About this property

Carmel Valley View Studios

Set among the hills in a very quiet neighborhood in beautiful Carmel Valley, is our very private and separate cottage WITH A QUEEN BED. Just over 500 sq. ft. with 2 private outdoor decks overlooking the hills of the valley, our cottage is only 1 1/4 miles to Carmel Valley Village's center which is bursting with an impressive array of quality restaurants, wine tasting rooms, art galleries and beautiful boutique shops.

A 20-minute drive down a lovely country road brings you to Carmel-by- the- Sea, considered to be one of the most lovely villages and beaches in the entire world. Just a bit further is Monterey Bay Sanctuary and Monterey Bay Aquarium, also considered to be one of the best aquariums in the world. Big Sur is no more than a 1-hour drive south on beautiful Highway 1. Other nearby attractions include Pebble Beach Golf Resort, Pt. Lobos State Reserve, and Monterey Fisherman's Wharf as well as John Steinbeck's historic Cannery Row.

Jen’s place is such an amazing private space to get away to recharge. It’s clean and all the necessities are available. This place is centrally located to all that Monterey, Carmel, and Big Sur have to offer. We even popped over to Salinas one day easily from here.

Wonderful weekend in Carmel

We stayed at the Valley View Studio and had a superb time! The location is the perfect distance from Carmel Valley- close to all the action, but quiet with no noise from the road etc, and STUNNING views from the porch! Would definitely recommend and stay again.

great alternative to Monterey

This is a very nice little spot that worked great for our trip. I would highly recommend using this location and exploring Carmel Valley as a potential alternative to staying in Monterey, as we found the location perfect for what we needed and it is close enough to Monterey if you still want to visit. Very good place for dogs and great spot to enjoy Carmel Valley.

Nice quiet getaway

This place is perfect for a quick relaxing stay that is very friendly for dogs. She has two outdoor patios for this cottage that are perfect for small or mid-size dogs. We arrived during the hottest day of the year so we spent the majority of our time in Carmel but the evenings were tolerable with a cool breeze blowing up the hillside. The view is phenomenal and the little terrace facing the valley is perfect for reading or relaxing in the morning with a cup of coffee. Location is convenient to local stores and restaurants as well.

This is a great little studio for 2. The deck is awesome and looks out over the Carmel Valley and the owner's lovely garden. Very well stocked for a small place with lots of towels and appliances!

Amazing hideaway in the valley

Perfect spot for a quiet break from the city. Though small the studio gives you breathtaking view of the valley. I could just sit down and stare out. And Jenn’s garden is a haven for the red-throated hummingbirds. Add to that — it’s dog-friendly. Would definitely be back!
