Per the owner:
When we visited Carmel Highlands as potential buyers years ago, we were
enchanted with the location on the Pacific Ocean. We fell in love with
the bar that hangs over the cliff. While enjoying a cocktail or light
supper, the rocks, the Cypress trees and the waves are right below.
Watching the sunset from the bar sold us on the Highlands and is still
one of our favorite things to do. The ocean view from our unit is also
exquisite. We look south from the deck. We love how the ocean sparkles in
the afternoon sun and the rocky, green peninsula beyond is gorgeous in
any light.
The landscaping of the entire property has gotten more beautiful as the
years have gone by. The maintenance of the property is excellent!
Recently the unit interiors, the walkways and decks, and the gardens,
have all undergone a complete upgrade. The high standards that sold us
have been maintained and are excellent!
The location just South of Carmel along Hwy 1 allows for many enjoyable
picnics and hikes on the beaches and in the many parks. There are quiet
roads to enjoy by foot or car in the pretty area behind the resort and on
through Fern Canyon. Carmel, Monterrey and Carmel Valley provide
wonderful shopping, restaurants, history and nature.
All this while you have a home base in your unit where the kitchen is
available to have a simple breakfast or enjoy cooking and eating “at
home” as much or little as you prefer. The fireplace and TV offer quiet,
cozy entertainment of your choice. The Highlands pool and exercise rooms
as well as outdoor seating areas and fire pit all make your stay perfect.
Another perk is you can stay for your entire seven days each April/May or
you can book a couple of shorter stays in other units and enjoy different
views and seasons.
We treasure our many visits to the Highlands. Now as seniors it is time
to let go. We welcome you to buy in and begin finding your favorite
things about the Highlands. Welcome!

More information on our formula...
Hotels usually sleep 2 adults per room, whereas the average timeshare units offer multiple private bedrooms, sleeper sofas and sometimes even bunk beds - adding value not calculated here. Timeshare properties are condo style units that contain all of the comforts of home... and then some!
Hotel total cost includes a 10% hotel tax whereas the average U.S. hotel tax is currently around 13.4%.
Timeshare total cost includes an increase in maintenance dues each year of 3%, as well as an estimated $1,000 in closing and transfer costs. These are estimated and will vary by state, county and resort.
Total savings does not take into consideration the added benefit of a timeshare unit having a spacious living room, washer and dryer, dining room and full kitchen, all of which add value and potential savings when you have the option to do your own laundry and enjoy a home cooked meal instead of dining out.
