Gracious 2-bedroom Pebble Beach Home in Quiet, Convenient Wooded Area

Property Characteristics
The guest house is located about a half mile from the Highway 1 gate to Pebble Beach. It is a two bedroom, two bathroom house with a gas-log fireplace and large television in the living room, a completely equipped kitchen with gas stove and a bright dining room looking out at the beautifully landscaped front yard. A well-stocked library provides a retreat for quiet relaxation. An abundance of art decorates the walls in every room. The house is well equipped with Wi-Fi connection, cable and streaming services via Xfinity. USB and electrical plug connection are scattered around the house.

Central Location
Although tucked away in a quiet neighborhood, the Costado House is convenient to virtually everything visitors love about the Monterey Peninsula. The house is about one mile from downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea and the same distance from Fisherman’s Wharf in Monterey. The center of Pacific Grove is about two miles away. Major shopping centers – Crossroads and Del Monte – close by. Carmel Valley Village is only about 11 miles away and Laguna Seca Race track is about 9 miles.

Wine tasting and Restaurants
The Monterey Peninsula is known for a very wide selection of good to very good restaurants and dozens of tasting rooms featuring wines and olive oils made locally and in nearby wine growing regions of California. There are about 20 tasting rooms just up the road in Carmel Valley Village and more in downtown Carmel. There are also several notable restaurants nearby.

Sporting Activities
The main sporting activities available in this area are golf, hiking, biking, sailing, scuba diving and ocean kayaking. The signature sport of the Monterey Peninsula is golf. More than a dozen golf courses await, among them the famous courses of Pebble Beach including Pebble Beach, Spyglass Hill, Poppy Hills and Spanish Bay, all accessible to the public. Many other challenging and scenic courses are also available – Black Horse and Bayonet, Quail Lodge, Del Monte, Laguna Seca, Carmel Valley Ranch, Pasadera and Corral De Tierra are all within about a 20 minute drive from the house.

Shopping
Carmel-by-the-Sea is shopping central, specializing in art from both local and international artists, with clothing stores, many specialty stores and dozens of restaurants. Del Monte Center in Monterey features a number of national brand stores as well as a multiplex theater and several restaurants. The Barnyard and Crossroads shopping areas, both at the mouth of the valley, are about 10-15 minutes from the house.

Special Events
As a vacation destination, Monterey is also host to a large number of special events every year. The annual AT&T golf tournament always attracts top players and the US Open is played periodically at the Pebble Beach venues. The Monterey Jazz Festival, the motorcycle Gathering at Quail Lodge and several other festivals take place throughout the year. The Big Sur Marathon attracts some of the best runners in the world. Possibly the best known event is the Pebble Beach Concourse D ’Elegance and auction. Through the years so many other car events have been added at venues around the Peninsula that locals now speak of “CAR WEEKS,” which features some six or seven important auctions, specialized single-make car shows and the Historic Races at Laguna Seca featuring the beautiful race cars of the post-war era.
