Ocean view suite in a restored barn - walkable to Pt. Lobos and Monastery Beach!

Perfect for a family visit to the Carmel area, ideally 2 adults and 2 or 3 kids. This beautifully restored barn has a view of the Pacific, with Pebble Beach beyond. Think of a hotel suite, Central Coast style. It has a private sleeping area for adults and plenty of space for the kids. It includes a cooking/bar/dining space, three TVs for entertainment, outdoor private beer garden with fire pit, a full bathroom and on-property parking. Pt. Lobos State Reserve and Monastery Beach are both a short walk away! It is a fantastic place!

Staying at the barn is such a unique experience. We were able to enjoy S’mores overlooking the ocean, feed and pet miniature highland cows and enjoy everything Carmel and Monterey have to offer. Plus, playing pool kept and foosball kept the kids entertained during any downtime. We’ll definitely be coming back.

Barn in Carmel
Highly recommend this property. Great family and place is new and built with love. The barn is amazing and great place for family with lots of space, fun things to do, great outdoor seating with water views. The kids had a lot of fun and it was only a few minutes drive to downtown Carmel for the adults. Highly highly recommend and will be returning soon.

Everything about our stay was lovely. Hosts are friendly and accommodating. Location perfect within walking distance to Point Lobos and beach. Driving distance to shops and restaurants and beautiful Big Sur. The barn building is comfortable ( love the heated bathroom floors) fire pit and electric fireplace added to cozy feeling. The views of the coastline and Pebble Beach was lovely. The cows are adorable!!

Great for a family
Our family of 4 (with 2 younger kids) loved the property. Location is perfect. You can walk from the property to the beach or to a hike. Or it’s a very short drive to all the attractions on the Central Coast. Plenty of space inside and outside. The cows were a huge hit with the kids.

Perfect location! Very comfortable space.
This was our 29th anniversary and my husband and I had a glorious four days around Carmel, Big Sur and Point Lobos. You can literally walk across the street into the point Lobos park. We highly recommend the flying Fish Café in Carmel, one of our best meals ever. Rich, the host was very interesting and pleasant. Overall, it was just a wonderful trip.
