The Colonial Terrace
-
The Colonial Terrace - view from the back of the property on Carmelo St. The upstairs rooms shown have views from Pebble Beach to the Frank Lloyd Wright house on South Carmel Point.
Carmel Point Suite: Newly remodeled suite featuring an elegant wet bar, oval desk, aristocrat chair w/ ottoman, cozy fireplace, dual vanity, large shower and a 32” LCD HD television.
This top floor suite is the only room at the top of these stairs. Privacy and comfort is what we strive to provide at The Colonial Terrace.
This view is from the balcony that is just outside the french doors show in the photo of the Ocean View Room.
A view of Carmel bay through the old Cypress trees from one of our Ocean View Suites. This view can be taken in while enjoying the relaxing sound of waves crashing, calls of seagulls, and perhaps an afternoon nap....
Some of our Ocean View Suites offer Jacuzzi tubs. Go have an active day outdoors, take in the sunset at the beach, then return to your room and have a nice long soak in your Jacuzzi tub.
The view from the balcony that is outside rooms 7 and 8.
Some of our Courtyard rooms offer partial ocean views! Enjoy your morning paper and breakfast 'al fresco' just outside in the private courtyard.
Our Ocean View Rooms have truly dramatic views. To the right, world famous Pebble Beach Golf Links straddle the coastline; to the left, there are views of Carmel Point and Point Lobos.
Our award winning gardens are naturally filled with the sounds of crashing waves on Carmel Beach.
Start your day with a sumptuous continental breakfast.
Being the closest hotel to Carmel Beach does have its benefits. One short block from this very bench.
Enjoy views of residential Carmel by the Sea, as well as the ocean from the breakfast nook in our Colonial Suite.
Photos cannot do justice to our award-winning gardens.
Take a short 15 minute drive to Point Lobos and chances are good you may see this large mammal in the distance. Humpbacks and Grey Whales are frequently spotted just off the coast.
Old Cypress trees cling to the jagged coastline.
The Monterey Peninsula is truly a gem. Local residents and tourists alike frequent the recreation trail that runs right along this very coastline.
The sun sets over "Ghost Tree". Viewed from Carmel Beach. Ghost tree is home to some of the worlds largest surf.
McWay falls in Big Sur is a wonderful hike. Your camera may not have too many chances to take in images like this, so bring a few extra rolls of film. The Big Sur Coastline is a haven for hikers, with many trails winding through this wonderful natural beauty.
A Carmel Beach sunset.....simply stunning.
BIG SUR. This is an amazing example of what many call the most dramatic meeting of land and sea in North America.
We offer gorgeous ocean views from all over the property.
Our Ocean View Suites offer a Four poster king bed, fireplace, and a spectacular view of the ocean.
Our Courtyard room with a King or Queen bed, fireplace and views of our award winning gardens. Some of our Courtyard rooms even include a private patio.

1.6 out of 5Not pleased with this room and the amenities.
July 31, 2012
This room was booked with a "view of the beach". If you stood on one foot, and looked really hard you could see the ocean. The room was tiny. No place to really put your personal things but it did have a rickety old luggage rack. None of the furniture matched and it looked like it was furnished in the 70's with only 1 small chair at the end of the bed. The bathroom was 2 small rooms, one with the sink and then you had to go out and around to the other room to take a shower. For the price I expected a lot more than what we got. I would not stay there again.

Very pleased with our recent stay. This was a last minute trip with a focus on efficiency and budget. Therefore we did not see the more expensive rooms but opted for a basic room only. The accommodations where absolutely sufficient and given more advance notice, we will likely return and pick the rooms with a view of the ocean. Breakfast was basic but sufficient, service was excellent (in our case it was simply room cleaning), the place was clean, well kept and very quaint. I would recommend to others looking for a B&B in the Carmel area, especially if you want to be near the water (1 block away).

Came to the Colonial Terrace for a brief 2 day getaway and found a great place to stay. It is an older place with large rooms and sparse functional furnishings. The breakfast exceeded what I expected, the front desk was very helpful, and they even let me know of something I left behind and sent it to me via UPS. A very nice stay, very relaxing.

My wife and I spent two nights here for our anniversary, the location is great if you want to be close to the ocean, but away from all the traffic of the downtown area. The rooms were small, as expected, but the bed was the worst! We both woke up in so much pain both mornings, it was a strange combination of rock hard, but the left side drooped badly. The service was great at both check-in and check-out and the property is beautiful. Breakfast was basically a continental breakfast, but served nicely in a very relaxing room.

We like the place but we needed better directions on how to find it. The streets are very poorly mark and hard to see.

Our stay in Carmel was wonderful and the accomodations at The Colonial Terrace was part of the great experience. The staff was helpful, it was quiet, and the grounds were beautiful. Loved the fireplace in the room - perfect for a cool evening in Carmel.
2.6 out of 5Not Quite What We Expected...
January 29, 2010
We booked a room here for a Saturday night. Our room was #1 (booked as "Courtyard Queen"), which has a partial ocean view and semi-private patio area. It sounds much nicer than it actually is. The room was sparse and cramped. The bathroom was split with the toilet and shower in one room and the vanity/ sink area around the corner from the bathroom. We found this to be very annoying when trying to get ready to go out for the night and the next morning. The bed was lumpy, but the pillows were nice and fluffy. The fire place was nice for warmth, but not much ambiance with a gas fireplace. Also it was on a 30 minute timer which got to be a bit annoying. While we did enjoy the view from our window and the sound of the waves (when the window was open during the day), at night the only thing we heard was our neighbors. The walls are so thin that we heard the people upstairs as well as next door very well. We could hear so well in fact that we could tell what the people next door were watching on tv. We tried to sleep with our tv on to drown out the noise of the neighbors, but were frustrated because we didn't book a sea-side room just to listen to the noise of a tv all night. We could have had that at home. The staff was very nice and also helpful in local knowledge such as dinner recommendations. (BTW, the town is very dark at night, so if you plan on going anywhere make sure you have very good directions or GPS.) We enjoyed our breakfast, though it wasn't much. All in all, the place is nice but we had the feeling that they put more of their recent renovation work into the lobby and gardens instead of the rooms. It looks much different on their website than it does in person (Maybe some extra soft lighting for the photos?). We will definitely return to the town, but not this disappointing B&B.
