Downtown Condo, Immediate Access To The Main Beach, Great For Families!

Spent a week in this property with my family (wife, 2 toddlers, mother in law) during peak Laguna summer tourist season. The location is perfect in terms of getting around and getting most of the things you need on vacation. The condo is very decent size, and with 3 bedrooms and 3 baths we all fit fine. View is obviously insane, as it is right across from the beach at North Main, with a direct line view of the coast to the north. The only issue we struggled with was that the condo can get uncomfortably warm. Like many Laguna residences there is no central air and even with all the windows open it doesn't get much of a draft going through inside. A hot day outside meant for a hot day inside, though there are some standing fans provided that help a little bit. We didn't totally get used to it but we acclimated and as the week wore on it wasn't a big deal. Everything here is in working order, including a swimming pool that was surprisingly nice. I never understood the people that would opt for the pool in the hotels (I grew up in Laguna Beach, often baffled by the behaviors of tourists) when the ocean was a few feet away, but my kids loved the pool and I guess it's a bit safer and less volatile than yellow flag surf/current situations at the beach. So it was nice to have. I would certainly recommend this property to people visiting Laguna.

This was our third time in Laguna Beach and first in a VRBO. Our family (2 adults, 2 kids) spent a week at this beautiful condo and loved every minute of it. The condo is even better in person from what the pictures show. I searched VRBO's for months and couldn't have been happier with the Price and Location of this place.

The minute you walk in and see the incredible views of the beach and ocean from both the living room and master bedroom you'll be pleased. There are two master bedrooms and a third room with 2 beds and a large tv that the kids loved. We had guests join us for a few days that loved having their own large room. We spent every day enjoying coffee on the balcony in the am and wine in the evening taking in the perfect views. We had a couple of local friends also come and visit us during the day and they were blown away with the views and layout of the condo and thought it was perfect.

The owners were great and we are planning to rent this same place next year.

The only little issue we had was a noise complaint from a neighbor which was funny because we were there w our kids (and another couple for a few days) and we weren't ever that loud so be aware that this isn't a party spot.

Overall - Loved It and will be back.

I booked this property for my family over a month while our home was being remodeled. We have two boys, ages 5 and 2. This unit was an absolute dream. Here's why:

1. Location: This unit is across the street from a beach with a playground and one of the most picturesque parks (Heisler) in Southern California. There are miles and miles of ocean-view CA state park hiking trails starting a quarter mile up the hill behind the building as well!

1B. Location. All of Laguna Village begins within a 1 minute walk. The unit is a 3 minute walk to the best sushi restaurant in OC (Fusion 242) and one of the best Gelato stops in OC...and a juice bar, and Whole Foods, etc...

2. View. Whatever photos you're seeing online do not do this place justice. I've paid twice as much a night for single rooms with lesser views.

3. Convenience + Security: There are two parking spots for the unit and the unit is located right off the parking lot behind a gated outer door. The building has many units, but not one is closer to parking than this one. The building is very secure, the new balcony glass is safe even with my rambunctious boys.

4. Layout: Brilliant layout. Huge great room/kitchen to balcony, 3 bedrooms with bathrooms. The master is brilliant with it's art and views. The whole unit is beautifully and efficiently appointed. The place is mainly painted white and has a bright, clean flow going for it.

5. Management: The management of the unit is spot-on. They are completely attentive and extremely conscientious. Call backs and return emails were immediate...But what's most important is that they are kind, decent and honest people.

I'm not going to say I "would" rent this unit again, because I know I will. We're already planning our next stay!
