Guest House in Sunny Carmel Valley.
In Carmel Valley, just east of the famous Bernardus Spa and vineyard, this luxurious, fully equipped guest house is an ideal choice for a romantic getaway or a longer stay for one of the of the Monterey Peninsula's great events. Privacy, beautiful gardens and wine country atmosphere all conspire to make this getaway a place to recharge and relax.
Property Characteristics The guest house is located about three minutes from Carmel Valley Village, 10 minutes from Laguna Seca Race Track and 15 minutes from Carmel-by-the-Sea. It is a separate structure with bedroom, bathroom, living room and kitchen/dining area. Fully equipped, the apartment features a heated floor in the marble-tiled bathroom and walk-in shower, king size bed, robes and slippers, dimmable lights throughout and an entertainment center and Wi-Fi connection via cable. Both Netflix and Amazon channels are included. A private stone deck is right outside your door and a sun deck. A swimming pool (Not heated) is also on the property. Climbing roses, lavender field, wisteria and many other flowers adorn the property. A Bocce court with balls for both bocce and pentaquin (boules) completes the property’s amenities.
Wine tasting and Restaurants The Monterey Peninsula is known for a very wide selection of good to very good restaurants and dozens of tasting rooms featuring wines and olive oils made locally and in nearby wine growing regions of California. There are about 20 tasting rooms just up the road in Carmel Valley Village and more in downtown Carmel. There are also several notable restaurants nearby.
Sport Activities The signature sport of the Monterey Peninsula is golf. Some 16 golf courses await, among them the famous courses of Pebble Beach including Pebble Beach, Spyglass Hill, Poppy Hills and Spanish Bay, all accessible to the public. Many other challenging and scenic courses are also available – Black Horse and Bayonet, Quail Lodge, Del Monte, Laguna Seca, Carmel Valley Ranch, Pasadera and Corral De Tierra are all within about a 20 minute drive from the guest house. Other sport activities are available throughout the peninsula. There are several scenic hiking trails within a short distance. The entrance to Garland Ranch, with miles of scenic trails, is just one mile from the guest house. Bicycling is everywhere on all the local roads. Whale watching, scuba diving and kayaking on Monterey Bay are popular aquatic activities and the Monterey Bay Aquarium is a must-see attraction.
Shopping Carmel-by-the-Sea is shopping central, specializing in art from both local and international artists, with clothing stores, many specialty stores and dozens of restaurants. Del Monte Center in Monterey features a number of national brand stores as well as a multiplex theater and several restaurants. The Barnyard and Crossroads shopping areas, both at the mouth of the valley, are about 10-15 minutes from the guest house.
Special Events As a vacation destination, Monterey is also host to a large number of special events every year. The annual AT&T golf tournament always attracts top players and the US Open is played periodically at the Pebble Beach venues. The Monterey Jazz Festival, the motorcycle Gathering at Quail Lodge and several other festivals take place throughout the year. The Big Sur Marathon attracts some of the best runners in the world. Possibly the best known event is the Pebble Beach Concourse D ’Elegance and auction. Through the years so many other car events have been added at venues around the Peninsula that locals now speak of “car week,” which features some six or seven important auctions, specialized single-make car shows and the Historic Races at Laguna Seca featuring the beautiful race cars of the post-war era.

Bob’s guest house is great. It’s well appointed and had everything we could possibly need. It was spotlessly clean and the grounds are lovely. The bed is remarkably comfortable and the shower is amazing. It’s a lovely place. Highly recommend.
We really enjoyed our stay and everything was terrific. The layout of the space was perfect and was everything was the best it could be. The shower even had seven nozzles! The hosts were extremely attentive and answered very quickly to any questions we had. This place is fantastic! You should definitely stay here and we will be back for sure.
