Charming Manzanita Red Cottage near Beach & Village

Step through the old wooden gates and down the stairs to discover one of Laguna’s most remarkable hidden treasures. Here in this story-book setting four charming, old-world style cottages and a studio apartment accommodation are nestled amidst fragrant floral gardens reminiscent of early California. A whimsical wishing well in the center of the grassy courtyard adds special magic to this delightful and relaxing hideaway for couples looking for a romantic weekend getaway, family vacationers and business vagabonds. The cottage is tucked away in a historic Laguna Beach neighborhood. The cottages are close enough for a stroll to the beach, shops, restaurants, and galleries, yet far enough away from the activities of downtown Laguna. Laguna Beach has a cute trolly that is free to take all round the city. Runs Friday-Sunday. Uber, Lyft and taxis are also easy ways to get around if you don't want to walk. Built in 1927 by Hollywood film producer Harry Green, the cottages have been beautifully restored to reflect the charm of the original Laguna Beach art colony while offering the convenience and comfort of modern day amenities, lodging, and accommodations in Southern California. Each rental cottage has individually-selected furnishings and artwork.

Mari’s Sunshine Cottage

4.89 out of 5 average rating, 257 reviews4 weeks ago

I had an absolutely amazing long stay here! Debi was alway checking in and making sure my stay was going smoothly or if there was anything she could do! Being greeted with fresh lemons from the tree outside and fresh eggs warmed my Texas born heart!! I never heard them(except excited kiddos getting sun on the weekend) and felt so comfortable there! She was always answering any questions I had within 30mins of me asking and her place was super cozy for the days I wanted to be lazy but super close to trails and food for days I wanted to go out! Check in and check out instructions along with parking were super easy and very descriptive! I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay! Thank you!!

Vintage Craftsman Cottage Near the Beach

4.92 out of 5 average rating, 259 reviews3 weeks ago

Janis’s place is very central to all that Newport Beach has to offer as well close enough to hop onto the 55N & get going all over OC or LA. A short right turn away puts you on the PCH & yet, this home overlooking the famed NB Canal streets is super quiet & picturesque. Parking is a challenge anywhere in the beach cities yet Janis was in constant touch with us in sharing her coveted parking garage spots which was in itself priceless to our stay. Very accommodating, Janis has proved to be a distinctly excellent host right through, whenever we needed any kind of info. or assistance. The place itself is lovely, central to coffee shops, the famed Lido Marina & Newport Pen. Located on the 2nd story corner bldg., the WFH desk is well placed to overlook the Canal & the home makes for a warm & comfortable stay right throughout. Clean furnishings & linens, comfortable beds & well laid out space of 2BR+2BA made for an amazing week long stay. We will love to return ! Thank you, Janis.

CITRUS COTTAGE Close to Chapman U & Disneyland

5 out of 5 average rating, 218 reviews1 week ago

Citrus Cottage was what I was hoping for and more. The location was perfect for a visit with our Chapman student, very easy to get to campus and to the Orange Circle, plus it felt private and very safe. Christina and Daniel were very friendly and helpful, so many extra touches. The house was just as pictured and the backyard area was amazing, we enjoyed many hours in the sun in the private area behind the cottage. We loved being there and cannot wait to return. Thank you Christina and Daniel for sharing your beautiful cottage with us.

We really enjoyed our stay over Spring Break. Loved the location. We counted 97 steps from the front door to the sand. Close enough to restaurants, the pier and easy to get to PCH and 55 freeway. It’s about 3/4 mile walk along the sidewalk to get to the pier and all the fun little shops and restaurants. Had some good donuts and tacos right close to the pier. Very clean and fully stocked with books, DVDs, games for kids and families,beach toys and more. Would definitely stay here again.

Really can’t say enough about this wonderful cottage that we stayed at. The cottage itself is extremely well kept. Plenty of space for our family to spread out and enjoy. The location of the cottage couldn’t be better. A two minute walk from the beach and a 10 minute walk into downtown Carlsbad. Our host was extremely kind and responsive, and we’re very appreciative of her and the hosting.
