Guest House in Sunny Carmel Valley.

In Carmel Valley, just east of the famous Bernardus Spa and vineyard, this luxurious, fully equipped guest house is an ideal choice for a romantic getaway or a longer stay for one of the of the Monterey Peninsula's great events. Privacy, beautiful gardens and wine country atmosphere all conspire to make this getaway a place to recharge and relax.


Property Characteristics
The guest house is located about three minutes from Carmel Valley Village, 10 minutes from Laguna Seca Race Track and 15 minutes from Carmel-by-the-Sea. It is a separate structure with bedroom, bathroom, living room and kitchen/dining area. Fully equipped, the apartment features a heated floor in the marble-tiled bathroom and walk-in shower, king size bed, robes and slippers, dimmable lights throughout and an entertainment center and Wi-Fi connection via cable. Both Netflix and Amazon channels are included. A private stone deck is right outside your door and a sun deck. A swimming pool (Not heated) is also on the property. Climbing roses, lavender field, wisteria and many other flowers adorn the property. A Bocce court with balls for both bocce and pentaquin (boules) completes the property’s amenities.

Wine tasting and Restaurants
The Monterey Peninsula is known for a very wide selection of good to very good restaurants and dozens of tasting rooms featuring wines and olive oils made locally and in nearby wine growing regions of California. There are about 20 tasting rooms just up the road in Carmel Valley Village and more in downtown Carmel. There are also several notable restaurants nearby.

Sport Activities
The signature sport of the Monterey Peninsula is golf. Some 16 golf courses await, among them the famous courses of Pebble Beach including Pebble Beach, Spyglass Hill, Poppy Hills and Spanish Bay, all accessible to the public. Many other challenging and scenic courses are also available – Black Horse and Bayonet, Quail Lodge, Del Monte, Laguna Seca, Carmel Valley Ranch, Pasadera and Corral De Tierra are all within about a 20 minute drive from the guest house.
Other sport activities are available throughout the peninsula. There are several scenic hiking trails within a short distance. The entrance to Garland Ranch, with miles of scenic trails, is just one mile from the guest house. Bicycling is everywhere on all the local roads. Whale watching, scuba diving and kayaking on Monterey Bay are popular aquatic activities and the Monterey Bay Aquarium is a must-see attraction.

Shopping
Carmel-by-the-Sea is shopping central, specializing in art from both local and international artists, with clothing stores, many specialty stores and dozens of restaurants. Del Monte Center in Monterey features a number of national brand stores as well as a multiplex theater and several restaurants. The Barnyard and Crossroads shopping areas, both at the mouth of the valley, are about 10-15 minutes from the guest house.

Special Events
As a vacation destination, Monterey is also host to a large number of special events every year. The annual AT&T golf tournament always attracts top players and the US Open is played periodically at the Pebble Beach venues. The Monterey Jazz Festival, the motorcycle Gathering at Quail Lodge and several other festivals take place throughout the year. The Big Sur Marathon attracts some of the best runners in the world. Possibly the best known event is the Pebble Beach Concourse D ’Elegance and auction. Through the years so many other car events have been added at venues around the Peninsula that locals now speak of “car week,” which features some six or seven important auctions, specialized single-make car shows and the Historic Races at Laguna Seca featuring the beautiful race cars of the post-war era.

We loved this property. The inside is spacious for 2 people and well appointed, with very comfortable beds, nice linens, heated marble floors in the bathroom and a decently equipped kitchen. The outside area includes a huge deck, a lovely garden with roses and lavender, a clean modern hot tub and view of the Santa Lucia mountains. Jae and Bob were friendly and helpful (allowing us to recharge our PHEV) but not at all intrusive. We hope to return another time.

Beautiful!
We had a wonderful stay and beautiful experience at this property. The guest house is very well appointed, spotlessly clean with a beautiful zen garden patio. Everything was top notch! Communication was excellent, proactive and responsive. We appreciated Jae and Bob allowing us to check in prior to standard check in time. They are the most friendly and gracious hosts. We truly hope to plan another stay in the future.

Lovely well appointed guest house
We had a wonderful stay in this lovely well appointed and equipped guest house in Carmel Valley. It was peaceful and quiet with all of the comforts of home. It was nice being away from the tourist hordes of Carmel, but within convenient driving distance from Carmel and Big Sur. The bedroom, bathroom and kitchen were luxurious and the smart TV and WiFi worked perfectly (after we figured out how to use them). Thanks, Jae and Bob!

Beautiful Carmel Valley Cottage
This was a perfectly located place for us since we had a wedding to attend at Bernardus. This is right next door. Cottage is set up nicely and you will want for nothing. Kitchen is well stocked. Bathroom is luxurious and shower is amazing. Bed is ultra comfy. The grounds are gorgeous. Hubby took several naps in the hammock and enjoyed the outdoor spa. Jae, the owner is attentive and responded quickly to my emails when booking. She checked in with us to make sure our stay was going well and let me borrow a tool I needed to fix an earring. I really appreciated that. Great place!!!

Modern accommodations with a few minor problems
Modern accommodations attached to owner garage port with large bathroom (tub and multiple jet shower), bedroom with king bed, basic kitchen (2 burner convection stove top, wet bar style sink with low water pressure), and entrance/living area with TV . Convenient location within a 15-20 minute drive to Carmel by the Sea and Monterey. Closest grocery store is a 10 min drive away. Property backs up to busy Carmel Valley Rd, so expect noise from car traffic, especially during rush hour. Outside facilities (patio, pool, tables, chairs) were not maintained during entire 3 day stay: covered with dust and leaves during entire stay, as well as swarming ants on lower stone patio area. Owner/unit manager Jae was out of town, and husband Bob offered repeated apologies to inconveniences, but nothing more. No air conditioning (as advertised): place was stuffy and 78F at 10pm on day of arrival due to warm weather (high was 81F), and cooled down to 73F by morning. A portable fan would have been an easy solution, but never offered. Be prepared to sleep with all windows open during warmer weather, including bedroom window facing busy street traffic noise. Open wireless internet is very flaky due to the use of a wireless repeater vs direct wired router in room. Overall a decent place, but I would not recommend unless you are willing to put up with the minor issues.

Great location for Carmel Valley
The property is lovely. The apartment layout is a bit odd, though, as the bathroom is between the living room and the bedroom, so when someone is in the bathroom the second person is "trapped" in one of the other rooms.

Great Communication and Helpful Host
great property, amenities listed just as they are. loved the heated floors in the bathroom. Water for the tub in restroom was too slow to fill, but the hot tub made up for it. Great shower that, as my partner puts it, felt like a nice warm hugging blanket. Host were extremely gracious and handled several special requests to make our weekend even more memorable. super appreciative of their communication and efforts.
