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.

Gorgeous mountain view!

Beautiful quiet mountain location. Clean, safe, comfortable with pretty decor. Sitting in the sun on the balcony and looking at the amazing view is so relaxing. Owner is really nice and helped me out when I had a travel problem. Easy drive to many parks and hiking and shopping.

Beautiful Location

The little cottage is filled with light and has everything you could need during your stay. The owner’s gardens are beautiful as is the view, at least most of it. The patio out back is a nice place to read and enjoy your coffee. If you are looking for solitude in nature you may be disappointed as the neighbor’s house has direct sight lines into your windows and the owners home is just feet away. Since neither the photos or the description make this evident I wanted to mention it for other solitude seekers. . Also the cottage is attached to the garage so every time she leaves or comes home you can hear the garage door and the dogs barking. That being said, the bed is super comfortable and it is very quiet other than that. I didn’t mind it all that much. I just wasn’t expecting the proximity.i felt a bit unwelcome due to the owner’s lack of response to an emergency that came up although she made it clear later that the only time she checks for messages is at night. She also was pretty angry that the website charged a lower rate and that I should have paid more. Not my normal VRBO experience . Not bad, just different.

stunning, serene, and a perfect little getaway

my now-husband and I stayed here during our wedding in Carmel Valley and this beautiful studio will forever be part of our memories of our wedding. It was the perfect place to wake up after our celebration and take in the day and the views. The studio is cozy, airy, and the views of the valley from the patio did not disappoint. We also had our two dogs with us for the weekend and it was so special to be able to include them in our wedding weekend.

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.

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.
