Carmel Wayfarer Inn

A Romantic Getaway in Carmel-by-the-Sea

The Carmel Wayfarer Inn is a very nice little place for a couple in the heart of Carmel-by-the-Sea. It’s an independently owned inn situated on the hillside and provides a very good mix of village convenience with a courtyard and ocean views from a number of the rooms. It’s all about the simple things, being in a walkable area and its value for money.

A Coastal Setting for Time Together

Right on Ocean Avenue, just three blocks away, you’ve got restaurants, boutiques, coffee shops, and art galleries all within easy walking distance. Carmel Beach, for example, is a lovely place to go for a sunset walk, which is about a 10- to 12-minute walk from the hotel. Carmel Wayfarer Inn is a coastal property rather than right on the beach.

The shared garden courtyard is a lovely place to just get together, with plenty of seating outside and a fire for the cool coastal evenings. It’s one of the aspects that receives very positive reviews from guests, along with the excellent location in the village.

Rooms and Suites for a Couples Retreat

The inn describes its accommodation as recently renovated with hardwood floors, good quality bedding and all the practical modern conveniences you’d expect. Guest reviews are very positive with regard to the comfort of the beds, the cleanliness of the rooms, the size of the rooms and the value for money in the area.

King Rooms and Ocean Views

The approx. 215 sq ft King Bedroom takes in two guests and has a fireplace, so it is a very desirable option for those wanting to spend some time indoors.

The approx. 400 sq ft Ocean View King has a king bed and full Pacific views. It’s on the upper floor and is only accessible by stairs. It also has air conditioning, a ceiling fan, and heating. Ocean views and fireplaces are dependent on the room category.

Additional Accommodation Choices

Double Queen rooms, ground-floor Executive Suites overlooking the courtyard, and two-bedroom Family Units offer alternatives for couples traveling with companions. Ground-floor Family Units are available upon request, subject to availability.

Everyday Comforts and Pet-Friendly Stays

Amenities include free WiFi, daily housekeeping, limited free on-site parking, cable HDTVs, mini-fridges, and in-room coffee and tea making. Some of the rooms have air conditioning, desks, blackout drapes and/or fireplaces.

Designated pet-friendly rooms are available (max 2 pets at any one time) with a charge of $40 per pet per day. Pets are not permitted to be left unattended in the room, and dogs must be on a lead whilst on the property.

Romantic Dining and Coastal Exploring

Dining options in the vicinity are La Bicyclette (French/Italian cuisine) and Vesuvio Restaurant (with a rooftop terrace). These are both independent local restaurants, not hotel restaurants.

Point Lobos State Reserve and the 17 Mile Drive offer the opportunity for some nice scenic drives out of the village.

To summarize, Carmel Wayfarer Inn offers couples a charming and convenient retreat in the heart of Carmel-by-the-Sea. With its recently renovated rooms, welcoming courtyard, and closeness to local attractions, the inn provides excellent value and a memorable setting for a romantic break along California’s scenic coast.
