Beautiful property, excellent location

Our family had an absolutely fantastic stay here! The property was gorgeous with an awesome location, close to Monterey, Carmel and Laguna Seca. The common areas are relaxing with beautiful views and the bedrooms are large and private (master bedroom ocean view is stunning). The kitchen was well equipped and a great gathering spot. The property manager, Cheryl, was responsive, friendly and extremely helpful. The koi and local wildlife were great to watch, and the beach right across the road made for a lovely stroll. We will be back!

Spectacular setting and artfully appointed

We spent a wonderful Christmas week 2016 here with another family. The house is immaculate and appointed with interesting art reflecting the travels of its owner. The ambience is comfortable and contemporary with Asian architectural accents. The kitchen was well stocked with as beautiful a view of the ocean as the main living areas. The beach is just outside the back gate. The house is spacious with plenty of room for everyone to have their own space as well as come together. Beds were good quality and with the guest house, if you rent it also, it is like a private compound. The visiting herons were an unexpected point of natural interest. And our younger family members enjoyed the outdoor jacuzzi. The house is inspiring and the construction was not a problem for us. Edward and the staff who maintain the house do a wonderful job of making sure guests have what they need. We will be back!

Spectacular Property

We have stayed here multiple times. One of the most scenic spots in the world and the views from the property are spectacular. Kitchen is amazing. Everything you would need. Each of the four rooms is distinct and separate from the others for privacy. The property manager is a joy to work with. It doesn't get any better than this.

Views from Koketsu are even better than pictured. What a fantastic spot to spend a week, or more. Michael is very fortunate to have a superb house manager, Cheryl, who meets our every need seamlessly. Wonderful dining in Carmel, with accommodations that were outstanding.

Beautiful Zen Home & Perfect Getaway!

My family and I had a wonderful and magical 2018 holiday stay at the Koketsu house. The house is unique, one of the most beautiful homes at which I have ever stayed. The Japanese-inspired house is a short walking distance to the beach, and close to the Pebble Beach Golf Courses. My family enjoyed cooking meals in its well-equipped kitchen, and most of the house has wide windows, overlooking at the fantastic views of the ocean; from the house, one can hear the ocean crashing upon the shore, and sometimes even barking seals. I also liked the no-shoes in the house policy. In the front courtyard there is a large Zen garden, koi pond with friendly fishes, and a hot tub on the side of the house. There are three other suites in the household, detached but accessible to the main house. These rooms are like hotel suites, equipped with kitchenette and private bathrooms. The house is furnished in a tasteful orientalism contemporary style, with all the amenities. The master bedroom has a gorgeous view of the ocean and a sunken Japanese tub, and the stone flooring underneath heats from below. When I saw the house in person, it was better than I expected, and you won’t be disappointed if you rent this place.

Fantastic home in fantastic location

We have stayed here on several occasions and it never fails to deliver. Comfortable and well kept; well managed; great location and scenery; and usually perfect weather. Close to all the Pebble Beach public amenities such as golf and food and beverage and not far from Carmel and Pacific Grove with day trips to Big Sur accessible. It does not allow shoes because they scratch the wooden floor. Keep it nice and clean for others.

One of a kind

It's hard to post a review that adds something to the previous reviews of this property--all are five star reviews and all are spot on. The combination of spectacular ocean views, nearly perfect weather, upscale local amenities, and the unique and calming Japanese influenced architecture make it a terrific overall experience. (Throw in a few barking seals for ambience.) Well managed and well maintained, it's perfect for three to four couples and is highly accessible to some of the greatest golf courses anywhere, plus terrific dining options a short drive away. As good as it gets.
