Top McWay Cove Hotel Reviews

Lucia Lodge

Lucia Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"This is just the sweetest place, nestled into a cliffside, south of Big Sur. Miles from any amenities, and with no one to greet you when you arrive, the owners nevertheless make checking in a breeze and even have the wit to provide an extra key in the lockbox in case you lock yourself out. In the morning, a "breakfast nook" opens at 8:30am so you can have a muffin and fruit and juice with the coffee you've made in the room. Ocean views are spectacular, even if you don't have an ocean view room, since you can walk up the trail to enjoy the sea. A real find. I've passed through Lucia dozens of times and always wondered what it would be like to stay there. Now I know. On this trip, it was the perfect stop."

"I wish we could keep this place a secret all to ourselves! What an amazing experience it was to stay here. The grounds are truly out of a fairytale, the gardens are meticulously maintained and the staff was so friendly and welcoming. One of the most peaceful and relaxing places we have ever had the pleasure to enjoy. We will be visiting again for sure."

Unique Off-Grid experience with Stunning Views Close to Wine Tasting

Unique Off-Grid experience with Stunning Views Close to Wine Tasting

10/10 Excellent
"Traveled with my husband and pup and this was a really nice and unique place to check out on our road trip. We really enjoyed the quiet location, the super comfortable bed (!!!) and the amenities on site, which we enjoyed using (hot tub, fire pit, grill - all worked great)! Really fun to be next to a sheep/goat pen and to watch the goat climb the tree! The road driving up to this location was insane though; very steep, twisty an narrow, but after doing it a few times, we got more comfortable with it. My only issue was that we had a bit of an ant problem in/around the refrigerator, and the can of bug spray on site was empty. We contacted the owner about it, but unfortunately it was also a holiday weekend and we know people were not as available (not a big deal and we connected later), but we ended up just dealing with it on our own...not a perfect solution and was a constant problem during the majority of our stay. Other than that, this rental was wonderful! Great view across a valley, quiet location, and a beautiful starry sky at night! Worth checking out, just remember, you are in an RV and sometimes bugs happen."

Gated Carmel Valley Retreat with 20 Acres, Pool & Hot Tub

10/10 Excellent
"Amazing property with tons of space for my friends and pups to hang out for the week! The rooms were spotless and there was more than enough space for 5 adults and two dogs. We spent most of our time at the pool or in the living room doing crafts. The kitchen had everything we needed for food preparation, so we could cook all of our meals. The only slight setback was the windy road on the drive in. We opted to stay on property the whole time to avoid motion sickness! "
