This little cottage near the beach was just what we needed!! It was quiet and quaint but close to all the beach action. We’d love to make this our yearly spot!!

Location was perfect. The lock box for the key was a little finickey and took a few brains to open. We did encounter a few spiders trying to crawl into our suitcase one of the nights. Overall a great location and a cute little place! Cons: Doorways are extremely narrow Floors creek everywhere you step Spider visitors Pros: Great location Easy to get to Beautiful outdoor patio

I loved the home and the surrounding neighborhood. Great place to relax.

We absolutely loved this place. So quaint and cozy. The smell of eucalyptus was intoxicating. You can sit at the dining room table and see the ocean. We had a fire every night. The hosts were easy to contact and quick to answer. I will recommend to family and friends.

This was a magical cottage. We loved every minute! Cannot wait to book again.

What a quant little place. It reminds me of a the Tarzan Treehouse at Disneyland. It’s small and cozy with squeaky floors and tiny doorways. Such a beautiful setting among the Eucalyptus trees on the end of a tropical hillside. It has almost everything you’d need with lots of clean towels, kitchen ware and a big grill out on the amazing redwood deck overlooking the ocean. Be prepared for small, but beautiful. Quant but amazing. It’s priced right and we can’t wait to go back. An economical way to enjoy Laguna to the fullest without breaking the bank.

Super cute place to stay. At Christmas, sunset over the water perfectly lines up with the view. Quiet and woodsy; walkable to town and the beach.

This place is definitely an original! Quirky and rustic for sure. My friends and I really enjoyed smelling the beautiful eucalyptus trees and looking out at the ocean from the patio every morning. The price and convenient location are tough to beat!

Roomy, comfortable older home in a beautiful, peaceful setting within walking distance to the beach and town. Reserve an extra day or two to your reservation as you will want to spend more time in this place than you think you will.

We enjoyed our stay at this property. A quaint, rustic, hideaway close to the beach, about 4 blocks up. Went for a brisk walk in the morning around the cute neighborhood. We did not walk to the beach, so not sure of where the closest beach access was. Beds and pillows were comfortable. We loved sitting out on the deck with our door-dash dinner & wine! Thank you!

Unique house with lots of character in a charming neighborhood, ten minutes on foot from the beach and downtown but nestled in huge old trees with views of the ocean. Spacious deck perfect for outdoor meals. Perfect for those who enjoy nature and walking and don't mind hills.

The four of us loved the calm and beautiful property and the lovely historic rustic home. The shower was great, the kitchen was well stocked and had lots of matching beautiful china, the three bedrooms offered lots of privacy and the deck was so comfortable with a view of the ocean through the trees. The beds and linens were very comfortable and the living room was cozy with a wood burning fireplace.

Really cute cottage in Laguna! Gave this property 5 ⭐️ because it was clean and the description of the cottage was accurate, and it was priced appropriately. If you’re okay with not having all the bells and whistles of a fancy beach house, and can appreciate the unique history of this property, you’ll enjoy your stay. The floors were a little creaky, 2 bathrooms but only 1 shower - which was fine for our family of 4, beautiful deck with outdoor furniture, and a grill. My husband took a deep dive into the history of this property and it didn’t take long for my family to appreciate all the unique charm of the house. We cooked in the tiny kitchen a few meals and ate out a few meals. The house had everything we needed included a full size refrigerator. Clean linens, beach towels and chairs, an awesome porch that we ate our meals at, a walkable hilly neighborhood and lush vegetation. We enjoyed our 3 days in Laguna and can’t wait to return.

Gorgeous historical house set up on a beautiful hill that we were able to walk anywhere into the downtown area. A trip I will always remember!

Fantastic visit. Would definitely return.

Great location, comfortable lodging, some stairs, tricky windows, good beds and sheets.

Short stay, unique house, close to the beach

Absolutely LOVED this vintage home! Plan on staying here again in the future.

