We have traveled quite extensively and I can say we have never received more gracious and thoughtful hospitality. Barry provides a 5 Star Concierge Level service equal to any luxury hotel or premium resort. Location is great and everything one needs is provided. We throughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Our tenth Anniversary and Birthday will be one to remember.
Tranquil garden path to cottage.

Barry is the finest host we have ever had at VRBO, or any other rental platform. He went above and beyond to make us feel welcome - wine & cheese board upon our arrival, homemade cookies with ice cream, and a couple of unobtrusive check ins during our stay to make sure everything was running smoothly.Barefoot Comfort is equally outstanding. It is impeccably designed and furnished, with top of the line linens, bath towels, and furnishings. On site laundry was a plus. The location is fabulous! We walked to dinner, the galleries and shopping.We are excited about our next stay.

Beautiful cottage in a secret garden

If we could give 1000 stars in all categories, we would! Cozy, quaint, clean, magical. This cottage was the perfect place for two and came with all the amenities! My husband and I spent a week here for our 10th anniversary. Conveniently located to surrounding towns and trails, we were able to revisit so many places from my childhood, an easy drive to everything! Don’t feel like driving? We were in walking distance to cute shops, restaurants and the beach!! Barry is a wonderful host, easily accessible for questions. Aside from the amazing serene garden landscape with calming water fountains, we were welcomed with a delicious board of crackers, cheese, jam and wine waiting for us! What a nice treat after traveling across country. Barry makes sure to give the finest touches. We will definitely be staying here again if we visit, and will recommend to anyone visiting the area!

Wonderful little cottage

We are so glad that we rented this property. We could walk to all of the shops and restaurants, yet we were on a quiet residential street. The cottage itself is lovely, from the decor, original details, and the surrounding gardens. Barry was the perfect host who made us feel welcome and at home before, during, and after our stay.

Perfect Little Spot

Barry the host was awesome. Had a little charcuterie board and wine waiting in the cottage when we arrived and some tips on things in and around Carmel. Easy to get a hold of him. Great little one room, one bath spot with a kitchen and a laundry room below. Just about 2 blocks to walk into the retail section of Carmel and its cool little shops and restaurants. We went whale watching, beach combing, bike riding, kayaking, hiking in Big Sur, hiking in Pinnacles, did a spa afternoon, and plenty more all within an hour and a half or less of a drive, most being within about 20 minutes. Would definitely recommend going, it was great!

Amazing Trip!

My wife and I came stayed in this VRBO for our planned elopement in the Big Sur. When we booked the stay, Barry called us to introduce himself, to learn about us, and the reason for our stay. Barry did a great job communicating with us about the place and even made an adjustment on the length of our stay seamless. Barry knew we were coming for our wedding and wrote us a handwritten card and gave us a cheese and cracker plate with a bottle of wine. It was very thoughtful! He had a few other really nice things he did but I don't want to ruin the surprise for anyone staying here. Just know that Barry really cares about the people that stay at the cottage. We plan on returning in the future to revisit our ceremony location and won't stay anywhere else!

Where do I start..

The only aspect better than our charming cottage, amazingly comfortable bed and linens, perfect location (easy walk to everything in town and to gorgeous beach), sensational location to route 1 drive and Big Sur, as well as to Monterey for aquarium, 17 mile drive, etc., was the absolutely supreme host, Barry, with whom we felt an instant kinship. He knows all of the best hideaways as well as the "musts" for first-time visitors, and i know it will get even better as we continue to visit bc once isn't even close to enough! We have already signed up to stay again next year. We are two western New York special education teachers who really are not annually able to take such a vacation, but Barry's place is reasonable for what you get in return and very worth the sacrifice and savings in the interim. We couldn't be more impressed! And more eager to return!!

Cute, comfy and well-located

We spent 8 lovely nights in Barry's Guest House on an extended vacation. He was SUCH a wonderful host! Proactive in sharing information and very responsive when we had any questions. We had been to Las Vegas and Disneyland prior to arrival in Carmel. What a pleasant change! The cottage had everything we could possibly need. From the beyond comfortable bedding to the luxurious shower, everything was awesome. Several times later in the trip, we lamented how much we missed the always ready hot water and great water pressure in the cottage shower. We watched TV comfortably most night. Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV were all available with our subscriptions. And it was so nice having access to convenient laundry facilities downstairs from the cottage. Thanks, Barry!

Romantic Escape to Carmel

We were on our 40th Anniversary trip and stayed at this dreamy little place. It is so quaint. Very clean and comfortable. Small but doesn’t feel small because every detail is perfect. From the start, our host, staged a romantic atmosphere. The lights turned down low and music on the tv as we entered along with a nice note and treat on the table welcoming us. It was a lovely surprise and set the tone for our trip. Barry is an excellent host. He was a wealth of knowledge of things to do and see, not just tourist spots but unique places. He had little surprises throughout our stay that were so thoughtful but not intrusive. You will love this place!! We will definitely return.

Perfect spot for a relaxing getaway

We stayed for a week in this little studio/cottage just steps from the hustle and bustle of downtown Carmel, with a location so quiet and secluded it felt like everyone was miles away. We have stayed in many rentals and Barry's communication was by far the best of any of the hosts we have worked with. The info provided prior to arrival was perfect, and his response time to any questions we had was superb. He is clearly committed to every guest having a wonderful experience. The cottage is exactly as pictured/described. The bed was very comfy and the linens were wonderful. The provided toiletries were a pleasant surprise - liquid soap for the bathroom sink plus shower gel and shampoo in the shower - and unlike most hotels they did not have a strong scent, which we really appreciated. The location is perfect for walking to restaurants & shops. If you are not familiar with Carmel you should be aware that the beach is a fairly steep walk uphill to return to the cottage. But there is public parking and street parking if the walk is too much for you. If we find ourselves back in Carmel in the future I would only rent from Barry.

