Stayed May 8, 2017My wife and I stayed with Marie for 3 months while I was working in Southern California for the summer. The unit is very nice and clean and has views of the ocean. Marie was always helpful and very responsive. We were there for a long time, so we had to communicate with her a lot. She was always available and worked hard to take care of our needs. It was a nearly perfect situation. As with any experience, there can always be mild inconveniences. Be aware that the kitchenette does not have a sink, which makes doing any kind of dishes difficult. Additionally, we ran into a small ant and spider (mostly daddy long legs) problem around July. It was so minor that we dealt with it ourselves and didn't even bother Marie about it, but I'm sure she would have handled it had we reached out. We knew what we were getting into because we are familiar with Laguna Beach, but for those not familiar, this is an area full of VERY steep hills. Although you can see the ocean from the property, you would not want to plan on walking to and from the beach. However, it is easy to find a parking spot near Victoria Beach if you park on Nye's Place. It was super easy to jump in the car, park down the hill, and be at the beach in 5 minutes. All in all, I highly recommend staying at Marie's place. Laguna Beach is a great town and Marie is a great host.

Stayed Dec 31, 1969My husband and I and our Labrador returned for another season at Marie's. At our suggestion from the previous stay in 2016 Marie did a major renovation of the kitchenette that looks great and was much more user-friendly. And the views of the Pacific and Catalina Island from the windows remains spectacular! Marie goes out of her way to make her guests feel welcome.

Stayed Dec 31, 1969We booked this unit during a summer holiday and were hopeful to walk the kids to the beach and to restaurants without having to worry about parking downtown, etc. The owner was very responsive during the booking process and the unit was clean. It sits below the owner’s main residence but does still have a view of the ocean from some parts of the unit/yard. Despite this location’s close proximity to the ocean and the city transportation offered, there is not a path/sidewalk down the windy hill for pedestrians, making it an unsafe walk to the PCH, especially with kids or a stroller. The walk back up would be a steep incline and again there is the issue of the windy road and the local drivers passing by constantly. This was a huge disappointment for my family (which includes two young children) since we ended up having to drive everywhere and deal with hectic Southern California beach parking. The kitchenette appears to be remodeled since our stay, so I will omit my comments on that subject. We ended up paying holiday rates to stay at a hotel during one of the nights we were there to get the beach experience we had hoped for. Then when everything was all over we ended up in a dispute with the owner over our deposit, which was never resolved (we gave up and moved on with our lives). So if you do end up renting this unit I would recommend making sure all the fees, costs, and terms of the deposit are in writing and clear before hand. Follow up communication with the owner since our stay has not been pleasant or professional.

Stayed Dec 31, 1969If you are looking for a serene, hideway with a comfortable European feel, DON'T MISS THIS EXQUISITE location! (You will be tucked away from it all at the top of a mountain overlooking the Pacific Ocean and The Montage Hotel). If you need to clear your thoughts and quiet your mind this is for you. I've stayed in this lovely home several times over the past few years and look forward to returning soon! The European ambiance, solitude and privacy reminds me of many private villas in France and italy that I've visited with my husband over the past several years. I enjoy the neighborhood, walking up and down the hill everyday for exercise and never, ever miss the sunset. (For walkers, climbers and hiking enthusiasts this is a perfect workout for you)! Marie, who's the owner is ready and capable to take care of your every need. When my husband was ill, she offered to make him a gourmet meal. And, he loved it! She's a great cook and eager to please her guests. We always felt at home and welcomed. Jerry loved going to Marie's and could hardly wait to return. It made us feel like we were in Europe, but, much closer to home. Wonderful memories have been created at this location for myself and family. In fact, there is enough room in the 'living room area' for my young male son to have his own private quarters. It's perfect for a family of three or even four....Enjoy walking on the white sandy beach, the ocean breezes, fresh fish in the local restaurants and various activities in town. There is always something happening in Laguna Beach. And, you can curl up on the couch and read a book or write a book! Whatever your interests may be this a perfect destination to enhance your life! Enjoy!

Stayed Dec 31, 1969My husband and I and Mambo our Labrador are so looking forward to returning to Marie's for another 5 week stay this January and February. Marie is a delight and this year with some suggestions we made about making the kitchen space more user-friendly she completely renovated the area and it looks great!! So now a wonderful new kitchen and still spectacular views of the Pacific ocean and Catalina island. Karen and Stuart Greenbaum

Stayed Dec 31, 1969I had searched for a place to relax and reflect during a hectic relocation from the east coast. The good news is that I found one. Staying almost five weeks, I didn't want to leave. The location is quiet and still close to the downtown areas. The accommodations were beautiful with artwork, beautiful wall decorations and very clean. My host Marie seems to take a lot of pride in her home and welcoming her guests. She has a real European personal flair to her style, that reminded me of being in Italy and France. I have recommended her place to my east coast friends and family who want to experience a little slice of the Laguna Beach and California coast lifestyle.

Stayed Jul 10, 2016All I'm going to say is look elsewhere. We left after the 1st day I arrived. Good luck if you decide to stay here. Don't forget to bring your own kitchen. I'll never use Homeaway again!!!!

Stayed Dec 31, 1969My husband, myself and our 3 yr. old male black labrador stayed in Marie's apartment for 5 weeks this winter. We were so pleased that the apartment was exactly as she represented in the pictures on her site. An eclectic feel of European design at the very, very top of what is called the Amalfi Coast in Laguna Beach. Unobstructed view of the Pacific ocean and Catalina Island with spectacular sunsets. Marie was delightful and accommodating. I was highly recommend staying at her place. Karen and Stuart Greenbaum
