We encourage you to come, stay & PLAY (5 days gives you a good TASTE of Carmel, Big Sur, & Monterey!) Zero-pressure! (But we want you to see why we fell in love with this incredible area, Carmel is so romantic & Big Sur is considered one of the prettiest coastlines on our earth!) PLEASE NOTE: Hotel options are filling up fast as this is Carmel's prettiest time of year...best to book a room SOON! (75 percent booked as of 8-8-20) FLYING: MONTEREY AIRPORT: A small airport & just a 10 minute drive to Carmel. There are car rental companies at Monterey Airport or you can uber to your hotel (about $20) SAN JOSE AIRPORT: About an 1 hour and 45 minutes away. You'll be adding 3 plus hours on once you get a rental car. Alternatively, a shuttle is available to Carmel.
