About Karin Twohig
I have been living on this property in the Carmel Highlands for over 30 years. I love the long 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 Karin Twohig chose Central Coast California
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 45 minute loop. 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 seperate entrance. House, Spa and deck are very private.
What makes this house 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.

A peaceful, beautiful oasis close to services
My husband and I, our daughter and her boyfriend, were lucky enough to spend a week at Karin's place. From the moment we pulled up at this home perched on a hill nestled in the trees, we know the photos did not do the home justice. The plantings frame a beautiful cedar-shingle home which while modest from the outside, opens to a space with soaring ceilings and generous, open spaces flooded with light from ample skylights. The kitchen was a dream...everything an avid cook needs, down to a well-cared for cast iron skillet awaiting me on top of the professional gas range. The view from the deck was stunning, and we were visited by a group of deer one day and a family of quail on another. We hiked at Point Lobos (stunning) and several other trails within a 20 minute drive -some of the most beautiful vistas I've ever seen. The town of Carmel is charming with more to see and places to shop than we had time for. Monterey aquarium, wine tasting, fabulous restaurants - so much to do! Beds very comfortable and everything was meticulously clean and pleasing. Best way to describe the attention to detail and comfort of Karin's home is to say the place is well-loved. The hot tub terrace with hot shower was just an added bonus. We've used VRBO in Europe, Central America and all over the US. This is one of my top two picks.
LOVED every bit of our stay at Karin's BEAUTIFUL home!
My family stayed at Karin's outstanding home for four nights. We were amazed the minute we walked through the door at the spaciousness and overall beauty of her home. We love to cook and the kitchen had every thing we needed, incuding spices, oil, coffee, and more. There are three big tables to use, kitchen, dining, deck. The living room is comfy and abounds with pillows and throws. Every bed had a thick featherbed and quality linens. Towels were very pleantiful, including special spa towels and robes. Speaking of the spa...what a perfect additional spot to get away from it all. Super private hot tub with lounge chairs for sunning or napping! I ended up using the spa shower every day because it was so fun to be outside with open air overhead. We saw a quail family and deer during our stay. My family consists of adults who have used VRBO around the world and we all said Karin's home is one of the best. She is attentive to her renters in various ways including getting back to any questions quickly. Four days was not nearly enough and my hope is to rent with her again soon. Thank you for the perfect place for my family to gather and make a new memory.
Beautiful spot!
The home was was very nice, clean and comfortable with everything you would need. The view was outstanding and the property is lovely. We saw deer, rabbits, quail and several different birds, along with beautiful sunsets and the ocean. It exceeded our expectations and I would definately want to stay again.
