John O'Shea was not just a Socializing in his new surroundings . At years end 1917-1918 he had joined the thirteen other artists
in the winter exhibition of fifty or more paintings in the Hall of Arts and Crafts Club .
We surmise that the presence of John O'shea at Carmel Highlands was somehow related to that of Mrs. Elizabeth Bigelow at the time widowed ,art patron, collector of paintings , and wealthy Santa Barbaran. Elizabeth was deeded the Carmel Highlands property in 1918. None other then John O'shea "superintended the building of the Bigelow house , one of the show places of the Carmel HIghlands. Where he subsequently lived for some time. It is rumored that there was a possible affair during the build of the property. Ask the Owner about the Man Quarters built on property in a separate suite. John O'shea established a reputation as "a most eligible bachelor " and became a popular figure n the art community as well as among the literati! Please see his Bio below to understand his full background. We look forward to having you experience the view and piece of art history on the famous California Coast of Carmel !
A Century of History
The house was built in 1919 by art patron and socialite Elizabeth Bigelow. Elizabeth was instrumental in solidifying Carmel as an artist haven, serving as a mentor and muse for local artists. Most notably, the world renowned artist John O'Shea followed Elizabeth to Carmel in 1918 from Santa Barbara. John superintended the building of the house, โ€œone of the show places of Carmel.โ€ It is rumored that the two would steal away to the โ€œMen's roomโ€ during their long, passionate affair. He did paint the view from the house (add photo).
John O'Shea Biography
One of the leading artists in the Carmel area between 1917-1945, he painted in oil, watercolor and charcoal. John's avant-garde and vibrant paintings of landscapes helped soldiery Carmel as the artistic destination it is today
Men's Room
The Men's room was originally a separate cottage. At the time, it was believed that men should not drink, smoke, gamble, and talk โ€œmasculineโ€ topics in front of women. The men would leave the women inside and spend the rest of the evening in separate. It is believed that the men's room was the location of Elizabeth and John's elicit affair. The cottage was connected to the house in the late 50s.
In 1917 O'Shea settled on the Monterey Peninsula. While maintaining a studio in his home, he became active with the art community in both Carmel (served as director-president of the Carmel Art Association) and San Francisco. Two years after his marriage to Molly Shaughnessy in 1922, the couple built a home near Smugglers Cove in Carmel Highlands. The O'Shea's led a very active social life. One of their neighbors was artist Theodore Morrow Criley who would become O'Shea's closest friend and painting companion. Other friends included poet Robinson Jeffers, photographer Edward Weston, artists Thomas Parkhurst, William Clothier Watts, William Ritschel and Burton Boundey (who had two one-man shows with O'Shea).
O'Shea continued to paint and having successful exhibititions, often solo, for many years receiving much praise for his work. Probably the highest artistic tribute was paid him by the Director of the California Palace of the Legion of Honor, who was โ€œsure that the gorgeous color and design of Mr. O'Shea's canvases will make a tremendous impression with the San Francisco public,โ€ and arranged for a showing of sixty-three of his works at the Legion in 1934.
Although trained in the East, it was through his travels in the Southwest, the South Seas, Mexico, and Hawaii, that O'Shea developed his unique style โ€“ a blend of American Impressionism, realism, and abstraction. A highly versatile artist, he left a legacy of over five hundred works in oil, watercolor, and charcoal. John O'Shea died at home on April 29, 1956 at the age of eighty.

Summary: We rented this property for a family trip in Dec 2019. First the good. The check out process was seamless, the property manager helped us find the place and check in. The Location is definitely is the highlight of this property, its private and has great views. There is a big garden, the other thing that stands out, as its expansive and has a lot of neat features to explore. As for the dwelling itself, thats were some of the points come off. The property is very old, many of the doors don't stay closed or require one to slam it to get shut. The windows leak during rain storm, there are no window treatments in some of the bedrooms so the light comes in 6am. The fire pit did not work, the handy man came by to check it out but could not get it to work. One shower did not come with a shower curtain, another shower the water temperature would not get beyond lukewarm. Some of the rooms get cold since its and older property and there is only 1 thermostat for the entire property, There was one space heater we found to help out. The kitchen has some modern appliances, but a very tiny old fridge with small freezer that can fit 1 or 2 items. Its hard to use for a large group. There is a 2nd small kitchen in another part of the house, but its separated and not as useful, though there is a bigger fridge there. All in all I would say this was on the lower end of the properties we have rented on vrbo and we would not recommend.
