Due to recent changes in Monterey County ordinances, we are now only able to accept long-term stays with a 30-day minimum requirement.

Located on the South Coast of Big Sur, this off-the-grid home sits atop a hill and offers expansive ocean views, making it an ideal location for a digital detox.

Please note that a 4WD or AWD vehicle is an absolute necessity to access the property. Tesla vehicles are not suitable for the terrain.

The space
The cottage has a one-bedroom with an extra loft with a window bed.

The living room boasts 180-degree views of the rugged pacific coast which opens up to an oceanview deck, perfect to hang a hammock and spend the day.

Every room has an ocean view to enjoy. This off-the-grid cottage runs on solar power and uses propane for the stove and heater. Water comes from a freshwater spring on the property and is filtered at the tap.

Located off of Highway 1 about one mile up a public dirt road, the house is accessible by most vehicles with good ground clearance but due to recent storms that hit California the roads are pretty beaten up and a 4WD IS REQUIRED. THE ROAD HAS RUTS, AND DIVOTS AND GETS SLIPPERY IN THE RAIN.

The house is 100% off-grid with no municipal services and runs on solar power. Please plan meals not to use excessive energy.

More information:
Please note, there is another house on the property behind this cottage and the parking space and the driveway are shared.

Communication: There is no cell network or wifi in that area, please use the landline to communicate with me or for any emergency purposes. You can always reach out to your co-host. WE DO NOT HAVE INTERNET.

Water: The water comes from a natural spring and filters at the tap. You will get filtered water in the sink tap in the hot water option(down). We also have a Brita water Filtration Pitcher.

Electricity: The house runs on solar. Please be mindful of the lights. Due to the off-grid nature of the home, you should be prepared that power may not always be available. We have a generator and portable solar lights as a backup in case of a solar power shortage. The stove, refrigerator, and water heater work on propane and don't depend on solar power.

Other things to note
There is no mobile reception at the cottage or during the last 30 minutes of the drive. Please download maps and check-in instructions ahead of time to ensure you have everything you need for your stay
