Dreaming of retiring to Carmel CA?  Well, who wouldn’t?  The Monterey Peninsula is a popular place to retire for many active seniors.  The decision to leave behind the crowded streets, parking problems, and the hectic lifestyle of more crowded places seems to be a “no brainer” for many.  Some retirees purchase a small home or condo, many times down-sizing from a large residence, or some choose one of the 55+ communities for active seniors in Carmel.

One of these communities is called Hacienda Carmel.  Located about one mile east of Highway One off of Carmel Valley Road, one can purchase a condominium for a very reasonable purchase price compared to the other properties for sale on the Monterey Peninsula.  This lovely community provides many amenities such as the  Clubhouse which is the hub of many activities  . . .

Thinking of Carmel? Stop the Car and check out this Carmel getaway!

 

NE Corner Torres and 9th, Carmel-by-the-Sea

One of the requests I hear often from folks that are looking for a Carmel getaway is, “We want to be able to walk to town.”  It’s no wonder that’s a frequent request, because Carmel is known as a charming village where residents can stroll to their favorite restaurant, take in a little wine tasting, or perhaps stop in at an art gallery opening.  If that is a desire of yours, look no more after you see this cozy vacation home today!  Three blocks from the heart of town, this residence is in a perfect location.

It would also make a perfect golf retreat to visit the Monterey Peninsula and play golf.  Don’t forget the AT&T Pro Am Golf Tournament is next week – wouldn’t it be delightful to have your own Carmel place to come to all of the wonderful events we have here?

Imagine sitting in this living room curled up with  a book in front of the fire.  Or perhaps entertaining friends and family and having a delicious meal.  This home has been rented out as a fully stocked vacation rental so if that is something you’re interested in, it’s already all set up.  Some owners love having a rental income part time and then they choose the times that they will be using the home and block out those weeks from the rental schedule.  There are many companies on the Monterey Peninsula that will handle all of the rentals for you so you have no headache!

Chris Botti at the Sunset Center ~ Carmel-By-The-Sea 1/29/17

Chris Botti will play to a SOLD OUT crowd at the Sunset Center Sunday evening.  Every year I have missed seeing him, but last time I swore that the next time he came back – I would be there!  So this time I bought tickets as soon as the announcement was made that he was coming.

So I will be there this weekend, head cold and all, but I wouldn’t miss it for anything.  Chris has become the largest-selling American instrumental artist and puts on a fabulous show.  He has four #1 jazz albums along with multiple Gold, Platinum, and Grammy awards.   My husband said, “You mean he’s just going to play the trumpet all night? ” I told him – “just you wait!”

We are so lucky to have such a fabulous venue like the Sunset Center here in Carmel.  Wonderful entertainment is brought here practically at our door step without having to travel to San Jose or San Francisco – although I love our trips into the City to see shows.

Hope to see many of you there Sunday night – but if not – next time rush to buy tickets as soon as he is announced – he’s a sell out every time he comes.

For a list of upcoming events at the Sunset Center this year go to their web site but be sure to get your tickets as soon as possible – the great acts sell out fast!

P.S. Post show.  The show was fantastic!! Not only was Chris Botti amazing, but the array of musicians and singers he assembled for the show was awesome!  Thanks for the video, Kim!
