About this property
Stunning 5 Acre Carmel Retreat, 2 Hot Tubs, Amazing Location!
Our spacious five-bed, five-bath ranch-style home is located on five acres in the estate area of Carmel, commonly known as Jacks Peak. Although secluded and quiet, it is conveniently located between Carmel and Monterey. You will be just minutes from anywhere on the entire Monterey Peninsula, yet surrounded by majestic oak and pine trees, with a sprawling yard in which to play.
All five bedrooms have queen beds, and each bedroom has its own bathroom with a shower. The house sleeps 10 comfortably. There is ample floor space, and we have a couple of airbeds and mats to accommodate more, especially children, if needed.
Amenities include a cozy hot tub for two on a large deck off the master bedroom, with a custom-built in-ground hot tub for larger groups just a few steps away. Croquet, basketball, badminton, volleyball, bocce ball, and Frisbee equipment are all located on-site, and there is plenty of room to play. There is a large front lawn that turns green when it rains. There is also a large brick patio with tables, chairs, and a fireplace for winter use.
Both the large living room and master bedroom have fireplaces. The living room has a vintage piano, two sofas, two club chairs, a corner TV, and a stereo. The French doors in the living room open onto a welcoming, bright, brick-floor enclosed Lanai with skylights.
The dining room has a table that seats eight but will easily seat 10. French doors lead to a large backyard deck with a table for six. There is a gas grill and two propane heaters.
Off the dining room is a modest, fully stocked kitchen with a large work island and windows to the wooded backyard. There is also a kitchen nook (host to many beautiful sunrises), with a small dining table, bench, and four chairs.

We loved our stay at Jack's Retreat. The house and grounds were beautiful and very well maintained. It's a special place and I hope to have an opportunity to returrn.
The house was phenomenal! So beautiful, warm, and welcoming. It had so much charm and uniqueness, close enough to everything in Monterey and Carmel, but secluded so you feel like you are in a retreat in the mountains. Deer in the yard in the morning while you are having coffee on the deck or hummingbirds flying around as you have a glass of wine in the evening. Amazing place and highly recommend!
We loved this beautifully appointed home that is super well stocked with everything you need. The 5 rooms all with baths was perfect for extended family of mostly adults. We loved the scenic and peaceful "resort" like setting and the two hottubs had space for everyone. Close to Carmel and Monterey but not in the fray of the touristy parking mess made this the perfect place to stay.
Wow, this home was ment to hold us over until our regular Jazz Festival house was available, but we all fell in love! From the large in ground hot tub, to the most well stock home we have ever stayed in, to the timely responses to our every question or request, to the numerous places that seven of us could gather, dine or just enjoy the serenity of the home and grounds, it surpassed every expectation! We are booking our return stay.
We had a wonderful and relaxing stay in this beautiful, charming and spacious home. It was the perfect spot for our large family attending a wedding in Monterey. The home is well appointed with an interesting vintage vibe along with all the modern comforts you would ever need. The property is truly stunning with hot tubs, decks and patios along with several acres of beautiful vistas. Great pride and care of ownership shine throughout this home and property. Thanks again and we do hope to return in the future!
We checked out three days ago, and my adult daughter texted me today to tell me that she wishes we were still at this vacation house. So beautiful, inside and out - lovely place to connect with nature!
This history-filled home so far exceeded our expectations, even after we saw the stunning photos, we're still in awe. Every bedroom has its own bathroom, all of the rooms are spacious and lovely, with plenty of room for your clothes. More than enough towels, including different towels for the hot tubs and the beach. We cooked a lot and found every utensil and size pot we looked for. So many places to hang out, eat, play cards and games. A basketball half-court, ping pong table, board games. But it was the outdoor spaces that made it feel most magical. So many birds came to the birdbaths we refilled every day for the enjoyment of it. The grounds are expansive, with paths and seating scattered around. The two hot tubs got daily use by the family. David, the local go-to person, was immediately responsive. Check-in has never been as easy at any Vrbo we've ever stayed at. I would recommend this wonderful property to anyone staying on the Monterey Peninsula - we visited Monterey, Carmel, Salinas, Pacific Grove, Point Lobos - even though we didn't actually want to leave the property!
The house is a beautiful retreat with lots of space and well stocked cabinets. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the peace and quiet of this lovely home.
We stayed here with our sons and their families. They really enjoyed the big hot tub and exploring the property. Great place for large groups and the property manager was very helpful and nice
Our stay was nothing short of wonderful. Everything from the nostalgic feel of the house, the fireplaces, the hot tub, the great layout, to the surrounding property was amazing. Our family truly enjoyed this house. Would book again.
This home is fabulous! It has so much charm and comfort! We enjoyed the gorgeous gardens and outdoor living spaces. The location was central and perfect for day trips all around the surrounding areas. The owners communicated quickly and ensured our stay was a five star experience.
What a wonderful home with Carmel Charm! This property is a great location, central to everything in the area with a big yard perfect for kids to enjoy and a great outdoor hot tub. Our host was so nice and accommodating and our entire family had a great time. Highly recommend!
A spacious house with a nice layout and furnishings that allowed our family and friends to share but also have privacy. The house has nice outdoor spaces, we managed to eat on the deck off the dining room , in the backyard and in the front bricked area. The kitchen is a little bit old-fashioned, but it definitely is equipped, but just about everything you could dream of having in the kitchen.
We stayed at this beautiful and relaxing woodland property with our extended family to celebrate my husband’s 75th birthday. He very much enjoyed the time there. Everything from the outdoor spaces and the hot tubs to the lovely, large home were well maintained. The site was centrally located for all the activities we had planned. We found the home to be very relaxing and comfortable when we were gathered together. We also appreciated how easy it was to communicate with Susan regarding questions. It is definitely a place we would enjoy returning to.
This is a lovely property. We rented this house for a work event and it was very spacious with enough rooms and bathrooms for a large group of colleagues. We particularly enjoyed the hot tubs and the lush landscape surrounding them. Thank you for sharing your home!
Ideal for access to golf, shopping, and transportation, but in a very natural setting. Property manager is an excellent communicator and very prompt . We will definately stay at Jack's Peak again!
