The location was very nice, walking distance to the beach (but the hike back up the hill is strenuous!). Hosts were nice, and responsive when we ran short on TP, kitchen sponges. The garden area is really nice too.

The host was very, very quick to respond to all my many questions, and got me out of a jam, as I needed a place at the last minute, as there was a serious problem at an AirBB property. In this case, the Host, saved the day!Thanks!

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. It was so nice to sit on the deck each morning with our coffee and gaze at the ocean in the distance. The cottage is nicely furnished and very comfortable. Hope to return for a longer stay!

A fun little property on a steep hill above Thousand Steps Beach. One very small bath. Delightful garden and a view of the ocean from the kitchen deck and bedrooms. Comfortable beds and adequately furnished. We enjoyed our stay.

This is a very comfortable property located in easy reach of several beaches. Although thousand steps beach is closest, we found that Strands beach was easier to get to and friendlier for swimming. The weather was comfortable, cool by the coast, which made enjoying the patios and kitchen porch great. The house is clean and comfortable and contains all of the basics you might need. The kitchen is very functional and we were able to prepare meals in it easily.

Perfect Laguna retreat

Excellent space centrally located off PC HWY. You are surrounded by lush green patios which draw you outside for meals and conversation. 1000 steps beach is directly across the street from the neighborhood which was perfect for teens. Absolute must for Laguna travels.

About the host

Hosted by Alejandra

Host profile image
Laguna Beach homeowners since 2010, travelled extensively and lived in 8 countries before making Laguna our permanent home.

Why they chose this property

This cottage has occupied this enchanting property since the 1930's, initially used as a guest house for a well known east coast family. The cottage has been updated yet kept its historical charm. The garden is full of flowers, plants, and trees (including an endangered California Redwood), with a view to the ocean and ever changing Laguna Beach sunsets. While within a short walk of Pacific Coast Highway, 1000 Steps Beach, South Laguna Restaurants and a Laguna Beach Trolley stop, the property is very private and quiet. The fully equipped kitchen and outdoor grill with lots of indoor and outdoor seating provides the perfect environment to enjoy your culinary skills or just an a refreshment in the shade. After looking at dozens of properties we fell in love with the tranquility, beauty and charm of this typical Laguna Beach Cottage.

What makes this property unique

The privacy, tranquility, beautiful garden and ocean views are a unique combination in a property so close to the ocean. Hummingbirds, Sparrows, Woodpeckers, and Honey Bees are frequent guests.
