"We enjoyed our four night stay. The hotel is in a great location right in the heart of Carmel-by-the-Sea. Underground parking is included at no charge so all you have to do is park once and then it's a short walk to Ocean Avenue and all the great shops, restaurants, wine tasting rooms and galleries. Our room was spacious and clean and the bed was quite comfortable. The hotel staff was genuinely friendly and helpful. Like most hotels in Carmel the property is older with some deferred maintenance...

Top Monastery Beach Hotel Reviews

Carmel Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was fabulous! I liked the ocean view from our room, the 1 block walk to the beach and the super convenient shuttle up the hill to the shops and restaurants. Didn’t need a shuttle back to the hotel, the walk downhill being so pleasant. It was very close to the 17-mile drive. There is parking onsite. The room was very clean."

Carmel River Inn & Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"The whole atmosphere was great, relaxing, quiet and quaint.. loved the cottages. We plan on a return trip. easy drive into Carmel for shopping and restaurants.."

3874 Mission Fields - Adorable Carmel Custom Home

10/10 Excellent

"THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS PROVIDING ONLY ONE KEY FOR MULTIPLE GUESTS"

Sycamore Place - Carmel House - Beach, Shops, Restaurants, Big Sur (plus pool table and hot tub!)

10/10 Excellent

"we had a great time, the house was clean, the PM team was wonderful with any questions we had. We found the location very central to Carmel. We would stay there again!"

3897 Driftwood - Walk to Beach & Mission, Hot Tub

8/10 Good

"Enjoyed the hot tub. The property is very nice, but could use some new upholstery on the sofas and a new area rug in the great room. The beds and bedding were nice. The master bath was new and looked very modern. The kitchen was clean and modern.We had an issue with the smoke alarm going off two separate times late one night. Eventually someone came to take the battery out. The gentleman who came to help us understand the TV and how to program it, was very helpful.We would rent this property again."

3867 Dolce Tempo~ Quiet Area, Walk to Town & Beach

10/10 Excellent

"The house was lovely and in a great location to walk around Carmel and to the beach. Everything was well laid out and comfortable. Beds were great and everyone slept well. The one tricky piece was the navigation to the property -"

Stunning Ranch Home with Ocean Views

10/10 Excellent

"The house was more than we could have hoped for, a fabulous home base for our Carmel/Monterey/Big Sur adventures. We had an older family member with some mobility issues and the one-floor living made everything so easy. Even with mobility issues they were able to join the rest of us and enjoy the decks and gorgeous views since the railings were so well placed. It was so relaxing to watch the horses and cattle as they grazed, with the ocean in the background, we could have spent hours out there. We also loved the easy walk/drive to Point Lobos State Park and were happy to find that some of the paths there are ADA compliant and wheelchairs are available so we were all able to enjoy the Nature Reserve. All of that combined with easy access to super markets, shops and restaurants made it a standout vacation for us."
