We shared the place with another family. This is a beautiful house and well maintained. It was tight for the big people in the front house, but we had a great time in the kitchen and living room with fireplace. And the location to the beach is great!

Loved our stay at the Maison Blanc cottage! Great location in walking distance of shops/restaurants/beach - quiet, cozy and perfectly equipped for everything one would need for a stay in beautiful Laguna Beach. Enjoyed hiking at El Morro Canyon, Crystal Cove State Park and the Laguna Coast Wilderness areas. Dining at Starfish, Beach House and Mozambique were all excellent. Worst part is we had to leave!

We stayed at Maison Blanc from January 22 to February 5th 2010. We found your rental home as comfortable as our own home. The living /Dining space and kitchen are very relaxing and efficient. I like your gas stove better than my own! Loved all the books such an interesting collection, some of which I will certainly now have to purchase for my own. .The king bed was quite comfortable. I like to read before sleep and wished that there were bedside lamps so I didn't have to get out of the bed to shut off the lights. Walking along the waterfront through Heisler Park to town was a wonderful experience everyday,as well as the public beach access so the location of Maison Blanc was perfect for that.We really enjoyed our stay.

My husband and I stayed at this lovely house located in N.Laguna Beach on PCH in February. The ownner was most helpful with any concerns and questions. The house was well maintaied and equipped. We walked daily along the beach. We enjoyed Thai Brothers, The Mandarin (across the street), Hapi Sushi, and La Sirena Restaurants.Captain Dave's Whale Watch in Dana Point was lots of fun.

We spent 5 days in your beautiful house and enjoyed it immensely. We were in town for my son's wedding and 3 couples stayed very comfortably. We also hostted 2 evening gatherings for some of the out of town guests staying at local motels. The kitchen and living room in the main house were a very fine gathering place. Should we be in the area again we would consider staying at you home again. Thanks again for a memorable experience.

We just returned home to New York and I wanted to drop you a line about how lovely your house was to stay in.It was so very comfortable and easy to relax in. We weren’t there too much of the time but when we were, we were able to unwind. The kids liked having their own space, as did Jed & I.Your decorating is magnificent! I came home with ideas on colors, curtains, lighting, etc. It really inspired me to make some changes to our house in Scarsdale . By the way, can you tell me the make of the bed in the MBR and the curtains as well? I also fell in love with the dishes with the roosters on them. I’d love to buy them!

I hosted 6 friends from around the country at this charming house and it was perfect for us. The living room and kitchen were ideal gathering places. The cottage was comfortable for 6, but more than that could feel crowded. There were plenty of bathrooms. Its an easy walk to Crescent Bay where we went to the beach and watched the sunset each evening. The television, sterio, etc were frustrating to figure out, but didn't really need them. We will definitely consider coming back to this special place!

I want you to know how much we enjoyed staying in your beautiful home. Everything imaginable that we might need was there. You must be a very interesting person because your books were so interesting. We loved looking at them. Our family will cherish our time together in your home

The house is spectacular. We had such a great time. Super cozy with a long bar to help get us in the mood. Tremendous lighting and stereo system. My husband and I had a blast. The other building was great to put the kids in. I liked the gated patio. We had safety and privacy.

We had a great time in this wonderful home. The house is so charming. Ever walked into a home and had the greaest feeling. This home is very special. Perfect place to bring my future wife. She was so happy. The design in fabulous. The lighting is spectacular along with the surround sound. The granite bar made us really want to party it up. The only thing bad about the place is we did not want to leave.

This close-to-the-beach house was perfect for our family-friends reunion. With the studio and the den the kids had their own private fun and the main house is perfect for celebrations and entertaining. I love that this house was once a church as the vibe is great there. We'll definitely be back!

We had a great time on a recent stay at this home. The house is decorated very tastefully with many amenties for your total comfort as well as a nice size patio for outdoors fun. Located within walking distance to the beach as well as shops and resturants. I highly recommend this house for your next vacation, I know that I will return.

We had a get together with 9 women in our family. The house is beautiful with updated kitchen and bathrooms. We enjoyed listening to music, playing cards and catching up with each other. We walked down to the beach and then to the market. We had wonderful weather. I almost had to miss out on this get together, but since there was internet connection, I was able to work and enjoy my family at the same time. The studio provided a nice get away to do work. Can we find out information on where the dinner plates with the rooster were found? My aunt really loved them. We will be back!!!

We enjoyed a wonderful stay at this beautiful home in Laguna Niguel. There was plenty of room for all 8 of us plus our three little dogs. It was nice to have privacy in the main house, to have the kids in the guest house (with their own tv and fridge)and also to have a fenced in outdoor area for the dogs. The home is in beautiful condition, very clean and recently renovated. Fabulous beaches were about a 7 minute walk right out the front door. The great room is fabulous, high quality sound equiment, plasma TV, wireless internet and plenty of room for everyone to be together. We would definitely vacation here again!
