A few steps away this georges home, (within walking distance) Carmel Valley, the quiet village 11 miles south of Carmel-by-the-Sea, boasts 19 wineries and tasting rooms, a healthy mix of iconic Monterey trailblazers (Talbott), new players (Mercy Vineyards) and established wineries looking for foot traffic (Marilyn Remark). Everything on the lush, overgrown trail is within walking distance, but without the traffic and commercial presence of Carmel. This village is humble, and with vineyards nearby, the windy stretch of Carmel Valley Road that leads to the Cachagua Valley feels more like wine country. We spent a recent Sunday exploring the strip. Here's what stood out. Georis Winery: The Georis family farms 28 acres of Bordeaux varietals in the upper Carmel Valley. They're known for European-style wines, with lower alcohol and less oak. Walter Georis, who owns Carmel's French-inspired cafe, La Bicyclette, as well as the popular Casanova, recruited winemaker Damien Georis (no relation) from Bordeaux when they realized they grew up in the same village in Belgium. The sips: Damien's Bordeaux blend, La Chappelle, is exceptional. We also liked the rosé and barrel-fermented sauvignon blanc.scenic sand dunes at Spanish Bay, threading the towering pines of Spyglass Hill, or challenging the cliff-swept shoreline at Pebble Beach, a golf trip to Pebble Beach Resorts is full of lifetime golf memories at your finger tips.

The location was walking distance to fun wine tasting rooms and good food options. The house was spacious and clean and the outside was large and had plenty of spaces for our group to gather. We would definitely stay here again and I highly recommend this house for anyone looking to visit Carmel! ##### David L. ### 8/10 Good #### Chloe P. 26 May 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Stay at Luxe Vaca Carmel Valley The house is adorable.

We had a wonderful family trip to this property. We hiked at the nearby Garland Ranch Park, went to a wine tasting within walking distance of the property, BBQ'd one evening and sat around the fire pit for some dessert. There is quite a bit more to do in the area and it is within a reasonable distance from Carmel and Monterey. We had one elderly person in our group who was able to enjoy the spacious lawns with a walker. A memorable trip! ##### Suresh A.

A great retreat weekend with five of my therapy clients. It started to go bad when the kitchen stove gave out. We had a professional chef. BUT, LUXVACA came through for us and we had a new stove installed in time for our chef to make us a scrumptious dinner. Thank you Ashley!!! We'll be back in the fall.

Beds were comfortable, there were plenty of towels, supplies, dishes, silverware, etc. and the cookware was good quality. Management was very helpful and provided a high chair and portable crib for baby. The hot tub was great even in cold weather. It’s a quiet neighborhood but close to markets, restaurants, wine tasting, Carmel, etc. We enjoyed a family of deer that visited the yard. Our family had a great time at the house! ##### Patty F.

We truly enjoyed our weekend at this home. It worked very well for my men's workshop. When we needed more heat (it was quite cold out) the hosts were "on the spot" to remedy the problem. A venue is only as good as it's support staff and this one was top shelf. Our hired chef found the kitchen perfect to create great food for us. We will definitely be back. ##### George C.

We were celebrating a co-worker and playing golf through the weekend with several couples enjoying the property. The large kitchen and living room area were great for conversations and group meals after long golf days. The property manager Manuel was prompt with his responses to our questions and needs. The pool was not usable during our stay due to a pump and algae issue, but Manuel made sure we were taken care of. I would recommend checking with the property manager prior a future stay just to confirm everything is working correctly. Overall we were very happy. ##### Kelly K.

It is perfectly situated to enjoy the area. Less than a 5 minute walk into the village where there are ample places to eat, drink, and shop, and around 20 minutes drive into Carmel. The home was exceptionally clean when we arrived and it was very well-stocked. The outdoor space was amazing although the pool had not been heated. It was a chilly week so we enjoyed the hot tub daily. The bedrooms were spacious although the middle bedroom on the second floor was not a bedroom at all. It had a bed in it but no doors, which was not shown in the photo of the floor plan. We spent a lot of time in the kitchen/dining area, which really needed some extra light. One couple stayed in the guest house but there was no lock so valuables had to be bought into the main house whenever we left for the day. Overall, the home was a great find and we would rent this property again. ##### Laura H. ### 8/10 Good #### Debbie P. 22 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location #### 7/10 Architecturally it is a very unique home and the layout accommodated our family reunion well: it was spacious, comfortable, and had fantastic outdoor space and view. This house is very special and has a LOT of potential, but not a “luxury” property in its current state. The kitchen/ dining room is a beautiful gathering space and well equipped except for the stove/ oven. They have replaced the high-end unit pictured, with the bottom-of-the-line range - inconsistent with the quality of the house. Heating the pool is not an option. I had read several reviews that the hot tub was not working, so I proactively reached out to the host 1 ½ weeks before our stay to ensure it was working. When we arrived, it was not working! The management was quick to respond, but given the holiday weekend, it did not work for our 5-day stay. The hot tub needs some TLC, exposed pipes etc…does not look safe/ comfortable to sit on top of it. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and would consider returning…if the hot tub was updated/ worked. ##### Debbie P. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 17 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice large house fully stocked for a large group people We had our group birthday reunion in this large house for a long weekend. The main house has 6 bedrooms with 3 bathrooms. One bathroom is in master bedroom suite and two bathrooms are for the other 5 bedrooms to share. There is a separate cottage with a full suite of bedroom, bathroom and kitchen which we didn’t use. This layout was important for us since we had several couples to accommodate. The house is clean and spacious for us. The front yard has many space to park our cars. We had three cars. It should have no problem to park another three more cars. The host is very nice and prepared us with fully stocked kitchen and nice welcoming gifts. The location of the house is nice and quiet. There is a nice pool and hot tub. The house is fully of nice furniture. We enjoy our staying very much. Thank the host very much. Highly recommended to any 7 couples party. It is very hard to find such a large and nice house. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kerri G. 2 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### So glad I chose this house! Our adult children and their young children spent the weekend here with my husband and me for a wedding nearby. They all agreed I made a great choice! This precious house was perfect for a large group and is so utterly charming with the stone facade and fairytale windows. My grandsons thanked me for renting a Disney castle! The living spaces were perfect and ample, as was the beautiful kitchen where we all gathered in the mornings. All essential supplies were well stocked and that was much appreciated, the grounds and pool area are beyond lovely. In addition the beds were super comfortable (which prevented grumpy humans due to bad sleep!). Those of you who travel with large families know what I am talking about. If you are not familiar with the Carmel Valley area I will mention that the Valley is a perfect place for a quiet, tranquil stay. There is a strict noise ordinance in the Valley after 9:00pm or 10:00 (including at the wedding we attended) so this is not a place where you can come and party outside all night by the pool with loud music and laughter. (Just so you have a heads up before booking.) The LuxeVaca associates were great communicators before and during our stay, and I would not hesitate to book their houses available in other areas for future trips. I can tell they pride themselves on providing a top-notch luxury experience. Well done! - and thank you! ##### Kerri G. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024
