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!

The kitchen has been beautifully remodeled and out fitted with all the necessary dishes and pots and pans.  So come on by today and see this lovely home and let’s chat about Carmel real estate!

AT&T Pro Am Golf Tournament 2017 ~ Pebble Beach CA

AT&T Pro Am Golf Tournament 2017 Feb 6th- 12th

SAVE THE DATE  Pebble Beach will soon be over run with thousands of golf enthusiasts ready to see some great golf and also catch a view of some of the celebrities that will be playing this  year.  190,000 spectators are expected to crowd into Pebble Beach in early February to see who will take the crown away from the defending champion, Vaughn Taylor.

Millions of TV viewers will also get the thrill of viewing the beautiful coastline of Pebble Beach as seen from the Goodyear Blimp – in addition to watching the professionals and celebrities maneuver the three courses where the tournament is played.  Spyglass Hill Golf Course is rated one of the toughest courses in the world, but the Monterey Country Club Shore Course and the Pebble Beach Golf Links thrill the golfers and spectators alike with the amazing views from those courses.

Huey Lewis

Many of the celebrities playing this year are the “usual suspects” like Huey Lewis, Kenny G, Andy Garcia, Wayne Gretzky, Chris O’Donnell, Justin Timberlake, Steve Young, Ray Romano and, of course, Bill Murray who somehow is able to do a comedy act while playing amazing golf.  Speaking of Ray Romano, in 2013 I had kind of a humorous exchange with Ray – check out my March 7,  2013 entry in my archives of this blog to read a funny story.

Bill Murray

My husband and I have been coming to the AT&T for many, many years – in fact, I came to the tournament more often when I lived in San Francisco.  Now I just like to catch some of the practice rounds.

As is tradition, I’m sure my husband and his friend Bob will be out on the course again this year.  They love to watch the practice rounds and then go play golf on one of the local courses.  So whether you go to the tournament or just watch it on TV – enjoy.  It’s  a great tournament that raises millions for local charities.

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!
