Dear Friends,

Thank you for filling our cottages with LOVE!!! For those of you who haven't been back to Carmel in a while, I just put together a new collection of images for you to experience the romance and beauty of this little seaside village from afar.

February has been a spectacular month in Carmel so far. All the plants are enjoying the rain and now Spring is in the air with many native flowers in full bloom across the hillsides. If you’re considering your next escape to Carmel, this is a great time to rent a vintage roadster and bomb down HW1 along the ocean for a cocktail on the clifftop deck at Nepenthe in Big Sur, just 45 minutes drive from the cottages. And be sure to play your favorite tunes along the way! You’re sure to have a magical experience.

Also, our bookings in 2024 have been robust and the Main House is 75% full up to November. We do, however, have a few weeks available in April, May, and June, and also a bit more availability in the Studio Guest House. All members of my Inner Circle (you!) are able to book up to 18 months in advance if you reach out to me directly. And I always love hearing from you.

Enjoy the images!

Barry (and Adam and Jacob)
