This home is a 1960's masterpiece, built to raise a family and entertain in one of the grandest locations of them all. With views of Stillwater bay and the surrounding carmel mountains, and literally a stone's throw from the Pebble Beach resort, you can't beat this location. Oh, and you can order room service from any of the restaurants at the lodge! But, what my family and I enjoyed the most was the home itself . Built with such space in every room that the concept of an open floor plan seems redundant, and instead every room provides a unique, but interconnected experience that was a treat for my family. - we particularly loved the padded reading benches in the bay windows throughout the house! My daughter is just over two years old and she was enamored with all of the beautiful double doors separating rooms... "hi!".. "goodbye!" she'd giggle-out while opening and closing them. We played a game with the swinging door between the butler's pantry and the dining room.. "oh, hi!!", "oh, goodbye!"... we'd laugh as we'd exchange places on either side of the door. My son is 7 months old and we were able to place him in the bedroom just off the master - and he slept well! Oh, and the TV has xfiinity, so we logged into Netflix and Amazon Prime and were able to watch movies with the kiddos when we needed a break. My wife and I enjoyed sitting outside in the evenings when the kiddos were asleep - the views and the large natural gas fire pit were awesome. World class food delivered by the Pebble Beach resort staff, (oh, and we brought some yummy wine, but could have ordered that as well!) was enough to make for a perfect night. One night it rained and we sat and played dominos inside on a family room table with a fire crackling along side us. Wonderful time. A couple of small tips - bring shampoo, for some reason we didn't seem to find any; oh, and bring a portable music player - jambox, sonos move, etc... we didn't find anything for indoor/outdoor sound. All in all, an amazing experience in an amazing house! ps - though I didn't play golf on this trip, I'm a golfer and I can't help but think this is the perfect house for a golfing trip (with or without families). I paid nearly as much last year for a room for my Dad and I at the Lodge off the 18th hole (note: currently torn down!)... the house is no-brainer comparitively... it's even closer to the lodge than our room was!
