Bluebird Guest House: A Unique Healing Retreat in Laguna Beach
Escape to a Sanctuary of Art, Nature, and Wellness in the Heart of Laguna Beach.
Welcome to Bluebird Guest House, a one-of-a-kind vacation rental that offers a peaceful, healing retreat unlike any other. Nestled in the serene Bluebird Canyon in Laguna Beach, this eco-friendly and artistically crafted home provides the perfect blend of comfort, sustainability, and wellness. Built by renowned green building pioneer Chris Prelitz, Bluebird Guest House is a sanctuary designed with care for those seeking a quiet getaway to recharge and reconnect.
A Home Designed for Peace and Restoration
From the moment you step inside, it’s clear that Bluebird Guest House is more than just a place to stay. It’s a carefully curated environment that promotes relaxation and rejuvenation. Guests often remark on the healing energy they experience during their stay, thanks to the home’s non-toxic interior finishes, artful design, and unique construction features.
At the core of Bluebird Guest House is a commitment to creating a healthy, healing space for all who visit. From organic materials and natural finishes to a holistic design that minimizes electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure, this home is built with wellness in mind.
Featured in Leading Publications
Bluebird Guest House has been featured in Riviera Magazine, Natural Home Magazine, Laguna Beach Magazine, and other prestigious publications. These features highlight the home’s unique design, eco-friendly construction, and commitment to promoting a peaceful, healing environment for all who stay.
The Design and Features of the Home
3 Bedrooms / 3 Bathrooms
Comfortably accommodating up to 6 guests (per City of Laguna Beach regulations), Bluebird Guest House offers three beautifully designed bedrooms, each with its own bathroom for maximum privacy. Whether you’re staying with family or friends, you'll have plenty of space to relax and unwind.
Healing Art and Organic Design
One of the standout features of Bluebird Guest House is its artistic design, which blends organic elements, earth tones, and handcrafted features. The home is adorned with unique mosaics, stonework, and artwork, including beautiful seashell and tile mosaics in the baths and showers. These artistic touches have been carefully crafted to create an atmosphere that calms the mind and spirit.
Radiant Floor Heating & Stained Concrete Floors
Say goodbye to the dry air and dust associated with forced air heating. The home features radiant floor heating, which provides a steady, even warmth throughout the space. The stained concrete floors add an artistic touch while maintaining energy efficiency, offering a clean, modern aesthetic that’s both beautiful and functional.
Opening Skylights with Blockout Shades
To bring in fresh air and natural light, the home is equipped with opening skylights in several rooms. Each skylight includes a blockout shade, allowing you to control light levels and privacy as needed. This thoughtful design element helps create a light, airy, and calm atmosphere, perfect for those looking to unwind.
Private Deck with Sunset Views
Step outside onto your own private deck, a tranquil space where you can enjoy the sunset and breathtaking views. This outdoor oasis is perfect for alfresco dining, reading, or simply soaking up the beauty of the surrounding nature, adding an extra layer of relaxation to your stay. With peek ocean views and a peaceful ambiance, the deck is an ideal place to reconnect with yourself and nature.
Rare Wood Burning Fireplace with Hanging Cooking Pot
Add a touch of warmth and rustic charm to your stay with the rare wood-burning fireplace. Perfect for cool evenings, the fireplace includes a hanging cooking pot for those who want to get cozy with a hot drink or light meal. Note: "No Burn Days" may be in effect depending on local air quality regulations.
Fully Stocked Chef-Designed Kitchen
Whether you’re an experienced chef or just looking to prepare a simple meal, the kitchen is fully equipped to meet your needs with a 6 burner induction range & convection oven. From high-quality appliances to cooking tools and spices, everything you need is at your fingertips. The open-concept design and artistic touches make cooking and entertaining a pleasure.
Passive Solar Design
Bluebird Guest House utilizes passive solar principles to reduce energy consumption while keeping the home comfortable year-round. Large windows, skylights, and careful orientation of the home allow natural light to flood the interior, minimizing the need for artificial lighting and keeping the space cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
Non-Toxic and EMF Shielded
Every element of the home has been thoughtfully selected to create a healthy, non-toxic environment. All interior finishes are free from harmful chemicals, making it a safe space for those with sensitivities to off-gassing or allergies. Additionally, the home is EMF shielded with all wiring run through conduit, reducing exposure to electromagnetic radiation and contributing to a peaceful atmosphere.
The Location: Tranquil Yet Close to Everything

About the host
Your host
When I'm in town, I try and greet guests personally when they first arrive and give them a quick tour of the home. I travel a lot, so understand the needs and wants of guests.
Why they chose this property
Our home is nestled up against a greenbelt, with cool ocean breezes blowing up the canyon most every day, and a hidden tennis court just a 1/2 block away . .It's heaven on earth :)
What makes this property unique
It's very rare to find a location that has the quiet of the country yet is walking or biking distance to the fun and attractions of the Village. Bluebird Canyon is a unique area that has it all: very few neighbors, lot's of stars at night, and wildlife like deer, rabbit, and raccoons - and all right up from of one of the most beautiful beach resort towns in the world. This is truly one of the most serene and special spots on the planet to experience. You won't want to leave :)
