We chose this wonderful spot based on Tripadvisor reviews and we weren't disappointed. Doug and Gretchen are great hosts, the breakfasts were different, healthy and delicious and the dining recommendations and "where to go" in the area were excellent. Carmel is a super, but expensive place, and Edgemere Cottages provided the ideal alternative. A short walk to the beach, good... More

We have stayed at the Edgemer cottages several times. They are pet friendly ( our dog peaches is our baby) We wanted to get married without the traditional wedding extravagenza, as we have both been married once. We approached Gretchen and Doug about having the wedding reception in their gardens, which are beautiful. We had our immediate family stay at... More

We just returned from 4 nights in the Piccadilly cottage and, honestly, we were in no hurry to leave. I loved our cottage for its charm, comfort and location. It's a 10-minute walk into town but just one block off the beach. Perfect for us, especially since the "downtown" crowd can be a little over the top. The breakfast served... More

This was a special occasion for my family. I took my mom (and aunt) here to celebrate a big birthday and her three year post lung transplant anniversary! My mom had always wanted to visit Carmel, so off we went and none of us were disappointed. We stayed in the Rosemont cottage and from the minute we stepped into the... More

We stayed in the Piccadilly Cottage and I had the best sleep of the year. Very comfortable bed and pillows. Doorway opens half way (dutch door?) so we could let the cool breezes in. Nice little gas fireplace. It is not the Ritz, but its quaint, very clean, not junky with kitsch and dried flowers like some b&b's. Several beautiful... More

My wife and I and our 10 month old daughter stayed in the Rosemont room for 3 nights and had a wonderful time. The cottages are clean, nicely decorated and property is beautiful with narrow landscaped paths leading to the room. Our room had a fireplace as well a gas stove. And the kitchenette was great for cooking small meals... More

We just reserved Picadilly Cottage at Edgemere and look forward to our return! Our first visit was last Summer. We selfishly want to keep the Cottages a secret, but have shared our experience with friends and family. Each morning we were treated to delicious, homemade quiche and baked goods...YUM! Conversing with Gretchen, Doug and fellow guests brightened each day. Being... More

Had a great sisters weekend at the Edgemere. Located in residential area one block from beautiful white sandy beach. When we arrived we felt we had walked into a storybook with a winding garden path to our cottage. We stayed in the Rosemount room and enjoyed the lovely garden views from every window, outside patio, and large wood burning fireplace... More

A rare treat of an Inn located a stone's throw from the beach in beautiful Carmel. Caring on site management, a lovely complimentary breakfast, and beautiful landscaped grounds. Stay here once and you'll always stay here. More
