This home is central to everything- 5 minutes takes you to one of the area’s finest natural wonders- PT.

From the moment you enter the house you feel like you have been welcomed by a good friend or family member. You will find a welcome note and basket with a bottle of sparkling cider, sun dried tomato pesto torta in the refrigerator
There is a basket brimming with local information about Carmel, Carmel Valley (wine tasting country) Pebble Beach (home of the AT&T), Big Sur, Golf (over 15 in the area), State Parks, Area Attractions, Shopping, (Safeway, Trader Joe's and Whole foods, and Costco are all within 10 minutes) Monterey Bay Aquarium, Cannery Row, and Fisherman’s Wharf. Even if you stayed a year you could not put a dent in all the area has to offer. You will most likely be planning your return trip to this wonderful home and Monterey Peninsula. The real jewels are the beaches and coastline that words cannot even begin to describe and have been the source of inspiration for artists and poets and writers as well as many movies that have been made here.
