Villa Carmel Highlands
- Minimum stay:2-7 nights
- Internet:Yes
- Pets allowed:No
- Wheel chair accessible:No
This is a true villa on a 1 acre estate between Hwy 1 and the ocean. Many wonderful ocean views from the front yard. Pt. Lobos State Reserve is very near for miles of hikes. The kids will explore forever.
The villa was built in 1953 and reconstructed in 2005. The reconstruction updated and remodeled the villa to bring back the feeling of old California such as the 200 year Mexican arches and the hand carved bedroom doors from the days of Junipero Serra. The villa is the beginning of Big Sur. Accross the street is a cabin that Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell used to stay at in the 60's. Come experience the magic of Carmel Highlands.
Perfect for family reunions and birthdays with it's five bedrooms and 9 beds. There is a formal dining room for your family or an outside deck off the dining room with a custom table for 20. Wander the grounds and gardens of the level one acre estate and play volleyball on the back lawn if you like. Photo opportunities abound under the stone arches or the deck with the ocean and rock caves in the background just a few hundred feet away, don't settle for a distant look at a patch of blue, at the Villa you look into the white water waves going in and out of the ocean caves at Bird Rock. Hear the sea lions bark, smell the ocean air, see the waves crash, wander the many gardens with the Pacific in your backyard.The weather by the sea can best be described as two seasons of Spring and two seasons of Fall.
The Villa has wireless internet service---bring your computer!
Five bedrooms,four full baths, accommodates up to 18.
Lots of parking for all your vehicles within the large iron gates.
Three kings-two queens-two singles-two sofa beds.
Weddings on a fee basis.
Stays include (2) passes to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and daily passes into Pebble Beach and the 17 Mile Drive. Guests will also have use of a keyed, gorgeous, private beach.
Two minutes to the Hyatt and the 5 star Pacific Edge Restaurant. Clint's place is just around the corner (you can see him there, if your timing is right). For convenience there is the Carmel Highlands General Store within walking distance. Enjoy the wood burning fireplaces in the living room and master bedroom. Unlike any vacation you will have ever taken. You will not want to leave. Pictures do not do the Villa justice.

Thank you for a beautiful weekend spent relaxing with friends and playing on the beach. This is our second year in a row we've done our retreat here and it was absolutely perfect again. We especially appreciated the fireplace for intimate conversation. Every aspect of this home is unique and well thought out. We feel at home here. God bless.Did you find this review helpful?

Our family gathered in this wonderful home for mom's 70th birthday. Family came from as far as Ontario, Canada , Denver and various locations around California. The space could not have been more perfect for the 15 of us. Wonderful memories of volleyball in the gorgeous yard, sitting and talking around the gardens and relaxing in the hot tub. The kids had such a great time. A memorable time had by all in this home.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

Happy New Year! Thank you for allowing us to enjoy the celebration in your beautiful home... as well as family time celebrating our son's marriage on 12/31... so convenient since the wedding was at the Hyatt Highlands, a short distance from the house. Your beautiful yard and gardens, the hot tub, the free passes to the Aquarium, Pt. Lobos, the spectacular views all contributed to a wonderful experience for our family. Even the weather was wonderful. Thank you !!! The Whitman, Allen, Sousa, Frankel FamilyDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0
