Quiet and quaint place with amazing view
My friend and I loved our stay. Check-in was easy, no issues. Location was wonderful / just a quick walk to one of the most pretty beaches. Easy access to the free trolley. Very quiet neighborhood which was nice. Among beautiful homes. Backyard is awesome! It was a bit cool while here, so I did not get to enjoy the backyard as much as I wanted. The hummingbird nest and hummingbirds hanging around was such a nice treat. They had all the amenities we needed.

Return to Beach Cottage
Having enjoyed our previous stay at this classic and comfortable cottage, we decided to rent it again for our annual visit to Laguna Beach. It was a familiar neighborhood and a starting point for the various activities we had planned. The highlights were the beautiful garden and balconies. We can’t wait until next year!

South Laguna Rental
We spent our holiday at this rental and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It is on top of a small hill with views of the ocean from the kitchen window and kitchen balcony. It had all the necessary Amini ties for a family of four. It is in walking distance to the 1000 steps beach. It is actually 206 steps down to beach front. It is away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Laguna yet close Enough to drive or take the trolley which has a stop down the hill from the house. Just a block away there is an acquaint shopping center and a Gleason grocery store…..a bit over priced but fantastic quality. I would stay at this property again and Alexandra was very responsive.

We enjoyed how unique and quaint the cottage and garden are and how close the property is to one of the most beautiful beaches in Laguna. It isn’t luxurious, but definitely magical in its own way. We were pleased with our stay overall.

Beautiful property, beautiful cottage. Excellent location if you want to get some exercise, park the car and walk or trolley everywhere. Close enough to downtown so you can enjoy the shops and restaurants, yet far enough away from the crowds and traffic to enjoy the serenity.

Perfect location in Laguna Beach
We have visited Laguna Beach several times and stayed in resorts, condos and this charming beach cottage. This has been the best so far. Great garden to relax in, sunsets from the porch, ocean views, very comfortable beds and nicely equipped kitchen. Walk to Thousand Steps, Table Rock and West St beaches!

About the host

Laguna Beach homeowners since 2010, travelled extensively and lived in 8 countries before making Laguna our permanent home.

Why they chose this property

This cottage has occupied this enchanting property since the 1930's, initially used as a guest house for a well known east coast family. The cottage has been updated yet kept its historical charm. The garden is full of flowers, plants, and trees (including an endangered California Redwood), with a view to the ocean and ever changing Laguna Beach sunsets. While within a short walk of Pacific Coast Highway, 1000 Steps Beach, South Laguna Restaurants and a Laguna Beach Trolley stop, the property is very private and quiet. The fully equipped kitchen and outdoor grill with lots of indoor and outdoor seating provides the perfect environment to enjoy your culinary skills or just an a refreshment in the shade. After looking at dozens of properties we fell in love with the tranquility, beauty and charm of this typical Laguna Beach Cottage.

What makes this property unique

The privacy, tranquility, beautiful garden and ocean views are a unique combination in a property so close to the ocean. Hummingbirds, Sparrows, Woodpeckers, and Honey Bees are frequent guests.
