The house was spacious and comfortable. It had great Internet connectivity and the view was wonderful. I would have my morning tea with a beautiful ocean view.
We had a really great time, and the property was beautiful. Karin was so kind and hospitable. The beds were comfortable and the linens were clean and soft, with plenty of towels available. Keep in mind that all four beds downstairs share one bathroom. There is a half bathroom upstairs. Bathroom space was a little tricky with four women. It was not disclosed that Karin shares a mother-in-law attached unit to the house where we stayed. But she did give us privacy. She was also there to greet us and show us around and give us a tour when we arrived which was kind, but not necessarily needed, and a little surprising. We enjoyed the outdoor shower, and the hot tub…and would love to stay there again. We were easily able to UBer to town and splitting the cost was almost nothing.

Thank you for staying and for your review.
It is clearly stated that there are 1 1/2 baths and a great hot outdoor shower in the hot tub/spa area that many guests use and enjoy.
I do live on the property as that is the only legal way for me to operate the short term rental.
All guests have plenty of privacy and there are never any complaints in the reviews. We just share the driveway.
Rarely am I there to give a tour but most guests appreciate it.
This home exceeded our expectations! Not only was the property & views stunning, but the quality of kitchen appliances and bed options were perfect. We would 100% come back again. There are a lot of written instructions which seems overwhelming but honestly was helpful & didn’t require any communication w host
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.
Beautiful property inside and out. The ocean views are a lot nicer than the listing photos suggest. The plants and flowers around the property provide a lot of charm. The house, kitchen, bathrooms, grill, hot tub were all very clean. The kitchen was very well stocked for people who like to cook. Highly recommend.

Very friendly host with a beautiful house that was
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!
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.
Karin's gorgeous home was absolutely perfect for my family. I was traveling with my partner and my parents who are in their late 70s/early 80s. The property was perfect for our needs. Completely breathtaking view and so accessible for my parents. We had a ton of space for four adults. The outdoor shower and the hot tub were a dream. That whole area is super private, and such a lovely place to relax. Driving to the property was windy and up a hill, but totally manageable (and completely worth it for the view). The kitchen was more equipped than our own kitchens- anything you could possibly need was there. The beds were also so comfortable- we all had great night sleeps the whole time we were there. The property feels so removed from everything and just surrounded by nature, but you are also 10 minutes from tons of shopping/restaurants/drug stores, anything you could need- not to mention point lobos, which is one of the most beautiful parks I've ever seen. Absolutely book it- Karin is an incredible host. What a delight to get an opportunity to stay with her!
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.
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!
This is a beautiful property, loaded with comforts and flowers, and peaceful ocean views. We appreciated the extras and Karin’s hospitality.

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.
