“Great place to share with friends, family or a loved one.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 March 2011

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 in the sitting area. The bedroom is spacious and very cozy. The bed was very comfortable.
Breakfast was great (eggs, homemade scones and fresh fruit) sitting in the dining room of the main home. If you want modern and shiny - this is not the place. If you want to experience the real Carmel area - homey, cozy and down home - this is the place.

We walked in to town and explored the lovely neighborhoods. Had a great lunch at Casanova's sitting on the front outside patio.

Our hosts Gretchen and Doug were very warm, friendly and gracious.

We would highly recommend Edgemere and will definitely return!

“I come back to this charming Inn year after year”

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.

“Wonderful stay - Gretchen & Doug were great!”

We had a two night stay at Edgemere and i wish it could have been longer. Gretchen and Doug were the perfect hosts. The room was clean and cozy and the grounds were wonderful. I was only able to join my wife and daughter one morning for breakfast (early morning tee time at Pebble Beach was calling) but the one day I did have breakfast was wonderful. My wife gleefully rubbed in what I missed the second day of vacation. Any future trips to the Carmel area will include another stay at Edgemere.

“Great host and great location.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 April 2010

Look past the older style and the simple but very cosy and comfy accommodation - Edgemere has two major pluses - the location and the hosts. A family owned and operated B&B (we stayed in the patio room) where your hosts Gretchen, Doug (plus riffraff & magenta - the cats) made us feel most welcome and very relaxed so far from home. The room and property was all we needed to enjoy this very pretty - and pretty expensive - township of Carmel-By the Sea...at a reasonable price.

If you are looking for quiet, cozy, intimate and romantic, this place is for you!! I seriously need to decompress and this place was the perfect place. We stayed in Rosemont Cottage and loved it! The breakfasts were fabulous and well-portioned. Gretchen and Doug were fabulous! I would highly recommend this place to my family and friends.
