Easy access to Big Sur and Carmel.

It is adjacent to the Artist's Treehouse Apartment #290731 and lends itself as the place for the kids or another couple vacationing together, BUT– in their own place!

My Artist's Treehouse and Artist's Library couple-size apartments are at the top of the most popular in the Carmel/Monterey Peninsula area. Experience them.

Cozy and Warm

I really enjoyed staying at Desiree's home. The Library was full of books—even the kitchenette cabinets were full of 'em! And Desiree was really welcoming. I'd stay there again!

About the host

Hosted by Desiree

I am a full time artist making illuminated shell sculpture and lampshades from natural seashells. I've been crafting my pieces since 1974. I still find them absolutely beautiful. Then there's the gardens– when I need a work break I snip and pluck, rake and squirt. Sadly, as much as I love to squirt water– I shouldn't be living in California!!

Why they chose this property

It suits me completely! When I first saw this house 40 yrs ago. It had just the kind of potential and bones I wanted in a house... plus a killer view. I couldn't believe it. And immediately bought it.

What makes this property unique

–MONTEREY BAY AQUARIUM is the #1 attraction in Monterey County. I have no free passes.
–WINE TASTING is big here because we have such an excellent wine growing appellation– ask me about the 20+ Tasting Rooms within a mile.
–WILD TURKEYS and deer heavily populate the area and are wonderful to observe.
–FIND AN INTERESTING BOOK and read it while you're here. Ask me for recommendations and tell me where your interests lie. But leave the books where you found them when you depart.
