Our cottages are not suitable for partying groups.

Our mission is to offer an awesome beach experience while at the same time being located in activity-rich, walk-friendly north Laguna Beach.

Do not be concerned that the property backs up to the Coast Hwy. It is not a traditional "highway" but is the ICONIC HIGHWAY 1 that weaves up the Pacific Coast of California on to Canada. In Laguna it is just a main artery street with stop lights every couple of blocks. There is a courtyard, buffer between it and the cottage. The bedroom, living room and deck overlook Cliff Dr and the ocean beyond.

Laguna Beach is among the top beach resorts in the U.S. The Laguna Beach beach-side experience is all around us, not partying groups that are so prolific in other parts of our town and in neighboring towns, but if you are coming here for total quiet, our place may not be for you. LagunaBeachCharmers cottages are for visitors looking for a vibrant beach experience with all the excitement and amenities of a bustling, popular, upscale Southern California beach town. At times there are trucks, trolleys passing on the free trolley route we are on, occasional construction, barking dogs, motorcycles, exotic cars showing off and modified exhaust cars (whose revved up rides are forbidden in Laguna Beach but they try to do it anyway), sirens and 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 street parking in front of the building for eight cars, on warm weekends in 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're taking day trips, you will rarely have to move your car as we are a "walkability" neighborhood.

Also, unlike most homes in Laguna Beach, we are happy to say we offer central air conditioning in the living room, and bedroom. We usually have a very mild temperature range but more and more there will be an occasional heat wave which, of course, no one can predict. We also have portable fans and ceiling fans

For your safety and health concerns: we offer contactless, keyless entry. Our building is very well configurated for physical distancing. Our 3 cottages are well separated and you do not have to interact with any other guest. All bedding, including duvet covers, etc, are washed with each new guest using a professional laundry service. We have a new LG washer and dryer, state of the art for sanitizing and maximum cleaning power. These are available complementary (along with provided scent free detergent) for the guests to use.
