Big Sur Vacation Rentals

Big Sur's ultra-exclusive accommodation options allow you to indulge in a private cabin with plenty of space or a charmingly chic cottage along a serene village lane.

Dining in Big Sur

You'll be glad you went to Mission Ranch Restaurant because nowhere else will have you bragging that you've eaten in a restored farmhouse owned by Clint Eastwood. The comfort food - including a locally grown artichoke appetizer - combined with meadow views make for a satisfying dining experience.

For a different kind of star power, head out to Rocky Point Restaurant, where you can catch them twinkling in the night sky from their expansive deck with uninterrupted Pacific views. Start with their exciting signature seafood chowder, which comes from sustainable fishing.

Art & culture: Early Spanish influences

Learn about the Big Sur's roots and religious history at the Carmel Mission Basilica Museum, an exquisitely built stone church dating from 1771. Join a tour to hear about the Spanish founders and to take in the fine artistic details and quiet nooks and crannies.

Continue your dig into the past at the Big Sur Historical Society's Molera Ranch House Museum, where you'll step into the lives of pioneers and influencers, in an abode constructed in the local style. Bring a book from their store back to your cozy cabin and become an expert on Big Sur's long history.

Explore Big Sur: Stunning feats of architecture

California's beloved Highway 1 doesn't disappoint as it meanders through Big Sur's dramatic, winding pass. Be stunned by the high-up Bixby Creek Bridge as it lunges from one jagged rock face to another over Bixby Creek far below.

Rocky Creek Bridge, equally shocking in its height and architectural achievements, spans Rocky Creek and Las Piedras Canyon, making it another welcome place to snap a picture. Take a moment to listen to the waves lap against the cliff side.
