  Jack and Karen Fontaine ,
  • This was a special trip for us---my 75th. Playing Pebble Beach for the first time was great, but equally great was our own Country French Studio. Jan did not miss any opportunity to make us feel welcome and totally at home. The personal touches like a stocked refrigerator, two kinds of coffee, fruit and a bottle of wine were unexpected and were a very pleasant surprise. We have used VRBO on many occasions---this was the best.

  • My wife and I just went for our 2nd Anniversary and it was PERFECT. It was exactly how I had planned it (since it was all a surprise to my wife), and I can't wait to get back. Jan and Joe were above and beyond accommodating, and the Studio was perfectly furnished, comfortable, quaint, romantic, secluded, quiet. It felt like we were in a French Cottage away from all civilization, yet 1 minute away from Carmel Village. Can't go wrong with this choice, and I know we will be back as soon as possible! Thanks for our best vacation we have taken!

  • We visited in January 2009. There is really not much to add to all the other fabulous comments! They are not only true but moreso!! Everywhere are tiny and incredibly thoughtful touches. Having lived in the area for 20 years, we can say that this is truly a treasure and a bargain too! You cannot be disappointed!

  • I was completely charmed by La Petite Chambre and the Carmel region. I arrived after a long early-morning (read: still dark)drive from Yosemite, and Jan presented me with fruit, wine, yogurt, directions to the nearest grocery store, the address of the town's finest restaurant, and an offer of the use of her laundry facilities (I had been traveling for 12 days and rinsing out things in the sink). The availability of a park pass and Monterey acquarium passes were a bonus, as there are many state parks in the area, each charging $10 admission. Another fine feature was the ring of hedges and fences that maintained the unit's serenity. I'd a perfect spot for one or two people who's like to save money eating breakfast in, planning to picnic for lunch or dinner and splurge on the alternate meals. And do peruse the reading material, particularly the books about Paris!

  • We cannot image a more attentive or caring pair of hosts. Extras like the aquarium tickets and state park parking made us feel appreciated. The place was immaculate when we arrived There were notes of ways to make our stay safe and memorable and we were welcomed with smiles and the bottle of wine. We know where we will be staying on our next trip to Carmel. Thank you Jan and Joe.

  • I just spent 3 nights in "Le Petite Chambre," and would recommend it to anyone considering a visit to the Monterey Peninsula. Its location off Highway 1 made it convenient to visit the Carmel Mission, Pt. Lobos, the Monterey Aquarium, 17 Mile Drive, and the Carmel Valley. It is also walking distance to the shops and restaurants in Carmel-by-the-Sea. The studio is every bit as charming and welcoming as described, as are the host and hostess. I hope to return again and really can't say too many positive things about the experience of staying there!

  • Le Petite Chambre is perfectly described by the owners on this web site. This was our first visit to the Carmel area, and we could not imagine a more perfect place to stay. Every attention to detail is taken care of. Once we walked through our private gate we knew we made the right choice.

  • Remo & I were just so pleased as soon as we pulled into the driveway of your home. We could tell right away we made a good choice and with each step, we were delighted . . . a personal note welcoming us at the gate, a very lovely and well-tended garden, an immaculate large room with chilled bottle waiting for us. The personal touches are too numerous to mention here, but we absolutely did not want for a thing! Le Petite Chambre, along with your suggestion book, made our get-away more than we expected and we thank you very much for sharing and making it so special!

  • We have just returned from our 3rd annual visit to this lovely lodging. It is indeed a place for respite and relaxation – quiet in its environment and in its décor, filled with surprising details that make us feel like pampered guests. Chilled wine with delicate wine glasses to greet us, along with salted nuts all wrapped in a plastic bag with a grosgrain ribbon tie, tucked within a silver seashell. One smiles on each little discovery. The host and hostess have imagined every detail, and even offer a membership card to the Monterey Bay Aquarium which guests can use for free member access. All this set in a sunny garden with bright flowers at any season. A gem in all respects. Ann and Joe - Berkeley

  • You never know what you're going to get when you book a place on line for a vacation stay. By reserving Le Petite Chambre we got memories to last a life time. We felt like we were staying in the French country side. We were so relaxed either inside the tastefully decorated room or sitting in the garden enjoying a glass of wine. The very clean kitchenette was well stocked for breakfast. The room is bigger then it looks on line. It was so easy to sleep in the comfy bed, and it was so quiet! The location was ideal as was the price. We stayed in CA for 17 days, this was the BEST placed we stayed at. We'll definitely will return. From the wonderful hosts, to seeing CLINT,and all the little things it added up to a wonderful visit.
