Cielo Point at dusk, a cliffside modern house overlooking the Pacific

Big Sur, California

A house that
watches the sea.

One property, one host, three hundred feet above the Pacific. Cielo Point is looked after personally, not managed, not franchised, just cared for.

Currently hosted byMarisol Vance

The House

Four suites.
One point of contact.

Cielo Point sleeps eight across four suites, each with its own bath and its own slice of the view. Nothing here is run by a property management app, Marisol built this house, and she's the one who'll answer when you call.

Room by Room

Every room earns
its place.

Warm den with wood-toned furniture and a stone hearth

Ground floor, west-facing

The Den

A second sitting room for the quieter hours, wood-burning stove, a wall of records Marisol's father left behind, and the only room in the house without a view, on purpose.

Primary suite with upholstered headboard and ocean-facing window

Second floor, full ocean frontage

The Primary Suite

King bed, a soaking tub angled at the horizon, and a private deck that catches the last light of the day before it drops into the water.

Bright primary bathroom with glass shower and wood-framed mirror

En suite, primary level

The Primary Bath

Book-matched marble, a walk-in shower built for two, and radiant floors, because this coast is cold in the mornings, even in July.

Guest bedroom with framed art and a window seat

Third floor, garden-facing

Guest Suite Two

Quieter, north-facing, and the one guests ask to come back to, a queen bed, a reading chair, and a window seat that gets the morning sun.

"We've stayed at a lot of "luxury" rentals that felt like nobody actually lived there. This one does. Marisol left a handwritten note about the tide schedule. That's the whole vibe."

Devon & Priya R., Stayed 6 nights, October

"The pool photos undersell it. Whatever you're picturing, it's better. Also, she answered a 10pm text about the hot tub within five minutes. Try getting that from a management company."

Callum S., Stayed 4 nights, June

"Booked for a work trip that turned into an early anniversary. The primary suite alone is worth the drive up the coast. Already rebooked for next spring."

Elena M., Stayed 3 nights, March

"Quiet in the way that's hard to find anymore. No neighbors, no noise, just the water. Marisol recommended a trail that wasn't on any app, genuinely the best part of the trip."

James & Book T., Stayed 5 nights, September

Waves along the Big Sur coastline

Highway One, Mile Marker 47

Remote enough
to feel like the edge.

No neighbors within sight, no cell signal past the driveway gate, and a private trail down to a cove most maps don't bother naming. Everything you'd actually want is a short drive down One.
