We brought our daughter to Laguna for a graduation trip, because she loves the beach. We couldn't have picked a better place to stay than the Beach House. Everything was as advertised, if not better. The location was perfect, the house was clean, the beds were comfortable, the views were better than expected and Bob delivered everything promised. We hated to leave and will definitely be back.

My husband and I returned for our second stay at Bob's beach house. Everything was exactly as expected and very clean.--all we had to do was buy food and relax and enjoy the view. We would very much recommend this house and the location to our friends. We particularly liked to walk the few short blocks to town--it really is that convenient. The beach is within easy walking distance too.

Just Perfect - Exactly what the Dr. Ordered - and more....

Guest Michael P.

Review Submitted 02/27/13

The photos on here don't do the house justice - the ocean view from the outside terrace, main bedroom, or living room is exquisite.... The property's location is phenomenal. A 5 min walk (tops) to everything, beach, shops and restaurants.... Quality linens and furniture and meticulously clean. And - if any future stayers are interested - there's a lovely, heated, community pool a few hundred yards up the hill from the house which was great. We only came across it in the final few days of our stay, which was fine, but in case anyone does as we did and stumble across it, I hope this info is helpfully. Many Thanks for giving us a perfect base to maximise our enjoyment for our time in S Cali Mike

Relaxing vacation

We actually shared this property with some friends during the month. Since this was during the holiday of Thansgiving, we also invited family to join us. We prepared the turkey and had much room for everyone to enjoy. We brought our tennis rackets and found quite a few tennis courts straight up Park Drive. We tried several new restaurants. Nicks was excellent, Pelican Hill was wonderful. We walked almost daily and you almost do not need a car since everything is so close. We also went to Disneyland during our stay. The property was clean and nicely decorated. All three bedrooms have queen size beds that were very comfortable. The VIEWS!! and the great courtyard... What more can you say. We have recommended this property to our friends and family.

Delightful vacation home, perfect location!

Guest Dawn

Review Submitted 08/24/12

Our family thoroughly enjoyed a week at this property! The location is perfect, as it has a beautiful view, with a quiet setting, and then it's only a five to ten minute walk to town and the main beach. The house is well maintained, clean, and was very comfortable for our family of five, which included our adult son, our daughter and son-in-law. The listing description and pictures are definitely accurate, and the view is more beautiful than pictured. It was so relaxing to get up in the morning, sip coffee on the front porch, hear the waves... then gradually get ready and walk down to the beach. We loved being able to BBQ and enjoy meals on the back patio. The sunsets were beautiful from the front porch! The owner, Bob, was so easy to work with, and was very helpful. We came home to Virginia full of sweet memories of our stay at this home in Laguna Beach. We're definitely having withdrawals!

A little piece of Laguna heaven

Guest Mona

Review Submitted 08/05/12

Our family thoroughly enjoyed every day of our stay in this special home. It was spacious yet cozy and we felt completely safe with the young children. The location is impeccable. Everything you need is either in the house or easily attainable close by. You feel private and at the same time a part of the charming atmosphere which is Laguna Beach. We love NOT having to use a car. Walking and taking the local trolley gets you up and down the coast and canyon to a host of beaches, restaurants, parks, playgrounds, sightseeing adventures, as much or as little as you like. Birds and flowers surround you in this secret garden paradise. Smell the coffee. Sip the wine. Enjoy this little piece of Laguna heaven. Save our spot. We'll be back!

Excellent Vacation Property!

We are a family of four, and we recently stayed at this vacation rental. I can not say enough good things about this property.... It was everything we hoped for in a vacation home. The owner, Bob, was extremely accommodating and very easy to communicate with. The transactions with Bob were very smooth and flawless. The location of this property is ideal... very close to town (a short walk) but far enough away that the property is very quiet. In fact, you can hear the ocean waves in the evening. The property is very clean and well maintained and has everything (and more!) you may possibly need. We were pleasantly surprised to find many board games in one of the closets. The beds were extremely comfortable and our two young children were delighted to have their own rooms. The backyard is very peaceful and we enjoyed having our breakfast on the back patio. We had a wonderful stay at this property and can not wait to return. We will be back!

This place was awesome. We stayed for 2 weeks and loved our time here. Beautiful porch for viewing ocean while sharing a bottle of wine. Roomy for family of 4 and perfect walking distance to all amenities including ocean. Lovely, and very tastefully updated and owner was attentive all needs. Would definitely come back here to stay!!

This property is perfect. We are a family of five, with three young kids (under 4), and it was just what we needed. All the amenities are there. Just a short walk (a few blocks) to the beach, shopping, restaurants, etc. Owner was great. As an added benefit, the owner's wife is a professional photographer and has won various awards in Orange County. We did a family photoshoot on the beach and she was fantastic to work with. We would definitely stay there again.

Wonderful Stay

Guest Amanda

Review Submitted 05/15/12

The pictures don't really do this home justice... The pics look amazing, but the unit truly exceeded our expectations! It is tastefully furnished and has all the amenities you would expect from a more expensive rental; this home has a warm and welcoming feel. The balcony is great and you can sit and watch the ocean -- beach access is close by, only a five (5) minute walk. Moreover, the owner was gracious and extremely accommodating. I would recommend this home and would stay here again!

