“Decent Size. Definitely Woman Heavy on selection. Not much for guys. Decent active wear and collared shirts selection. Definitely has seating for men who are bored(women's shoes and back center). Honestly could be better with more stuff for men to look at... Such Slim Pickings... Like We want random things like golf balls, beard care and workout type ish”
“This store is Wonderful ! Organic Earth friendly Products! Bring your own bottle option for soaps and detergents :) Bento boxes, Produce bags, Organic toddler clothing, Organic bedding supplies and much more ! Eco-Friendly Store in Carmel by the Sea :) Thank you”
“This store is a must-visit! The authenticity of the all products is immediately apparent and there is SO much to look at. We had planned to visit a whole bunch of shops along the row but once we stepped in here we couldnt leave! Alfredo and his staff maintain a wonderful disposition and were so incredibly accomodating. We found some pieces we liked but inquired about alternative colors at which point they ran to the additional storage area and returned with a range of additional colors where we found just what we were looking for. Highly recommend!”
“What a gem of a store! The owner is delightfully brimming with personality and her curation of the store makes for a cozy yet modern experience. Fantastic ring spun cotton t-shirts with marine animal themes. One-of-a-kind antiques. My new go-to 🩷”
“I love this place. Since discovering them on a trip to Carmel I've been ordering their dusted cashews regularly, they're so unique and delicious. I also love their small bone China spoons and the Marble Salt Cellars. Great quality products, place and management.”
“We stumbled upon this magical shop and what made it so special were Monica’s ideas about what went with our purchases, so we could curate a whole look, and her ideas for new hot spots in the Plaza to try! Thank you, Monica! It’s clear you love what you do and we thoroughly enjoyed shopping at Beachwood Home with you! We’ll be back!”
“A fun store with affordable original art owned by great people (who sometimes have a great dog at the store!). Even sent our purchases home for us so we didn't have to try to pack them - so sweet! You should definitely stop here if you find yourself in Pacific Grove.”
“Bana is so easy to work with and has helped me with my specific furniture needs more than once. Bana offers furniture in a range of styles and prices that assure you will find something that will work for your home. Super grateful to have her in the area!”

“Ami is one of those boutiques you wander into “just to look” and end up leaving with treasures (guilty). The shop is full of beautiful pieces, from thoughtful gifts to curated items by local artisans. I snagged two things from Good hYOUman. Love a brand with a story behind it. The whole space feels intentional and welcoming, and if you’re lucky, there’s coffee and a chocolate chip cookie waiting for you. Don’t skip the little garden out back—it’s a quiet gem.”
“Cute family run place to not only find handmade, unique gifts but there's also a business center inside. Say hi to the store mascot, an adorable pup named Gus. The owners, Jeffrey and Randy are fun to talk too and are very knowledgeable about the village.”
“My mother and I were in monterey last week. We visited Z Folio Gallery. They have amazing and unique pieces of jewelry and statue art. The employees were great. Very attentive and wonderful to talk to. Very welcoming environment. My mother bought a beautiful bracelet and glass bird. It is one of our favorite places to visit in monterey. We're definitely coming back in the future.”
“A Must-Visit Gem in Carmel: The Curious Home Furnishings Spot You Can’t Miss
If you’re wandering the charming streets of Carmel-by-the-Sea and looking for something truly memorable beyond the beaches and fairy-tale cottages, make sure you don’t miss this hidden treasure of a home furnishings store. It’s easily the most curious place in town — a delightful blend of whimsy, artistry, and practicality that perfectly captures Carmel’s creative spirit.
From the moment you step inside, you’ll see why there is something here for everyone. Whether you’re a minimalist seeking sleek modern pieces, a bohemian soul hunting for eclectic accents, or a traditionalist wanting warm, inviting furniture, the selection feels endless and thoughtfully curated. What makes it stand out is how unique everything is. You won’t find mass-produced items here; each piece has character, often with handcrafted details, unexpected designs, and that special Carmel magic that turns a house into a home.
The good pricing is another pleasant surprise — quality this distinctive doesn’t usually come at such approachable rates. We were impressed by the value across the board, from smaller decorative items to larger statement furniture. The owners Arnie and Heather are genuinely engaging, warm, and full of infectious enthusiasm — their personal stories behind many of the pieces and insightful advice made our visits feel like chatting with old friends who happen to have impeccable taste. Their expertise turned simple browse into a fun, inspiring, and memorable experiences.
Carmel is packed with wonderful surprises, but this curious furnishings haven run by Arnie and Heather is one place tourists should not miss. It’s more than shopping; it’s a delightful discovery that leaves you with plenty to look forward to on future visits.

