About this property
Serenity in the Hills - A Chic Coastal Apartment with Balcony & Ocean Glimpses
Serenity in the Hills is a chic, fully furnished one-bedroom studio tucked into the lush hills of Laguna Beach — offering privacy, comfort, and effortless coastal living.
Enjoy peekaboo ocean views from your private balcony, framed by greenery and coastal breezes — perfect for morning coffee or evening wine.
Inside, the space is thoughtfully curated with calming neutrals and soft coastal blues. Highlights include:
• Queen bed
• Spa-style bathroom with soaking tub
• Walk-in closet with generous storage
• Strong Wi-Fi (ideal for remote work)
• Thoughtfully equipped kitchenette
• Private entrance
• Dedicated garage parking
The apartment is attached to the owner’s residence yet fully private, creating a quiet, boutique-style retreat in a serene residential setting.
Please note: The unit is accessed via a private exterior staircase and may not be suitable for guests with mobility limitations.
Well-behaved pets are welcome with prior approval. Dogs must remain on a leash (maximum 6’) while outdoors and may not be left unattended outside. Cats must remain indoors at all times. The hillside setting makes the home best suited for small to medium-sized pets.
Just 1.2 miles to the beach and 5 minutes to downtown Laguna, you’re perfectly positioned for art galleries, cafés, hiking trails, and day trips to LA or San Diego.
Ideal for writers, executives, traveling professionals, or anyone seeking calm and clarity by the coast.

About the host
Hosted by Bree Cox
I’m Bree — a Laguna Beach local who loves creating calm, inspiring spaces where people can truly recharge. I believe that travel should feel like coming home, and hosting gives me the joy of helping guests slow down, reconnect, and breathe a little deeper.
I share the property with my two Ragdoll cats, Spencer and Grace, who take their job as quiet companions very seriously. They’re friendly but tend to keep to themselves, usually sunbathing or birdwatching from their favorite windows.
When I’m not filming for my wellness and lifestyle projects, you’ll find me walking the beach trails, rearranging flowers on the patio, or sipping tea while watching the sun dip into the Pacific. I take pride in maintaining a clean, beautiful space where every guest feels cared for and at ease.
We look forward to sharing a little Laguna serenity with you — Spencer, Grace, and I promise to make your stay as peaceful as the view.

Why they chose this property
Laguna Beach has a soul like nowhere else — it’s creative, coastal, and full of charm. I chose this hillside neighborhood because it captures the best of both worlds: the quiet serenity of nature and the energy of downtown just minutes away.
From this spot, you can wake up to the sound of birds, walk or drive to the beach in minutes, and still feel tucked away in my own little sanctuary above it all. The neighborhood is peaceful, safe, and surrounded by friendly locals who appreciate the beauty and rhythm of Laguna living.

Serenity in the Hills isn’t just a place to stay — it’s an experience designed to help you feel calm, inspired, and at home. Every detail, from the soft textures to the curated coastal palette, was chosen to reflect Laguna’s natural beauty.
Guests love the private balcony with ocean glimpses, the boutique-style furnishings, and the sense of tranquility that fills the space. It’s ideal for writers, creatives, executives, or anyone needing a peaceful home base while life shifts or dreams unfold.
