THE LAGUNA BEACH EXPERIENCE

Laguna Beach is a year-round destination for beach lovers, art enthusiasts, food lovers and outdoor adventurers.

Enjoy swimming, surfing, paddleboarding, kayaking, hiking, snorkeling, tide pools, art galleries, restaurants, boutiques and beautiful coastal scenery.

Laguna is especially vibrant during its summer art season, featuring the Sawdust Art Festival, Laguna Art-A-Fair, Festival of Arts and Pageant of the Masters. These popular events typically take place from late June through early September, with dates varying each year.

The location also makes The Bright House an excellent base for exploring other Southern California destinations. Newport Beach, Dana Point and San Clemente are all conveniently accessible along the Orange County coast. Anaheim and Disneyland Resort are also within driving distance, making it possible to combine a relaxing Laguna Beach stay with visits to Southern California's major attractions and theme parks.

John Wayne Airport (SNA) is conveniently located in Orange County and is approximately a 15–25 minute drive from the property, depending on traffic.

LAGUNA BEACH WEATHER

One of the advantages of Laguna Beach is its mild coastal climate throughout the year.

The Pacific Ocean helps moderate temperatures, and Laguna's coastal setting and surrounding hills create a generally comfortable environment compared with many inland areas of Orange County. Summers are typically more moderate than inland locations, while winters remain mild.

This makes Laguna Beach an enjoyable destination in every season.

PETS

Guest pets are welcome.

We ask that pets be house-trained, supervised and walked outside for relief. Please clean up after your pet.

Guests are responsible for any damage, extra cleaning or lawn restoration caused by their pets.

Pets that are not friendly must be leashed while outside, and excessive barking is not permitted out of respect for neighbors in the surrounding homes.

ACCESSIBILITY

The entrance to the downstairs unit includes one small step. Otherwise, the unit and outdoor areas are generally flat.

Guests who have specific accessibility needs are welcome to contact us before booking so we can help determine whether the property is suitable for their needs.

NEIGHBORHOOD & NOISE

Our neighborhood is generally very quiet.

Occasionally, during peak weekend hours, some light traffic noise may be heard from vehicles using local streets as an alternative to Pacific Coast Highway (PCH).

THINGS TO DO NEARBY

Laguna Beach offers something for every type of traveler. Depending on the season, guests can enjoy:

• Beaches and swimming
• Surfing and skimboarding
• Stand-up paddleboarding
• Kayaking
• Diving and snorkeling
• Hiking
• Bike tours
• Art galleries and festivals
• Restaurants and cafés
• Shopping and boutiques
• Day spas and wellness experiences
• Golfing
• Scenic coastal drives
• Family attractions and theme parks in nearby Orange County

Whether your goal is a relaxing beach getaway, an art-filled weekend, an outdoor adventure or a Southern California family vacation, The Bright House provides a convenient home base.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The property is located in a residential neighborhood. Guests are expected to respect quiet hours, neighbors and the surrounding community.

The upstairs portion of the home is occupied separately by the on-site host. Guests have their own downstairs living space and garden areas as described above.

Private outdoor dry sauna: $50 optional use fee. Vrbo currently displays this fee as “Hot Tub” because a sauna-specific fee option is not available.
