Being so close to the beach and a tub for the kids, not to mention the outdoor shower and foot rinse available before stepping into the house was really advantageous. Also enjoyed the fire pit at night while the kids were asleep which was close enough to hear if they woke up/needed anything.
We had a fantastic time even if the weather didn't cooperate. Beach is steps away, tide pools and nearby arch were a hit w the kids. Didn't mind spending time indoors on a rainy day.
This place is a great location! Considering Walking distance to Roof top bar, Breakfast Locations, Ice cream and small lightly trafficked beach was great! Highly recommended!
This was our second time staying at this location and had a great experience. The beach is walking distance and many options for food and coffee nearby.
Wonderful location and super responsive hosts made our family stay just terrific. The fire pit was welcoming after the beach that is literally steps away!
This was a very comfortable home for me and my family. Loved the fire pits, access to the beach and communication with property manager. We would definitely stay here again.
Have stay at this property over the past several years and have enjoyed the location and amenities of the property, thank you again for a wonderful Laguna experience:-)
Was nicer than advertised. Stocked with everything we needed. The fire pit was well used every evening. Gave us a nice place to relax at the end of the evening. And the outdoor showers a bonus with small kids coming up from the beach.
This wasn’t our first time in Laguna, but our first stay at this property. The location was great. Within walking distance to restaurants and shops and stairs right outside that go down to the beach. They had plenty of sand toys for the kids and beach chairs as well. The property manager Denise was very communicative. I would recommend this property.
Location, location, location! The apartment (cottage is more like it) is at the top of the steps to the beach. The apartment is nicely furnished in an italianate style. Reasonably spacious. 2 BR plus a study with a hideabed. 2 and 1/2 baths. There were 5 of us and we fit comfortably. We had stayed before in another of the units. This is much more comfortable though with a little less of a view. AND it has convenient parking for 2 or even 3 cars (a precious commodity in LB. Derek was very helpful.
This location was amazing! We would not have wanted to have been closer to the Main Beach and felt like the restaurants and shopping were perfect. We did walk to the Main Beach area one day and it took us about 15-20 minutes without stops. There is also a free trolley you can take. We loved the gated parking and dedicated parking spaces. There are so many hidden gems in this area. We recommend Treasure Island, Goff Cove, Victoria Beach, and Thousand Steps Beach. When the tide is low, you can go down the steps at Cress Beach, turn left, and walk to a fun arch/tunnel and on to some cool tide pools. We even saw whales!The only thing I didn't realize until I read another review was that one of the beds in the listing is a pull-out couch. It is in its own space but the mattress isn't the best. My kids "drew straws" for that one, but were glad to each have closed off spaces, nonetheless. The house was clean and the firepit started up easily.
This home could not have been located in a better spot. It is right next to the beach and walkable distance from all our favorite restaurants. There is great parking (so rare in Laguna) and it is quiet and feels safe at night. We did have two issues.1. We traveled with children and the main TV in the living room was very difficult and slow. We struggled getting any streaming apps to work and once they were up and running they were very slow and glitchy.2. The third bedroom (which is an office with a pull-out sofa) has THE worst bed we have ever had a VRBO experience with. It is completely sunken where your head is so the person sleeping on it has their feet completely elevated. If it weren't for the bed we would have rated it 5 stars. But beyond those things - it was clean ans exactly what we were looking for. I would stay again for sure.
First let me say the location and parking for this Villa is outstanding, the interior is a little dated, the areas rugs could use a deep cleaning or replacement, if you are planning to use the 3rd bedroom/office sleeper couch, bring a air mattress its not sustainable for adult's to sleep on, I read some reviews about this and thank goodness we brought a air mattress. The primary bedroom also has a very very firm mattress, I was uncomfortable, but some like that. The outdoor seating and fire pit were amazing. Great supply of beach chairs, one umbrella and a beach blanket. If you are staying for more than a couple days there were no good cleaning supplies, dish rags or sponges or a broom and dustpan, maybe I should have requested them, but in my experience with other properties these things are always on hand. There were ample amout of hotel style bath towels, wash cloths and hand towels.
An extremely comfortable and serviceable home with access to extraordinary views and beautiful beach vibes. Wish the fire pits were working! Would stay here again.
We had a great experience. The location was perfect. The owner was accessible and handled any issues and questions promptly. Will definitely look to stay at one of his properties again.
Clean, welcoming home. Easy parking and walkability to beach and downtown. Appreciated plenty of beach toys, umbrella and chairs. Able to shower outside. AC worked well. Provided both inside and beach towels. Disappointed fire pits not working and not told until check in. Office pullout couch is old and maybe only fit for a young child to sleep - otherwise thin, broken, slanted and not really usable for real sleep.
