About this property

Quaint, Cozy, Historic 3BR/2BA Cottage - Six Blocks from Beach

A unique, almost 100 year old Laguna writer's home, still owned by original family. The house is three bedrooms, two baths, set on a half acre of wooded hillside, six blocks from the beach, one mile south of downtown Laguna Beach, near BlueBird Canyon.

One of Laguna's early homes, built simply with pine walls and floors, the house has a good-sized living and dining room with a wonderful fireplace.

Soaring eucalyptus trees planted around the perimeter of the property in the 1920s host a variety birds and migrating monarch butterflies. The natural, spacious landscape encourages the play of children.

The beach is a short walk from the house and offers a fascinating
change of scene as tides work their way in and out.

Perfect as an artist or family retreat.

This place is magical! Funky and historic but super clean and comfortable. Delightful wrap around deck that feels like hanging out in a tree house. Very convenient location, seems like most Laguna Beach things are within a 15-20 min walk. Host is extremely responsive, friendly and helpful and check-in/out were totally painless. We would recommend to anyone looking for a pleasant home base here.

The cottage was located in a quiet, peaceful area just a short walk from the beach. It provided the privacy and relaxation my husband wanted and the proximity to shops and restaurants that my young adult children wanted. It offered the best of both worlds.

This home is an historic gem, a throw-back to very early Laguna Beach, and what many homes in CA coastal communities used to look like. It is very rustic and cabin-like. Cozy inside with a lovely deck outside. You'll feel as though you are in a tree-house. Very private. Five-stars for the uniqueness and the historic quality, but a 4-star rating overall because the bed comfort needs some updating. Would stay again.

The home was exactly as described and exceeded our expectations. We loved its' cozy, rustic charm; as well as the proximity to the beach and shops. We had to change dates 2x leading up to our stay and Steve/Annette were very gracious and accommodating.

The cottage definitely lived up to the 5 star reviews I read before arriving. Comfortable, romantic, peaceful, and within easy walking distance to restaurants and beaches. We were in town for a wedding and so glad to be staying here and not at a hotel.

Charming cabin in a wonderful location

We enjoyed the quirkiness and charm of the home - made us feel like we were in a mountain cabin and yet it was right near the beach and downtown. Nice quiet neighborhood to go on walks and for families.

Quirky in the best ways, great patio, comfortable beds, in walking distance to so many great beaches, stores and restaurants while feeling secluded from everything in an amazing suburban forested retreat.
