Perfect Escape

My husband and I had the pleasure of finding this little gem in Carmel. Nice location, within walking distance of downtown. The Studio itself is exceptional, Jan and Joe have thought of everything, we enjoyed the bottle of wine they provided, they also provided coffee, juice, fruit and cereal. We were able to decide where to dine and what to do with the local information that they have readily available in the room. They also provide a pass to get into the local parks which is what we were looking for, once Jan realized we wanted to bike and/or hike she thoughtfully provided us with additional options. I wish we had more time to spend in this beautiful studio. They really did think of everything to make your stay more enjoyable. Go and see for yourself, we can't wait to go back.

Even after reading the reviews, we didn't realise just how perfect this home away from home would be. Joe and Jan thought of everything for our comfort and to help us see the sights, eat great food & save money with passes for the best attractions. The studio was spotless & yet still homely, the provisions were exactly what we needed & all the extra touches made us feel so special. If you haven't stayed here, then you don't realise just how wonderful a holiday apartment can be.

Everything you need to have a wonderful week in Carmel is here! Jan and Joe created a perfect studio with everything you need and more. Getting into CA late in the day, the next morning we enjoyed the OJ, milk, cereal and breakfast items they thoughtfully provided. Linens are top notch, the bed was very comfortable, and everything sparkled! We also enjoyed the hummingbirds who frequented their beautifully kept gardens. Too, there is a book of places to see and other recommendations, and J& J are on site if you have any questions or needs. We enjoyed the park passes and took a trip to the Monterey aquarium- courtesy of J & J. There are some other little surprises waiting for you courtesy of wonderful hosts,...thanks for a great week! Wish we could have stayed longer at this wonderful property.

Very quiet, comfortable and clean! Owners Joe and Jan go above and beyond to make this a delightful experience from the flowers, fruit and wine on arrival to the state park and aquarium passes. Even had a book of all their favorite places and restaurants which we found very helpful.

Having just spent eight nights in the Stine's wonderful studio, I am already looking forward to returning! It more than met my expectations! It is a comfortable and cozy spot where I enjoyed settling in with a good book on rainy days and with a location that made all activities, restaurants, etc very convenient when I wanted to venture out. Having access to passes for the State Parks and the Aquarium were a nice bonus as I spent a day hiking in Point Lobos and a day at the Monterey Aquarium. It was so nice to find orange juice, coffee, fruit, etc. upon arrival after a long drive. Joe and Jan were most welcoming and always available to answer questions and share a hug. Having visited Carmel many times in the past with my late husband, it was nice to re-visit favorite restaurants such as Cafe Rustica, Little Napoli, and Mission Ranch for the Sunday Brunch. I highly recommend that you chose this lovely studio for your next visit to Carmel!

This was our first VRBO stay and we had a wonderful time! The location is outstanding. We walked into Carmel several times during our stay. Plus, highway 1 is easily accessible and takes you to all the sights of the area. The room itself is excellent with so many extras that it is hard to remember all of them: the aquarium and state park passes, the breakfast food, wine, DVD/video collection, travel/restaurant recommendations as well as travel books and brochures, extra soft linens, beautiful decor, fresh flowers, and we could go on and on. The hosts are amazing. It is a nice, quiet place to relax. We will recommend Le Petit Chambre to others and will stay there again when we are in the area.

Exceeded Expectations With Style!

Everything exceeded our expectations. While there are only 3 pictures of the property on the web page, the bathroom and patio area are also wonderfully done. From the moment we walked in the cleanliness and design of the space made us feel immediately comfortable. We have been to France several times and really apprecuated the way the suite was decorated. Joe and Jan were very helpful but tremendously respectful of our privacy. Jan is a hostess with a great sense of style and concern for the success of your trip. She gave us many good tips on the area. We have already recommended Le Petit to many of our friends. Things to do? Go to Point Lobos, Big Sur, lunch at Nepenthe, 17 mile drive, walk streets of Carmel and enjoy architecture, eat at Il Fornao counter, Andre's Bouchee, Casanova, drinks on deck at Mission Ranch (while you watch Clint Eastwood's sheep graze)- ok that's all...now you're on your own!

We came to Petit Chambre after our daughters wedding. It was so quaint starting with the wonderful welcome notice by Jan and Joe, meeting them afterwards was a pleasure. They made our stay perfect, including the very thoughtful extras from wine to fruit, nuts and breakfast extras. So thoughtful. This studio shows so much thought by the owners. It is a perfect Hideaway in a wonderful location. The landscaping and private setting is amazing and made this a great place to just relax and read after a busy day sightseeing. Loved watching the hummingbirds and the peaceful atmosphere. We used the state park passes twice, the Monterrey Aquarium once, what a nice idea to have for your guest Jan and Joe, we like to thank you for a memorable stay and we will we back. Would not stay anywhere else when we come back to the Carmel Area. Your suggestion of restaurants was greatly appreciated and all were excellent. We tried 4 of them and loved them all. What we most appreciated was the convenience to all the locations from Carmel by the Sea,( walking distance, sorry to say, we did not do that), next time. Monterrey, Pebble Beach, Carmel Valley. Also enjoyed visiting Chauteau Julienne. All in all it was a wonderful stay , we will not forget. Thank You for the memories, August 16-23, 2010

We stayed here the first week of Sept. 2010. The space is great for two people. It is spectacularly clean. Having gotten in late the night before we appreciated the milk, juice, half/half, coffee, fruit and yogurt that was made available for breakfast the next morning. The location is within walking distance to Carmel by the Sea shopping and dining. We ate at Basil and Dametra. Would definitely recommend Demetra for some fun. It's also a short ride (2 miles) to Point Lobos state park and the passes provided saved $10 per vehicle to each park! The MOnterey Bay Aquarium for which passes were also provided was literally a 10 minute easy drive! We rarely saw Jan and Joe, but when we did they were a delight to talk to and made it clear we could call them anytime for questions except we didn't have any because they had thought of everything already! Other places we enjoyed were Ventana down by Big Sur. A beautiful relaxing place to enjoy lunch where I felt like I could just walk on the clouds on the edge of their patio. Also went to the Sunset Lounge at the Hyatt in the Carmel Highlands. Live music in the evenings- a little dressier place to go, but the pickies we had and the dessert were very good. Didn't enjoy Belardus in Carmel Valley, but had a great time hiking at the Carmel Valley Regional Park (?Galand Park). Lots of people bring their dogs and when it isn't sunny on the coast, it's almost always sunny in Carmel Valley, so although we didn't have the coastline to look at when we were hiking here, the sun shining on us was great. Got ice cream at Earthbound and sat in their garden to eat it. Yum. Overall I don't think anyone could be disappointed staying at this Petit Chambre.

Our stay at this beautiful property was a complete joy! Jan and Joe have made this studio the perfect retreat in every way! The unit is very spacious and inviting. The bed and bath we found to be incredibly comfortable with beautiful linnens and towels.The refigerator was stocked with fresh berries, yogurt, a bottle of wine and beer plus more! Even though it is attached to the home you can enjoy your own private gate entrance and a courtyard area that is just exquisite. We were able to use our computer with the provided connection and there is a nice flatscreen you can enjoy anywhere in the room.We found the scrap book provided very helpful with recommendations for activities and dining. Take the time to take a look. You`ll be glad you did! There are also many other nice touches you will appreciate but too numerous to mention! We are very much looking forward to returning to this lovely spot in beautiful Carmel!
