Classic beach town vibe on iconic Cliff Dr, steps to stunning Heisler Pk.

New discounted special for February/March 2026! Last-minute cancellation from our long time snowbirds because of an injury, their hurt is your pleasure. Experience a restored “beach cottage vibe” with an incredible opportunity to live like a local at the beach, away from the hustle-bustle of all the tourists yet walkability to everything you might want. Appprx nearly 700 square-foot “house” (one shared wall) equipped with full kitchen, separate living room, separate spacious King bedroom, full bathroom, private deck and amazing close in ocean views and doors to the beach, all for far less $$$ than the cost of a single room in the surrounding “view hotel rooms” ($700-900) in our prestigious North Laguna residential area. Located on iconic Cliff Dr among 5M-25M single-family homes, our location is basically a tourist noise free residential neighborhood yet walking close to Laguna Village, Heisler Park and beautiful beaches doors away. We are not in the crowded tourist areas that are so congested in Laguna Beach. We are in North Laguna Beach, which is another world of Laguna Beach, on the south border of Newport Coast and Newport Beach. Escape the troubles of the modern world and live like the locals, where life is one long holiday. Drop your shoulders, recharge your batteries, fill your senses and your tummy, all just steps away from sand between your toes.

LagunaBeachCharmers offers central Heat and Air Conditioning (rare to have AC in Laguna), close-in sweeping ocean views in a premier residential location (without partying renters all night long), a three minute walk to sandy beaches, food, coffee, and beautiful Pavilions market and a short walk to the Laguna Village, no need for a car.

We are not suitable for partying groups. Our mission is to offer a "live like a local" awesome beach vacation while at the same time being located in walk-friendly north Laguna Beach.

Do not be concerned that the property backs up to the Coast Hwy 1. It is not a traditional "highway" . It is the iconic state Coastal Highway 1 that weaves up the Pacific Coast from our southern border to Canada. In Laguna Beach it is just an ordinary 2 lanes each way main artery street with stop lights every couple of blocks. There is a garden courtyard buffer between the street and the cottage. The Bedroom and Living Room are on the Cliff Drive side and overlook Cliff Dr and the ocean across the street.

Laguna Beach is consistently among the top 10 beach resorts in the U.S. The Laguna Beach beach lifestyle is all around us, not partying groups that are so popular in our neighboring towns, but if you are coming here for a totally quiet experience our place may not for you. LagunaBeachCharmer’s two vacation rental cottages are for visitors looking for a vibrant beach "live like a local" escape with all the amenities of a bustling, popular, upscale Southern California beach town. At times there will be trucks, trolleys from the free trolley route we are on, occasional neighborhood construction, barking dogs, or motorcycles, exotic car show offs or modified exhaust cars (all whose revved up noise is forbidden in Laguna but they do it occasionally anyway), sirens or more, that pass by our cottages and by our immediate neighborhood of $5M+ homes. More than half of our guests return time and again.

Also, while we have great non metered street parking in front of the building for eight cars, in the hot weekend months those places fill up fast with beachgoers. Please be patient and a place will open up for you usually after 5 PM until about 10 AM. Weekends are the busiest. Once you are at the cottage, unless you are taking day trips, you will rarely have to move your car as we are a "walkability" neighborhood with a trolley stop a few yards away. The City of Laguna Beach also now provides the Laguna Local, which is an Uber-like Van that will pick you up at convenient designated spots and take you to your destination in Laguna Beach. No cost. No tipping.

Also, unusual for homes in Laguna Beach, we have central air-conditioning! We normally have a very mild temperature range but more and more we have occasional heat waves. We also have portable fans and ceiling fans.

If you wish to have an incredible stay and need a two bedroom, please check out our listing 310136. It's perfect for four people or a couple with two older children, but not suitable for children under seven. Or have a great great experience and book both cottages for up to 8 people.

For your safety and health concerns: we offer contactless, keyless entry. Our building is very well configurated for physical distancing. Our 3 cottages (one is our residence) are well separated and you do not have to interact with any other guest. Only our laundry room would have 2 other possible cottages share. Our cleaning crew are well trained in sanitizing and take all necessary precautions. All bedding, duvet covers, etc, are washed at a local professional laundry with each new guest. On site we have a new LG washer and dryer, state of the art for high-efficiency and sanitation. These are offered complementary along with detergent for our guests.
