My husband and I had a private wedding with the county clerk and wanted a little mini honeymoon to celebrate. Judy's place was absolutely perfect! We arrived and immediately enjoyed the breathtaking views of Monterey Bay. The pool house was an incredible spa like experience. It was one of my main reasons for booking this place and I was not disappointed. I think a lot of people come and use this place as a sort of landing spot to explore the area. That is an excellent plan, don't get me wrong, but we really treasured spending a lot of time on the estate soaking it all in, relaxing in the jacuzzi, and grilling our food on the back deck. It was so romantic, and the perfect little honeymoon to celebrate our mini wedding (our real wedding won't be for quite a while but we aren't ones to miss an opportunity to celebrate!).
We did decide to go hiking in Nisene Marks Park, and Judy thoughtfully provided us with a map. We had an incredible beach day in Monterey, which was an easy 45 minute drive away. Chatting with Peter about creating an incredible life (so perfect when we were just starting ours together), getting a tour of the wine cellar, and chatting with Judy while she took some sweet vineyard photos for us as a married couple were other highlights that made our stay magical. We loved the complimentary estate bottled wine as well and took one home as a souvenir. I think many people leave this place planning their next visit, and we are no exception!
