About this property

Stunning 5 Acre Carmel Retreat, 2 Hot Tubs, Amazing Location!

Our spacious five-bed, five-bath ranch-style home is located on five acres in the estate area of Carmel, commonly known as Jacks Peak. Although secluded and quiet, it is conveniently located between Carmel and Monterey. You will be just minutes from anywhere on the entire Monterey Peninsula, yet surrounded by majestic oak and pine trees, with a sprawling yard in which to play.

All five bedrooms have queen beds, and each bedroom has its own bathroom with a shower. The house sleeps 10 comfortably. There is ample floor space, and we have a couple of airbeds and mats to accommodate more, especially children, if needed.

Amenities include a cozy hot tub for two on a large deck off the master bedroom, with a custom-built in-ground hot tub for larger groups just a few steps away. Croquet, basketball, badminton, volleyball, bocce ball, and Frisbee equipment are all located on-site, and there is plenty of room to play. There is a large front lawn that turns green when it rains. There is also a large brick patio with tables, chairs, and a fireplace for winter use.

Both the large living room and master bedroom have fireplaces. The living room has a vintage piano, two sofas, two club chairs, a corner TV, and a stereo. The French doors in the living room open onto a welcoming, bright, brick-floor enclosed Lanai with skylights.

The dining room has a table that seats eight but will easily seat 10. French doors lead to a large backyard deck with a table for six. There is a gas grill and two propane heaters.

Off the dining room is a modest, fully stocked kitchen with a large work island and windows to the wooded backyard. There is also a kitchen nook (host to many beautiful sunrises), with a small dining table, bench, and four chairs.

We had a great stay! The space was spacious, peaceful, and secluded. We loved seeing birds and deer outside the windows. The hot tub was relaxing, and it was nice to have toys on hand for our 2-year-old, plus a piano to play. Communication with the host was good throughout. Her brother, who stopped by to assist us with something, was very kind and helpful. The location was convenient — about 15 minutes drive to anywhere in Monterey or Carmel. A peaceful, well-located retreat overall. Thank you for hosting us, Susan!

Our family of 10 had an incredible time. A beautiful home that easily slept all of us. We enjoyed the hot tubs everyday and enjoyed the wildlife so much. The fruit trees and flowers were beautiful. We had several meals out on the back deck and enjoyed incredible weather. Centrally located to both Carmel and Monterrey. We will be back and will tell our friends for sure. Thank you host Susan.

The house was phenomenal! So beautiful, warm, and welcoming. It had so much charm and uniqueness, close enough to everything in Monterey and Carmel, but secluded so you feel like you are in a retreat in the mountains. Deer in the yard in the morning while you are having coffee on the deck or hummingbirds flying around as you have a glass of wine in the evening. Amazing place and highly recommend!

Fabulous Family Get-away

We loved this beautifully appointed home that is super well stocked with everything you need. The 5 rooms all with baths was perfect for extended family of mostly adults. We loved the scenic and peaceful "resort" like setting and the two hottubs had space for everyone. Close to Carmel and Monterey but not in the fray of the touristy parking mess made this the perfect place to stay.

Wow, this home was ment to hold us over until our regular Jazz Festival house was available, but we all fell in love! From the large in ground hot tub, to the most well stock home we have ever stayed in, to the timely responses to our every question or request, to the numerous places that seven of us could gather, dine or just enjoy the serenity of the home and grounds, it surpassed every expectation! We are booking our return stay.
