Welcome to The Lodge at Seven Coves, one of the most spectacular oceanfront estates on the California coastline. Prominently featured in the movie Basic Instinct, and Big Little Lies, and numerous Hollywood location shoots, as well as award winning Architectural Digest articles, this cinematic 12,000+ sq ft Villa combines world-class architecture with unprecedented coastal inspiration and drama.

This property has long held the reputation as the most elite home on the central coast—and now begins a new chapter where visiting Guests can experience the [Seven Coves] grounds for the first time as a Monterey County-Hosted Homestay.
A Hosted Homestay with Total Privacy
Seven Coves is very fortunate to have an expansive (12,000 + SF) floorplan that accommodates the resident property owner being able to co-locate within the property confines, without any perceivable intrusion of privacy upon Guest Stay’s. Visitors are therefore, afforded immediate 5-Star customer service without any perceived interruption of their privacy during their Stay.
[[Per County rules, the owner now maintains residency in a very privately separated in-home suite on the east side of the Villa—isolated from primary guest areas. Guests enjoy full privacy in the Villa’s main spaces, including the bedrooms, great room, library, pool deck, kitchens, gym, saunas, and coastal gardens.]]
