Location: Big Sur, Central Coast, California, USA (Above Plaskett Creek Campground on Scenic Highway 1)
Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms, 1.5+ Baths (Sleeps 6)
Located in some of California's most rugged and breathtaking scenery, the cabin is situated 650 feet above the Big Sur coastline (Gorda-Lucia area). One can enjoy a fifty-mile panoramic view from Cape San Martin to Point Sur. This very private cabin overlooks Jade Cove where some of the world's most exquisite jade has been found.
If you choose an ACTIVE vacation, Sand Dollar Beach is 5 minutes away where beachcombing, surfing and picnicking are available. Numerous hiking opportunities abound in the adjoining Los Padres National Forest. Within an hour's drive or less, one can visit The Hermitage, Nepenthe, Elephant Seal Beach, Esalen Institute, Big Sur Village, Julia Pfeiffer, Andrew Molera and Limekiln State Parks to mention a few highlights.
Tour world famous Hearst Castle then spend the day shopping for that special art piece in charming Cambria. In less than an hour and a half drive you can visit Mission San Antonio or enjoy wine tasting in Paso Robles wine country.
If you prefer a more RELAXED vacation, enjoy the expansive view of the ever-changing Pacific from either of two decks. Catch a glimpse of Grey or Humpback whales, dolphins, flocks of wild pigeons, boats, or perhaps a hang-glider before he lands below.
Catch some rays on the built-in sun bench or take a dip in the hot tub while watching awesome sunsets. Soak in the hot tub and listen to the surf and sea lions below. Wildlife is as close as the gardens. Big Sur Coast Cabin is a certified Backyard Wildlife Habitat site.
Relax on the sectional and birdwatch through the windows for local favorites at the feeders. If you are very lucky, you might see a magnificent California Condor at eyeball-to-eyeball level. And when total darkness decends, sit on the deck and watch the Milky Way appear with no city lights to compete.
Chefs can try their skills on the newly completed outdoor kitchen/patio with top of the line stainless steel grill and sideburner.Gather round the new firepit(May expected date of completion) after dinner and lose your thoughts in the fire's glow.
Still too active? Relax, do nothing but enjoy being here. Satellite TV (new 40" flat screen High Definition) ensures that no one has to miss their favorite TV programs. You may wish to bring your favorite DVD's or CD's to enjoy with that favorite novel. Forget that novel? Find a new author from the small in-house library. For that extra special vacation, treat yourself to an in-house massage by a licensed massage therapist. Reservations can be made for you.

Such a beautiful getaway! It was just the break we needed from San Francisco. Solitaire was quite the popular game and we got it down to one marble! Thanks again so much and we will be back soon! (P.S. More photos of this gorgeous rental would triple your business!!) Cheers,
