This was our 2nd time staying at this property. You cant beat the location for accessibility to Main Beach, Heisler Park and all that downtown Laguna has to offer. We enjoyed the hot tub and outdoor tv each night. We hope to return again next year!

Such a perfect place!

The location of this property can’t be beat - grocery store was a 4 minute walk, restaurants and little shops were less than 5 minutes away, and the beach was an 8 minute easy stroll. We loved the patio in the evenings as well; huge plus having the hot tub. Couldn’t recommend this place more if you’re staying in Laguna and want to be near the beach.

The accommodation in Laguna Beach is an exceptional option for your stay. It stands out with its meticulous attention to detail, stunning decor, and a truly magnificent backyard, perfect for relaxation. I had the pleasure of working with Tara, who provided excellent communication and made the experience even more enjoyable. Will definitely stay again!

Wonderful stay

What a great stay In beautiful Laguna Beach. The property was clean, quiet, super comfortable and had everything we needed and more (the coffee and snacks were very much appreciated). The location is perfect for walking into town and to the beach. We loved the beautifully landscaped outdoor area and the views of the hills. Tara and her husband were super friendly and welcoming. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Laguna lovely

Clean, comfortable, and roomy. Beautiful back yard area gets morning sun. Location is perfect-- short walk to beach and free trolley. Tara provided very nice touches- some snacks, Keurig cups already there, beyond salt&pepper for spices, olive oil, sugar. The apartment is light filled and has everything you need for cooking and relaxing.

Can’t get a better location to downtown Laguna. What more can you ask for. Great views of downtown Laguna. Hot tub with a flat screen tele. Sunroom that is super cute. Cool waterfall feature. Parking spot. Tara was so sweet and kind to work with. Awesome place for a couple or three people.

Latina Beach retreat

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Had already planned vacation months ago and ended up in town for the passing of my Father and had family in town. Was able to have everyone together to celebrate his life and share meals together. Such a blessing. Will definitely be back. Thank you again.

Nice property with great location

My wife and myself really enjoyed our stay in this property. It is very well equipped if you want to cook at the place. The backyard sitting area is amazing! The hosts are great as far as communication goes. The location is great as well, just a short walk to downtown are and the grocery store (Whole Foods). One little thing, the apartment is a bit small for a group larger than 2 which is hard to see from the pictures, so it was a bit tight when our daughter came to join us for a day. However it was quite adequate for us two

Laguna Vacation

The property is in a great location for walking access to the beach and the shops in Laguna. The hot tub and deck area were added to the ambiance of the space. The kitchen was fully furnished. There was an adequate supply of bed linens and towels. Additional air mattresses were available for additional guests. All in all the place was furnished and comfortable; however, the couch and chair pillows need cleaning or airing since they smelled. The owner spayed the pillows with Febreze which helped a bit. Also, the steps to the unit are narrow and can be hard to navigate when carrying beach furniture and luggage. All in all, it was a great place to stay.

Gorgeous rental - right by the beach.

Oh my goodness - this rental is FABULOUS. We just got home and wish we could still be there enjoying the hot-tub and the five minute walk to the beach. It's a secret jewel in Laguna for sure and the pictures do not do it justice. For one thing there is another patio deck that the owner allows you to share with the bottom rental. The owner rents the bottom unit and is totally amazing. She asked us just exactly how hot we wanted the hot tub because she knew we had a baby coming to the house. Provided a pack n play and also left us yummy treats and coffee and creamer and just everything. The TV was great. We thought we would use the TV by the hottub (it's so awesome) but ended up just chatting all the day instead. You are literally right across the street from Whole Foods and all the best restaurants in Laguna. Thank you so much Tara! We had an amazing time!!

Perfect location

This is an incredible bang for your buck in the heart of Laguna Beach! We stayed for a week and had an amazing stay. It was very clean and Tara was excellent with communication. They even provided a pack n play for our almost 2 year old. It was a hot week but kept extremely comfortable with 2 air conditioning units(a rarity along the beach area). We enjoyed the hot tub almost daily and grilled a few times as well with food from Whole Foods(~5 min walk) to save on restaurants and carry out. Unit had everything we needed- plenty of towels, blankets, kitchen supplies, etc. There are several narrow stairs up to the unit which was a little challenging with our toddler, but we were well aware of this in advance from the photos and descriptions. It wasn’t a problem for us as we are able-bodied, but could be challenging for some. The trolley was a lifesaver for us as Laguna has some steep streets to walk. We downloaded the Laguna Beach Trolley app and even though it wasn’t always running perfectly as scheduled, it was well worth it for the time and energy saved! Not to mention beautiful views along PCB. We intend to stay again next year!

Post-Conference Getaway

After concluding a conference in San Diego, my husband and I drove up the coast for a few nights in Laguna Beach before returning back to the East Coast. Tara’s place was perfect for us and she is a lovely and accommodating hostess! It was super clean, comfortable, quiet and well-appointed, inside and out. Great location, easy to find and just a short walk to town and the beach. It was so fun to immerse ourselves in the community for a few days.It is attached to the main house, but still very private. And the jacuzzi was such a treat, a relaxing way to end the day. We would stay here again and would definitely recommend it!

Great Home Base

Tara’s place is great! Comfortable, nicely appointed, with everything you need. The outdoor space and the hot tub are both a bonus. The best part was the location. We walked to so many areas of Laguna Beach, and exploring the Orange County coast was easy with this place as our home base. Great access to Crystal Cove and a ton of beaches.
