About this house rental
We are still following the CDC Covid-19 guidelines for sanitizing between guests.
Located just three minutes by car off of Carmel Valley Road, the house is a brisk twenty minute walk into Carmel Valley Village and a leisurely twenty minute drive into Carmel-by-the-Sea!
‘Life is Good’ is located in a very quiet neighborhood and we like it that way:) The house is not suited for parties due to the noise factor.
Parking limited to three cars.
We are pet friendly.
$75.00 fee for dogs/cats. Pets may Not be left alone in the rental.
The yard is not fully-fenced. Dogs must stay on lead or respond to voice command. No roaming off-property. The house has no a/c! ‘Master’ bedroom: New firm, queen mattress, foam topper. Preparing for sleep, the sky offers you views of the moon as it glides across the sky.
The upstairs bathroom, shower/tub, has a glass-bloc wall allowing the sun to shine in while ensuring complete privacy.
The second upstairs bedroom is roomy and bright with tall windows facing west and north. Queen bed w/new firm mattress.
Walking downstairs, linger a moment on the landing to enjoy the exquisite tile work while looking out the window on the east for wildlife sightings! You might just see a pair of intelligent animal eyes peeking back at you!
The downstairs bedroom with private access to the bathroom, has a queen bed (soft) and french doors leading to the patio.
The downstairs bathroom, accessible from the bedroom or the living area, is decorated with tiles hand-crafted by local artisans.
The kitchen offers a gas stove/oven, refrigerator w/ice maker, microwave, toaster, dishwasher, blender and has a washer/dryer in the pantry. Plates, bowls, utensils, pots and pans, cutlery ~ everything one might need to make their stay here as comfortable as possible are provided.
Sit inside or enjoy dining al fresco on the patio. Fire up the propane BBQ while feasting your senses on the views, the colors, the sounds and the smells of the canyon while enjoying homemade fare.
Food take-out suggestions: Trailside Cafe, Kathy's Little Kitchen, Thai Village, Running Iron, Rustica Cafe, Los Laureles Lodge, to name a few!
Local art galleries including CVAA and Patricia Qualls are gaining international attention. Carmel Valley Village has a motorcycle museum and the Carmel Valley History Museum; check website(s) for hours. Laguna Seca-Mazda Raceway/Recreational area is 9.8 mi. away (15 minutes). Carmel Beach and River Mouth Beach are approximately 25 minutes by car. Asilomar Beach and Steinbeck's Cannery Row in Pacific Grove are 40 minutes away.

The beauty and quiet of the grounds and neighborhood are unbeatable. The bed and linens beyond comfortable and communication quick and efficient. A great place to stay.

Life is Good was everything it was advertised to be and more. This is an incredibly beautiful home in an amazingly peaceful place. Kathy communicates with you every step of the way. She provides everything you could need, from shampoo to laundry pods,barbeque tools to brochures of places of interest in the area. Cheese, crackers, and grapes were waiting for us along with a dish of chocolates as well as chocolates on our pillows. The only things Kathy asked us to do before leaving were to strip the beds, load and run the dishwasher, and turn out all lights. I am so glad we opted to stay here with our family instead of a motel. After action packed days in Monterey, it was nice to come "home" to this Zen home in the tree tops.

We rented the VRBO for our children they are our adult children and they liked the decorations but the beds were uncomfortable and the experience wasn’t pleasant for them in fact one couple left early and we were all disappointed that they didn’t enjoy the atmosphere more
