Gorgeous

If you want luxury, seclusion and great location to local sites and activities this is the place for you. Beautiful views of the ocean abound from all rooms, open floor plan built around large common area good for family gathers while providing privacy for each guest to spend time alone. Smoke room to walk around property to stretch your legs, private and secure. Absolute gem on Big Sur coast line, can’t ask for anything more.

Tranquility Abounds

Marinus is the relaxing retreat you seek. Beautiful spaces, lovely winds, brilliant sunsets...we barely left the home. Beds were incredibly comfortable as were the deck chairs. Thoughtful instructions were given when we arrived. Fun movies in the DVD archive and several board games. Excellent gym! Weights up to 25lbs. We were thrilled! The nearby beach is a private treasure. We are always grateful when someone shares such an incredibly special place. It was exactly what we hoped it would be! *internet warning: we challenged it with 3 college students and one physician using online resources. It gridlocked frequently. This will only be relevant to those trying to work remotely while traveling. Could not find a way to play music in the house, so ask owner if it interests you. Discovered the last night that Netflix and other streaming apps were available in the theatre room (not in living room). Hope this helps!

REMOTE PROPERTY - NOT SECURE - LACK OF PROPERTY OWNER CONCERN

My wife and I, senior citizens, booked this property just for the 2 of us for15 nights for a vacation. We discussed the importance of good security at their "gated and very private" estate with the property owners and were told that there were a number of security cameras around the property as well as a security system in the house if we wanted to use it. We said we did, so they sent us the instructions to arm the system. It should be noted the house is advertised as having A/C. It does not. The manual tells you to open the 1st & 2nd floor windows to create a breeze. You cannot arm the security system with open windows. We had to use an oscillating fan for air at night so the security system could be armed. On the seventh day of our stay as we were sitting on the deck a very large and menacing drone appeared above our heads. It hovered there recording/taking pictures of us. It then moved across the deck and behind the house. Within 5 minutes it again appeared above our heads as if it had circled the house looking for other people. After a while, it went down at the front gate to this property where we heard a car door slam as if leaving in a hurry. This was very disturbing and we felt extremely threatened since this property is located on a remote portion of CA-1 that is a 2 lane road with no shoulder. The perpetrator had to have parked at the front gate where we heard the car door slam. When we called the property owners they said they didn't have anything to do with it. We told them we did not feel secure at their property and wanted to leave, which we did the next morning. We felt they could have at least reviewed the security cameras and reported the car license plate to local authorities, but they did neither. Long story short, we asked the property owners to refund the days we didn't stay there due to this incident. They said they were "torn" between refunding our money and focusing on their profits. They ended up giving us a small refund, but not nearly as much as what they said they would do. A note about the property owners: They purchased this property just 1 yr ago solely as an investment for them. They live many miles away and have stayed at the property ONLY ONE night since their purchase. They seem to be disturbingly disconnected to the property. BEWARE: THIS IS A VERY REMOTE PROPERTY WITH NO CELL SERVICE; THE PROPERTY OWNERS PLACE THEIR PROFITS ABOVE GUEST SAFETY WHILE REMOVING THEMSELVES FROM SECURITY BREACH RESPONSIBILTY.

Heaven on earth.

We could not have hoped for a better weekend on the central coast. The fog rolled in, the fog rolled out. The wind blew. The sun shone. Whales and dolphins swam by. Deer and rabbits visited. We hiked to a waterfall at Ragged Point Inn We splashed in the ocean. We soaked in the very hot hot tub. We slept well in comfy beds and cooked delicious meals in the great kitchen. We played games by the fireplace and checked tide charts with the zippy internet. To top it all off, the property manager is extremely polite and accommodating, and is a fast and easy communicator. There is no reason not to stay here. If you're lucky enough to have the chance, don't pass it up. We have been staying in Vrbos for many years and are quite particular. This is one of the best places we've ever stayed. We didn't want to leave, and are trying to find a way to return as soon as possible.

