Carmel family trip

The house is great for a family. Kids loved the loft bedrooms. Views are spectacular. Great house in an excellent location. It is in carmel between big sur and monterey. 10 min from carmel by sea and pebble beach/17 mile. Point lobos very close. Hosts were responsive. Highly recommend

Peaceful and Comfortable

The view will settle all worries. Check in was smooth with GREAT communication! Comfy beds and bedding, towels and bathrooms well done, Kitchen and coffee bar awesome! Bring a fly swatter as bugs fly into the house as you try to cool it down by opening things up. Bring slippers and honor this No Shoe home! We loved it here and plan to return! PS The loft areas are bigger than we imagined. There are regular stairs up to them and they are roomy....just short ceilings. Home host/owner is very nice and accommodating and seemed honestly interested in making sure our stay went well.

Beautiful views, attentive hosts.

We enjoyed two fabulous days and nights at Peace Cove. The host, Karen, went out of her way to be welcoming, communicative and responsive. The views from the house are as advertised, which is to say mesmerizing. The house was clean and well stocked. Great outdoor spaces. There are two lofts in addition to the two downstairs bedrooms. The lofts have low ceilings and are suitable for younger more mobile guests. They would not be appropriate for most elderly people. The three full bathrooms are all on the main level. The house is adjacent to the Highland Inn which has a full restaurant and is a short walk away. The decor is eclectic and there are two large living rooms.

Excellent stay - exceeded expectations

We rented this property for a golf trip and couldn’t have been happier. The views are amazing and the access to the Hyatt is perfect. The property itself is immaculate and unique. I would highly recommend this place and would stay here again.

Why they chose this property

Having grown up on the French Riviera, and the California Coast, we both have a deep love for the ocean and nature. On a short vacation & exploration, while driving past Carmel on the way to Big Sur, we both fell in love with the Carmel Highlands. It was our dream place - plain & simple. Somehow the magic of this area - it is magical you will see - is healing and simply deeply moving. The coast just south of Carmel is pristine and for us, the most beautiful place on earth! When we found Peace Cove, we could see that the house was in need of work, however we loved the site, its orientation, and with the background sound of waves and distant seals barking, we imagined the stone path and secret garden we would create. Hummingbirds came close and hovered near us, the Monarchs flew around us, the giant squirrel that lived in the canyon visited, the crows observed us from the giant pine tree & oak. We felt we had a welcoming party! For us, there is something deeply healing about the area in general and this place in particular. You can be still, you can think more clearly, you can feel deeply, and you can leave feeling filled with light and pure energy..
