Description
If Cinderella and Prince Charming wanted to marry in Malibu, they might reserve the Enchanted Sea Cottage as their exclusive seaside paradise. Perched on a bluff above the Pacific, the Cottage grounds offer all the charms of a garden oasis, with an oceanside setting as an inspiring bonus.You get your first inkling of the Cottage’s delights at the end of the cobblestone driveway, where you’re welcomed by a graceful mermaid and winsome pixie painted on a pair of wooden gates. When the gates open to admit you, it’s hard to know what to take in first: the slice of ocean glistening on the horizon; the terraced garden park to the left; or the chalet-style cottage trimmed with window-boxes, and set off by a turret and a pool with its own footbridge!
The tangy sea air, laced with the seductive aroma of roses, beckons you to explore. First stop is the heart-shaped Sweetheart Lawn ringed with white roses and agapanthus, whose showy azure blossoms make their appearance every summer. Arbors entwined with climbing roses and flagstone pathways amble down the sloping park to a rose garden bursting with blooms in seashell pink, sunny yellow, warm coral and passionate red. Like a pretty swag of vintage chintz, the bower instantly cheers and brightens. In one corner, stone benches clustered beneath eucalyptus boughs offer a cozy nook for whispering “sweet nothings.”
A flight of stone steps descends to the Courtyard, a paved enclave in front of the pool. More ornamental than recreational, the small pool has a low waterfall and playful waterspouts. The arching footbridge is a lovely setting for photos, as well as the perfect place to make a wish. Nearby, Cupid and a bust of Homer guard a petite koi grotto fringed with feathery reeds. Receptions in the Courtyard take on a fairy-tale ambience, tucked between the water features and the garden staircase, which is flanked by a pair of fanciful sphinx statues. Or arrange dining tables and chairs up on the Sweetheart Lawn, where flowering foliage lends a bucolic dreaminess to gatherings.
Yet there’s one more magical spot to incorporate into your celebration: the Ocean Blufftop, behind the cottage. While guests look on from a curve of lawn, say your vows next to a blooming garden patch, accompanied by a pastel sunset and the rhythm of the waves.
To extend the idyllic mood beyond the celebration, reserve the two-story guest quarters, with a private sun deck overlooking the coast. Nautically themed décor and comfortable amenities invite you to cuddle up to a breathtaking view, and be lulled to sleep by the sound of the crashing surf.
We all love a happy ending, and at Enchanted Sea Cottage, you and your beloved will be well on your way.
