Taking a trip to Carmel requires the ultimate Carmel by the Sea Vacation Rentals. It’s easy to find a hotel or inn to stay at in Carmel. In fact, there are so many lovely places, including Bed & Breakfasts as well. But my ultimate dream is to stay in a fairy tale cottage in Carmel on my next visit. And I found several gorgeous AirBNB or VRBO Stays that are absolutely storybook dreamy and romantic. Who wouldn’t want to stay in Carmel by the Sea fairy tale cottages during their trip….unless they are a wicked witch? (Trick question.)

These are SO adorable! I would love to stay in one of these (or you know, actually own one!). They are JUST like they’re out of a fairy tale. What scenic spots to stay in! I wouldn’t want to leave! If I ever get to California I’ll be sure to make a stop out in Carmel-by-the-Sea!
I loved this post! These spots look magical! I visited Carmel-by-the-Sea many years ago but haven’t been back. Thanks for sharing 🙂
These really are adorable. We have never stayed in Carmel by the Sea, just driven through, but this makes me want to plan a trip to the California Coast!
All of these are SO cute!!!! I especially love the Charming Breadbox Cottage. I am totally adding these to my vacation rentals bucket list and adding Carmel by the Sea to my travel bucket list!
