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.

About the area
Located in Jack's Peak, a neighbourhood in Carmel, this holiday home is next to a golf course and near the beach. Fisherman's Wharf and Pebble Beach Golf Links are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Monterey Bay and Carmel Beach. Check out an event or a game at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, and consider making time for Monterey Bay Aquarium, a top attraction not to be missed. Kayaking and scuba diving offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with cycling and horse riding nearby. Visit our Carmel travel guide

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!
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
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.
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!
5 couples old college friends…..great home beautiful gardens quiet and peaceful but close to Carmel Monterey and Pebble beach. Plus we drove to Big Sir and Basin Park….cool sunny weather was great.
We could not have been happier with our stay. What a beautiful home and the location/setting was awesome! Everything was very clean, quiet, warm and welcoming. Beds were comfortable and kitchen well stocked. We were really lucky to have had the opportunity to get enjoy some of the plums grown by the owner and I especially loved the comforts of the master bedroom!! The owner was very quick to reply to messages and very easy to work with. Thank you for letting us use your home to build some great family memories.
The property served our family well. We enjoyed the five bedrooms and five bathrooms, the dining and living rooms and outdoor space including the two hot tubs. The location is away from the city, so very quiet, yet, within a 10 minute drive. The kitchen has everything needed to cook and serve a large family. The reason for my awarding of only 4 stars is that the interior of the house can use some refreshing and updating. Overall, I would not hesitate to recommend this property for a large family visiting the Monterey Bay Area.
Wonderful, Central Location in Monterey-Carmel-Pacific Grove Area
The house was large and fully accommodated our extended family of 10 with 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. the living room was large and comfortable, as was the dining room and kitchen (which was a popular gathering location, with its corner nook with great views). The grounds were spacious and spectacular--I have never seen landscaping as beautiful in the area and so true to the unique landscape components of the Monterey-Carmel area. Every one in the family commented daily on the beauty of the house and grounds. The interior of the house, though a bit dated (as others have mentioned), seems deliberately faithful to its provenance and was comfortable and a good experience in every way; the spacious deck was especially pleasant. And the view in every direction of the wonderfully landscaped grounds was beautiful in a way that itself became a significant part of everyone's enjoyment of our stay on the Peninsula. And the landscaping and the architecture of the place seemed to bring together the unique feel of the area in a way I had never experienced before, even having grown up there and visited many times. I have perhaps overused the word "unique", but the feeling of unique beauty lingers still. A great place for our family get-together.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
