About this property
Miles Away Carmel-by-the-Sea
Welcome to “miles away.” Built originally in 1947, our newly renovated 2-bedroom & 1-bathroom home in Carmel-by-the-Sea honors its history and design character and brings a modern element creating a light-filled, warm, and cozy space to connect with friends & family, or enjoy a slower life.
You’re a 15-minute walk to Carmel Beach, restaurants, shops and galleries in downtown. A short drive to Big Sur, 17 Mile Drive, Pebble Beach, Point Lobos, Monterey, Pacific Grove, Carmel Valley, and Seaside.
* KITCHEN & DINING *
The fully equipped kitchen with a large island for gathering comes with all new LG refrigerator/freezer, gas stove, oven, and dishwasher.

Coffee & tea too.
Kitchen countertops are leathered Nacarado quartzite, a natural stone known for its stunning colors and patterns. The leathering process allows one to feel the natural grains of the stone.

The kitchen faces West capturing the last rays of the sunset and connects to a back outdoor deck with a U-shaped bench surrounding a gas fire pit.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Iwona Maciasz
Welcome to “miles away” Carmel-by-the-Sea.
Our home was carefully, respectfully, and thoughtfully renovated by being as environmentally focused as possible. We reused and repurposed 90% of the existing materials which included the oak flooring, redwood interior wall panels and the existing redwood siding which was painted a light cream and mounted horizontally when we started the project. In addition, a solar panel roof system was installed lowering our energy consumption by 75%. Much consideration was given to capture the magic of the home and its site. The owners slept in the home for a year while swinging the hammer on the renovation, learning and discovering small pieces of what makes this place so special to us. In that time, we did our best to create an oasis we dreamed about for 30 years.
Homeowner and restaurateur Miles started his architectural career in Big Sur 30 years ago working for the Big Sur architectural legend Mickey Muennig while the Post Ranch Inn was being completed. Muennig’s lessons taught Miles to listen to the site and the home and to let their magic surface over time. Muennig’s inspiration and impact were infinite. We poured our souls and savings into this home and hope your life is enriched by being here to experience it and the nature that surrounds it. Carmel, Big Sur and the areas around it have always been our "peace". To have found this place and now built a home here fulfils a lifelong dream. Please tread lightly on the home as we hope she lasts a lifetime.
If you happen to visit Venice, California, please stop by our restaurant “wallflower” located on Rose Avenue. We would love to say hello to our guests!
