You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Private beach, ocean views, Gateway to Big Sur!

Delight your senses on Yankee Point! Breathe the fresh air, listen to the crashing waves of the Pacific, stargaze at night by the fire pit. Relax and unwind in a quiet place surrounded and inspired by nature.  Take a short walk from the house to the small private beach and beautiful bluff to take in spectacular sunsets and marine life.

Situated on 1/2 acre, completely remodeled in 2022 this is an ideal home base to explore the Peninsula. Located 10 minutes from Carmel’s downtown dining & grocery stores, 5 minutes from Point Lobos Nature Preserve, 2 min drive to white sand beaches (see photos) and Garrapatta hiking trails.

After a day of exploring the Peninsula (MB Aquarium, Pebble Beach golf links, wine tasting in Carmel Valley, hiking in Big Sur) return to watch HBO and other premium channels.

Enjoy 3 decks for entertaining or relaxing. Backyard deck has BBQ and outdoor dining table.

Cook’s kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances, Wolf oven, center island with bar stools & ocean view, wine fridge, washer/dryer, generous sized bedrooms with abundant natural light, lovely ocean views or scenic nature views from every window in the house and covered parking in garage.

Excellent Internet connection and layout to work from home with wireless printer and separate work spaces that afford privacy for zoom meetings.  Master bedroom has ocean views and a private balcony overlooking the landscaped garden and ocean beyond.

For nature lovers there is excellent bird watching, migrating whale watching in winter months (from the large dining room table), butterflies, hummingbirds and deer that frequent the area. 

Ideal for 4 guests with a Cal King in the Master, two full beds in the second bedroom. There is also a fold out Queen sofa bed in the living room and a twin rollaway bed in the hall closet.  

 "Basic Instinct" , HBO’s “Big LittleLies” and Clint Eastwood’s ‘Play Misty for Me’ were filmed in this stunning cinematic neighborhood. Come see the dramatic crashing waves that are a hallmark of this area.

Nicely landscaped and maintained....well-stocked kitchen...very comfortable beds and pillows...plush robes and nice bathroom products. ( Those things matter! ) Easy access to spectacular scenery in all directions...good info booklet from host, Margot, re restaurants, etc. She was out of town, but was very responsive and helpful by text and email.

Delightful stay ....
Wanted a few days hiking and seeing the sights. The house was spotless, very comfortable and had everything we needed. Location was perfect for getting into Carmel, Point Lobos and surrounding areas. Note that, due to winter storms, the trail to the private beach is pretty torn up and the beach itself is covered in large boulder type pebbles! Notwithstanding that, we highly recommend this property.

Cozy and comfy Carmel highlands
Wonderful property in the Carmel Highlands. Easy access to Point Lobos and Monterey/Carmel. Home was clean with proper amenities and a very nice kitchen. The fire pit was great and there were nice views of the ocean. Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely FABULOUS!
We loved our stay in Margot's spectacular Carmel home! The location is PERFECT- just a 2 min drive from Point Lobos- and the house is beautiful. The beds were the most comfortable of any I've ever experienced during a VRBO stay anywhere (and I've had many!) The house was so peaceful- it made my whole family happy. Margot made everything so easy and communication was fantastic. We cannot wait to return!!!!

Great stay
House and neighborhood were very nice, with some water view from front main living area and master bedroom, as well as from front patio/deck with fireplace. Met owner/host whom was very friendly. Enjoyed the neighborhood walk to the opening between 2 houses to the bluff and beach below. Proximity was also very convenient to Point Lobos Park. Overall had a great visit.

Fantastic stay in the perfect location!
My husband and I had a lovely stay in this beautiful home. The house is stylish and well-appointed, has a well-stocked kitchen, and is very comfortable (e.g., bed and pillows). It’s location- in a quiet neighborhood about a 10-minute drive from “downtown” Carmel and about a short drive to Big Sur- was absolutely perfect. Margot was a great host, appropriately communicative and ensured the property’s pristine condition. There were several nice added touches, including fresh flowers and extremely cozy robes. I would highly recommend this home to others without hesitation and hope to have the opportunity to stay here again!
