the day shopping for that special art glass piece in charming Cambria.
If you choose a more RELAXED vacation, sit on the built-in benches
and 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 or perhaps a hangglider before he lands below.
Birdwatch local favorites at the feeders from the comfort of the
sectional. If you are very lucky, you might go eyeball-to-eyeball
with a magnificent California Condor.You may also catch glimpses of
native wildlife such as racoon, foxes, bobcats, etc.(Big Sur Coast

Chefs can try out their bbq skills on the outdoor kitchen/patio
with top of the line stainless steel grill and sideburner. After
dinner, relax in the hot tub while listening to the surf and sea lions
below and enjoy a spectacular sunset. When darkness descends,
watch the Milky Way appear with no city lights to compete.
The cabin has a 40" flat screen tv with high definition
programming to ensure you don't miss your favorite tv programs. If
you prefer, choose a DVD from the small in-house selection or bring
your own favorites.
Too active? Just do nothing but enjoy being here.

discovering a new author from the small on-site library.

Warm energy..

Natalie, Francis and Irene (San Diego, Calif.)
Review submitted: February 1, 2012   Date of arrival: January 12, 2010

A superb home which transports you beautifully into the serenity of Big Sur. The cabin is filled with warm energy and has everything you need. Bring food and wine and don't start your car for a week! It is well worth it! Thank you kindly again for an amazing, life rejuvenating trip!

Amazing MLK weekend

Jave (San Francisco, CA)
Review submitted: January 25, 2012   Date of arrival: January 14, 2012

We spent a January weekend and despite the cooler (50s and 60s) temperatures, Big Sur was the most unbelievable place we had ever been. The pictures in the posting and even the ones we took don't do justice how great the rental's appearance, amenities, and views are.

The listing description was extremely accurate and we were completely prepared by the owner for everything (including the dirt road leading to the cabin as well the limited grocery options available nearby.) The property was clean and extremely well-maintained. I recommend this property to anyone and will most certainly be bringing my parents there when they visit California this upcoming summer.

The cooking amenities at the cabin are extremely good and we cooked our own meals for breakfast and dinner both days. Just remember that there are no full grocery options for at least an hour and a half coming from the north Monterrey/Carmel is the last place to get whatever you need to get especially for grilling and fresh vegetables. Restaurants are not plentiful in the area, but for a good beer we'd recommend the Big Sur taphouse about 30 miles north. Gorda was expensive but the staff was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly.

San Dollar Beach is unbelievably beautiful and we'd also recommend Jade Beach. Otherwise just pulling over at turnouts and hiking to the ocean is just amazing.

An overall great time and look forward to going back! If you want to be around lots of people, human structures, and staff waiting on you, this is not the place to go. But if you want nature's greatest creations, peacefulness, the sound of the ocean putting you to sleep, and to enjoy those things in a house/cabin with a full kitchen, plumbing, and electrical outlets, this should be your number 1 choice.

Our Best California Memory

Cliff (Virginia Beach, VA)
Review submitted: April 1, 2011   Date of arrival: January 11, 2010

We flew to San Francisco in Jan 2010 with two of our best friends from college (left the kids behind with grandparents) & took a week driving down the Pacific Coast on the trip of a lifetime.

By far, our best memory of the vacation was the two nights we spent in the Big Sur Coast Cabin.

As other reviewers have mentioned, definitely read the very accurate online description before renting...but if the description sounds appealing, YOU MUST STAY AT THIS PLACE!

The views are beyond imagination, it feels like you have the entire California coast to yourself, and the amenities of the property will not disappoint. Make sure to stay long enough to do some local hiking (www.hikinginbigsur.com), and be sure to visit Sunset Beach & Salmon Creek as well.

My only regrets are that we couldn't have stayed longer, that we live on the opposite side of the United States from the place, and that it took me so long to write a review!

We will be back...I promise. This is one of those experiences that lingers in your memory for a long, long time (it's been over a year & I still think about it often).
