About this property

Carmel Valley Peaceful & Serene Retreat with Pool & Hot Tub

This serenely comfortable home and tranquil setting will melt your cares away. Soak in the hot tub, enjoy the gardens, swim in the pool, or read a book by the fireplace. This is a classic Monterey Post/Adobe style house that has been fully remodeled and exquisitely furnished. There are many inviting outdoor nooks to discover here. Walk to Carmel Valley Village and taste wine at one of the many tasting rooms or dine at a choice of international restaurants.

Perfect for families, personal, group, and executive retreats, or small quiet seminars and workshops.

In this park-like setting, you can hear the sounds of birds and the gentle breeze rippling through the pine trees, see an occasional hawk circling over the property, or revel in watching the pool reflections on the living room ceiling. The back terrace, accessible through French doors from the dining room area, has a table with umbrella and chairs surrounded by a raised terraced garden. Each of the five bedrooms has night tables with reading lamps and pretty bedspreads.

Fully-equipped and very roomy kitchen. Gas cook top, single gas oven, water filter, microwave, full set of utensils and cooking accessories, coffee maker, toaster oven, phone, breakfast nook (not in picture) with pool view, and skylight.

Natural, pond-like full-size swimming pool with solar heat. Pool is swim-able from approximately May through most of October. Hot tub behind bamboo provides serene privacy. Surrounded by pine, maple, willow, and fruit trees full of birds, an occasional deer, and other wildlife.

Cozy living room with fireplace, Tibetan rug, oriental cabinet, book collection, view of pool and garden, writing desk, TV, VCR, cable, CD, tape, and radio.

Stunning grounds, cozy home, delightful stay
The photos dont do it justice, the pool, hot tub and garden are stunning! We had a very peaceful stay, the home is cozy and family-like with a custom feeling home. Not a single piece of IKEA furniture to be found as is typical in rental homes! The home feels like an inviting retreat. We loved our stay and would come back

Peaceful, Private and Pretty Property
My adult family of 8 enjoyed staying here for 4 nights over Thanksgiving. There was plenty of room for everyone to find places to relax comfortably and take in the peaceful surroundings, as well as places to all gather together. The driveway and garage provided ample space for our 5 cars. Everything inside is well labeled and instructions for use are easy to understand. The owners were quick to respond to questions we had before booking and even checked in via text after we arrived. Communication was great, and they were very accommodating with a couple of specific requests prior to arrival. This comfortable home is on a beautiful, quiet and peaceful property. It has many windows overlooking the outdoor gardens. We only wish we could have spent more time on the outdoor patios soaking it all in, but our group was often out and about enjoying the area’s many walking, running and hiking trails and area activities. One couple did enjoy the hot tub. It was nice to find a level one story home which my 89 year old mother could easily navigate. The 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms gave us the perfect space for our family. The separate guest house would be perfect for a young family. It has 2 bedrooms with separate outside entrances, and the interior door can be opened to join the rooms. Although the single bathroom in the guest house is accessed only through the queen bedroom, we made it work. We highly recommend this home and will keep it on our “favorites” list for future visits!

Truly a RETREAT!
Listing was just as described and perfectly laid out for two families traveling together (one in main house and one in guest cottage). Kitchen was well-equipped. House was spotless. Yard was private and pool & hot tub were lovely and well-enjoyed by our family. Location close to Carmel Valley Village was lovely! Great spot -- would definitely stay agin!

About the host

Hosted by Chuck Stein

Host profile image
We lived in this wonderful home from 1976 until 1986. During that time we fully remodeled this wonderful classic Carmel Valley post adobe home. In 1999 we completely furnished the home and set it up as a vacation rental so we could spend time there ourselves as well as let others enjoy the peace and tranquility it offers. It is our art piece and escape. Everyone who has stayed there loves it and we now have many yearly returning families and groups.

Why they chose this property

Carmel Valley Retreat was the home we lived in for over 10 years.

What makes this property unique

Carmel Valley offers some of the best weather in the world. Over 300 sunny days a year and almost none of the fog that covers Carmel and Monterey all summer long.
