What an amazing place! We especially loved the view from the deck and all the flowers. The house is very clean and well stocked with everything you could possibly need. It is also in the perfect location to visit the Point Lobos Reserve, Big Sur and Carmel/Monterey.
Whole property was amazing! Will definitely return…..Karin is an amazing host! The views are amazing! The property is beautiful! The neighborhood is quiet. Could not ask for a better place to stay!
Karin is a fantastic host and the house is pristine. The locos amazing with total peace and privacy plus amazing views. We enjoyed the amenities and lots of room to spread out and relax, inside and out in the decks. Loved the hot tub and outdoor lounge chairs. Would definitely recommend!

Very friendly host with a beautiful house that was
Spent a week here with family. Hiking, beach, leisure, many food options, fun shopping, close grocery stores. The home was beautiful and very well equipped. The owner is thoughtful and thorough in every aspect. Everything was smooth and easy.
The home was exactly what I would want for an 4 night stay. The kitchen was fully stocked with lots for cooking and extras like spices and olive oil and other goodies. The house was clean and easily accessible for unloading the car. The deck was spacious and the view of the ocean spectacular. The jacuzzi was well maintained and had good instructions and even had lights, robes, a shower, and perfect size and temperature ... and the best view of the stars at night. All the way thru the process the host was helpful and communicative and very easy to handle my needs. Loved the remote setting for this home. Very quiet. Great value for the comparables I saw for other places in Carmel. Thank you Karin!
Absolutely beautiful home! We loved the well-stocked kitchen with all the necessary supplies and high-end appliances. Anything you might look for in your own kitchen, you would find here! Beautiful view in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood. Note that the bedrooms are on a lower level and she asks that you not roll your suitcases in the house. If you would have trouble carrying your suitcase through the house and down stairs, this would not be a good fit for you. Note that the half bath is on the upper level at the opposite end of the house from the bedrooms (on the lower level). This home was perfect for our family of four! There is, however, effectively only one bathroom easily accessible when getting ready, only one shower, etc. so just keep that on you radar depending on the needs of your group. Lovely stay!

Response from VrboOwner on 15 June 2026
Thank you for your review. I only ask that suitcases not be dragged down over the oak wood stairway. If guests can lift them, and most do, not a problem. In my description it is clear that there is a full bath downstairs with the bedrooms and a half bath upstairs . Many guests also enjoy the private hot shower in the spa area outside. This was a group of several women staying.
The host couldn't have been more helpful and kind. The house was beautiful and stocked with everything you could possibly want. The view was gorgeous. The hot tub was so peaceful. Make sure to check out all the wonderful flowers in and around the property too! Thank you Karin for a great stay!
Perfect location for us; being up out of the hustle and bustle and surrounded by nature. Everything you could need is provided and Karin is right next door should you need her.
Wonderful time! Everything we needed to enjoy a few days with old friends.Beautiful view from deck… even saw deer one morning in the backyard.Beds were very comfortable with nice soft bedding!Would stay here again for sure!Host was very kind and helpful on site upon our arrival.
We really enjoyed our stay. The property was as advertised and more! It was out of the way and very quiet, but within minutes of town. The kitchen was stocked exceptionally well, with everything you’d need to cook a gourmet meal! Karin was a very gracious host!
Great private location that's close to everything!
Everything was great! The view is amazing! The Kitchen and all amenities are very thoughtful. Everything we needed was right where it was expected. The hot tub is private and secluded. Hope to stay again some day!
Introducing my 9 year old grandson to one of my favorite places. He was not disappointed!

About the host
Hosted by Karin Twohig
I have been living on this property in the Carmel Highlands for over 30 years. I love the views out to the ocean; the sunsets are amazing and even more so, I love watching the moon set and reflect on the ocean. It is a quiet and peaceful retreat to come back to.
Why they chose this property
This property is in a quiet and serene setting just minutes south of Carmel and on the coast. You can walk from the house to the ocean and do a 60 minute loop. No ocean or beach access. Monastery beach is on the way to town with a level walking path to the Carmel River mouth. Walking on the white sand beach of Carmel is only a 15 minute drive away. Whale watching during whale season from the house and the coast highway. Owner/caretaker on the property living in a cottage with separate entrance. House, Spa and deck are very private.
What makes this property unique
The spa area is totally private and seperate from the house. There is a large hot tub, chase lounges, sun umbrella and changing area. Ideal for rest and relaxation, a glass of wine, sun bathing, napping or watching the stars and the moon.
