"Pacific Zen"! This home sleeps up to 10 adults and 4 children. Situated in the Carmel Meadows area on the south end of Carmel along a secluded stretch of Carmel Bay with easy access to Ribera Beach, this 6 bedroom, 7.5 bath architectural masterpiece offers outstanding panoramic views of the ocean and nearby Point Lobos. Designed by acclaimed architect Daniel Piechota, who notably apprenticed with Mickey Muenning as a contributing architect for Post Ranch Inn. Exposed concrete walls, breath-taking wooden ceiling and walls of glass windows set this 8,300 sf home apart. Living Spaces Enter on the upper level and descend the first of two impressive staircases to reach the main level. The grand entrance with its soaring barrel-vaulted ceiling of Alaskan Yellow Cedar and towering walls of glass framing breathtaking views of the Point Lobos coastline make for the perfect setting for the open concept living and dining rooms. Two gas fireplaces are available to add ambience on cool nights. A lower-level, sunken family room has a TV, library and access to the back patio area. Also on the lower level is a Theater Room with a large projection screen and reclining sofas lined up on two levels. A nearby wet bar with ice maker, microwave and toaster oven is the perfect place to grab some snacks during the intermission. Kitchen and Dining The immaculate gourmet kitchen is set up for entertaining in style with a handsome paneled refrigerator with four separate freezer drawers, two islands, 2 sinks, a 6 burner stove top with grill and griddle features, double ovens and two warming drawers, not to mention another fridge out in the garage. An adjacent large round dining table seats 8+ and all these spaces enjoy panoramic ocean views through paneless floor-to-ceiling windows. The upper level deck has a view like no other and is full of lounge chairs that will draw you outside. A convenient half-bath is located near the upper level living spaces. Bedrooms and Bathrooms On the main living level, Bedroom #1 is a primary suite which shares the same west-facing stunning view and can be transformed into a cozy private escape with sliding doors. The suite contains a fireplace, an expansive closet and his and her bathrooms with showers. Also inside the suite is a workspace with a desk, desk chair and a twin daybed perfect for naps or a sleeping option for a child. Step out onto the small, protected courtyard near the kitchen to find the propane BBQ grill, a bistro table and two chairs, and find the separate entrance to two bedrooms. Bedrooms #2 and #3 each have a king bed and access to a Jack and Jill style bathroom with shower-over-soaking tub.

The house was as beautiful as it looked it in the pictures (maybe even more beautiful, if that’s possible), the easy beach access was perfect for the kids and quick trips throughout the day, the entire house was entertaining and unique. There is no better place to gather family for an extra special and fun time. We will absolutely be returning to this house and cannot wait. ##### Carly S.

Jan 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spectacular Stay in Carmel We booked this property for a family trip and it over exceeded our expectations. The view alone is reason enough to book this property. Then add in all of the other factors like the stunning architecture of the home, amazing layout, well equipped and open kitchen, movie theater and the location of the house is in such close proximity to town, you can't go wrong. We appreciated that the kitchen was well stocked so we were able to prepare a lot of meals there and we also liked how comfortable the beds were and there were plenty of towels and supplies to get us through the week. Would highly recommend staying here! ##### Caitlin M. Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael T.

I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The pictures do not do this house or its views justice. Our family of 12 absolutely loved Pacific Zen! It was perfect in every way. The views are spectacular and the home is well thought out with ample room for all. Having beach access from that backyard was the icing on the cake. Everything was clean and just as it appears in the listing, only better. If I had to nitpick, I would just comment that all of the pillows in the bedrooms could be softer and note that it doesn’t seem that the AC in the bunk room cools. The temperature was fine but it would have been nice to cool it further at night. These are just very minor details though considering how wonderful everything else was. At the title states, Pacific Zen was a huge success and we look forward to returning in the future! ##### Anamarie T. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Frank B. Jan 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Stunning The property was exactly as described. Beautiful views from all over the home. Layout is great with ample separation between bedrooms and a centrally located chefs' kitchen, location was convenient yet far enough to feel like we got away. We traveled with all adults this trip, but would even consider renting the property again with kids/families. Check in was easy, communication was open although we didn't need much while we were there, if we did need something surely it would have been taken care of. Highly recommended! ##### Frank B.

We stay all over the world in rental homes and this is equal to any we’ve stayed in.

I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Fabulous setting and a very spacious home for a family of twelve including four kids.We would return for its unique location and fortunate to have found a six bedroom home with seven baths for privacy of our invited guests.We are also very fortunate to have selected this home as opposed to our alternative in Big Sur which was not accessible due to the closure of US 101.Thank you for this memorable experience.Suggestion, block a day between rentals for thorough cleaning and set-up as this large facility cannot be cleaned in eight hours by two housekeepers as currently done.The services do not correspond to the amenities and the setting.Services in CA is a huge challenge due to scarcity and the high cost of labor and you are exposed to it.Increase your rental price to pay for services.Thank you. ##### Sanjay V. ### 10/10 Excellent #### George E.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I was traveling with my family of 5 and wanted a different experience than staying in a hotel, so we rented Pacific Zen. We loved the views and the location. The home is very spacious with more than enough rooms. We enjoyed cooking in the gourmet kitchen, taking walks on the beach and watching movies in the theater. By the end of our trip, it was clear to everyone that we wouldn't have had the same experience with everyone staying in a separate room at a hotel. ##### James G. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bryan W.
