Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set behind the gates of 17-Mile Drive, the estate borders the first and second fairways of Pebble Beach Golf Links.
The rooms
Fireplaces warm every room, while select ground-floor suites open onto enclosed patios with private whirlpool spas.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The pool and spa
A heated swimming pool rests in the terracotta courtyard, steps from the adjacent spa's hydrotherapy rooms.
At the table
Complimentary evening cordials and hors d'oeuvres are poured at the lounge bar, beside tables set by the hearth.
How it began
Built as a private Spanish Colonial estate in 1927, the home was reimagined as an intimate coastal retreat in 1999.
