A Note on Accommodations:


Carmel by the Sea has an extensive range of accommodations, from boutique hotels and cozy inns to great Airbnbs. We’ve included a list of suggested stays below, and there are plenty of options across different price ranges, so feel free to explore and choose what works best for you.


For the easiest experience, we recommend staying in Carmel by the Sea. Monterey, Carmel Highlands, and Carmel Valley are also great nearby alternatives.


Summer in Carmel is a busy season, so booking soon is highly recommended :)


**Update: If your preferred hotel appears “unavailable” online, it may not actually be sold out. Several guests have had success booking anyway by calling the hotel directly and reserving over the phone, so we definitely recommend trying that! 🤍