Amazing views and more

The house and location are impeccable and we would return without question. Two important things to note, the Big Sur reference is a bit off and although it does say "south" it should probably reference San Simeon or Cambria in the title. It is a 15 min drive to Cambria and a bit over 1 hour to Big Sur. It might even be closer to San Luis than Big Sur... Also, this place does not have AC so it can get a bit hot. If you are not comfortable sleeping with a fan on, you might want to consider late summer travel to this location. The rooms and beds were great, the kitchen was well appointed. We were not able to get the surround sound system working or find instructions to do so, but it was not that big of a deal. The views, the windows, just absolutely insane. I have traveled extensively, literally been on the sand at resorts, however, this place makes you feel like you are in the ocean. One of the best views we have ever had the pleasure of enjoying. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to explore the central coast of CA. We traveled with small children (18 mos old) to young seniors (70 yrs old) and the property fit all very well. I would also like to note, there was a comment about security concerns, I do not agree that the place is unsafe. We never feltuncomfertable once our entire trip.

Relaxation Oasis

This is a fantastic vacation spot. We loved sitting on the decks! It is an incredible view, a great spot to watch the sunset, and the surf provides a great relaxing sound track. Our family enjoyed watching a traditional Christmas movie in the entertainment room. Plenty of space at the table for board games and cards. The kitchen is a great place to cook while enjoying the great view. Very lovely, we look forward to visiting again.

Amazing private getaway

The home is beautiful and the views are spectacular. Great place to unwind even if you have to work a little, still feels like your away. Enjoyed visiting Hearst Castle, Cambria and Big Sur but mostly enjoyed sitting on the patio with a glass of wine enjoying the views. Our family will be returning in the future.

Dream Retreat

We thoroughly enjoyed the many thoughtful amenities at this most elegant property. Ceiling to floor glass windows in all rooms provide breathtaking views of the ocean and mountain. Plenty of scenic spots and great eateries nearby (within 1 - 15 miles) to escape. Weather was moderate. Seal watching was one of our favorites. Cambria (~15 miles) is a pretty town with great restaurants and shopping areas. The drive along the coast is breathtaking. All in all, one of our most memorable vacations.

Jawdropping!

We had a great time at Marinus! The home itself was very private and well laid-out for a group. The great room was the go-to hang-out, but there was also a media room, game room and gym. The property is near San Carpoforo Creek Beach. The most beautiful part of the beach disappears at high tide, but it is a treasure with black sand, caves and tidal pools. A secluded cove is easily accessible about two hours before and two hours after low tide on the southern end of the beach.

Remote & Relaxing

The pictures don’t lie. A very modern, extremely well designed house that sits on a bluff just above Route 1 and high above the Pacific. Quiet with spectacular views, but somewhat remote. However, just 25 minutes from Cambria with an organic grocery and a handful of great restaurants. Satellite internet, due to location, but good enough for a working vacation. Open kitchen window to get wifi out to deck due to coated, double-paned, floor to ceiling windows. If you’re looking to get away from it all, this won’t disappoint.

Peaceful getaway, stunning view

The pictures don't lie: this house has an absolutely stunning ocean view from nearly every room, and a huge porch to enjoy it from outside. High end appliances allowed us to cook some lovely meals (though it may be time to replace a few of the pots and pans). The sense of tranquility was exactly what we needed over the long holiday weekend. Best of all, this was truly a last-minute rental, and the hosts went out of their way to ensure it would be ready for check-in by the time we arrived. Can't wait to stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Wander Concierge

Host profile image
Chris and Maryam Ardalan are your hosts. Marinus was built in 2008 on a rare parcel of land just off the Big Sur Coast by the prior owners. Marinus means "of the sea" in Latin. It is a spectacular estate that sits atop of the coastline overlooking the Pacific Ocean. For years, the prior owners shared the estate with others through online bookings. We acquired Marinus in June of 2021 and continue sharing the estate with others who wish to experience the breathtaking beauty of the property and its surroundings. What drew us to the property was the picturesque blending of the elements of nature that overtakes you as you drive through the area. When it’s not booked, we enjoy creating our own memories with our families and friends while soaking in the serenity and peaceful landscape and watching the amazing sunsets from the deck. It is our endeavor to take the best possible care of our guests and the property to maximize their enjoyment.

Why they chose this property

We wanted views of the Ocean, but not views of crowds in and around the Ocean. We also love nature. San Simeon has the perfect blend of Ocean and nature that allows for an escape from City life into a reclusive resort that brings peace and tranquility.

What makes this property unique

There is something very special about the Big Sur Coast. This place is so rugged, so powerful and so beautiful that just being in this environment will lift most people out of the numbness of everyday life. It is a truly zen inducing estate that immerses ones spirit and soul.
