Far enough removed from the bustle of Ocean Ave. yet we could easily walk there in under 10 minutes (and to the beach in 10 minutes too!) PS it's actually more spacious than the photos make it look. We would absolutely come back.

The cottage is beautiful and perfectly located - with an easy walk to either the dog friendly beach or the town of Carmel. There were lots of restaurants and shops close by. All in all a wonderful experience.

Nice LR and fireplace. Beds are comfortable, nice linens. The master bedroom is very cold as there is no heat to it. There’s a radiant fireplace and portable radiant heater that help, but within minutes of turning them off it’s very cold. So...we stayed in the second bedroom after the first couple days. Be advised in winter months, the heat in the home has to be on almost all the time as it gets quite cold. When we arrived, the windows were quite dirty...and nothing was done. The roof and gutters are full of pine needles so when it rains - which it did a lot - they overflow.

A few issues, but overall very nice.

This is a fantastic rental. Pictures are representative of the property. Although this property allows pets, there is no evidence of it in the condition of the home and decor. Conveniently located close to downtown and to the beach. Very quiet street. Well appointed with everything that we needed. Thank you to the owner for sharing your property. We hope to be able to make a return visit.

The owners of Whispering Waves have added all the details to their place for a comfortable stay. It is not only beautifully decorated but has bedrooms and a kitchen with everything you could need. With two patios you are able to sit in the sun or shade and in the front you can hear the ocean. There is a lane across the street that takes you on a quick walk down to the beach and a within a five minutes you can be on Ocean Avenue so the location is perfect. I had a couple of questions and was able to meet the manager, Pravinesh Singh, who was readily available to assist me with anything. It was a magical and relaxing vacation and I highly recommend this property.

Delightful doesn't even begin to describe how lovely our stay was at this Carmel home.   My girlfriend and I escaped from Palo Alto with another couple to Whispering Waves for the weekend and we never wanted to leave. The drive to the property was straightforward and clear. The house is right off of the main street in the town - making everything within easy walking distance. When we arrived, much to our delight, there was wine and fresh gourmet goat cheese and crackers waiting for us!! The rooms themselves were nicely apportioned. The living room had a wood-burning fireplace, two plush recliners, and a cozy couch. The kitchen was fully stocked with brand new utensils, cookware, dishwasher, gas-burning stove, clean oven, gigantic refrigerator, and packets of coffee and tea ready for the next morning. Our bedroom (the master bedroom) had an electric fireplace, full bathroom, and cozy king-sized bed. The guest bedroom had a queen-sized bed and was next to another full bathroom, making things easy for a group of 4. My favorite part about the place overall though was the skylights: Practically every room in the house had a skylight so natural light was always flooding through the house. As far as location is concerned - everyone LOVED where the house was situated. A 5 minute walk in one direction would place you smack in the center of Ocean Avenue with coffee shops, boutiques, restaurants, art galleries, and wine tasting rooms literally surrounding you. Another 5 minute walk in the opposite direction would land you on the beach. The morning run through the neighborhood and up to Carmel Point was fantastic. Watching the fog roll back from the sea along a green, rocky coastline from a smooth sand beach was arguably one of the most gorgeous views we'd ever seen. If you need a break from any kind of stress at work or just want to clear your head in a cheerful place, Whispering Waves is absolutely for you. We cannot recommend it highly enough.
