THE GALLERY HOUSE - A Sanctuary by the Sea
Enjoy the beauty of Big Sur in this unique redwood, rock & glass oceanfront cliff-side Guesthouse, that is embraced by tall cypress and Monterey pines, on a gently sloping rolling green lawn to the Pacific’s edge.
This Guesthouse consists of a living/dining room, kitchen, one bedroom and a bathroom with shower & dressing room attached. The bedroom is a perfect couples romantic getaway for 2, with its queen size bed and ocean view, or use the single size sofa bed in the living room and the queen bed in the bedroom for 2 friends.
Spend time with your sweetheart in a special place for just the two of you. Come renew your love in the perfect romantic anniversary spot. Reconnect with an old friend in our natural environment. Or perhaps you just need time alone, away from it all in a place of quiet peace and great beauty.
Relax by the fire, enjoy the chaise lounges on the sun-drenched southwest facing stone patio with fantastic ocean views. We also are just over a mile away from the famed Esalen Institute for hot springs bathing, workshops, and their world renowned massage treatments. Enjoy the many galleries, shops & cafes nearby.
Or perhaps you will want to just unwind in nature enjoying the dolphins dancing off the coast or the seasonal passage of the whales. Sit on the bench at the cliff edge and delight in the sea otters playing below as the hawks and often condors soar high above.
Unplug from the cell phone and the computer and simply relax, renew, reflect and retreat in this stunning location in Big Sur with nearby hiking trails, galleries and fine dining for your enjoyment. A perfect place for a personal retreat, meditating, practicing yoga, reading, creating art, writing poetry or allowing your next book to flow through you.
A FEW DETAILS
On your way here, enjoy the drive on beautiful Highway One with it's scenic turnouts, beaches and state parks along the way. We suggest you stop in the lovely 2 small towns in either direction, that's Carmel or Cambria, to shop for groceries and gas before driving down or up the coast, as Big Sur has only a few places for these, and you will want to stock up before your trip.
Owned by 2 artists & meditators, the energy here is very inspiring for artists, writers, poets, meditators, couples or friends, as mentioned above. Enjoy the owners artworks of photography, paintings, & collages. This land was considered a sacred site by the ancient Esselen Indian tribe, and we ask that you honor the feeling of this land as a wonderful sanctuary retreat, not suited for parties, only quiet ADULTS!

This property is amazing! It was so beautiful to sit in many of the locations around the house to take in the awesome views. Even when it was foggy - the house was so cozy and warm to sit and read your book. We wish we didn't have to leave. Thank you so much!
Rustic, charming and oh so peaceful. Surrounded by such beauty and the sounds of the ocean I could feel the stress peeling away with my first deep inhale. I found everything that I needed. I hope to return!
Absolutely terrible! Do not stay here. Owner is a bit extreme, wants your whole life story and enough information and waivers in case you die because it is falling off the cliff, covered in mold and I couldn’t breathe upon entering. I’m also a certified mold remediation technician for all 50 states and this place is disgusting!
Absolutely a magical romantic stay. The views from this cottage were some of the most beautiful sceneries me and my fiancé have seen. we book Oceanside stays at least once a month in different places. We most definitely will be returning to this cottage in the near future. Cynthia and Daniel with the most kindest host we’ve ever encountered. Period.This is the spot
This was just what the doctor ordered! What a peaceful place with the cutest, coziest cabin! Cynthia and Daniel were wonderful hosts - easy to reach and so helpful with the questions we had. The power went out and my husband requires it for his CPAP to sleep - they offered us another place to stay if we needed it! Absolutely recommend and we'll be back!

About the host
Hosted by Owners
We are 2 artists living and working in Big Sur for nearly 40 years. We teach workshops at nearby Esalen Institute in art, photography, dance, meditation and unfolding one's intuition. We both exhibit our art in local Big Sur & Carmel galleries, and are in museum and private collections worldwide. We love living and creating on this property!
Why they chose this property
There is no other place like Big Sur in the world, with it's breathtaking beauty & it's natural environment. We have some of the worlds greatest & most inspiring teachers, thinkers, artists, writers, poets and illuminaries living here or who have lived here or passed through. The local people, like a tribe of creative individuals, really know how to live life as human 'beings', rather than human doings. The land calls to us in her quiet spiritual whispers, where One can slow down and appreciate the simplicity of just BEING. We feel blessed everyday and are so very grateful to own and live on this property here in God's most magnificent creation!
What makes this property unique
It's all been said above, just leave the world behind and find a sanctuary for the soul here in an environment of a beauty that is beyond words.
