About this property

Quaint, Cozy, Historic 3BR/2BA Cottage - Six Blocks from Beach

A unique, almost 100 year old Laguna writer's home, still owned by original family. The house is three bedrooms, two baths, set on a half acre of wooded hillside, six blocks from the beach, one mile south of downtown Laguna Beach, near BlueBird Canyon.

One of Laguna's early homes, built simply with pine walls and floors, the house has a good-sized living and dining room with a wonderful fireplace.

Soaring eucalyptus trees planted around the perimeter of the property in the 1920s host a variety birds and migrating monarch butterflies. The natural, spacious landscape encourages the play of children.

The beach is a short walk from the house and offers a fascinating
change of scene as tides work their way in and out.

Perfect as an artist or family retreat.

Wonderful stay!
This charming beyond belief cottage was exactly what we wanted! Privacy, trees, birds and such an amazing rustic (yet modern!) cottage to spend your time! My husband had business and I gladly stayed at the cottage working on jigsaw puzzles or walking around outside on this amazing property! Will definitely stay here again when in OC!!

Cozy cabin in eucalyptus trees
We loved our time in Laguna in this cozy 1920s cabin in a grove of eucalyptus trees. At times i felt like I was in a tree house, it was so delightful. The deck made for lovely mornings with a cup of coffee and cocktail hour as the sun set. We appreciated how walkable it is to the beach coves. The fireplace made for a cozy winter visit. We appreciate the family history of this cottage and are grateful for our time there.

We loved staying at your place. The history trees, etc
The authenticity and feeling of your place was wonderful. I met with my college room mate from the mid 1960's and our wives. We were celebrating our 80th B days. Thanks so much. Peace and LoveBill and Kathryn and Kim and Angela

Amazing stay in a historical cabin
We highly recommend this location for a stay in Laguna Beach or Irvine. It is an amazing structure that dates back to the 1920s. We loved seeing the stages of development recorded in the main room photos. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook breakfast and dinner, and we looked forward to our daily walks in the neighborhood. We cannot wait to return in the future!

Wire Cottage
Coming from the Los Angeles fires, my family was feeling very fragile. As luck would have it, we met a wonderful mother at Bluebird Park, Laura, who introduced us to this rental. Charming, restorative, peaceful--we couldn't have asked for more during our stay with our 15 month old son. Surrounded by light, trees and wood, we enjoyed beautiful meals on the deck and walks through the serene neighborhood to the beach. We will definitely be coming back and cannot wait for others to share a similar experience.

Charming cabin in a wonderful location
We enjoyed the quirkiness and charm of the home - made us feel like we were in a mountain cabin and yet it was right near the beach and downtown. Nice quiet neighborhood to go on walks and for families.

Quirky in the best ways, great patio, comfortable beds, in walking distance to so many great beaches, stores and restaurants while feeling secluded from everything in an amazing suburban forested retreat.

Beautiful weekend getaway
Another couple and my husband and I all stay here for a wedding that was at Crystal Cove. The stay was so relaxing and exactly what wee needed for a getaway. Very close to good food and shops and a short walk from the beach. We loved how quiet and tucked away this cute little cabin was it felt like a dream! Definitely a rustic time-capsule home! We will definitely book here again.

Original handmade cabin in the woods
It is so very charming. However, we were there a hot week and the house never cooled off even tho our hostess obtained a fan from next door. We loved the charm, we loved pretending we were living in the woods, but the tv was broken, the hostess tried to help us fix it, but couldn’t.I think this place would be a ten if there were just a few changes

Laguna cabin in the woods.
Property was lovely & nostalgic. However, I think some things could be upgraded. The master bedroom carpet was old & didn’t look clean. The bedding (Duvets) could use an upgrade maybe refreshed colors. The windows & sills were very dirty & patio was filthy & covered with eucalyptus leaves. The leaves should have been raked & cleaned up before place was rented to us

WIRE COTTAGE
Really nothing to add. It was perfect for our purpose. Just three suggestions for future guests: 1) provide TV use instructions; 2) provide wifi access info, and 3) have some coffee grinds available. We were able to satisfy all three since your friends were their and provided the wifi password, and thus we were able to watch some of the Olympics on my laptop computer. And the coffee was no big deal. We just bought some. But many guests expect to have coffee available. Thanks, Annette and Steve!

Cottage bliss
Our 2nd time staying at Wire Cottage and it was perfect again. Simple walk down to the beach and town, plenty of pots, pans, plates, cooking materials, etc. and the hobbit sized doorways were still as fun as ever. The deck area is perfect to sit and read at in the afternoon or evening and the neighborhood was fantastically quiet, even during the 4th of July weekend.

We stayed just one night for a wedding. Each room felt separate and private which was great for two couples plus my mother in law who watched our baby at the house while we went to the wedding. Able to walk down to beach and along the main drag. perfect and exactly what we needed!!

Very quaint and charmingly rustic. Tucked away in the hillside trees and close to Woods Cove. Perfect setting. We had a relaxing winter getaway at the beach and weather was cool but lovely.
