Enchanting Beach Cottage

We enjoyed how unique and quaint the cottage and garden are and how close the property is to one of the most beautiful beaches in Laguna. It isn’t luxurious, but definitely magical in its own way. We were pleased with our stay overall.

Laguna Charmer With Class

This is the quintessential Laguna beach cottage. We had an amazing three nights here living the dream. Just a short walk to Thousand Steps beach which we visited each day. Also loved spending time in the back garden that felt like an extension of the house. Private with loads of charm, character, and beautiful views. Communication with the host was excellent. We’ll be back!

Beautiful property and views.

The home is very nice, exactly like photos. Location is great, unfortunately we didn’t have great weather(tons of rain) so we didn’t get to do as much as we’d have liked. But we made the best of it and our hosts were great! Very responsive and helpful! We’d definitely come back if we’re in the area!

A fun little property on a steep hill above Thousand Steps Beach. One very small bath. Delightful garden and a view of the ocean from the kitchen deck and bedrooms. Comfortable beds and adequately furnished. We enjoyed our stay.

Perfect Laguna retreat

Excellent space centrally located off PC HWY. You are surrounded by lush green patios which draw you outside for meals and conversation. 1000 steps beach is directly across the street from the neighborhood which was perfect for teens. Absolute must for Laguna travels.

Quiet and quaint place with amazing view

My friend and I loved our stay. Check-in was easy, no issues. Location was wonderful / just a quick walk to one of the most pretty beaches. Easy access to the free trolley. Very quiet neighborhood which was nice. Among beautiful homes. Backyard is awesome! It was a bit cool while here, so I did not get to enjoy the backyard as much as I wanted. The hummingbird nest and hummingbirds hanging around was such a nice treat. They had all the amenities we needed.

South Laguna Rental

We spent our holiday at this rental and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It is on top of a small hill with views of the ocean from the kitchen window and kitchen balcony. It had all the necessary Amini ties for a family of four. It is in walking distance to the 1000 steps beach. It is actually 206 steps down to beach front. It is away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Laguna yet close Enough to drive or take the trolley which has a stop down the hill from the house. Just a block away there is an acquaint shopping center and a Gleason grocery store…..a bit over priced but fantastic quality. I would stay at this property again and Alexandra was very responsive.

Return to Beach Cottage

Having enjoyed our previous stay at this classic and comfortable cottage, we decided to rent it again for our annual visit to Laguna Beach. It was a familiar neighborhood and a starting point for the various activities we had planned. The highlights were the beautiful garden and balconies. We can’t wait until next year!
