About this property

Carmel Big Sur-Style Guest House with Hot Tub, bank of windows, decks & VIEWS!

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!

The Guest House (lower level) is on the ground floor with a Main House occupying the 1st and 2nd floors above it (2 flights of stairs). The Main House (2200 sf, 3 BR/ 3 BA) on upper level, may be rented with the Guest House, if available, and the units can be adjoined. See separate VRBO listing for – ‘Contemporary Big Sur-Style in Carmel - 180 degree VIEWS!' To view, go to VRBO.com/1419970. You may inquire about the availability of both. Come enjoy this light-filled, open, smart and comfortable Guest House with indoor-outdoor living, hot tub and view!

Lovely flat in quiet location close to it all
We had a wonderful stay at this bright, clean, and well-appointed flat. Especially enjoyed the private hot tub and the very comfortable bed - slept great! It was great to be a short drive from downtown Carmel, but far enough away to be quiet and to have parking available always. Time in Big Sur, Point Lobos, beaches were highlights. Great communication and responsiveness by host and property manager. Thanks so much!

Amazing stay!
We booked this suite along with the rest of the larger house for our wedding weekend. It was the perfect location and beautiful home. It was spacious enough for our group of 9 and also held several get togethers for our wedding. The hot tub was an amazing added bonus! This was the perfect location!

Lovely cottage in Carmel
Overall the place is great. Lots of room, well stocked kitchen, nice decorations and outdoor space was very good and private for a tri-plex. The only two downsides was the 5PM check-in which is late in the day for a typical arrival and there is no access from the neighborhood into Carmel without driving on HWY 1. This makes walking or biking into town very difficult.

This property is all you want in a VRBO. Pristine, equipped with all the comforts of your own home, elegantly decorated, in a private cup-de-sac, in an upscale neighborhood, with incredible beach views, a responsive owner and did I mention you own hot tub? We are looking forward to coming back and visiting Carmel and Monterey while staying here.

Perfect place to stay to see our daughter at DLI. She was able to stay with us for the weekend and found the Murphy bed comfortable. The kitchen & living room tables were perfect for playing family games that we brought with us and the grill and hot tub were awesome. Location worked well to explore Big Sur & Monterey. We enjoyed our time here and would stay again if we came back.

Nice property and good location
The property was very clean, nicely decorated and an incredible view. The owners Susan and Callie were very conscientious and responsive to our needs. There are 22 steps down to the property from the street which we did not realize which made carrying luggage a little difficult, especially in the pouring rain. I recommend this property.

Wonderful Getaway!
We had a great stay at Callie's place! Callie was very accommodating. The location was a very short drive to downtown Carmel and also Monterey. We explored nearby Point Lobos, which Callie gave us some info on. Her place had everything we could need. We stayed there with our 10 year old son and it was a perfect space for all of us. We would definitely come again!