My 5th time renting in LB and by far the best location we've had. Everything you could possibly want is a short 5 minute walk. Bob K. was responsive to all my inquiries and property description was accurate. TV in every bedroom was nice. Would defintely hope to stay at this property on future visits.

We have stayed at this property, and the one bedroom adjacent by the same owner, at least 6 times now and it is amazing. The unit is a five minute walk from the beach, town and Whole Foods. We park the car and don't need to drive until check out. The upkeep is immaculate, literally spotless. The three bedroom home is enormous, private and gorgeous with a huge front porch and private backyard with barbecue. I stay with my two children and we could easily invite another family and still have space to spare. We rent in Laguna at least 20 times a year and this is far and away the best rental property we have ever stayed in.

We stayed at the property for 10 days. The house is in immaculate condition and is just as nice as the photo's make it look. The ocean view is fabulous and the house contains everything you need for an enjoyable stay. The property manager is extremely friendly and very helpful. The house is only a very short walk to the town center and the beach. We will definitely be coming back and I would recommend the property and the property manager to anybody looking to rent a vacation home in the area.

My parents from the UK and us from Sydney stayed here for 15 nights. We had a lovely time, the house was very well equipped with everything you need and more which made it home from home and made our stay very easy and hassle free. Very clean and met with the description. The location was fabulous walking distance from the beach and cafes and restaurants. The owner was great to deal with and we would highly recommend if visiting Laguna Beach.

Guest Rebekah

Review Submitted 12/22/11

We were very happy with our experience with the owner. He was very helpful in giving us information when we were planning our trip. He greeted us upon arrival. The house was very nice. It was comfortable and not too fancy for a beach house. It was also perfect for families with young children. The owner knew we had a baby and provided us with strollers, a high chair and a pack n play. The description is accurate in the listing. However, I think the house is nicer than the listing shows. It is hard for the pictures to do the property justice. The property was well maintained, but again, it was relaxed and comfortable to come home to after a day on the beach. I would definitely recommend this property, especially to families or couples. It is so close to really great restaurants and the beach. The location can't be beat! And, the property comes with two parking spots!

Thanks for a great week. We enjoyed the view which was better than expected. Easy walk to town and beach...which we did several times per day. Everything we needed was in place. We told Bob to keep our deposit and book us for 2012. We're looking foward to another great week.

The house is a great place to enjoy a beach vacation. Close proximity for walks to the beach, shops, & restaurants. Nice safe neighborhood. Parking for two cars was a great benefit when we had guests. Pretty views of the ocean. Backyard provided a relaxing setting as well. Rooms are nice sized and comfortably accomodated a family of 6. Great little Mexican restaurant - La Sirena Grill - just down the hill on Mermaid Street. Bob, the owner, was friendly and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend this place to others.

We stayed at this Laguna Beach house during spring break with our college age kids. The location is perfect. Once you are there, the car is parked and you can walk everywhere. The beach is just down the street. Great restaurants for sushi, pasta, fish, burgers and breakfast burritos are only a couple blocks away. The kitchen is well appointed if you want to cook at home. The perfect setup for a family that doesn't want to spend their vacation in the car.

The house was ideal for a family travelling with a baby. It was a short walk to the beach and main strip. Also, the porch that overlooks the ocean makes a wonderful spot to enjoy a glass of wine. We'd highly recommend this place.

Best Secret in Laguna

Guest Scott

Review Submitted 11/08/11

My family and I have flown from Atlanta and have stayed in the Main house two separate months over the last two years and are absolutely sick we can't make it back this year! There is no other home we would stay in after our experience with this Home and the Owner. In fact, I hate writing such a good review because I want to make sure this home is available anytime my family and I travel...however you would be missing out on all that Laguna Beach has to offer if you did not stay Here! The house itself has Everything! It is truly a Picturesque and fully Updated Cottage home overlooking Downtown Laguna and offering breathtaking views of the Ocean...oh and amazing Sunsets. If you like the Sunsets here at the house Be Sure and take a 5 minute car ride just up the Street to Alta Laguna Park (Top of the World) and enjoy the most breathtaking sunsets Laguna can Offer. This house has everything needed for a short stay or a month long stay like my family did. We have two young children and the owner even had a pack n play, highchair, and strollers waiting on us when we arrived for our youngest. You walk literally three blocks and you are in the heart of downtown Laguna and the Shops, Restaurants, and Beaches. With young kids that made life in Laguna Incredibly easy! The owner lives in Laguna as well and is a wealth of knowledge on all the things both to do and not to do. Having been two times now my wife and I feel like it's "Our Home" and our kids ask all the time when are we going back. We even flew our parents out to visit for a week and they stayed behind the home in one of the Owners 1 Bedroom Studio Apartments which was perfect for them. If you want to experience an authentic Laguna Beach stay, then I would say there is no other place that can provide the total package like this property. We can't say thanks enough to the owner for providing the Best Secret in Laguna!

We stayed in this house for a week with our two married children and our grandson. It was a perfect location for parking the car and walking to the beach, restaurants and activities. The house is exactly as described with friendly, quiet neighbors. The ocean view and sunsets from the balcony are breathtaking. We ate in the village and BBQ'd at the house - all without getting back in the car the entire week. The owner, Bob, was very accomodating and the house was immaculate with comfy beds and nice bathrooms. We have recommended to many friends and certainly hope to return to this house again.
