and town?
A. Many properties in Carmel-by-the-Sea are blocks away from the beach or town. You may be able to walk the first few times, but you'll probably give up after that.

With restricted parking in the town, and with tough competition from tourists, if your Carmel home is too far away, you'll soon find excuses to miss the beautiful afternoon stroll on the beach, a morning latte, or popping into town for brunch at the many fine restaurants.

Costarino is just three minutes walk from both the town and beach.

Q. Is the home modern, warm and does it fill with sunlight?
A. Many homes in Carmel were built quite a few years ago with low ceilings and small windows. Staying in a cramped and dark older property may not be the best way to vacation. Costarino is a cheerful home with raised-ceilings, plenty of sunshine and magical Carmel energy.

Q. Does the home have a gas/wood burning fire?
A. Nothing beats a wood burning fire. Gas is great but the crackle of the fire and soothing glow of the embers adds magic to any evening. Costarino aslo has an outdoor gas fire pit for all evenings.

Q. Can the kids play outside?
A. Costarino has a fenced back yard suitable for children and pets. The home is on a non-through fare street with very little traffic and is suitable for youngsters to bicycle.

Q. Can more than two cars be parked at the property?
A. Costarino has room for one car in the garage, one additional vehicle in the driveway with further parking in front of the house.

Q. Is the home bright and cheerful?
A. Some older homes for vacation rental in Carmel have been somewhat 'abandoned' by their owners to property management firms. The interiors can become worn and somewhat tired. Costarino is well kept by the owner.

Q. Is Costarino better value than a Carmel hotel?
A. A six day stay for six people and their dog at Cypress Inn (my favorite hotel in Carmel which I highly recommend) equals the price of a four week stay at Costarino for the same number of guests. Please check the Hotel Comparison page for full prices.
