We absolutely loved staying here. The patio/garden area is beautiful and relaxing. Had coffee every morning on the upstairs patio overlooking the ocean. The beds and bedding are to die for. The decor made me want to stay forever. It's a short walk to this little bay on the beach, which was clean and rather private. You will love it.

Fantastic spot as advertised

Can' say enough great thingsd about our almost five week stay. Gorgeous place fantastically appointed just as noted. The proerty manager was excellent in all communications. We saw saw Bill frequently, great guy, super nice and accomodating. Very very copmfortable and quiet. The AC was a plus on occasion. Multiple TVs and great internet. Kitchen perfect. There are steps to the place but no issues (good cardio). We often walked to Victoria Beach and the beaches at Montage. Trolley stopa block way ... easy. Nice relaxing garden area out side. The plants are gorgeous. Another set of outdoor steps takes you to you own private terrace with Ocean views. Can't say enought good things about it and the way it is run. An exceptional offering.

Lovely vacation spot!

Beautiful property, has everything you need. We all used the large patio for hanging out by and doing some remote work. And there’s another spot upstairs with a great view. The location is amazing, walk to the Montage, Rubys or the shopping Center with CVS, La Sirena Grill etc. Take the trolley into town and don’t worry about parking. Lots of great hikes right outside your door. Bliss!

Fun Stay

Back patio was a highlight. Good to have a parking spot in Laguna. Easy walk to The Drake & Starfish for dinners & less than 10 minutes to the beach. We found the K bed to be too soft but that's a personal preference. One of 2 showers too small to use comfortably. Apt was clean. Good communication.

Great location

Here for a wedding just down the road so location was perfect. Parking spot a plus. Walk to the Drake for great food & music! Property was clean & comfy. Shower in main bathroom was tiny - one of us was not so tiny, but he managed. Back patio very relaxing, though it was quite hot during the day. Communication with host was perfect. Would definitely stay again!

Exactly as advertised

The apartment is exactly as advertised and reviewed. Great location - a few minute walk to the beach and a couple of miles from downtown. Some reviews talk about street news and it is correct that the two bedrooms are on the coastal highway side but none of us heard it (accept if a very loud motorcycle drove by). We were never woken up during the night. Hosts also have sound machines in each room. Sleeper sofa was a problem (not comfortable as others have stated and broken) but they are replacing it this week so it won’t be a problem going forward. One of my friends slept on the living room couch and it was super comfortable. It felt like a bed due to its size and cushion. The back patio is idyllic. Great place to hang out. And the hosts are great communicators.

Beach Vacation Sancturary

This house truly was a sanctuary by the beach. From our mornings on the zen garden patio to our evenings watching the sunsets from the rooftop deck, it was all so amazing! The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. The location was ideal, with Victoria beach close by and downtown Laguna a short trolly ride away. We are definitely looking forward to coming again! This truly is a hidden gem!

Perfect location

Exactly what was needed for family of 5 on a 4 day getaway. Great location(10 min walk to one of the most beautiful beaches, treasure island and 5 min walk to the beach across the street). Able to wake up every morning and enjoy coffee and the ocean. Stocked with more then enough linen and toiletries. Prompt and attentive hosts. Never had a problem. Parking spot is tight(good for sedan) and steep flight of stairs up to the penthouse (not a big issue). Everything was great.
