Two Bedroom Suite Spectacular Views 30 Day Rental

Near the top of the hill in Calera Canyon, the sweeping panoramic views of golden live-oak studded hillsides will lull you into a tranquil sense of ease, fulfillment and well-being. Expansive redwood deck, comfortable living room with floor length canyon views. The bedrooms are 18' x 24' with spacious double closets. Soak up the sunniest part of the Monterey Peninsula while you gaze across John Steinbeck's fabled Pastures of Heaven. You have a private entrance and private use of the entire separate lower level of home.

Constant sunshine, pastoral ambiance, fascinating wildlife, on a three acre nature-scaped mountainside parcel and forever views that inspire and rejuvenate the soul. There is a large fridge with filtered water and ice, sink, microwave, tea/coffee and self-serve oatmeal/cereal bars but no full kitchen or stove/oven cooking facilities.

Hosts live in the upstairs unit on the property. Both hosts work in downtown Monterey.

Carmel Valley is the sunniest part of the Monterey Peninsula and the perfect climate. It has California's best weather with temperatures in the 60°s F to low 70°s nearly all year. Deer, wild turkeys, quail, raccoons and the occasional shy bobcat are all local citizens. Just far enough from town that skies are bright, twinkling and sometimes meteor streaked.

Ample driveway parking but be cautious turning around. Twelve miles from Monterey Airport, just off Corral de Tierra Rd. Within 20 - 30 minutes of downtown Monterey, Pebble Beach, Carmel or Pacific Grove. Carmel Valley, Laguna Seca 10-15 minutes. The start of Big Sur is a little over 30 minutes.

Off the beaten path
We stayed here for easier access to get to the raceway; however, it was not as close as it seemed due to the canyon roads that this location requires you to drive in order to reach the destination. The accommodation itself is clean and welcoming, just be careful when entering the side door at night as there are many unexpected steps and I almost face planted (my fault for not using a light). The two-car parking limit was undisclosed in the description, but it became too late to cancel when I found out. Also, undisclosed is the no smoking on the property rule. Overall, 4/5. just be aware of the items mentioned above and it will be just fine.

Amazing deck, perfect for a weekend stay
The property is just as described. The 2 bedrooms are of good sizes. Very clean. The main attraction is definitely the deck which we enjoyed morning, early evening and late at night for star gazing.

What a great house in a gorgeous location! The house is nestled at the top of rolling hills overlooking a beautiful valley. Views are absolutely stunning, both evening and morning! The house is perfect for a family or group looking to enjoy Carmel, Big Sur, etc, who would also like to see the hills and valleys surrounding the coast. The house is clean and well appointed; we did not lack for anything. Hosts are very communicative and hospitable. Definitely recommend!

Amazing Monterey Stay
Our family of four really enjoyed staying at this property for a Monterey getaway. The home is located in a beautiful valley which we loved looking at each morning and evening. Travel to and from Monterey was short and we were able to fit in the Aquarium, whale watching, restaurants, and a visit to the CSUMB campus.

Great Stay!
Place was great. If you have any concern about staying in the lower part of the property, don't. They communicated via VRBO to check in on us and we felt completely private. We were aware of the limited kitchen options but was no problem at all. The first evening we stopped at the Safeway and grabbed heat up meals and some snacks for the deck and the second night we just grabbed to go food and brought it up. Easy and was lovely getting back to the property to sit on the deck and enjoy the view. The coffee and treats in the room were perfect for morning snacks before we got on the road for our day.

Really nice property
We had a really nice stay, the property owners live upstairs and were very communicative. If you are a light sleeper, you can hear them walking around, but overall not an issue. The view is gorgeous, property was sorta hard to find the first time because it’s super dark and we went at night.

Great Stay, beautiful location
We had a great stay during Spring Break. The weather wasn't optimal so we couldn't enjoy the deck with the beautiful views. Hosts very responsive to any questions or requests. Our biggest inconvenience (and there was full disclosure on the listing) was the lack of an oven/stove. This could be easily overcome by having a simple hot plate, toaster oven or better yet, access to a grill on the gorgeous deck. Also, the lack of laundry was a headache for a longer stay. There is a premium pricetag associated with doing a load which we assumed was due to the washer/dryer being in the owner's unit which is understandable. But the laundry facilities are actually in the bottom unit with a sign not to use them which we thought was strange. We've always had full access to laundry at other VRBOs. Besides those two headaches, we had a very enjoyable stay and the drive, though windy and steep, was very beautiful.

Good views, minimal amenities
We had a good visit here, with the big pros being the views of the canyon behind the house, good internet, clean place, very large deck, although we coudn't use it since it rained while we were there. The cons are: remote location, winding narrow roads getting there (no problem if you're used to country roads), minimal amenities (no kitchen, no TV, limited areas to hang out when the weather is bad). I also had a hard time sleeping because I'm a light sleeper and I could hear everything from the owners upstairs (walls are very thin). If you're a light sleeper, I recommend earplugs.

We had a good weekend overall—the bed in the one bedroom where we slept was very comfortable and the location was gorgeous. We had no problem finding it in the dark because of the excellent directions. We were pretty cold down there with just space heaters but then it has been an unseasonably cold winter here. I wouldn’t call the living room comfortable, with just one futon that faces the windows in an awkwardly leaning back position and bungee corded together. We had planned to be there with my mother-in-law, and I’m glad she couldn’t come in the end because we wouldn’t have had anywhere besides the dining table to hang out in the evening. Glad to be able to have our dog there. Thanks!

Not family friendly
The property was easy check in and clean. We traveled with our small children and the location was not family friendly. They had space heaters and no tv. The drive to the property was extremely dreadful with flooded roadways and about a 15ml or more drive up one lane windy road with no lighting. We did not anticipate this at all. There was no lighting when entering at night either. After arriving we booked a hotel closer to the city. There’s no reception at this location either only wifi. The host was friendly but overall it was not what we expected so we did not stay. Also there’s a beautiful balcony with view but no smoking anywhere near property.

Carolyn was very helpful giving detail instructions on locating the property. I advise that you make sure you have food with you because there is nothing close by. The beds were very comfortable and the place was tidy and clean and the view was very pretty. The cons were that she had mentioned in her e-mail to me that there was a fridge located in the garage with ice and filtered water but there were no lights in the garage and when I entered it the door was off the fridge. When I asked about it she told me it wasn't part of the rental but she even had sign posted right over the microwave to let you know that was where the water and ice was located. I was glad that we had stop at the grocery store before coming and did have a few small bottles of water. She did refund me $20 dollars for the inconvenience. In the amenities I believe it mentions breakfast is included which consisted of granola bars and packaged oatmeal. I would suggest if you are staying that you bring something for the morning to eat. Also there is mention of games but there was just cards and a checkerboard set that could be held in the palm of your hand. Since there were no T.V's and we had young children with us I was thinking there would be more games like scrabble, Uno or Yahtzee. I don't know if I would stay again I felt the cost was pricey for what you actually got.
