The location was great. A block from the beach and 10-15 min to the center of town on foot. The cottages themselves were cute, but extremely functional. The best part was the warm welcome from Gretchen, who was very outgoing and generous with her time. We really felt welcome there and would be happy to go back if we visited... More

I visit Carmel at least 5 times per year and I keep coming back to Edgemere. It's a quaint and defines what an English Cottage experience can be. The innkeepers treat me like family and the breakfast is exquisite. Now, Edgemere is not really within walking distance of the village, but it's one block away from a secluded beach. Real... More

We just came back from a fabulous stay in Carmel. Gretchen and Doug were friendly and accommodating hosts who instantly put as at ease and made us feel at home. My 6 year old daughter and I both have gluten allergies and she has a nut allergy. Gretchen prepared a delicious frittata one morning, with fruit and hot coffee, and... More

My wife found this charming inn and we booked it for two nights right after Christmas. Our room had a nice kitchenette, gas fireplace, Wi-Fi, etc. Owner is most gracious, cooked great breakfasts, and even loaned passes to Monterey Bay Aquarium (saved us $70), which is a nice amenity! Would definitely stay here again and recommend it.

Carmel is one of those towns that's a rare find. Edgemere is truly a hidden gem in this town, a treasure that only exists in a Tolkien novel. Fortunately for Audrey and I, we get to experience the shire in Carmel. Run by Gretchen and Doug, this wonderful home has enough warmth for all the hobbits, dwarfs and elves of... More

Edgemere Cottages provided just what we wanted in a B&B in Carmel. We were on a quiet street but close enough to the beach to hear and smell the ocean with the windows open. Gretchen was a great host. Breakfast was relaxed and casual with good conversation and great food. We enjoyed wandering through the gardens and relaxing in the... More

Edgemere Cottages is a charming little B&B in the heart of Carmel. Just one street over from the ocean, you can open the windows and hear it all night long. The home is owned by a charming woman that was raised in Carmel. Breakfast was delicious and the location was great.

Stayed here on our honeymoon last month for one night. Next time we will definitely be staying for a weekend at least. Pros: - Super friendly hosts while not overbearing. - Cottage was awesome. We were upgraded to a wonderful room with more space than we could possibly use. It had everything we could ever need including a fireplace, full... More

We were upgraded to Picadilly Cottage, a gorgeous and comfortable cottage. Very short walk to Carmel beach. Lovely streets to wander through and easy walking distance to local shops & restaurants.loved the walk home in the dark as Carmel has no street lights! Gretchen cooked a delicious breakfast and joined in conversation with us and our fellow guests, she had... More