Enchanting Honeymoon

The only reason NOT to stay here is if it’s already booked. We utilize VRBO for all of our travels and have had a lot of good hosts along the way. Barry is by far above them all. Communication began at booking. He was flexible with our dates, he kept in touch periodically up to our stay, and checked in a few times while we were there to see if we needed anything, He thought of every detail. The cottage was very clean, perfectly located, and stocked with everything you might need. The cottage is located within easy walking distance of everything in the Plaza, Carmel Beach, the scenic houses along the beach; Point Lobos is only a couple miles away, Mission Ranch a five minute drive, Big Sur a gorgeous 30 mile drive south along the coast of Hwy 1, and Monterey about 15 minutes north. Carmel is a beautiful fairytale place that speaks for itself but Barry and the cottage make you feel like a local with a home away from home.

My husband and I stayed in this cottage and it was serene and comfortable from the moment we walked in the door. The host, Barry, had prepared everything immaculately and was always available if we had any questions or needed anything.

Image de profil de l’hîte
About Your Host‹Hi, I’m Barry — a lifelong lover of old homes and the quiet stories they carry. I’ve spent years restoring places with soul — homes built with care, meant to be lived in slowly. There’s something deeply fulfilling about uncovering a house’s hidden character, honoring its past, and giving it new purpose.

I grew up in Chicago, surrounded by timeless architecture and true craftsmanship. In my twenties, I wandered through North Africa, the Middle East, and Europe, falling in love with the art of hospitality — the shared table, the unspoken warmth of being welcomed as family. Those experiences taught me that real connection lives at the intersection of people, place, and space — a feeling I try to evoke in every home I create.

Hosting happened naturally. Friends began staying in my renovated cottages, and I realized how much joy came from crafting spaces where people instantly feel at ease — spaces that are simple, serene, and genuine.

For me, hosting isn’t business; it’s an extension of care. I want guests to rest well, breathe deeply, and leave a little lighter than when they arrived. I believe the smallest details — soft light, a quiet reading nook, the scent of ocean air through an open window — can shift how we feel.

When I’m not hosting, you’ll find me exploring the California coast, sketching ideas for another design project, or traveling to gather new inspiration. Wherever I go, I’m drawn to that same timeless grace — the kind of hospitality that makes you feel instantly at home.

The best part of all this is hearing from guests who say they found peace here, or that they didn’t want to leave. That’s when I know the spirit of the place has done its work.

Welcome to Carmel — I hope your time here feels as restorative as it was to create.‹‹— Barry

Pourquoi avoir choisi cet hébergement ?

Carmel-by-the-Sea has always felt like a place apart — a small coastal village that moves at its own rhythm. I first came here for the beauty of the ocean and the trees, but I stayed for the feeling it gives me every time I return: a sense of calm, creativity, and belonging.

The air here carries the scent of salt, pine, and cypress. Mornings arrive with soft fog, and by afternoon, light filters through the branches, scattering across stone walls and garden paths. It’s beautiful without trying to be — quiet, natural, and timeless.

What I love about this neighborhood is its simplicity. There are no streetlights or sidewalks, just narrow lanes, ivy-covered fences, and homes that reflect the people who’ve cared for them. Each cottage feels individual, shaped by hand and history.

My home sits in a peaceful spot close to town and the beach. You can walk for coffee, stop at the bakery, browse a few galleries, and be back in time to hear the waves through the trees. The pace is unhurried, and that’s part of what makes it special.

The people here are another reason I love this place. Artists, travelers, and longtime locals all seem drawn by the same quiet spirit. It’s easy to start a friendly conversation on a morning walk or while tending a garden gate.

Even after years of living here, I still feel grateful each time I turn down the hill and see the ocean ahead. Carmel has a way of slowing you down and bringing you back to yourself.

That’s why I chose this neighborhood — for its natural beauty, its human scale, and the simple peace it offers. I hope you feel it too.

‹— Barry

Quels sont les atouts de cet hébergement ?

What makes this cottage special isn’t any single feature — it’s the quiet harmony of light, space, and intention. From the moment you step through the garden gate, there’s an ease to it — a sense that everything belongs exactly where it is.

When I found the cottage, it was worn but full of promise. The bones were solid, the craftsmanship honest, the spirit intact. I restored it piece by piece, keeping what was real and true, and bringing in light, warmth, and calm. Every choice — from the hardware to the linens — was made with care, not to impress, but to feel right.

The cottage sits behind native gardens and old trees that filter the sun throughout the day. Inside, the design is simple and intuitive. Morning light pours through the windows; evenings settle into a quiet glow. The materials are natural — wood, stone, linen, glass — creating a timeless calm that reflects Carmel’s landscape.

What sets this place apart is its balance: old soul, modern comfort, and a genuine sense of ease. It’s a space meant for slowing down — to read, rest, or watch the light shift through the trees. Guests often say it feels larger than it is, not because of size, but because of how open and peaceful it feels.

The cottage is close to both town and the beach, yet tucked far enough back to feel secluded. You can walk for coffee, dinner, or a sunset stroll without ever starting your car. Mornings bring the scent of ocean mist; nights carry the hush of waves in the distance.

I didn’t restore this home as an investment, but as an act of care — to preserve a small piece of Carmel’s quiet spirit. Over the years, guests have told me the same thing: that the cottage helped them slow down, rest, and reconnect.

It’s not a showpiece. It’s a refuge — a simple, soulful home that holds space for you to feel at ease.

— Barry
