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.

About the host

Hosted by Karin Twohig

Host profile image
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.
