Ocean view suite in a restored barn - walkable to Pt. Lobos and Monastery Beach!

Perfect for a family visit to the Carmel area, ideally 2 adults and 2 or 3 kids. This beautifully restored barn has a view of the Pacific, with Pebble Beach beyond. Think of a hotel suite, Central Coast style. It has a private sleeping area for adults and plenty of space for the kids. It includes a cooking/bar/dining space, three TVs for entertainment, outdoor private beer garden with fire pit, a full bathroom and on-property parking. Pt. Lobos State Reserve and Monastery Beach are both a short walk away! It is a fantastic place!

Unique property, amazing location
We stayed for a full week at this super fun & unique property. Our family of 5 fit perfectly and had an amazing time! The barn itself feels very modern, with a fully-stocked kitchenette, large TV’s, and plenty of comfy seating. The kids played foosball & pool non-stop, ran outside to pet the cows, sat around the fire pit to listen to waves crashing while making s’mores, streamed their favorite show easily on the main TV to watch together… this house facilitates so much family bonding time. It’s also right across from Point Lobos, a short drive into downtown Carmel, and grocery shopping is less than 5 minutes down the road. A wonderful place to stay in a beautiful location - definitely a gem!

Barn in Carmel
Highly recommend this property. Great family and place is new and built with love. The barn is amazing and great place for family with lots of space, fun things to do, great outdoor seating with water views. The kids had a lot of fun and it was only a few minutes drive to downtown Carmel for the adults. Highly highly recommend and will be returning soon.

Wonderful stay!
My family had a lovely couple of days at this spacious, impeccably clean restored barn! The location was perfect...just a short walk to Point Lobos and a short drive to Carmel/shops, 17 mi drive, Mission, Aquarium, etc. I'm not sure what the kids loved more - feeding the two resident Scottish Highland cows or competing in cutthroat rounds of foosball. Rich, the host, was super friendly and helpful with restaurant and other points of interest recommendations. When we realized the Nespresso machine wasn't working, he had it descaled and up and running in no time (while also leaving us a box of sea salt caramels for the inconvenience). All in all, we'd stay here again in a heart beat.

Great property. Specially location which is right in the art of nature. Beautiful natural reserve park right across the street and really nice beach within 10 mins walk. My 6 year old son had so much fun just running around the house in the huge farm style yard. We git a nice weather and the sky was magnificent at nights. Rich, the owner is very nice and always available to help. We appreciate his friendly welcoming at the start.

Location location location and so much more!
Everything about our stay was lovely. Hosts are friendly and accommodating. Location perfect within walking distance to Point Lobos and beach. Driving distance to shops and restaurants and beautiful Big Sur. The barn building is comfortable ( love the heated bathroom floors) fire pit and electric fireplace added to cozy feeling. The views of the coastline and Pebble Beach was lovely. The cows are adorable!!

Perfect location! Very comfortable space.
This was our 29th anniversary and my husband and I had a glorious four days around Carmel, Big Sur and Point Lobos. You can literally walk across the street into the point Lobos park. We highly recommend the flying Fish Café in Carmel, one of our best meals ever. Rich, the host was very interesting and pleasant. Overall, it was just a wonderful trip.

Carmel Stay Extraordinaire!!!!
We were looking for an ocean view property for our special 50th Anniversary stay in Carmel......Well, we found it at The Brown Barn!!!! This is a family fun rental, and also a great stay for a romantic couple. The views are spectacular, ocean to forest, and easy walk to Pt. Lobos and Monastery Beach. We took full advantage of the spacious outdoor seating using the firering each evening. The entire property is immaculate and extremely private for a casual stay. Taylor & Bella, the Hyland cows, are adorable and loved getting a hand full of alfalfa feed. Rich, the Host, gave us a warm welcome tour and has wonderful recommendations for any kind of activities in the area. We instantly felt at home. We highly recommend The Brown Barn for a short or long stay. This is one of the most beautiful and unique, properties we have discovered!!!
