This Spanish-style cottage at the end of a cul-de-sac in upper Seaside is a true sanctuary: set in a lovingly tended garden with burbling fountains amid magnolia and begonia, roses, succulents, and flowering vines.

French doors open to a patio (with lounge chairs, a table with an umbrella, and a barbecue) that’s bound to be your second living room on sunny days. Inside, there’s a King bed, a bath with a shower, a breakfast nook, and a kitchenette (two burner cooktop, microwave, and under counter refrigerator). An electric fireplace will keep you warm and cozy, and DirectTV (with sports packages) will keep you entertained.

The cottage is located to the right of the main residence on a fully-fenced lot (you may be greeted by Ozzie and Pedro, the owner’s two very friendly dogs). Perfect for monthly or extended stays, there’s easy access to Highway 1 and 68 if you’re commuting, and it’s just a few miles from the ocean, downtown Monterey and Fisherman’s Wharf. And when you need a latte – or don’t feel like cooking – Seaside’s numerous restaurants and cafes are right down the hill: fast food and diners plus Thai, Chinese, Mexican, Vietnamese, Italian, sushi and Starbucks.

BIG SUR MARATHON AND HIGHWAY ONE UPDATE

032211-landslide-630You may have heard about the catastrophic road failure on Highway One south of Carmel (photo) but due to a rockslide further south near Limekiln State Park on March 24, about forty miles of Highway One on the Big Sur coast were closed briefly to all traffic.

However, as of March 26, Caltrans announced a plan to open one lane of Highway 1 at the site of the southern slide for an hour at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., and then continuously overnight beginning at 6 p.m.  The highway is still closed at Rocky Creek in the north, and may be impassable for another month.

Due to the highway closure, the May 1st Big Sur International Marathon will take place on an alternate “out and back” course. This newly created course will begin just before the Carmel River Bridge and head south on Highway One to a turnaround point in the vicinity of Rocky Creek Bridge, and will detour through Point Lobos State Park on the return trip.

Marathon organizers are encouraging participants who had planned to stay in Big Sur to secure alternate accommodations in Monterey, Pacific Grove, Seaside or Carmel. Meanwhile, we are extremely happy to report that it looks like some sunny weather is coming our way this week! For up to date highway info, call Caltrans toll-free hotline at 888.836.0866.
