About this property

Carmel Valley View Studios

Set among the hills in a very quiet neighborhood in beautiful Carmel Valley, is our very private and separate cottage WITH A QUEEN BED. Just over 500 sq. ft. with 2 private outdoor decks overlooking the hills of the valley, our cottage is only 1 1/4 miles to Carmel Valley Village's center which is bursting with an impressive array of quality restaurants, wine tasting rooms, art galleries and beautiful boutique shops.

A 20-minute drive down a lovely country road brings you to Carmel-by- the- Sea, considered to be one of the most lovely villages and beaches in the entire world. Just a bit further is Monterey Bay Sanctuary and Monterey Bay Aquarium, also considered to be one of the best aquariums in the world. Big Sur is no more than a 1-hour drive south on beautiful Highway 1. Other nearby attractions include Pebble Beach Golf Resort, Pt. Lobos State Reserve, and Monterey Fisherman's Wharf as well as John Steinbeck's historic Cannery Row.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Our host, Jenn, was very friendly and welcoming. The studio is a cozy, comfortable retreat if you want a getaway. We stayed for over a week and while we were ready to go home at the end, we were also sad about leaving. We highly recommend this venue!

Jen’s place is such an amazing private space to get away to recharge. It’s clean and all the necessities are available. This place is centrally located to all that Monterey, Carmel, and Big Sur have to offer. We even popped over to Salinas one day easily from here.

Jenn's place was such a lovely getaway! The location was perfect in that it was a short 4-minute drive to Carmel Valley Village, and easy to get to surrounding areas as well. Our favorite part of our stay was sitting on the balcony sharing a bottle of wine overlooking the valley. The views simply can't be beat and we loved watching the hummingbirds soaring in and out of Jenn's garden each morning. It was peaceful, quiet, and exactly what we were looking for during a weekend to recharge. We would love to come back!

Wonderful weekend in Carmel

We stayed at the Valley View Studio and had a superb time! The location is the perfect distance from Carmel Valley- close to all the action, but quiet with no noise from the road etc, and STUNNING views from the porch! Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Excellent location, feels peaceful and private but is also close to the Village and local attractions like Garland Ranch hiking. The views from the deck and from every window were spectacular. So many hummingbirds, hawks, and deer. We had a lovely relaxing time.

Up in the hills, gorgeous view of Carmel Valley and greenery from nearly every window. The studio does overlook the owner's backyard (which is spectacularly landscaped, replete with water features, vines, fruit trees and plants galore), though the owners seemed to stay out of sight. Only downside is the view of the neighbor's house, which demands the kitchen blinds remain closed to maintain privacy. The studio is charming, well decorated and has super soft sheets and a comfortable bed. The back patio is a glorious place to unwind, sip your beverage of choice and listen to the multitude of birds.
