We stayed 2 nights while in the Carmel area and quite frankly we were looking forward to a great experience at this B & B. We were assigned room # 3 and it was clean and functional. but rather pedestrian. The view from our window was the fence in between houses, it was small and not very well appointed...There was...

We stayed here for four nights in late March in room 11. Very quiet and charming little inn. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Really comfortable bed. We'd happily stay here again. Love the grounds! Short little stroll to the beach but you do have to drive into town -- unless you like hiking in the dark. In March... More

My wife, daughter, and I stayed for 3 nights in room #16 (king bed + double). It met our needs perfectly! The property was built as an inn in the 1920s. The main great-room space and all of the guest rooms have been updated within the past few years. WiFi is available throughout, but no televisions (yea!). Our 14 year... More

My wife and I stayed one night here as part of a drive up the California coast. The Inn was located amongst neighborhood housing. It was very relazing. It was located two short blocks from the beach. We heard the waves by leaving the window open at night. The breakfast was delicious. The room was spacious and clean. It was... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our one-night stay. They were not full for the weekend and I had called the prior Thursday morning, so they waived the two night minimum. The room was simple, elegant and inviting. Everything was clean and in good repair. The staff was warm and helpful. The breakfast was nice: fresh fruit, quiche, yogurt, and granola. They serve...

I was lucky to be able to book a room at the Sandpiper. It was Valentines weekend and I surprised that there was an availability albeit only for one night. The facility was very inviting from the moment we walked in the front door. Our room #4 was the perfect size a queen bed with a sitting area next to... More

We went to this place in July of 2012. I love the dining/living area. When we arrived classical music was playing and the fireplace was on. It felt really warm and inviting. We had two rooms. One for our three daughter which was next to the living area in the outside area (room 16). This room is very spacious and... More

A short block away from the crashing waves and white sand beach and close to the downtown shops and restaurants of Carmel, this inn is the perfect spot for visitors to the area. We arrived very late in the evening, having driven through some heavy rain on unfamiliar highways. A member of the staff waited to greet us and make... More

When I travel, I try to look for lodging that doesn't allow pets, children or TV. In my mind, a stay in Carmel, CA should be an experience without the distractions of everyday life. I have been staying at the Sandpiper during my trips to Carmel for the last 5 years. The crashing waves of nearby Carmel Beach, just a... More

The rooms are very tastefully decorated, clean and warm, the lobby area and the breakfast room are cozy and inviting. The location is quiet .Just a minute's walk and you are on the beach so that was really convenient. The inn keepers are very cordial and helpful. Had a wonderful experience!
