High season is almost fully booked - all that is left available is Labor Day and after. Early fall is the best time to be in Laguna - beautiful weather without the crowds!
Conveniences and comfort abound in this well-appointed partial ocean view home that has been in our family for over 35 years. We hear from our guests that the house has a great feeling to it, it's comfortably furnished without being fussy. And that's our intent: comfortable and relaxing. It's a great spot for a vacation!
This home is great for both families and those wanting romantic getaways. With hardwood floors, views of the blue Pacific Ocean and Santa Catalina Island, the house is half a block from the stairs to the beach and the trolley/bus stop. This home makes the perfect spot to relax, live the California beach and golf lifestyle. A great base for day trips!
The master bedroom features hardwood floors, a plush king bed and an attached bath, while the other bath is adjacent to the other bedrooms and the hallway. The second bedroom has carpeting, extra long twin beds, while the third bedroom features a lovely slate floor, and a twin daybed with a twin pop-up trundle. This room also serves as a reading or TV room. We have two portable bed pads (5" thick - take twin linens - surprisingly comfortable!) that add space for two more.
The kitchen has everything you'll need, even spices. Both gas and charcoal grills sit just outside the kitchen door. There is a large window-like pass through that allows the cook to be included in the conversations and activities in the dining and living areas. With two furnished patios, one with full ocean view, relaxing and dining al fresco are commonplace.
The house is stocked with vacation ease in mind - in addition to abundant linens, magazines and books, sand chairs and beach towels, boogie boards and beach umbrellas, cooler, sand toys, children's books & toys are all there - go ahead, pack lightly! There's broadband internet for those who would like to stay connected - bring your laptop!
Families will appreciate that the house comes with 2 high chairs, a child gate and 2 portable cribs, and that the patio out the front door is gated allowing for contained children's play. There's even a great park one block south!
The one car garage has washer, dryer and an automatic garage door opener, plus spaces for two more cars in the driveway. Two additional parking spaces in front of the house can be blocked for our guests' use. To avoid scarcity & high expense of parking in the Village and beaches, public transportation is easy thanks to the free summer Trolley and local buses. The Trolley and bus stops are a super-convenient half block away.
In walking distance of restaurants and convenience stores, it's easy to get to the many fine restaurants, Laguna's infamous varied beaches, art galleries, shops and art festivals - Laguna provides exploring at its best!
Challenging golf is just around the corner. Less than a mile in each direction are two courses - the hidden, lush locals' nine hole course at Aliso Creek, and the world-class course of the Monarch Beach Golf Links, adjacent to the St Regis Resort. Designed by Robert Trent, Jr. this course has been the host to many nationally-televised events and is situated on lovely ocean front and ocean view property. Truly a spectacular day of golf awaits you!
Located a half hour from John Wayne Airport, one and a half hours from LAX, one hour from San Diego' Lindburgh airport, the house makes a convenient house to reach. A central base for day trips, it is 45 minutes south of Disneyland, and one hour north of the wonderful San Diego area, including attractions such as Sea World, San Diego Zoo and Legoland. The sights, sounds and flavors of Mexico lie just over the border. In addition, the house is one and a half hours south of the sights and cultural gems in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills, making Laguna the ideal Southern California location!
If shopping is your thing, the renowned South Coast Plaza and Newport Fashion Island offer high-end boutiques and world-known designer shops. If spending days being pampered is of interest, there are fabulous spas very close by at the Montage Resort and Spa, St. Regis Monarch Beach Resort and Spa, and the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel. There are also a number of very lovely day spas in Laguna that we also recommend.
Laguna has been our favorite place since our own childhoods. We have a book of information and locals' tips about the restaurants and area attractions, and would be happy to share with you our knowledge and love of the area.
We accept personal checks, and give you the option of PayPal, a secure method of transferring funds or using credit cards. Please inquire and ask to see a copy of the rental agreement for all the terms.
We welcome you to come and share lovely Laguna Beach with us, and look forward to having you return year after year! |
