Carmel Highlands

"This house is amazing! It is not only beautiful, but it had everything we needed. There were 10 of us on our first trip to California. We had more than enough room to spread out and had tons of fun sitting in the hot tub, having ping pong tournaments, cooking family dinners and enjoying the view of the ocean. Point Lobos State Park is very near and we spent 2 separate days wandering through and investigating tide pools. I am so glad the house ended up exceeding our expectations, but one of the best things was Keith. A week before our arrival the Soberanes wild fire began very close to Carmel. Keith contacted me to let me know about it and told me where I could look to get more info on the fire. He answered all my questions, but did not try to convince me to stay or to cancel. Even though the house was not in direct danger, he said he would refund all of our money if we had any concerns about the air quality and did not want to stay there. In the end we decided to go and we are all very glad we did. We hope our travels bring us back this way some day and we would absolutely stay in this house again. Thank you to Keith and his family for sharing it!"

"All I can say is WOW! From the moment you pull into the driveway, walk through the front door, and then step foot onto your private bluff overlooking the waves crashing on the rocks in front of you, you've said WOW about 10 times. My husband and I surprised my parents and my sister and brother-in-law with a trip up to Carmel early this year (2/12-2/15), and Pelican Cove made a special place even more so for all of us. My family grew up in NorCal, but we now all live in SoCal, so we miss how easy it used to be to pop on over to Carmel for the day or weekend and soak in it's beauty. I have many fond memories with my family there, and it's a special place for my parents as they honeymooned there. Well, thanks to our wonderful stay at the beautiful Pelican Cove, we have yet another VERY special memory that my entire family can share in. The home is STUNNING and was so very accommodating for the 6 of us. There's more than enough room for everyone, and you're mesmerized by the water crashing on the rocks with every room you enter. We spent one of the nights in and cooked, and had everything we needed to enjoy our evening. Especially when we all cozied up to the gorgeous fireplace with a night cap. I can only hope we get the opportunity to stay again as I'd love to bring my family back with my in-laws as well. Thank you for sharing such a special place."
