Villa in Carmel

La Ballena

From the sweep of the California coast out to Point Lobos to the Arts and Crafts architecture and bright modern interiors, everything at La Bellena seems crafted to fulfill your beach vacation dreams. It starts with the location in Carmel, close enough to the ocean that you can hear the waves crash and just a short drive from the area’s best beaches and golf. It continues with sophisticated, nautical inspired details in the chic interiors. Invite up to eight friends or family to this three-bedroom luxury property—and help their holiday dreams come true, too. Set just above the water, this next-to-oceanfront vacation rental invites you to enjoy the spectacular setting. The terraces beckon with loungers, a barbecue and a firepit, so you can comfortably bask in the sun or gaze at the stars. Lighten the mood for a special occasion or an evening of entertaining by flipping on the sound system and gas fireplace. La Bellena pairs classic beach-house style with considered practical details. Laid out parallel to the coast so there are views from nearly every room, the villa sits above a convenient pull-through garage. The focal point is a gorgeous great room with a beamed ceiling, windows lining two sides and fresh white paneling. Claim a seat on the sectional at one end, one of the cognac-hued Wassily chairs, or in the beautiful leather dining chairs at the central table. Open shelving and a butcherblock breakfast bar add warmth and texture to the on-trend, fully equipped white kitchen. Each of the villa’s three bedrooms is its own private retreat. With a queen bed, en-suite bathroom, gas fireplace, terrace access and ocean views, the master bedroom is as luxe as any honeymoon suite. The other two bedrooms also have queen beds, ocean views and access to the terrace; one has an en-suite bath and the other shares a bathroom. For larger parties, La Bellena also has a space with a daybed, bunk bed and shared bathroom. If you can tear yourself away from the views and terrace, the California coast near Carmel is wonderful for exploring. There are three beaches within a 10-mile drive, or you can wind your way up the coast to the famous cliffs at Big Sur. Long home to writers, artists and other creative types drawn in by the landscape, the picturesque village of Carmel-by-the-Sea is a great place to stop for local fare and charming scenery. Golfers won’t want to miss the world-class courses at Pebble Beach, and even non-golfers can visit the courses to admire the views from the fairways. Copyright © Luxury Retreats. All rights reserved.

Hygge House

Nestled into the verdant landscape of Carmel Valley, this modern oasis exudes a sought-after, tranquil energy that an escape to the country requires. Staying true to its name, the home emulates the cozy, convivial contentment that hygge is associated with. Catch a vivid California sunset as you gather around the crackling outdoor fire pit or sink into the bubbling hot tub as the stars shimmer. Generously spread out over a single level, vaulted timber beam ceilings tower overhead in the lofty, open-concept space. A multitude of windows ensure that the interior is drenched in rays of golden light during the day. Warm touches like knitted throws, furry rugs, and warm wooden accents detail the design scheme. Sliding glass doors at the edge of the living room open onto the patio and expansive outdoor area where views of the neighboring mountains soar. The gourmet kitchen features a large island countertop—perfect for meal prep—that doubles as a breakfast bar; why not switch things up and enjoy your first coffee of the morning under the shade of the vine-covered trellis? The vibrant media room, complete with teal-hued walls and a plush honey-coloured couch, invites the whole crew to curl up with a favorite flick. Craving a connection to nature? A network of hiking trails interlace in Garland Ranch Regional Park. A fun-filled afternoon can be spent touring a local vineyard, saddling up for a horseback ride at a nearby equestrian center, or simply curling up with a book in your own backyard.
