About this property

Carmel Big Sur-Style Guest House with Hot Tub, Decks & Views! CLOSING 12/24/25

***As of 12/24/25 the Guest House will only be available as part of the Big Sur Lodge-Style Main House in Carmel with PANORAMIC Ocean, Bay & Valley VIEWS! due to new County of Monterey STR Regulations***
Thank you for your patronage! We look forward to hosting you at the Carmel Main House in the future. View @ VRBO.com/1419970 Description & capacity will change after additional remodeling in the Spring of 2026.

Gorgeous, newly remodeled Contemporary Big Sur-Style Guest House with private Hot Tub, 2 decks, gas fire table and chat set. It feels both open and private with a bank of windows from end to end that open up to views of Carmel Valley, Carmel River Beach and Point Lobos. After gently descending 22 well-lit and landscaped redwood stairs to the lower level, you will enter a beautiful, private landscaped yard with views overlooking a canopy of trees with virtually no direct view of other houses! This 930 sf ground floor Guest House has a large living room, large Master Bedroom that includes an office area with a copier/printer, a Master Closet with full-sized Washer/Dryer, and views of Point Lobos. You may never leave the bed! There is a Main House above it. Additional sound-proofing has been added both to the ceiling as well as new flooring in the Main house with commercial insulation which was added in December 2022. This newly renovated home is fresh, clean and uncluttered with an updated Big Sur lodge influence and New Everything!

The Living Room has a Queen Sleeper/ Sofa and the Full-Sized Murphy Bed doubles as a writing table. Enjoy an adult beverage while whipping up a snack or meal from the Kitchenette with 2 large capacity Microwave/ Convection Oven and Convection Oven/ Air-Fryer with 2-burner Hot Plates with Granite Island seating. The large private yard (1500 sf) has 2 outdoor decks and is fully fenced and landscaped with garden lighting. The deck outside the master bedroom has views of Point Lobos from the new Hot Tub! The second deck has a romantic gas Fire-Table Chat Set to stay warm while counting the stars. Well behaved dogs are welcome as the yard is fully fenced and the wood floors are easy to keep clean.

All photos are original from the actual property or local surrounding area. There are No Stock Photos! 20% discount will be applied for stays of 30-days or more as Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) is no longer required. Just outside the Carmel-by-the-Sea city limits in the Coastal Zone, this property is not subject to Carmel or the County Short Term Rental restrictions.

Property is right off Hwy 1 and an easy 1 mile from the quintessential Village of Carmel-by-the-Sea. It does require a car to get to town, as the trail to the adjacent street has been cut-off. The Guest House is on the ground-level of the property. It shares a ceiling with the Main House occupying the 1st and 2nd floors above it. It has it's own stairway and entry and is entirely SEPARATE though conversations are audible if both parties from the Main House and Guest House are out on the deck together. There is lots of light from windows with a big indoor/ outdoor open feel. Crestview is perfect for a family or romantic Vacation or remote Work/ Study Retreat. New to VRBO in 2021!

Stunningly clean! Superb communication from booking to checkout. Appreciated the tour from the property host when we arrived who showed us important details. Simply perfect. Plenty of parking. The dead end street was so quiet. Hot tub, grill, and outdoor fireplace were such treats. Would book again in a heartbeat!

A few pros and cons. Great view, clean property and comfortable place to relax. Hot tub, fire pit and patio were the main reasons we liked this place. Board games and kitchen were also nice. Parking is on the street which is easy but no dedicated parking spot. A few cons:We both absolutely crushed our heads on a cupboard in the bathroom at night. No idea how everyone doesn’t.(pic attached)Late check in 5pm was tough. And lots of communication from property management before the stay.No AC - after being told “please reach out with questions” a number of times.. I asked if there was A/C and was promptly told that ac is rarely needed… it was hot at night, so we kept the windows open. But there are bright lights that stay on in the yard at night, the second night we were able to cover them, which helped with sleep.Camera on the patio - not great for using the hot tub.Some traffic noise - road close by

We so thoroughly enjoyed Callie’s place. Well appointed and clean; the fog kept the coast hidden from us most of the time but finally on the second afternoon we got a peak of the glorious views. Callie left us a sweet card and bottle of wine, plus snacks, and gave us a detailed list of local hikes and restaurants to enjoy. The beds were comfy, linens cozy (and colorful!) and the hot tub was essential! We’d love to go back! Thanks, Callie!

Absolutely picturesque highly functional this stay. The property was amazing with a massive backyard area, stocked kitchen, excellent amenities (yay hot tub!) and in home washer and dryer.Really felt like a home away from home. Dog friendly was a huge plus for us and in a very accessible location relative to Carmel, Monterey & Big Sur.Excellent and timely communication from the owner and property manager. Couldn’t recommend more and plan on coming back again soon!

This was an impromptu birthday trip for my wife and this spot delivered. The host was awesome and the property is gorgeous. Close to hwy1 so you can quickly get to Monterey or head south about 5 minutes to the greatest brunch place on the planet, From Scratch. My family of 4 absolutely loved our stay.

The photos do not do the house justice, it is immaculate, spacious and well appointed. Location is excellent and easy access to the highway along with getting around town. Would absolutely stay there again and we felt very welcomed. There aren’t a lot of hosts that truly understand hospitality, Callie gets it and it left us with feelings of comfort and care. Thank you for a memorable experience.

Four walls and a roof can have a lot of competition. What sets this place apart is the property owners themselves. They went above and beyond to make sure we knew the best of the best about the area, activities and dining to maximize every minute of our trip. Is the guest house perfectly clean and adorably decorated…yes! Are the views stunning…yes! Are the amenities plentiful and exceptional…yes! But what can’t be discounted or unappreciated is being treated like you’ve been friends for forever and that every need to have is anticipated and you being their guest is their top priority. Cannot wait to return!
