San Diego to Big Sur would be a long haul and I wouldn't want to drive the last winding part tired. San Diego to Cambria is reasonable and isn't a bad drive except getting through LA. We've also made the coast drive countless times in the last few years as we relocated from LA to Carmel and had to travel back and forth often (mostly on 101 but sometimes taking Hwy 1). Perhaps the OP could shorten San Diego to 2 nights and start up the coast on Day 3.
