The Residence

Architecture as Atmosphere

Carmel Reflections is a fully reimagined modern residence perched above the village — dramatic black steel and cedar construction, floor-to-ceiling glass walls, and exposed-beam cathedral ceilings that dissolve the boundary between inside and out.

The property includes the main house and a private detached guest cottage. Porcelain tile bathrooms, a professional KitchenAid kitchen suite, museum-quality original art, patio fire terrace, and a private hot tub courtyard complete the picture.

"Accommodations were on par with a 5 star hotel. The house was designed by a local architect who also designed some of the commercial structures downtown. The size and layout of the property easily accommodated 6 adults, 1 toddler & 2 wiener dogs. The house is stocked with everything you need to make Thanksgiving dinner. Better yet go to one of the dozens of restaurants that are within a mile of downtown Carmel. We live in the desert and enjoyed standing outside in a cloud at night and having moisture (not sweat) kiss you all over. Also enjoyed walking the dogs for a couple of miles each day thru fairytale neighborhoods. Where else in the world can you be walking your dogs to have an old Mercedes sedan stop to let you cross the street only to find the person you're waving back to is the former mayor, Clint Eastwood? That was fun but the best part was the temperature during our July stay never was above 70 degrees."

"We had a wonderful month-long vacation in Carmel, largely thanks to our amazing accommodations at Reflections! It's a beautiful modern home, well-appointed and perfectly located. We particularly enjoyed the live in/live out feel with both a courtyard and outdoor space. The owners were gracious and very responsive. All-in-all, I can't think of a better place to stay in Carmel!"

"This property is perfectly situated at Carmel Point within walking distance to beaches and town, short drive to shopping, best golf, and all of nature's beautiful hikes along the shorelines from Carmel to Big Sur to Pebble Beach. The home was comfortable, very well equipped, gave privacy to everyone with the guest house and lovely outside terraces. Perfect for families and enjoying Carmel. A wonderful place to gather. Lizzie and Michael were there to answer every question and were extremely responsive."
