Santa Lucia Range Views from the Patio, Putting Green, Near Downtown!

Summary:

Recently renovated in 2023/2025, this peaceful Carmel retreat combines luxury, comfort, and beautiful Santa Lucia Mountain views just minutes from downtown Carmel. Designed for relaxing indoor-outdoor living, the home features an expansive covered patio, outdoor kitchen, putting green, fire pit, and tranquil garden spaces perfect for gathering with family and friends.



The Space:

This fully renovated home blends classic Carmel charm with modern updates and thoughtfully designed indoor and outdoor living spaces.



The spacious covered patio overlooks the Santa Lucia Mountain range and serves as the heart of the home. Enjoy the outdoor kitchen complete with a grill, side burner, refrigerator, ice maker, and a 75-inch television for watching sporting events or movies outdoors. A large dining table comfortably seats 10 guests, while the separate sunken fire pit creates the perfect place to unwind with a glass of wine and enjoy the peaceful mountain views.



For golfers, families, and kids, the property also features a large putting green ideal for putting practice, cornhole, and yard games. Three outdoor ceiling heaters help keep the covered patio warm and comfortable during cool Carmel evenings.



Inside, the primary kitchen is fully stocked with cookware, spices, oils, and everything needed to prepare meals at home. Large 16-foot sliding doors open directly to the patio, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience.



All four bedrooms feature new mattresses, luxury linens, televisions, and strong high-speed internet. Two of the bedrooms open directly to a peaceful Zen garden, offering a quiet place to enjoy morning coffee, tea, or an evening glass of wine.



The living and dining rooms feature classic Carmel-style ceilings, hardwood floors, and a wood-burning fireplace that adds warmth and character to the home. Guests in the primary suite can enjoy the relaxing sound of the outdoor water fountain simply by opening the windows.



We love well-behaved furry family members. Please contact us prior to booking for pet approval. A pet fee applies, and most stays are limited to one dog unless otherwise approved.



Guest Access:

Guests will have access to the entire home and outdoor living spaces, with the exception of the owner’s closet located in the garage.



The property also features an expanded parking area for easier access to the home and additional room for larger vehicles.



The Neighborhood:

Located just minutes from downtown Carmel, the home offers a peaceful residential setting while still being close to restaurants, shopping, beaches, golf courses, and wine tasting.



The neighborhood is primarily made up of full-time residents, creating a quiet and relaxing atmosphere that feels tucked away while remaining conveniently located near everything Carmel has to offer.



Getting Around:

Downtown Carmel is just a quick 2-minute drive or approximately a 10–15 minute walk away. The entrance to Carmel Valley is also conveniently located about 2.5 miles from the home.



The property offers ample parking, including space large enough for two SUVs or a Sprinter van. A Tesla charger is also available in the garage for guest use.



Other Things to Note:

This house used to be my private residence and I would be happy to provide recommendations for restaurants, wineries, beaches, golf, hiking, shopping, and local favorites to help you make the most of your stay.



Whether you’re relaxing on the patio, practicing your putting, or enjoying the peaceful Carmel evenings by the fire pit, this home was designed to create a truly tranquil coastal getaway.



Interaction with Guests:

We self-manage the home to provide guests with a more personalized experience and quick communication throughout their stay. Guests will receive a private key code prior to arrival for easy self check-in, and we are always available by call or text to help with any questions, recommendations, or concerns.

This was such an amazing home for a family gathering. My family and I are outdoors people and the open floor plan from the kitchen to the outdoors was amazing. Also, the sliding wall between the kitchen and the patio were incredibly soundproof, so we were able to accommodate a couple with a baby and their earlier bedtime without losing our ability to stay up later listening to music for the rest of us. Absolutely perfect!

This property is very close to town and was an ideal home for our annual girls weekend. The outdoor space is gorgeous and super inviting. They made it easy to be comfortable with overhead gas heaters and several areas to lounge or dine. The home is nicely stocked and very clean. We had some minor issues with lighting and windows. New construction always has some kinks to be ironed out. My only suggestion would be to add some seating to the inside space. If you don't want to be outdoors, there isn't the same amount of seating indoors. But, we loved being on the patio and will definitely book again when back in Carmel. Beautiful spot and highly recommend.

This was the perfect place to stay in Carmel! The house is all newly renovated and amazing. There’s an amazing outdoor space with heaters and a fire pit, as well as the putting green. The kitchen is fully stocked and has amazing appliances. The 4 bedrooms were great, very comfortable beds with nice bathrooms. The master bathroom even had heated floors! Host was very responsive and let us use electric car charger on site, which was so helpful. Check in and check out we’re super easy, no complicated process. Overall a great place for a friends weekend, would 100% come back again! Can’t recommend enough!

Family get away

We really enjoyed staying at Penny’s house for a family trip to Carmel. The house looks just as advertised with updates throughout the entire house. The 3 bedrooms are quite spacious and the house was very clean when we arrived. The kitchen is well equipped and we were able to cook most of our meals while staying there. The fenced backyard was wonderful. We were traveling with our 2 dogs who really enjoyed the large space to play in. The flowers are beautiful. We enjoyed sitting on the back deck in the mornings eating breakfast under the umbrella.

We stayed here for our wedding weekend as we were coming from out of town. The house is stunning! The owner was so quick to respond when we needed help, the location is very central so easy to get around town, loved that we were able to bring our fur babies with us for the weekend as well.

Great for family and dogs

The large fenced-in yard made it so easy and safe to let the dogs out before heading off on walks or to the beach. The large living room was great for all 6 of us to hang out, eat, or play games. During the unprecedented rains of the previous weeks, the sump pump running constantly at night was noisy for sleeping.

My wife and I took our 2 year old son and our in-laws to Carmel for the weekend and the house was perfect for us. It was cozy, quiet and spacious, had all the amenities we needed, was very close to all the restaurants and shops in Carmel + not too far from Monterey .I'd definitely recommend for anyone looking for a nice stay in Carmel or Monterey

Exquisite Large and Modern Home With Plenty of Backyard Space!

Staying in this home was truly so special! There are endless areas to hangout between the living room, dining area, kitchen, a second dining area, barstools, and outdoor space. It's so comfortable, well decorated, and instantly felt like a vacation upon arriving. The only arena I would square away ahead of time is the schedule of the yard maintenance. While my group was outside on the deck, the leaf-blower came. I was not notified ahead of time, so we had to come in until they were done. We were having a BBQ for my mom's birthday the following day thank goodness, so it was no problem. There seemed to be a bit of confusion of the yard schedule, but this is an easy thing to plan for ahead of time once the owners have the updated schedule. If you're wanting to plan a day on the deck in the backyard I would just ask ahead of time to plan accordingly. I would absolutely stay here again, and plan to.
