This was, I believe, our 4th time staying here, and simply put, if you find anyplace comparable or superior in Big Sur (that is actually for rent), please let me know! This is a superb place.

This is an amazing home with spectacular views. Host was very communicative when I had trouble checking in. Home is right in the heart of Big Sur and was easy to access state parks, trailheads and restaurants. If we ever come back to the area we will be sure to check this property out again.

We live in Carmel and dropped down the coast for a quick mid-week getaway. The property is amazing, its location facing the south coast ocean in the heart of Big Sur proper between Post Ranch and Nepenthe is ideal. The property was immaculate, comfortable, magical, capturing the essence of Big Sur in every way. The host was immediately responsive at every turn. Absolutely perfectly Big Sur!

Big Sur beauty

Our stay was awesome. The house was nice and clean, everything we needed. The bed's were very comfortable, furniture comfortable. The view from the deck was nothing less than spectacular. The fire pit was my favorite part.

Amazing house in best location

You come to Big Sur for the view and this house has one of the best. But there's more to the house than the view. Lovely pool, beautiful, comfortable furnishings and an extremely well kitted out kitchen made our stay amazing. Will definitely book again!