We loved the location of this cottage. The porch was my favorite area and we spent a lot of time enjoying the view of the ocean and birds. The yard is large and full of beautiful trees and plants. The house is rustic and has some tight hallways and creaky floors but it has charm. The kitchen is very basic but we liked having a full fridge and also used the grill on the porch one night. The beds were comfortable. We only used one of the showers because the second bath only has a small tub and didn’t use it. Having 2 toilets was helpful with 4 people staying. We stayed for a full week and I’m glad we chose this house!

As others say, it’s not for everyone. However, if you’re open to adventure, uniqueness and imperfections than this is the spot for you. That said, they ensure clean, comfortable linens, all the kitchen needs, a great outdoor space and the ultimate, walkable location. For our family, this is more than enough. We’ll be back.

Birds, trees, breeze, timelessness…this place is amazing. Would love to return for a longer stay someday. Thank you

The online description of this cottage is ‘quaint, cozy and historic’ and that is exactly how we experienced it. The cottage was built nearly 100 years ago by the original owner, and it is still greatly loved by his family. Staying there felt a bit like a trip back to the time when Laguna Beach inspired California expressionists and impressionists. Yet it is clean and well-equipped and has modern comforts such as central heating and air conditioning. Quiet, tranquil and charming, it is nestled into a Laguna hillside, surrounded by trees, shrubbery, cacti and wildflowers. It has lots of space both inside and outside. A few minutes’ walk brings you to a string of picturesque beaches and coves, and a choice of nice restaurants, galleries and shops. Just a few blocks away is a wonderful city park, a pleasant place to walk or sit, with an excellent playground I know my 5 year old granddaughter would enjoy. Excellent communications with the owner. Highly recommended.

We spent February away from the snow in Colorado. This property is six blocks from the surf and sand. It is a true 1920’s Laguna cabin. The location is quiet and secluded, nestled in a eucalyptus grove. Our hosts kept in touch throughout our visit. We had a wonderful time.

It was a beautiful spot with a view of the ocean from the deck. The cottage was rustic & homey. Both the adults and children loved it . All supplies, bedding, towels, etc. were clean & decorative. The living room, dining area & kitchen were great. We loved the fireplace. Hope to stay again in the near future

We knew what to expect with this property because we read the reviews of others and the description. This place will not be for everybody but it was perfect for us! We’ve been coming to Laguna for over 20 years and have stayed in every type of place. What’s so great about this place is that it’s in its original state since it was built likely, never been updated and is like being in an old cabin in the Laguna woods. It rained the whole time we were visiting and we were so happy to get to use the fireplace which also lended itself to a very cozy Christmas holiday. We had to scour the woods around us on the property for more wood even though the welcome packet said it was provided in the carport and was the cabin’s main source of heat, there wasn’t much there. We made do. There is nothing fancy about this place but if you generally like camping and places with character this place is for you! And the location was perfect.

Sadly this house and the property it sits on appear to have been neglected for a very long time. The location is nice and the surrounding homes are attractive. However, this place is quite disappointing. From the dirty bar of soap in the bathroom to the dirty shelf liners in the kitchen and the musty smell as well as the condition of the outdoor areas makes for an uneasy environment.

If you like history and atmosphere with adequate parking, this is a great destination.

This is the most charming place! It reminded us of the cottages at Crystal Cove but up in the trees at the end of the road with lots of privacy. It was very comfortable for the five of us, which ranged from an active 2-year-old to an active 78-year-old. I really liked the sunken shower in the master bath and the deck, where we spent a lot of time, good for both socializing and naps. We loved the historic house with so many details and places to explore. We plan to stay here every time we come to Laguna. Thanks so much for making this house available!

It was great

Our second year spending a week here with our kids and their friends, and I’m excited to book again for next summer. Truly a gem in Laguna Beach. The location can’t be beat. Privacy, trees, a view of the ocean, peace and quiet…just perfect. Plenty of space for 6 adults. Wish there was a second shower (though we never ran out of hot water in the one shower) and perhaps some steak knives, but these are small things that won’t keep us from coming back. Beds are comfortable, there’s plenty of seating, the creaking wood floors are endearing and speak of the history of all this lovely home. We just love it!
