What a perfect month, in a perfect house! We loved everything about it. Upon arrival, the house was spotless and very welcoming. It had all the amenities we needed (and some we didn't know we needed!) but was a very quick walk to the grocery store for food and such. We spent many mornings having our coffee on the front patio, watching the neighbors take their morning walks or having a glass of wine in the evening, as the sun was setting. The backyard had everything we needed and though we didn't sit back there as much as the front patio, we did enjoy playing cards on the large patio table and sitting by the fire a few nights. And the garden!!! Oh my, everyday I felt like I found a type of plant that I hadn't seen the day before. And I loved that a lot of them were labeled. The inside of the house fit our needs perfectly. While the kitchen was tiny, it had all that we needed and I found it easy to cook meals in - though we did eat out most of the time. The living room was comfortable and once we figured out how to work the remote (wait - maybe we should have read the instructions first!), we spent evenings that we were home, watching TV. The bedroom was just the right size for us, with plenty of closet space and hangers and the bathroom was beautiful, with an awesome shower - loved that there was a bench!. Drenda and Rick were quick to answer any questions and were very good hosts. The walk to the beach was very quick, (the walk back took a bit longer as it is mostly uphill) and we spent a ton of time there. There are many great restaurants and bars and LOTS of live music, all within walking distance from the house. We brought our car but actually only used it twice the entire month. All in all, it was great place to stay and we loved getting to be "locals" for our time there and if it wasn't for missing our grandkids, we would have stayed longer. We will definitely be back!!! PS Short note - my husband still works remotely Monday-Friday and found the garage a perfect place to set up office. It is a much nicer space than just a garage!

Drenda and Rick are amazing hosts with a fantastic property.

... until I share this review. Whilst I don't want this place to become to booked out so I can't go :-) this cottage hands down deserved a 5* rating. The cottage exceeded our expectations and we felt it was even nicer than the photos online. We loved the well maintained large private garden equipped with sofas, bbq and the most gorgeous flowers. And the location was fantastic, a few mins walk to the beach and 10-15mins walk into downtown. Couldn't ask for anything more, thanks Drenda and Rick!!! We hope to be back soon!

It's a perfect house for a couple. We enjoy the beach and walking and good restaurants. Laguna has it all. You never have to get in your car. You can walk everywhere. The yard is perfect for relaxing with friends or family.

This cottage was even lovelier in reality than the online pictures. All appliances, floors, kitchen, bath and decorations were updated to the finest. I loved my stay!
