These are the coves for which Laguna Beach is famous. The cottage has an outside sand shower to knock the sand off you when you cone back from the beach. Also, There is patio dining in the rear yard with barbeque pits.

Charm Cottage Laguna Beach Call 949 494-1902 Walk 2 Everything
Year Purchased: 1981
Why the Owner Chose Laguna Beach
I bought the Cottage in Laguna Beach because I have an affinity for vintage houses and small towns. It was built in 1918 and I have to admit the marble Victorian fireplace sold me. I also love the quite neighborhood, the smell of the sea and the convenience of everything being close by. Laguna Beach is unique in that it is not a suburb, it's a small town where you know a lot of people and you are a citizen of small town America in a way. Being an art community, there are lots of intellectual activities. It's my kind of town.
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage
The beach, The ocean, the restaurants, the people, the galleries, Kickin' Back, informality, quiet, sound of birds, fresh air, relax.............
Owner's Map of Laguna Beach
I love my home here in Laguna Beach and know from past guests how much they also seem to enjoy the Elan cottage. I'm a fine art appraiser by profession. The cottage is full of art as a result of my passion. Laguna Beach is an art colony with a fine museum, over 80 art galleries and an art college. I enjoy living near the ocean and walking on the beach almost every morning, working out at the gym down the street and having coffee at Laguna Coffee . I don't use the car much. Everything I need is close at hand including over ten restaurants with in a few blocks.

C, We just wanted to send a big Thanks for making our stay at the cottage such a memorable one. We're sitting having breakfast, reflecting on our time in a Laguna and one of the biggest things we enjoyed was being able to return to a real home every day and thats thanks to the lovely home you have made in Laguna. We're currently talking about making a trek south next spring and Elan cottage is definately in our plans. Thanks again for everything. Your Alberta friends, The Mallory's
