  I usually never bother to write a review, but I was so impressed and happy with our stay at this home that I wanted to share some good thoughts. The house was very nicely decorated (and perfectly clean) and even roomier than I thought. We had two adults, two teenagers and two young kids (1 infant and 1 toddler) and we were very comfortable. The kitchen and dining area are very roomy and modern and we cooked many of our meals to save a few dollars. The location was perfect as we walked easily (with infants) everywhere (to the beach, downtown, grocery stores, resteurants and everything Laguna Beach has to offer......... which by the way, if you have never been to any of the Orange County and LA County beaches, in my opinion Laguna is the nicest - laid back, not pretentious, family friendly, not too crowded, not too touristy, great walking beach). Tara was a wonderful host and she treated our family with great respect and went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed to have a nice week. The home is stocked with lots of extras that made our beach trips better (sand toys, beach chairs, kid body boards, nerf football/beach toys, etc.). Overall, I would highly recommend this home for both a family or singles/couples looking to be walking distance to everything. I am looking forward to returning with just my wife and I sometime soon and will definitely stay here again.

  We stayed at this wonderful beach house this summer and it was ideal. The location is the best part - just a few blocks from the beach and everything you need. We never used our car. Our young children enjoyed it as well and it was perfect for our family of 4. Tara was wonderful and very responsive to our questions and needs. She provided everything from coffee in the morning to all our needs for the beach. I would highly recommend this home to anyone. Thank you Tara for making our vacation stress free!

  Cannot recommend this enough. The pictures do not do justice to how nice the place is. Tara takes real care of the unit. It's beautifully maintained and in a great location - a five minute walk from main beach. Don't be put off by the hill picture - its at the bottom of a hill you never need walk up. it's small but cosy. two nice double bedrooms. free wifi, a great tv and lounge and very nice kitchen. go for it; you won't regret it.

  Wow! What a beautiful, modern beach house with all the extras needed for a fun stay in Laguna Beach! The location is superb!! We walked to the beach with 3 kids, rode the free trolley, and walked every evening to restaurants and to get gelato!! The house is so comfortable, clean and has everything you need to make your stay pleasant. We very much felt at home. The owner was very accessible and did everything she could to make our stay a happy one! The pictures of this house don't do it justice because it is even more beautiful in person! We plan to rent this house again on our next beach vacation in Laguna! Anyone who rents this lovely house will be very glad that they did!!

  We stayed in this beautiful cottage in June when we suprised our young children with a trip to Disneyland! We couldn't have been happier with Tara's home, it was perfect for our family. Such a cute and clean little place and we felt right at home. The home is located within walking distance to The Main Beach and shopping. We fell in love with Laguna Beach. Tara was so sweet and made sure we had everything we needed. We will definately be back and we will recommend this home to all our friends and family.

  My husband, daughter, a friend and I just returned from a week in Laguna Beach celebrating the girl's high school graduation. After searching many choices on VRBO, we decided to stay at Tara's beautiful beach cottage. We could not have asked for better accommodations. First of all, it is centrally located within walking distance to the beach, restaurants, art galleries and shops. The home was comfortable for the four of us to relax. We all felt like it was home away from home. The beds were comfortable with enough blankets to keep warm on cool nights. The cottage was clean and decorated very nicely (the pictures don't do it justice). The kitchen was equipped with everything you would need if cooking in is your thing. Tara checked in with us frequently to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. She also offered advice on good restaurants and points of interest worth visiting. At the end of the week, we were sad to say good bye to our new friend and to her beautiful beach cottage. We will definitely be back soon!
