About this property

MidCentury Modern Beach Home

This is a beautiful, light-filled midcentury modern home that you will love staying in. It is 1.5 blocks to the beach and close walking distance to the downtown Village. Built in 1960 but modern and updated, it has classic vintage essence but feels clean, light, airy and filled with natural light. On one side you have a private garden with a fire pit and water fountain. And on the other side you have the Pacific Ocean, so you will feel surrounded by nature.

This 2 story home has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a large open living room, dining area, full kitchen + kitchenette downstairs, private/quiet garden with BBQ, water fountain and fire pit, ocean view patio facing the sunset, and 2 car garage. It's spacious for 6 people and the perfect place to cozy up to the fireplace, watch the sunset over the ocean with a glass of wine, warm your feet outside with the fire pit, read a book quietly in the garden, or walk to the nearest beach to sunbath or surf. Plenty of shops and restaurants nearby to have a nice dinner, fresh fish taco, or grocery store to cook at home.

The location can't be beat - within minutes you can walk to Laguna's best beaches, coffee shops, shopping, and downtown. You can leave your car in the garage and not use it your entire stay!

Beautiful place to stay
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is beautiful and very conveniently located near the grocery store, the beach, boutique shops and restaurants. All only a short walk away. The sunsets that we were able to experience from the balcony and dining area were spectacular. The garage is nice and spacious and easily fitted our large SUV. Margo was a lovely host and had excellent communication. We would not hesitate to stay again. Highly recommend.

We loved the artsy decor of this home. The water fall in the backyard was mesmerizing. We played cards at the rad dining room table for hours! We loved the fireplace and the views and the location! The location is the best! For a quiet fun sibling vacation.

Nice but not well maintained
The house was a great layout with all the usual amenities. I was surprised at the condition of the house. The floors were severely worn, walls were scuffed, the outdoor furniture was all stained and rusted. The outside seating areas were dirty upon arrival. The view was nice but there is an apartment building next door that had a lot of people coming in and out that looked a bit unsafe. Location was walking distance to most things which was nice.

Perfect Beach Getaway
The property was just as described, clean and well taken care of. The host and her father were very friendly and great with communicating via text and email. The location is a short walk to shops and restaurants on PCH and a little further to the main beach. You can see PCH and the ocean from the front patio and the rear patio is lush with vegetation and feels secluded and quiet. We had a great time.

Great spot
The home was beautiful and perfectly appointed. We had a very comfortable stay and loved the gorgeous deck. Margo was super responsive to all our questions. Only downside was some drilling on the property next door on our first day, but there wasn’t any more the rest of the weekend. Would definitely return!

Not exactly what we expected
Margo is very nice. The issues were the construction site across the street, the lack of towels, the blow dryer did not work and the steamer. It was a nice place but in my opinion a little pricy for what we got.

Charming place close to the beach
We had a lovely time. The location is very walkable to the beach - a trek that we made daily - and also close to the Ralph's. On the negative side, while the house is at the end of a dead end street which limits the amount of traffic but it is also next to the Holiday Inn and an apartment building so there it isn't scenic. They have done a great job of turning the backyard into a small oasis which does give some privacy and I felt very serene doing yoga next to the fountain. The kitchen is well stocked for just about anything that you would want to cook. All in all a great week!

Lovely minimalist home
Cozy place for individuals who highly value mid-century modern minimalist design, proximity to downtown and a partially obstructed view of the ocean –and open to some quirks (e.g., noisy, snug parking/blocked driveway, tight quarters/guests downstairs, heat/power issues).

Beautiful beach house
Beautiful home less than 2 blocks from the beach and walking distance to town. We enjoyed nightly dinners on the deck with fantastic views of the ocean, the views are even better than the pictures show. The neighborhood is quiet, perfect for relaxing and peaceful evenings after a day at the beach.

Laguna Beach Oasis
We recently stayed in this beautiful home & enjoyed our stay tremendously. The layout of the home maximizes light & ocean views. Walking distance to several beaches including the main beach & lots of eateries. Driving distance to the most coveted beaches. Most importantly, the owner was available & super responsive whenever we needed her. Would love to stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Margo Moritz

Host profile image
I'm a freelance photographer who travels often for jobs. My work takes me all over the world, and my style reflects that in a mix of MidCentury modern with touches of eclectic but refined pieces from other countries. I grew up in Laguna Beach, went to all the schools there, and all my family still lives here. I know the ins and outs of the town so can help you with recommendations for what you're looking for. I went to school at UC Santa Barbara and the Academy of Art in San Francisco.

Why they chose this property

This home is in the best possible location! You will be in the heart of Laguna Beach and can walk to downtown, all the best beaches, restaurants and shopping. You can be a part of lively downtown Laguna or keep to the home and have a quiet, peaceful stay.