Room was perfect for my wife and I. Property was beautiful. Carmel vally village was super close with plenty of eating and wine tasting options. Carmel and Montery are a short drive through a beautiful area. Would definitely stay here again
Beautiful property and lovely owners. what a treat this stay was. well stocked, delicious coffee, gorgeous groundskeeping. This truly felt like a Mother’s Day luxury. I would recommend this stay to anyone! You will not be disappointed, such a breath of fresh air this trip was!
Lovely, well-kept property -- nice both within the guest house and outside setting in the patio area. Top quality interior space, furnishings, modern kitchen/bath appointments.
Carmel Valley is so beautiful and this was a delightful place to stay. The garden and hot tub are a nice touch. Having a small kitchen and good sized refrigerator is another plus. I would definitely come back for another stay.
Our hosts Jai and Bob were very helpful and communicated the couple little glitches they had way ahead of time. Our stay was excellent and the surroundings beautiful. Close to restaurants, hiking, and the coast. We will be staying again if we come back to Carmel Valley
The property is lovely. The apartment layout is a bit odd, though, as the bathroom is between the living room and the bedroom, so when someone is in the bathroom the second person is "trapped" in one of the other rooms.
Our host Jae and Bob were great. This property definitely exceeded our expectations. Our unit was well appointed with all the comforts of home. Bob & Jae gave us great tips and suggestions regarding restaurants and activities.
Clean and contemporary cottage with well-outfitted kitchen and spacious spa bathroom and large bedroom. Mid-valley location requires car to get anywhere (except adjacent Bernardus Lodge - but you knew that already 😉). Delightful hosts who respect privacy. A good value!
We had a wonderful stay and beautiful experience at this property. The guest house is very well appointed, spotlessly clean with a beautiful zen garden patio. Everything was top notch! Communication was excellent, proactive and responsive. We appreciated Jae and Bob allowing us to check in prior to standard check in time. They are the most friendly and gracious hosts. We truly hope to plan another stay in the future.

We loved this property. The inside is spacious for 2 people and well appointed, with very comfortable beds, nice linens, heated marble floors in the bathroom and a decently equipped kitchen.
The outside area includes a huge deck, a lovely garden with roses and lavender, a clean modern hot tub and view of the Santa Lucia mountains. Jae and Bob were friendly and helpful (allowing us to recharge our PHEV) but not at all intrusive. We hope to return another time.
We had a wonderful stay in this lovely well appointed and equipped guest house in Carmel Valley. It was peaceful and quiet with all of the comforts of home. It was nice being away from the tourist hordes of Carmel, but within convenient driving distance from Carmel and Big Sur. The bedroom, bathroom and kitchen were luxurious and the smart TV and WiFi worked perfectly (after we figured out how to use them).
Thanks, Jae and Bob!
great property, amenities listed just as they are. loved the heated floors in the bathroom. Water for the tub in restroom was too slow to fill, but the hot tub made up for it. Great shower that, as my partner puts it, felt like a nice warm hugging blanket.
Host were extremely gracious and handled several special requests to make our weekend even more memorable. super appreciative of their communication and efforts.
Very inviting! All of the comforts of home. Fabulous bathroom and kitchen. Every tool could be found in the kitchen. Very roomy bedroom.The outdoor hot tub felt wonderful. We were even able to continue watching a show on Netflix. Many thanks!
This was a wonderful, relaxing place to stay. The guest house was perfect and the location was close to many activities. The hosts were friendly and responded quickly.
Amazing stay! The room was spotless, the kitchen well-equipped, and Jae and Bob, the hosts, were so welcoming. Loved the beautiful, private yard and the relaxing hot tub which was perfect for unwinding. Highly recommend
We really enjoyed our stay here. The property is spacious and peaceful. The guest house was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked. It’s in a great location off of Carmel Vally road close to the village and wine tasting. We hope to come back!
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Jae and Bob's home. They were very friendly and helpful. The home was very clean and comfortable. The shower was amazing and the bed was very comfortable. The location was very convenient to be able to go back and forth to Laguna Seca and there were many good restaurants in Carmel Valley. I highly recommend Jae and Bob's home and would love to stay there again if we go back to the area
