Vibe is super tranquil – it’s even got its own meditation garden.

A stunning mansion built in 1905 for part of the Ghirardelli family, recently restored and two blocks from the water. Can’t get much sweeter than that.

Drive 5 minutes to the beach for the real thing.

Rise & shine with the plentiful on-the-house breakfast (a hot entrée, freshly baked goodies & more!) served in the inviting Coach Room.

Tucked away in a chill residential 'hood, yet less than a 15-min flip flop to Del Monte Beach (a local hidden gem, btw).

Mostly wine-themed rooms decorated by local wineries which also do weekly wine tastings onsite (notice a theme here?).

In the mood for a leisurely lunch? Look no further than the hotel’s own eatery.

Killer location: in the thick of downtown but within romantic strolling distance to the beach.

Welcome wine from Bernardus' own vineyard starts your stay right. Complimentary in-room wine bar's even righter.

Smack in the heart of downtown, within strolling distance of restaurants, art galleries and the beach.

Boutique, family-owned inn strollable to all things Carmel. Grab fresh local pastries and coffee before heading out.

Free WiFi? Yup.

Bring your furry friends along for the ride. This place is pet friendly.

Fireplace in every room. Snuggle up with a good e-book for the evening. (Who uses paper anymore?)

A 5-min drive gets ya beachside.

In old town Monterey, a short drive to Cannery Row, the Aquarium and Carmel.

Free WiFi keeps us from getting the tech withdrawal shakes.

Located between charming, stroll-worthy Carmel-by-the-Sea and tourist-fave Monterey (both have beaches, take your pick).

Convenient downtown location places you near must-visit shops, restaurants and attractions.

Walk to Fisherman's Wharf to see the sea lions in action (or inaction... they're usually kinda sleepy).

Spot-on location puts you steps from the biggies like downtown, Cannery Row and Old Fisherman’s Wharf – plus tons of dining options.

An oceanfront locale with beach access, a rooftop hot tub and private balconies. Like!

Tucked away in a low-key residential ‘hood, walkable to Lake El Estero, Dennis the Menace Park, dining, shops and the beach.

Lovely, old-school motel minutes from the heart of Monterey. Park your car and head to the pier!

Winning location puts you just a couple of minutes from the waterfront and Fisherman's Wharf.

Set your alarm: every night at 5:30, there’s free wine and cheese in the lobby.
