My Monterey Bay Homes http://www.mymontereybayhomes.com/blog Real Estate The Simple Way Mon, 02 Jun 2008 21:04:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 en Day of Enjoyment in Pebble Beach! http://www.mymontereybayhomes.com/blog/?p=6 http://www.mymontereybayhomes.com/blog/?p=6#comments Mon, 02 Jun 2008 20:07:17 +0000 Tina Carpenter http://www.mymontereybayhomes.com/blog/?p=6 Yesterday, I took the day off and went to The Spa in Pebble Beach. This is the best way to pamper yourself; really there is just nothing else like it. The faculties are phenomenal and include separate his and her areas with hot tubs, steam rooms, saunas & inhalation rooms plus the co-ed area, conservatory with new oval room that is heated by the gas log fire pit. Staffing is exceptional. From the moment you walk in the door tranquility will embrace you.

Here are five things to make your day amazing:

  1. Check schedules-make sure there is not a big function going on in Pebble Beach. Mid-week and Sundays seem to be the least crowded.
  2. Arrive early- make a day of it; the price of your treatment includes use of all the facilities.
  3. Order lunch when you arrive- request your lunch at a specific time and have it served in the conservatory on a cool day or out by the pool when the sun is shining. The fruit platter is to die for!!!
  4. Afternoon tea or coffee-you can ask for a cup of tea or coffee at no charge and if you are really nice you will even be offered a swanky piece of chocolate.
  5. When getting a massage ask for-James if you like a deep tissue massage or Tisa if you like to fall asleep.

Hacienda Carmel

1.   Sense of community- This community has 300 units that are filled with peoples, people. Friendly faces are everywhere.

2.   Association takes care of it all- Yours dues include your electricity, gas, water, trash and all outside building maintenance (termite work and roof). It also includes your furnace and water heater.

3.   Amenities/Activities- Amenities abound; walking trail, pool, workout room, putting green, restaurant, library and clubhouse. There are many clubs including the garden club, the men’s club, bridge and more. Something for everyone. Oh, I almost forgot the doctor and hairdresser!

4.   Animal Friendly- Yes! You can keep your dogs or cats. You know Carmel…we love our animals.

5.   Sunny- Most importantly it is sunny most of the time. Even when that pesky coastal fog rolls in Hacienda is one of the first places to see our precious sun.

Hacienda Carmel is a community for people over the age of 55. It offers an enjoyable solution for those wanting to “down space”. Visit their website at www.haciendacarmel.us

My son who is my website guru has been on my case about blogging “Mom, it’s not that hard; it is good for your site”. Etcetera, Etcetera. So here I am at the crack of dawn on a Saturday struggling to figure out what I can write that anyone would be interested in reading. I guess I have always had a lot to say so this is as good a place as any to say it. I can always find something in our unique area to write about. I hope that you will find my entries helpful and fun. Yeah, I finally did it!!!
