Cozy Autumn Carmel Retreat • Minutes to Pebble Beach • Putting Green & Heated Patio

Summary:

Recently renovated in 2024/2025, this peaceful Carmel retreat combines luxury, comfort, and beautiful Santa Lucia Mountain views just minutes from downtown Carmel. Designed for relaxing indoor-outdoor living, the home features an expansive covered patio, outdoor kitchen, putting green, and tranquil garden spaces perfect for quiet moments with family and or alone.



The Space:

This fully renovated Carmel home combines classic Carmel charm with modern updates and thoughtfully designed spaces for relaxing, gathering, and enjoying time together.



The home features comfortable indoor and outdoor living areas, with a covered patio offering beautiful mountain views, a dining area for 10, and a well-equipped outdoor kitchen with a grill, side burner, refrigerator, and ice maker. A recessed 75-inch television provides the perfect setting for enjoying a game or movie outdoors, while a separate seating area offers a peaceful place to unwind and take in the views.



Inside, the gourmet kitchen features bar seating for five and is complemented by a separate dining room with comfortable seating for eight. Throughout the home, you’ll find cozy nooks and inviting spaces—both indoors and out—perfect for reading, enjoying a quiet cup of coffee, or simply taking a moment to relax.



For golfers, couples or families with kids, the property also offers a putting green, cornhole, and other lawn games. Three outdoor ceiling heaters provide added comfort for enjoying the patio on cool Carmel evenings.



To help maintain our neighborhood’s peaceful atmosphere, we allow a maximum of 10 people at the property during the day, including registered guests and visitors, and no more than 8 overnight guests. These limits are strictly enforced, with no exceptions. Please also be aware that Monterey County’s nighttime noise ordinance requires quiet hours from 9 PM to 7 AM. During these hours, guests are expected to keep noise at a respectful level consistent with the ordinance and the quiet residential character of the neighborhood. We provide digital decibel displays so that you can ensure compliance.



All four bedrooms feature luxury mattresses, high thread count linens, down pillows and duvets, televisions, and strong high-speed Wi-Fi. Two bedrooms open directly onto a peaceful Zen garden, creating a tranquil retreat for morning coffee or tea and a relaxing spot to enjoy an evening glass of wine.



The living and dining areas showcase classic Carmel-style ceilings, hardwood floors, and a wood-burning fireplace that adds warmth and character. Guests staying in the primary suite can enjoy the soothing sound of the outdoor water fountain simply by opening the windows.



We love welcoming well-behaved furry family members! Please contact us before booking for pet approval. A pet fee applies, and most stays are limited to one dog unless otherwise approved.



Cameras & Noise Monitoring

For the safety and protection of the property, exterior security cameras are located at:



Front door

Side of the house overlooking the secondary parking area

Exterior area facing the gate

Garage/Front parking area



We also use exterior noise-monitoring devices approved by vacation rental companies. These devices do not record conversations or sounds. They monitor noise levels and may alert us if there is excessive barking or unusually loud activity.



We follow Monterey County’s nighttime noise ordinance, which requires quiet hours from 9 PM to 7 AM.



During those nighttime hours, a sound can qualify as loud and unreasonable if it is:



Plainly audible at 50 feet or more from the source; or



The ordinance establishes nighttime standards of:



45 dBA Leq — hourly equivalent sound level

65 dBA maximum — maximum sound level

We provide 2 decibel readers located on the porch by TV and one by sitting area with a digital display, so you can clearly see what your decibel reading is.



Guest Access:

Guests will have access to the entire home and outdoor living spaces, with the exception of the owner’s closet located in the garage.



Maximum of 4 vehicles are permitted on the property. No additional vehicles are permitted. Street parking on N. Mesa Drive is PROHIBITED.



The Neighborhood:

Located just minutes from downtown Carmel, the home offers a peaceful residential setting while still being close to restaurants, shopping, beaches, golf courses, and wine tasting.



The neighborhood is primarily made up of full and part time residents, creating a quiet and relaxing atmosphere that feels tucked away while remaining conveniently located near everything Carmel has to offer.



Getting Around:

Downtown Carmel is just a quick 2-minute drive or approximately a 10–15 minute walk away. The entrance to Carmel Valley is also conveniently located about 2.5 miles from the home.



The property offers ample parking, including space large enough for two SUVs or a Sprinter van. A Tesla charger is also available in the garage for guest use.



We added this parking because there is no parking on N Mesa Drive.



Other Things to Note:

This house used to be my private residence and I would be happy to provide recommendations for restaurants, wineries, beaches, golf, hiking, shopping, and local favorites to help you make the most of your stay.



Whether you’re relaxing on the patio, practicing your putting, or enjoying the peaceful Carmel evenings by the fire pit, this home was designed to create a truly tranquil coastal getaway.



Interaction with Guests:

We self-manage the home to provide guests with a more personalized experience and quick communication throughout their stay. Guests will receive a private key code prior to arrival for easy self check-in, and we are always available by call or text to help with any questions, recommendations, or concerns.