“Great quality. I’ve had my thick corduroy jeans for a while still look like new as well and my checkered sweater and flowy flowery long sleeve. I haven’t been there in a while, but from what I remember, it was great service! Super friendly and nice and attentive.”
“I stopped in for the first time yesterday after passing it by several times. Between the Aquarium and in the same building as Intercontinental, it looks like the average tourist-y type shop and the shops inside the Intercontinental building are usually pricey. Yes, they do have the pricey pieces of art ($1400 statues), but they also have really cute hats for kids and women. I tried a few on and decided to come back soon....They have sun hats, newsboy hats with fake fur, vintage style cloche hats (vintage style, but new), and I'm sure I"m forgetting to name some. Also cute jewelry, household decor. I liked the yoga frogs and colorful glass jellyfish. They had handpainted Christmas ornaments that would be great for a White elephant or other holiday party. I'm in a wheelchair and couldn't reach some of the hats I wanted to try on so I'm coming back with someone. Didn't ask the guy behind the counter for help cause it felt awkward....shouldn't he have asked? I was the only one in the store. He did say hi, so I'd say I should have told him I couldn't reach something........ Good for shopping for yourself or gifts. Not tourist-y, and not pricey.”

“Wanted to say a HUGE thank you to Ashley - store manager at Seaside California branch of Cost Plus. Helpful, thorough, friendly and great knowledge of products as well as all technology involved with Cost Plus app and ordering. All done with kindness and excellent customer service. Thank you !!!”
“We had a great experience from the moment we entered the store, we knew we wanted a specific bed, but didn't know all the details and got to learn our initial sleep number how the system worked, and all about the bed we were looking to get. Tim got us hooked up and got all the necessary supplies. We got a great quote for the bed the next day when we were able to purchase the bed, and when I called Tim, told us that the price had already gone down due to a sale starting. The purchase by phone process was easy and secure.”
“I purchased linen for a bed runner at Callico and the lovely lady agreed to perfect it with a large oversized gorgeous Monogram. I have respected her for years. She did want me to put a traditional woman’s monogram but I chose to include my husbands first name initial because it is on our master bed bedding.”
“This store is amazing has so many treasures its hard to not buy
Such great things and prices are good
Always visit when in town and always find something to take back home to Colorado”
“Jay Gaynor installed our gas fireplace 10 years ago. We are so happy with the look and function of the fireplace. Jay is a conscientious worker. He takes great pride in his fireplace inserts and is fastidious with the installation. We never had any need to call back for any adjustments, but felt comfort in knowing that our needs would have instantly been addressed. Jay is hardworking and knows all the options to the many styles and functions of the fireplace inserts. He is the man to call!”

“One of many souvenir shops on the wharf. They have the typical tee shirts, hats, hoodies, magnets, shot glasses, plush toys, stickers and much more. Their prices were good and the staff were friendly and not hovering over us.”
“I am a designer and I worked with Kathryn Harrison, designer extraordinaire at the Monterey Store. She was absolutely stellar! She is professional, talented, patient, kind, easy, full of different creative solutions for projects and very important to the work that needs to be done by a great designer for Pottery Barn clients. I was so impressed by her work and personality. I will recommend her enthusiastically and without reservation to my network of friends, colleagues and the greater online community. Thank you, Kathryn!”
