We stayed in the South Cottage for 4 nights. This truly was a special treat and one to be remembered for a long time - I can still visualize the breathtaking coastal view and the fabulous cottage gardens, with its variety of scents, colour, hummingbirds and busy bees at work.
Gary (Manager/Owner) was on hand to show us around the property, upon our arrival. It is decorated to a very high standard, but without being too overwhelming or intimidating The house has been designed to capture the coastal view from every aspect of the 2 bedroom cottage. Outside, there is seating galore, depending upon what you would like to view - the Pacific, the cliffs, the cottage garden, or the house itself.
The only minor glitch was that the address I was given via the VRBO check-in link, was not the correct house number of the cottage. We ended up at the main house, known locally as "The Basic Instinct" house. This caused a little confusion at first, but was soon rectified after speaking to the renters of the large house.
We have rented many VRBO's over the years and this cottage certainly makes our top 3. If you are lucky enough to stay here, I hope you enjoy it, as much as we did. We hope to return one day, you can't beat Carmel Highlands and its surrounds. Thank you, Gary, for allowing us to experience your vision and hard work.
