Absolutely stunning location, truly gorgeous ocean coastline views. The space feels aimed at event use, but we had an enjoyable stay as a couple toddler. Copper tubs are fantastic for an evening soak!
The property was gorgeous, and met all of our expectations as advertised. This is the perfect place to go if you're looking for privacy and to enjoy the ocean views. We also loved that there was a sauna and soaking tubs on the property - very unique!

Beautiful Getaway
Lovely accommodations. Everything you need to have a great experience. Beds were comfortable, sheets were fresh, lots of hot water for the outdoor baths as well the rest of the house.
We ventured down the beach on an amazing stairway/path and had great fun exploring the shoreline.
The views are breathtaking and can’t be captured by the pictures.
A great place to stay. We will be back.

Stunning property!
Wind & Sea is an amazing property. It's your own luxury resort.
The house is very welcoming and comfortable. All three bedrooms have a beautiful view.
The grounds are spectacular. You can keep busy exploring for days.
The staircase to the rocky beach is an adventure in itself. The family LOVED the 2 copper tubs and the sauna.
The property manager was very personable and informative.
We can't wait to return to this perfect getaway.

THE MOST AMAZING HOME
The Wind and Sea Home far exceeded our expectations. Everything was perfect! Chris greeted us and showed us around the house. Everything was so clean and pristine. We saw otters, dolphins and even a whale, all from the upper decks! I highly recommend the home. The copper bath tubs might have been our favorite part, they were so nice to relax in on a sunny afternoon. The home is seriously a dream come true!!

Beautiful Views and Location
We had a very good time at Wind & Sea. The house and location were lovely. Everything was spotlessly clean. Beds very comfortable. Fully stocked kitchen. The caretaker Chris was very helpful and attentive. I would strongly recommend new living room furniture. We found the sofas very uncomfortable. The addition of end tables would be a plus. It took us a while to figure out how to operate the light switches. Otherwise, a very enjoyable stay.

Hi Pat,
So glad you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for the suggestions. We hope to see you back again soon.
The host was slow to respond. The property is stunning, but the house is nothing special and clearly used primarily for events. The jacuzzi didn't work and the sauna was full of spider webs and barely heated. There was also leftover plates and glasses on the property from a previous event. I would recommend the place for a party / wedding, as it was very clearly built to be used for. The grounds keepers were very friendly though and the views made it all worth it in the end.

Stunning property, very comfortable house and beautiful landscaping.
Amazing property and view. Spacious rooms and very comfortable, modern and current interior. Solid walls so everybody has their own privacy. The Sonos system worked great. Everything worked. The kitchen was fully stocked with good quality dishes. We loved cooking in that kitchen. The landscaping is even better than shown in the photos. It is green and lush, lot more mature. The property is so big that 8 people can get easily lost and not know of each other. The path to the beach is in great condition and the beach is wild and breathtaking. We are a pair of photographers and every corner was a 10-star backdrop. The only drawback is that the night lighting of the exterior is very minimal and unless you have full moon conditions, you can't see where you are stepping. I wish the daily rate was a bit lower as we all really wanted to stay a few nights longer.

A beautiful property close with total privacy
We had an amazing stay at Wind & Sea last month. The house is beautiful and the views are unbelievably spectacular. From any point on the property, we felt like we had total privacy, especially in the outdoor soaking tubs which our family thoroughly enjoyed.
The house itself is well appointed and comfortable. We used the grill and cooked in the kitchen for almost every meal, and I don't recall ever thinking "I wish they had...." The house was also very clean and the grounds outside are meticulous.
The added benefit of the caretaker, Chris, was wonderful as well. He took us around the garden and gave us fresh greens and vegetables straight from the garden for many meals. Thanks Chris!!
Overall, we would highly recommend Wind & Sea to any family with kids over 6. There are a lot of wood stairs and uneven rock steps, but this added to the charm and beauty of the property. For reference, our daughters are ages 11, 8 and 7, and absolutely loved our trip to Big Sur and staying at Wind & Sea. We will definitely be back!!!

This place litterally takes your breath away
I stumbled upon Wind & Sea Estate after searching "intimate wedding Big Sur," and I was immediately enamored. As guests came from all over the US and the world, we heard repeatedly that the 1-hr bus ride from Carmel-by-the-Sea was worth it. The seals barked in the background from a nearby rock, and even at midnight, you can see ripples across the ocean. Everyone gathered around the lower firepit and few insisted they wanted to install a similar one at their house.
We had some last minute issues with the provided tables (we didn't realize they were folding card tables that would need tablecloths) and the music system provided some issues, but none of that took away from the event as we figured it out on the fly. Note there are a lot of stairs; it's a little rough for guests moving around of all ages but especially older guests. Also, not recommended for children since there are a few paths that go off to the private beach or various cliffs/vistas.

Thank you, Alissandria! We are so glad that you enjoyed yourself and got to experience the magic of the estate for you special day. I will certainly look into the sound system issue. All the best on this new adventure!
The chance to stay again at Wind and Sea was an incredible privilege and we could hardly bring ourselves to leave. The tranquility and majesty of Big Sur itself is nowhere better accessed than on this magnificent grounds. We had space and time to laugh and to relax , to cook meals together and do yoga on the lower deck.
There is no place I treasure more than this one and you will not find a better appointed home or better hosts anywhere.
Thank you to Nataly and David and Michael.
Perfection doesn’t even start to describe this home. The home is stunning and the venue cannot be topped. We will cherish our visit and honored that we could rent this beautiful place. Ms y thanks.

A gorgeous location for a getaway, precious. Thanks for the opportunity to stay .
Picturesque spot, but very remote. Old but reasonably well maintained structures. Excellent property manager. Needs improved wi-fi. No AC; no heat - didn't turn out to be a major problem.

Spectacular view house is just meh
You pay for the view and the property is stunning. The interior really needs an update though. Carpeting is filthy with visible stains every where, furniture is worn, doors don’t lock. The supplies needed are mostly there but simple things missing like hangers, or plastic wrap or tinfoil for cooking. The bed in the master is super comfy. Overall we enjoyed our stay but for this price expected much more luxurious accommodations. Clearly a high traffic commercial use property.
This location is absolutely wonderful! We hosted a small family wedding, which was more perfect than I could have ever imagined. Nataly and Korey were great to work with and very prompt in responding to any inquires leading up to and during our stay!
My wife and our new baby needed to get away for our first trip and decided to come up to Big Sur. The House was AMAZING and really enjoyed our stay. The outside Tub/ Sauna was a nice combo as well. I would highly recommend, and plan on coming back with more family next time.
This house and estate was the perfect venue for our small, family only COVID wedding. The view was incredible and it's so close to the ocean you can hear the seals and birds out in the distance when you're outside.
The kitchen comes fully stocked, with coffee, coffee maker, pots/pans and all other utensils you need. If you intend to cook, bring all the food that you need for the weekend because the nearest grocery store is rather far. If you don't intend to cook, there are plenty of nearby restaurants and bakeries.
The master bedroom has an incredible walk in shower. Just be aware that the room shares an incomplete wall with the kitchen/living room so it could be a little noisy if someone is trying to sleep and there are people in the living room.
The house can sleep 12 and provided air mattresses. However, the couches in the living room were super comfortable!
Cory the onsite manager was also super helpful and helped set up the tables and chairs for the wedding and reception.
Couldn't recommend this location any more. We are thinking of coming back at some point just to be able to enjoy the outdoor hot tub and sauna, which we didn't have time to use!
