About this property

Big Sur-Style Lodge in Carmel - PANORAMIC VIEWS! Hot-Tub, Game Room/Pool & Dogs

  • Provisional Monterey STR Permit #: VR250211
    Welcome to our beautiful, dog-friendly, contemporary Big Sur-Style Lodge Home in Carmel with amazing UNOBSTRUCTED 180-degree views of Carmel Valley, Carmel Bay including Monastery and Carmel River Beaches, Point Lobos and the Pacific Ocean. PRIVACY! These views overlook a canopy of trees with virtually no direct view of other houses and no power lines! This warm and comfortable home is 3,200 sf with 4 large bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms - two are Primary-Suites! It has EVERYTHING for a vacation or retreat including a Hot-Tub and a Fire-Table with seating to enjoy the night sky. The additional first floor unit has been added to the listing for 2026 and the property now includes a NEW Game Room with pool table, ping-pong, air hockey, Darts, TV, lounge area with a wet bar/ kitchenette as well as the 4th bedroom and 4th full bathroom.

    Floor-to-ceiling Picture Windows frame spectacular views from the Living Room. All 4 bedrooms have glass sliding doors with access to the wrap around deck on the main floor. The Upstairs Master Suite has sweeping views of the valley, Point Lobos and ocean from the queen-sized bed, and even the bathroom has a picture window with views from the shower & toilet. Sleep under the Redwoods in the spacious 425 sf Cabin Suite. It has an en-suite with it's own bar sink, microwave and bathroom. The kitchen table can be changed for a sleeper-futon on request for a small family to share the space. It has access to it's own outdoor space or the 'mid-deck' with a table and 2 chairs. The 3rd guest bedroom 'Deep Blue' is adjacent to the main bathroom and has a queen bed, desk, 2 chairs, full-sized washer and dryer and sliding doors to the deck with Green Belt views. The ground floor has lots of windows and natural sunlight and offers the 4th "First Floor Suite", also with a view of Point Lobos from bed. The Hot Tub is on the ground floor deck with a fenced in garden area, fire-table and outdoor lounge area. Each room has its own original character while still blending with the Big Sur-style Lodge.

    The front Orange door welcomes you as you enter the house into the upper Office/Den Loft with full office desk, with a copier/printer and shredder, a 2nd writing desk and large coffee table perfect for puzzles and games. It has a queen-sleeper couch. Well behaved dogs are welcome and there is a generous fenced in dog-run. This newly renovated home* is a dedicated Vacation Rental. It is fresh, clean and uncluttered with an updated Big Sur lodge influence.

    We've got the VIEWS on Crestview that is right off Hwy 1 and an easy 1 mile from the quintessential Village of Carmel-by-the-Sea. Though we need to "batten down the hatches" and clear furniture from the decks when BIG STORMS arrive, you can enjoy the storm and the white water 'sprays' from the bay below from the view inside the house. Installation of New Solar Panels and Solar Batteries help to keep the power on during storms as the forest + rain + wind can mean prolonged power outages here in Carmel. Follow along Mother Nature's show and the powerful wind gusts with the house's weather station and stay safe and cozy with the fireplace to "weather the storm". Big Sur-Style Lodge is perfect for a Vacation or remote Work/ Study Retreat, and affords the space, comfort and privacy for family or friendship reunions.

    All photos are original from the actual property or local surrounding area. No Stock Photos! This property is subject to new STR Permit regulations enforceable 12/24/2025 that limits the sleeping capacity to a maximum of 9 people for 4 bedrooms though there are up to 4 additional sleepers (1 Murphy Bed and 2 sleeper sofas, and optional futon that can be exchanged for the table in the Cabin Suite). This house is perfect for a gathering of family or friends that offers large bedrooms for personal space, and excellent shared space. Common spaces include the upper loft, open living room-kitchen space, the first floor game room, and lower deck with outside lounge area. We look forward to your stay with us!

    This property is best suited for adults as all doors open to the outside wrap around deck. This Oasis is calm and peaceful and the decks are not suited for loud and energetic families that need an open space to run around. Well behaved children that are mature and can be respectful of the property with acknowledgement of house rules by guests when booking.

    Large Family Gathering? If available, a beautiful adjacent property can accommodate an additional 6 guests. If both are available, they could accommodate a total of 15 guests (9 + 6). With our neighbor's permission, check-out the availability of her property at VRBO.com/1933670 - PRIVATE Hilltop Home: Stunning Carmel Views, Hot Tub, 3 Balconies, Dogs Welcome.

    Come enjoy this extraordinary property with beautiful and comfortable living spaces and breathtaking views. Make this your home away from home!

Callie was an incredible host that went above and beyond. She checked in before our stay with wonderful recommendations and the recommended Point Lobos hike was the highlight of the trip! The space was perfection, better than advertised and clean! Located close enough to town to walk was incredible on the busy weekend, I can’t recommend this stay enough

This was my second stay at this amazing property, but the first time staying there since it was combined. We booked this stay for my 40th birthday weekend and it was perfect for our group that had 4 different families with 2 toddlers and a baby. The layout was so great with enough space for the kids to sleep and the adults to hang out and the extra high chairs and pack n play were such a huge help! Having full access to the hot tub, outdoor space and the new game room makes for such a fun and comfortable space for a big group. And Callie is the most available, responsive and thoughtful host! She even leaves a personal note and bottle of wine as a welcome gift! This house makes any visit to Carmel even more wonderful. Will most definitely book again!

Incredible views and hospitality

Check in was a smooth process with the host giving a quick guided tour of the property. Stunning views from the front bed room and wrap around patio. Grill on property was a bonus, plus the well stocked kitchen made our stay-in meals a breeze. Easy checkout process as well. Would stay here again in the future!

Terrific location and spectacular views! My extended family really enjoyed our stay - the house had everything we needed, including lots of dishes, pots, and pans, and key kitchen items you barely find in rentals, but make such a difference – like tinfoil and saran wrap. The host left us a lovely bottle of wine and some snacks and even coffee. Beds were comfortable. Showers were hot plenty of room for all of us. A !

The best rental property ever!

We’ve stayed at many places over the years and this one is impossible to beat. The view is spectacular, Callie was so easy to book and communicate with, the house was spotless and had everything you could need. We had the best weekend at the house and already can’t wait to come back. If you’re coming to Carmel this is hands down the place to stay!

Lovely stay in Carmel

My family and I had an excellent stay. Susan and Callie were very responsive, left very clear instructions/showed us around when we arrived. Great location. Very kid and dog-friendly - I feel they go above and beyond to make the guest's stay comfortable as well as fun. Would highly recommend this spot.
