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.

This home is an historic gem, a throw-back to very early Laguna Beach, and what many homes in CA coastal communities used to look like. It is very rustic and cabin-like. Cozy inside with a lovely deck outside. You'll feel as though you are in a tree-house. Very private. Five-stars for the uniqueness and the historic quality, but a 4-star rating overall because the bed comfort needs some updating. Would stay again.

The cottage was located in a quiet, peaceful area just a short walk from the beach. It provided the privacy and relaxation my husband wanted and the proximity to shops and restaurants that my young adult children wanted. It offered the best of both worlds.

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.

Charming cabin in a wonderful location

We enjoyed the quirkiness and charm of the home - made us feel like we were in a mountain cabin and yet it was right near the beach and downtown. Nice quiet neighborhood to go on walks and for families.

Wonderful stay!

This charming beyond belief cottage was exactly what we wanted! Privacy, trees, birds and such an amazing rustic (yet modern!) cottage to spend your time! My husband had business and I gladly stayed at the cottage working on jigsaw puzzles or walking around outside on this amazing property! Will definitely stay here again when in OC!!
