Vacation Rentals by Owner

Walk to the Cove to catch Fresh Fish for dinner!

Spent my 50th birthday here for the first time. Think I will have to make this an annual event! Not only did my girlfriends love the view but when my husband joined me- he was thrilled with the proximity to the coves for spear fishing. I enjoyed the fresh fish he caught every day. The place was so cute and comfortable. We saw a pod of dolphins from the deck that numbered close to 100 swimming by at sunset. It was a magical time and the owners were so easy to work with. Enjoyed the experience and it met my expectations over 100%. Probably shouldn't let others know because it might be difficult for me to book next time but it made this trip so special. Thanks!

The Perfect Place

What an amazing time! Having never been to California before, we had no idea what to expect. After driving down the coast we realized we had arrived in the most perfect location! Laguna Beach is amazing and the location of Cottage C is absolutely perfect. It was the perfect distance to everything we wanted to do. We walked to the beach several times a day and it is close enough that you can easily return to the Cottage for anything you have forgotten. The Cottage is so clean and lovely. We truly felt at home. Can't wait to come back. This is our new home away from home!

We spent a lot of time looking around for accommodations in Laguna that wouldn't make us feel like we were getting ripped off. We wanted an ocean view and wanted to be in walking distance to the beach and to town. After several days of internet searches looking into hotels etc., I found the posting for this little cottage. We booked it immediately! The photos are cute but I must say that it was even cuter in person! We booked the one bedroom cottage. First off, it was spotlessly clean - very important for us! Next, it was absolutely adorable, shabby chic done right. The bed was super comfortable and the neighborhood super quiet! The kitchen by the way was shockingly well stocked for cooking, juicing, even baking, blending, whatever you want to do, you could do it in this kitchen! There was even a Champagne bucket for us to chill the Champagne we brought! We loved it here, it was cozy, relaxing, super clean, tastefully decorated and it lived up to everything I hoped it would be. Dealing with Gerri and Art was easy and I am happy to say this is the best place to stay in Laguna! Loved it, it was hard to leave! I don't give 5 stars easily and this rating was super easy to give, I would give it 6 stars if i could! And it was romantic too! One other thing, when we arrived music (jazz) had been turned on for us and was playing when we walked in, nice touch!

The Cottage was awesome! We just drove away from your lovely cottage. We had a wonderful time and made fun family memories!! The whole place was larger than we expected and the outdoor decks were especially enjoyable. Family and friends came by to visit and it was a perfect place for hosting our visitors. What a perfect location and view! We look forward to coming back again!

Cottage C is the quintessential bungalow. From the skinny wooden floors to the vibrant pictures on walls-this cottage is great! The view is wonderful inside the cottage and outside the deck. Sitting outside with a glass of wine after a day of exploring the surrounding area truly is a treat. Most important, your place is clean, clean, clean. I really appreciated the designer linens and the new throw rugs throughout the house. Your house really made our vacation wonderful Londonderry, NH We had a wonderful time here and great finish for our 3 week honeymoon trip through the Western USA. This is a perfect place for relaxing and enjoying the nature combined with great art all around. We hope that we can come back sometime.

We are leaving for home this morning and are both sad and glad. Sad to be leaving this wonderful cottage and glad to have been here for the past two and a half weeks. It is so comfortable here that we have felt right at home, away from home. The views, the places to walk, the beaches, the downtown area and Orange County in general are great! We'll be back.

John and I had a wonderful time at your perfect Laguna Beach Cottage. It was much bigger than we had anticipated; the internet photos don't do it justice. Also the view from inside the cottage and from the two decks outside was incredible; you can see up and down the coast for a hundred miles! We were completely and pleasantly surprised. We cooked "at home" most nights, either inside or on the barbecue. The small kitchen was so well stocked; it was more fun to eat at home than to go out. We are relaxed and refreshed after our week at Cottage C. John and Betty, La Quinta.

My husband and I met when we were both living in Laguna nearly 15 years ago. Laguna has always retained for me a magical feeling, and although we've made many return trips to California since we relocated in 1992, we've not been back to my "spiritual home". We have enjoyed ten glorious days here at this idyllic cottage and I feel so much at home in that I'm only surprised my family pictures aren't tucked in the bookshelves!! We've loved watching the blue skies through bedroom windows, enjoying lunch and sunsets on the patio, curling up with a book on the couch. Gerri, Art, we'll be back-hopefully on a regular basis!

We took our chances and rented what sounded like our perfect beach cottage via the Internet. It was everything you advertised and more. Thank you for all of the extra amenities which really made us feel at home here.

Just a beautiful little cottage in an idyllic setting-so lovely and comfortable. Our daughter enjoyed it immensely, while joining us in Cottage A next door. Thank you for providing the essentials and the luxuries right down to an enjoyable bottle of wine. The beach and sunsets were glorious and we leave with rich memories of another Christmas and New Years spent in an exotic location.

What a wonderful slice of heaven you have here. We had everything that we needed and then some. The view is breathtaking and your decorator's touch has made our stay much nicer than we imagined. We will return next year but I think we might need the whole place (big family). Mark Twain once said "Believe half of what you see and none of what you read". Your cottage is definitely an exception to this rule. We will recommend to all our friends.

This is truly an enchanted cottage! This is our 2nd visit in 3 years and we have wonderful memories of this lovely house (and Unit A-2 bdrm 3 years ago). Thank you for sharing this with us as well as others from all over the world. Hope see you again with our children and grandchildren Riverside, CA

You have made the perfect holiday dream a reality. During the cold English nights when the rain beats hard and the wind howls, we will warm ourselves with the memories of our peaceful time here. We'll be back. Thank you.

We're back! After our wedding here one year ago, we wanted to come back for our first year anniversary. This is a lovely cottage with a wonderful deck to relax the day away. Next year we will be bringing a third person with us-our daughter J. Thanks for your hospitality-we love Laguna Beach, it's now our second home!

I visited last year and stayed two nights in Cottage A, 2 bdrm. I was so impressed that I promised myself I would come back here. This time I had the good fortune to be able to stay for five nights in Cottage C, one bdrm. As expected I had an equally wonderful time. The views are stunning and the cottage has an idyllic individualism that inspires a sense of peace and belonging. The ambiance is created by the added provided little luxuries that make it feel truly like a home. Here you can escape to a luxury that make you fall in love with Laguna and its unique charm. The warmth and professionalism of Gerri endorses its charm. I know I will be back.
