About this property

Quaint, Cozy, Historic 3BR/2BA Cottage - Six Blocks from Beach

A unique, almost 100 year old Laguna writer's home, still owned by original family. The house is three bedrooms, two baths, set on a half acre of wooded hillside, six blocks from the beach, one mile south of downtown Laguna Beach, near BlueBird Canyon.

One of Laguna's early homes, built simply with pine walls and floors, the house has a good-sized living and dining room with a wonderful fireplace.

Soaring eucalyptus trees planted around the perimeter of the property in the 1920s host a variety birds and migrating monarch butterflies. The natural, spacious landscape encourages the play of children.

The beach is a short walk from the house and offers a fascinating
change of scene as tides work their way in and out.

Perfect as an artist or family retreat.

The home was exactly as described and exceeded our expectations. We loved its' cozy, rustic charm; as well as the proximity to the beach and shops. We had to change dates 2x leading up to our stay and Steve/Annette were very gracious and accommodating.

The cottage definitely lived up to the 5 star reviews I read before arriving. Comfortable, romantic, peaceful, and within easy walking distance to restaurants and beaches. We were in town for a wedding and so glad to be staying here and not at a hotel.

Great location - private yet within easy walking distance from beaches, shops and restaurants. Comfortable beds. Bathrooms adequate, but only one (spacious) shower. It is very rustic. Could use some TLC and some upgrades.

Amazing stay in a historical cabin

We highly recommend this location for a stay in Laguna Beach or Irvine. It is an amazing structure that dates back to the 1920s. We loved seeing the stages of development recorded in the main room photos. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook breakfast and dinner, and we looked forward to our daily walks in the neighborhood. We cannot wait to return in the future!

Nice hideaway in Laguna

Very quaint and charmingly rustic. Tucked away in the hillside trees and close to Woods Cove. Perfect setting. We had a relaxing winter getaway at the beach and weather was cool but lovely.

Wire Cottage

Coming from the Los Angeles fires, my family was feeling very fragile. As luck would have it, we met a wonderful mother at Bluebird Park, Laura, who introduced us to this rental. Charming, restorative, peaceful--we couldn't have asked for more during our stay with our 15 month old son. Surrounded by light, trees and wood, we enjoyed beautiful meals on the deck and walks through the serene neighborhood to the beach. We will definitely be coming back and cannot wait for others to share a similar experience.

Cute But Old Little Cottage

Location was perfect. The lock box for the key was a little finickey and took a few brains to open. We did encounter a few spiders trying to crawl into our suitcase one of the nights. Overall a great location and a cute little place! Cons: Doorways are extremely narrow Floors creek everywhere you step Spider visitors Pros: Great location Easy to get to Beautiful outdoor patio

Oasis in the city

The eucalyptus trees towering over the property and shading the patio were delightful. What a surprise to find this eccentric cabin-in-the-woods so close to beach and surrounded by traditional urban properties. There were more spiders and webs in doorways then my city dwelling children would have liked but it was the off season and we were not put out. The large outdoor patio was an extra bonus. This place would be a perfect retreat during the hot days of summer.

Very quirky but lovable

Loved the cabin & reading about its history. Apparently the cleaners did not show up to clean/wash sheets, towels and empty trash cans. I would recommend finding a new service.

Unique, cozy, charming stay

The house and property are historic and a truly unique experience. Loved the history, the view, and the location. If you are used to a king-sized bed with your partner, the beds are small (double/queen). They are good quality but on the harder side. That would not keep me from coming back. The sunset views over the ocean from the porch are amazing, a 5-minute walk to the beach. Close drive to Crystal Cove, my favorite. Enjoyed all the historical information about the property, Orange County, and Laguna. Highly recommend this property.

Cute tree house.

What a quant little place. It reminds me of a the Tarzan Treehouse at Disneyland. It’s small and cozy with squeaky floors and tiny doorways. Such a beautiful setting among the Eucalyptus trees on the end of a tropical hillside. It has almost everything you’d need with lots of clean towels, kitchen ware and a big grill out on the amazing redwood deck overlooking the ocean. Be prepared for small, but beautiful. Quant but amazing. It’s priced right and we can’t wait to go back. An economical way to enjoy Laguna to the fullest without breaking the bank.

Comfy Cottage

We loved our stay. The house was so cute and in a quiet area. The huge surrounding trees and bushes made it seem tucked away in an area far from a citty but was actually so close to the beaches and main beach. We enjoyed game nights out on the deck with the ocean view in the background. There is no ac so bring a fan if you can. Luckily we brought a couple fans. They had beach chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards. Oh and private off the street parking! Amazing! We want to stay there again.

Laguna Beach Cabin

This is a very quaint, but very rustic cabin. The location is wonderful. The setting is beautiful and the hosts were responsive and wonderful to work with. We were not prepared for how rustic the accommodation is. There were 5 adult family members preparing for a wedding. We had to share one bathroom as there is only one shower.The other bathroom does not have a practical bathing facility. The lighting is poor, so difficult to get glamorous. That being said, the outdoor spaces are beautiful and you cannot beat the location; within walking distance to the beach and multiple great cafes, restaurants and shops. If you are prepared for a rustic cabin in the woods, then I would definitely recommend!
