About this property

Entire place

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

Time Honored Adobe Home - Sweeping Ocean View.

Majestically situated on Point Lobos Ridge, this home offers the most incredible white-water and ocean views of Carmel and Pebble Beach imaginable. The home is positioned to take advantage of the natural wonders of the central coast. Experience being perched high above the fog most days. Sunrises and Sunsets are 360 degrees and Carmel Village lights up the night below as the fog thread’s it’s way through the Valley. Thousands of acres of California State Parks open space surround the property, with oceanfront hiking at Point Lobos State Park at the entrance to the road leading to the property. Vast open space precludes distraction, creating an abundance of stars and planet viewing.

The Home
2 bedroom, 1 bath with shower and tub. Sleeps 6
You will walk into a time honored original Post Adobe home which was recently restored to it's original condition.

Enjoy the warm of 80 year old first growth redwood post & beam construction. Original mahogany ceiling planks provide a wonderful contrast to the open beam ceiling.

The Chef's appointed kitchen and Freestanding, original adobe fireplace can be the perfect place to add warmth and texture to your vacation stay.

An open floor plan provides plenty of room for good conversation and relaxing. The Kitchen, dining and living areas are all open as part of the great room experience.
We will do everything possible to make this a memorable experience that will endure a lifetime.

We own and operate our home in compliance with Monterey County requirements. The taxes included in the amount you paid when reserving our home are forwarded to the Monterey County Tax Collector under. Certificate No. 000613

This house feels LOVED!

This is a lovely house, with a great kitchen for cooking! Also the bathroom is so nice, with heated floors and bidet, quite a step up from your typical short term rental. Lou was very responsive whenever I had a question. It’s in a beautiful location but it is a bit of a drive to get up there (price to pay for peace and quiet and a view!), just so people are aware.

Lovely!

Lou’s house just never disappoints! It’s our second stay and we loved it! The kids love it. The location is fantastic and warmer than in Carmel. House is clean and wonderful to star gaze as there’s no light pollution. The fans worked well to cool the sleeping rooms down. It makes for an unforgettable get away!

Cloud 9

Felt like I was on Cloud 9. This is definitely the place to go to relax and enjoy the true beauty of God’s creation. And at the same time, shops and great restaurants were a mere 10 minutes away. This home is well equipped with lots of nice upgrades. My favorite being the heated bathroom floors. The owner is quite responsive and a really nice guy.

Stunning and Regenerative

This house is a dream come true. My family and I could not have enjoyed our stay more. The view is every bit as spectacular as you would expect and more so. We barely left the house the entire time we were there, and will definitely return again. Lou was fantastic, and we had everything we would need.

Stunning views - didn't want to leave!

What an absolutely stunning adobe. We loved the fire, the chefs kitchen and the whole lay out. The sweeping mountain and ocean views are so spectacular that we didn't want to leave. We also loved drinking coffee on the bench in the mornings listening to the birds sing. Already planning when it's possible to return.

Unbelievable view!

We had a wonderful stay at this house. The furnishings are simple but comfortable. The best part is the 180 degree views from the house overlooking Carmel. Our other favorite part was the fireplace in the living room. It is a 10 minute drive to a Safeway and restaurants. Would def stay here again!

Unique property with panoramic views

Grew up in Carmel. 30 yrs worth. I can say that the location and privacy with fantastic views of the Pacific/ Carmel and Mission Beach are outstanding as well as views out Carmel Valley. Charming home that has a wonderful kitchen along with nice bath and comfortable bedrooms. Having stayed in just about every location and type of homes on the Monterey Peninsula, I can say that this property is special. The drive up the hill to the top takes about 5-6 minutes. Not bad. From the bottom of the hill your are 5 minutes to groceries and dining. The owner is responsive and polite. A real pleasure ! Bring your binoculars...

The views are grand, & the property is quiet and peaceful. I did miss having clocks & wastepaper baskets, & the liquid soap dries your hands. Still a wonderful way to get away from it all & have your own mountaintop.

Stunning architectural gem, elegance abound

A group of us stayed here for a long weekend and it couldn’t have been more perfect. We spent hours on the gorgeous deck, taking in the view and sunshine. Our days were filled with delicious meals, laughter, and awe inspiring beauty all around us, both inside and outside the home. Pamela was definitely a super host and made sure everything was exceptional from start to finish. Highly recommend!

Lovely Stay at a Lovely Home

This is our second stay at the Adobe Home high up on the hill above Point Lobos and Carmel-by-the-Sea and we can't wait to come back. The beautiful old post home is secluded and surrounded by parkland; all the peace and quiet you could ask for. As other reviewers have mentioned, the home has world-class views of Carmel Bay, Carmel Beach, Pebble Beach and beyond. Even when the fog covers the views, the cozy home is a perfect place to build a fire, cook a meal in the great kitchen, relax, and celebrate with friends and family (and dogs!)

Perfectly perched relaxing stay

Carmel and the Monterey Bay area is a world-class destination and this property was perched perfectly to look down on the world-class beauty of it all! So much to do: great hiking everywhere to include Big Sur and its magic, beach walking, whale watching, wonderful restaurants and walking the beautiful town of Carmel. So much to NOT do and just stay on property and relax. We enjoyed a couple days going nowhere and appreciating the incredible views. The house is wonderful and comfortable with a great fireplace and chef-centric kitchen outfitted with everything needed to prepare gourmet meals. Everything was perfect and we can't wait to return!

Seaside Hilltop Heaven

This was our second stay at the Time Honored Adobe, our first in 5 years, and it was exactly as we hoped it would be. The views from this unique property can only be described as sublime. The home is warm and so comfortable. The kitchen is perfect for those who enjoy cooking and relaxing while dining in.We spent hours hiking Pt Lobos Reserve or the beach and then retreated to the adobe for afternoons on the patio to take in the expansive views. We got a smattering of typical February weather, each day creating new ways to enjoy the natural surroundings. We’re so grateful this gem of a place is still available and hope to return again.

Like a beautiful painting.

The property took our breath way when we approached it. Amazing setting with gorgeous views. The view is literally above the clouds. Love the house. Great fires on chilly evenings. Gourmet kitchen and comfortable beds. Lou the owner could not have been nicer. Only thing missing was an umbrella. Found the sun can. Be quite intense . Would definitely come back for another stay.
