If you are contemplating renting this home, it is absolutely worth the splurge. The property manager is extremely responsive. The photos are representative of this gorgeous space. If your expectations are high based on the photos, in person, the view does not disappoint. This beachfront cottage has 4 outdoor deck spaces that rival the beautiful interior. Even with all of the doors and windows closed, you can hear the relaxing sound of waves crashing on the beach. Begin your morning with a walk towards Main Beach via private access to the sand. The shops and restaurants of Laguna Beach are a short 10-15 minute walk away. Many restaurants are open with expanded outdoor seating. Or consider carry-outs from local restaurants and continue to enjoy the view. Laguna Coffee Company and Orange Inn are a short walk for coffee in the morning. Ralph's grocery is a also close. Thalia Surf Shop is a stone's throw away. Rent anything you need there (boards, wetsuits, etc). One morning I walked to South Swell Donuts (that was a bit far but worth the trip). You do not need to a rent a car, though we did to maximize flexibility. We found ourselves (all adults for this trip) gathering together each evening for cocktails to enjoy the spectacular sunsets. Some days we cooked dinner (all appliances are of high quality). Truly there is no reason to leave the house and we all found ourselves gravitating towards the ocean for surfing, swimming, walking or just enjoying the view. Note: we did not utilize the Jacuzzi, BBQ or outdoor fireplace because it was too warm for that when we were there. We will definitely be back.
