The Smiling Poet

The Smiling Poet: California

Like a warm hug, this classic cottage-style home presents a soothing space to relax between discovering the serene beaches, sought-after restaurants, impressive art galleries and sophisticated wine tasting locations of Carmel-by-the-Sea.

Furnished with style, homely features pave the way to a comfortable and practical stay here. With tons of natural daylight flowing through the space, wake up feeling refreshed and energised amidst the peaceful setting. Take in the ocean views with a breath of fresh air each morning from the sun-drenched terrace as you plan the day's adventures in Carmel.

Located just three blocks away from Carmel's white sandy beach, you'll be in easy reach of lazy beach days by the sea, as well as just seven blocks away from the entrance route to the "17-Mile Drive"- which takes you along a beautiful, picturesque road unveiling stunning ocean views and breathtaking mansions. When you arrive home, spend your evenings at the comfortable outdoor seating area by the fire pit with a glass of California wine.
