Mellow Escape near Top of the World!

Wonderful two week stay in the middle of summer, escaping the Arizona heat. Looking for value on multiple levels, this home is your answer. Phenomenal location up on the hill with ocean views, walking distance to the Top of the World trails, and 5 min ride down to town and the beachfront. Karen’s home is lovely and so very comfortable. Great deck with lovely views and mellow breezes, huge private spa oasis, fully loaded with amenities, and plenty of quiet space to work remotely. Bonus: Karen also has a lovely built in pond with tropical fish that became our best friends. :-). Winning rental on ever level!

a perfect Thanksgiving

My family spent Thanksgiving at Karen's wonderful home. We really enjoyed our visit. Everything we needed and more was there, and Karen could not have been a finer host. The house has lovely views, expansive decks with ocean view, and multiple common rooms for extended family to subdivide among the most extroverted to least extroverted members. While a group enjoyed conversation and music in the Zen Den, another group worked puzzles in the great room and yet another played rollplay games in the dining room. Everyone had their space! The bedrooms were comfortable and well appointed, as were the bathrooms. It was great to have a washer/dryer too. We cooked a lot and enjoyed the kitchen as well. We'll miss the fish (especially Spot--he was the favorite), as well as Karen's warm hospitality. Thank you, Karen, for a special holiday!

A truly unique and vibrant experience

The home was perfect for our family of 5, plenty of room for everyone to spread out and each find our own special “zen”. Clean and well-appointed. Home is surrounded by gorgeous original art, something to discover and enjoy in every corner. A lovely stay!

Beautiful home with charm and character

The house is exactly as it is advertised. It’s a very charming place with great views. A morning cup of coffee on the balcony leaves you in great spirits to face the rest of the day. The host is wonderful. Overall, I’m very satisfied.

Incredible

Karen was an incredible host and made us feel right at home. She was accommodating when we arrived, along with being available if we had any questions during our entire stay. Her home is updated with everything. The views from the front deck are incredible day and night. The backyard jacuzzi and garden are so peaceful, especially with the waterfall being on. The home was spotless as well, you can tell everything was cleaned from top to bottom. Our stay was amazing, thanks to Karen and her home. We will defiantly stay at this property again, next time we come to laguna.

Beautiful Laguna Beach

We loved our time at Karen’s property in beautiful Laguna Beach. The house was fun, comfortable and beautiful. The views are spectacular as well! We enjoyed using the spa and grill for our 4th of July celebration with a few friends and had a wonderful stay with our new baby. Karen was so sweet and accommodating. I would highly recommend this property if you’re wanting to visit the area.

Laguna Beach Sanctuary is a paradise for families!

Laguna Beach Sanctuary is a paradise for families! We had some of the most memorable moments in a long time. The house is located perfectly just above town and is easy to get to the beach or Top of the World Park. What a nice luxurious escape for my family. The house has beautiful art in every room along with ocean views and the backyard has a tropical waterfall rock Jacuzzi that the kids loved to splash around in during the day. The house is perfect for large families with 2 bedrooms upstairs and 2 downstairs with 2 entertainment floors I between, so it was peaceful and quiet for all. Let’s not forget the koi fish in the entrance to greet us. The gourmet kitchen was spectacular to cook in also, AND the views are breathtaking. I highly recommend LAGUNA BEACH SANCTUARY for families to come together anytime!

Perfect

Karen's house in Laguna Beach could not have been any better. We were visiting our son and his fiancé for Christmas and we thought renting a home would be a better choice their were five of us and we needed four rooms and a bigger space for our family to celebrate the Holidays, it turned out perfect. We would rent Karen's home again when we are in the area. We absolutely recommend this Beautiful home. Thanks

House, Views and Host Exceptional

This multilevel Laguna Beach hillside home was perfect for my family and me. With bedrooms on the top and ground level there was plenty of room for the five of us. The two "living" levels gave us all plenty of room to relax. The home is spacious, fully equipped and beautifully decorated! The wrap around deck offered plenty of beautiful views, day and night. With lounge chairs for sunning, tables with chairs for eating/drinking and an umbrella for a little shade it was my girls' favorite spot to hang. Another deck level came furnished with an umbrellaed table for eating, gas grill and and the incredible stone jacuzzi with waterfall. Another fave spot with the girls! All this at "home" and you're only 5 minutes away from Laguna's restaurants, shops and beaches. In a word, perfect! My review wouldn't be complete without a couple words about our host. Karen is great! She was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Very friendly, fun and full of information about the area. She made us feel very much at home!

Stunning Views. Amazing House.

Karen's home is architecturally stunning, a multilevel design that takes account of the home's hillside perch and the magnificent views of the ocean. We were graced with unlimited visibility, a view of Catalina Island and fiery sunsets. The house is roomy, afforded plenty of space for our family gathering, and with the multilevel layout gave each of us a sense of privacy when we retired for the evening. The kids loved the downstairs bedrooms. Karen herself is a pleasure to deal with. She's pleasant, straightforward, and helpful. We'll be back!!
