About this property

Charming Green Cottage blocks to Beach and Village

Your Own Private Cottage Nestled in a Secluded Garden Compound

This fully restored and renovated cottage is nestled in a private garden compound within a short walk to the village and Main Beach. The cottage has been carefully furnished to meet the needs of discerning traveler's seeking an alternative to hotel lodging.

We have selected very fine art work along with hand crafted furniture to reflect the character and charm of the original art colony of Laguna. The bathroom and kitchen was completely renovated in order to upgrade the facilities and appliances to provide maximum comfort.

Our guests especially enjoy the freedom of walking to virtually all the major attractions in and around Laguna Beach. When they return at the end of the day, they pass through the old wooden gate, walk down the steps into this remarkable garden setting.

We guarantee you will love it here!

This cozy cottage was just perfect. The location was excellent. It’s walking distance to the nearby shops, restaurants, and a grocery store. The bed was comfortable, well equipped kitchen, and a cute little private patio. The host was very responsive.

I felt like a Hobbit in the Shire!

The pictures on the VRBO website are very accurate. This property is as quaint as you'd expect from the photos. It's a beautiful place to stay. I felt like a Hobbit in the Shire! And it's very close to all of the restaurants and the beach. We will stay here again.

Great bungalow for a couple, we also had our adult son. He slept comfortably in the pull out. We stayed in “green”. Nice to have secluded back patio for evening cocktails, cards etc. The front area garden was delightful for morning coffee amidst butterflies. The location was ideal with a short walk to everything. This will be our “go to” when we come back to Laguna.

So cute!

Our stay at the Manzanita Cottage was so nice! When you first pull up, everything is perfectly hidden until you go through the front gate. I loved how everything was so tucked in by bushes/trees. You definitely get a perfect amount of privacy. We stayed in the green cottage and it was so so so gorgeous inside. We did a lot of walking as the beach/stores were so close. It was hard to leave and we definitely look forward to booking more trips here in the future!

THE GOOD: Parking, private patio with bbq, kitchen stocked well, cable tv, fast wifi, cute property surrounding. Disappointed: Really tiny space, not charming and not chic. Not really funky. Could have been cleaner. For us it was not an issue but be aware there are a lot of steep stairs on the property.

Very set of cottages located close to downtown Laguna Beach. NOTE: Very steep stairs at entrance from parking down to courtyard. Cottages are older but well laid out inside. A bit of a hiccup with front door code but management sorted it quickly by text. Great water pressure in the 60's vintage bathroom. Ours had lovely back patio. TV has Roku in Guest Mode for automatic login credential deletion on check out. Back gate cuts walk to downtown down.

My husband and I have stayed here before in your blue cottage. Thus time we picked your green cottage for a slightly different point of view. Both are delightful. Although we’ve never cooked a full meal in your kitchen, it is well stocked with a full fridge, stove top, microwave and toaster oven. The kingsized bed is firm and very comfortable, great water pressure in the shower. We love all the windows and there is great air flow and light. I am always looking for more lamp light and the wonky blinds were a humorous challenge. It couldn’t have been better. Thank you so much. We will be back.

Loads of Charm close to downtown

These cottages are quite charming. Spaces are small, but for a short stay, it was delightful. Open beam ceilings and wood floors - we could hear the rain on the roof! We loved walking into town. Things are a bit shop worn - could use a coat of paint in some of the rooms, a few more plates and glasses. There is not a dishwasher, but has enough equipment to cook and bake. There is wide stairway to get from the parking area to the cottages, which did have handrails. It is a bit awkward at the top, but we did fine. There is also a lower gate that might work for those having trouble with stairs. Definately not ADA accessible. I know we were told about this before we booked.

This is a charming cottage with an adorable shared space, wishing well, and lush landscape! We really enjoyed our stay here in the green cottage. It is about a 15 minute walk to the beach, but we enjoyed exploring the cute neighborhood. We had four people with us and it was a little bit tight, but would be perfect for three people. We would love to return!

Quiet rustic cottage in good location

Good location - a short uphill climb from the beach and downtown. Near high school which allows the community to use the tennis courts and pool. Cottage was quiet and surrounded by nice landscaping. We did have a few issues with the cleanliness and amenities, but Sean, the property manager, was incredibly prompt in addressing our concerns.

Quiet retreat

Great, quiet, cottage, 12-minute, hilly walk to the beach. Those are the pluses. The minor issues were it was difficult getting in touch w the manager and the cottage is a little worn.

Sweet nice place. Everything we needed.

Darling little place. It was cool for Laguna but we had fireplace and cozy cottage. I would add if you have issues with stairs, it’s pretty steep just at entrance. Lovely and communication was good.

This fun cottage was just what we were looking for. Location was about a 15 minute walk to “downtown.” Perfect for us to attend Pageant of the Masters. There is, however, some up hill walking which we enjoyed. We will likely return next year.

Cute little cottage

Nicely located a short walk from the town. Maybe not as nice as the photos, and a bit rustic, but we enjoyed our stay. There was a communication problem between the owner and VRBO, and I had to contact the owner myself through the property web site to get entry details - otherwise would have arrived and not been able to get in. Definitely something that needs to be resolved for future guests.

Why they chose this property

Laguna Beach has a number of hidden treasures that were built during the early days of the art colony era.

We discovered this amazing treasure in 1999 when it came on the market. It had been in one family since 1931. After major renovations we opened for our first guests on Valentine's Day in 2000, and have been delighting guests ever since. This is an ideal venue for families, honeymooners, weary business travelers, writers, etc.

What makes this property unique

We are far enough from the annoying traffic noise of Pacific Coast Highway and yet close enough to walk to the village and Main Beach
