The cottage was beautiful, just what we were looking for for our few days by the ocean. The beds were really comfortable and rooms were really spacious. The cottage also offered nice spaces to chill out after a tough day on the beach. Location was excellent. Lots of good restaurants and cafes within walking distance and beach was one block away. I'll be back!

Beautiful cottage. So much better than staying at a hotel. Everything was taken care of and every potential need thought of and provided for. We so loved our stay, and hope to be back int the future. Thank you so much for your hospitality!

Neil was great to deal with-- very communicative and easy going. The cottage is exactly as advertised and very close to the downtown restaurants and beach. I highly recommend going to Tacos Locos at some point-- the food is incredible. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to any friends looking to stay in Laguna Beach!

We really enjoyed our stay at Neil's place. It's in a great location and the cottage is extremely cute with some of the most comfortable beds! We will definitely be going back.

The cottage was everything you see and more. Attention to detail around every corner. Fully stocked kitchen allowed us to enjoy freshly ground coffee, and all the cooking tools to fix appetizers throughout the day. Beds were comfy, and shower had all the typical toiletries found at a hotel. Very nice place!

This place could not be more cozy & magical! Loved every minute of our (unfortunately short) stay. But def plan to come back soon hopefully!

Perfect location in Laguna Beach very close to the main beach.. Just off of Coast Highway so very little street noise. Plenty of parking. Cottage has been completely renovated. It is like new. It has a very nice kitchen that is fully equipped. Neil is a tremendous host. I would absolutely stay here again.

Very nice place, close to the beach & off the crowded tourist center. Enjoyed our stay a lot!

We had an amazing stay in Laguna with my wife and two small children. The entire process was "laid back"... and we loved it that way. This is a beautiful and roomy surf shack that is very well appointed and comfortable. Within minutes walking distance to great beaches, restaurants/bars/coffee/grocery, and all kinds of shops. We wish we could have stayed longer and will be back in the future! Were unable to connect to the Wi-Fi with any device, and couldn't seem to get that resolved (only posting this in case you need Wi-Fi for work, kids etc.). Still worth a 5-star review -- this place is... shall I say "RAD"!!

So to much say… The cottage is truly the quintessential beach house! Clean, minimal, "beachy," style, with an open floor plan, plenty of sun, comfortable beds, 2 blocks from the beach, free parking, AND a with a front yard with an Ocean View!!! The location is perfect; far enough away from the main beach for calm and quiet, with access to all the tiny, lesser-traveled coves; yet, close enough to walk down and take in all of the action. Turn south instead of north, walk ten minutes to K'ya's rooftop bar and watch the sunset. Devine. We will be back, probably several times. Lastly, Neil's responds promptly, and it could not have been easier! Great place, great host!

What a great cottage! The home was recently remodeled and decorated very nicely. It was equipped with all the comforts of home and perfect for a family of four. The location was amazing. Only one block to the beach. Neil was welcoming and great to work with!

Neil's place was 50 seconds from the beach just as he said. It is recently remodeled and very welcoming. He made the entire process very easy. He was attentive to all our questions and was onsite to give us our keys. He even offered to show us around, which I thought was a lovely touch. He had everything we could have needed. Towels, bath laundry supplies in case we needed to wash our clothes before packing up. We would love to go back for a longer stay the next time. His place is in a great location-walking distance to the beach and downtown Laguna.

This place is an excellent location as described and I would highly recommend. Clean and new, thank you Neil.

We were the first guests to stay at this adorable beach cottage over Spring Break. It is eveything described and more! It is immaculately decorated with every convenience that you'd need for a vacation in Laguna. It is ideally located a short walk to the beach and cafes. We had the best time! Neil is one of the nicest guys and had the best suggestions where to have breakfast and where to skimboard. I highly recommend to anyone who wants a breezy and relaxing stay in Laguna, stay here at Neil's cottage. Can't wait to come back. Thanks again Neil!! Carly

The property was wonderfully located. The kitchen was poorly stocked. There were no extra trash bags or any towels to dry dishes with. No ice trays to fill up in the freezer, so no ice! The overall charm factor was good though!
The cottage was the perfect place to stay to enjoy Laguna Beach. A quick walk to the beach and downtown, close drive to hiking trails and amazing scenery. Everything on the “business side” was easy (communication, check-in/check-out) and the cottage was clean and the perfect size for our group of 6. Definitely recommend!
Sleeper sofa mattresses were very worn and terribly stained. not useable. AC barely worked and it happened to be very warm that week. The unit never cooled down the cottage. The floor fans that were provided did not work. There was a terrible sewer gas smell in the upstairs shower whenever it was used. The unit was very tired and in need of significant repairs and updating.
Our poor experience started out when we could the provided entry code did not work. When we contacted the property manager, he realized it had not been cleaned. He said he would get ahold of a cleaner and let us know when it was ready. We finally got in at 9 pm instead of the promised 3 pm. The next day we realized that we did not have internet connection or TV. The only channel we got was a shopping channel. My daughter had planned to work from this rental, so this was not acceptable. Working with the property manager we finally got access to TV and the internet 2 days later. This was unacceptable to kids and adults alike. The kitchen was very under stocked. We did not cook there. The beds were comfortable and the two bedrooms large, but the close proximity of businesses, and the crashing from a recycling plant made for a very unrelaxing stay. I would not recommend this property. It is definitely not as described and we did not have a good experience.
Such a great spot in Laguna Beach! Walking distance to the beach, shops, and restaurants, just between the HIP District and downtown area. It was so easy to navigate around town! As another reviewer noted, the furnishings are not the same as pictured on the listing. This was a bit of a disappointment, but didn’t put a damper on our trip. We would gladly stay again if the living room and patio had more seating options for a family of four.
First, the photos of the property are totally inaccurate. There is no table outside on the patio. The table inside the unit was tiny (4 people could not eat at it), so we were counting on that outside table to eat on. The couch, chairs and coffee table pictured in the living room are not the ones in the unit. The ones in the unit are very poor quality. The photos of the loft are also inaccurate. The loft does not have those cute folding chairs. It has a low quality sofa with gross stains on the pull-out couch. The photo of the kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms are accurate. The coffee maker did not work (the water leaks out of the bottom), the toaster was unusable, and there was only 1/3 of a roll of paper towels and no kitchen towels (as pictured). If you have small children, this is not the place for you. There are a lot of stairs between each room, so many places for toddlers to climb and fall. Overall, the location was great, but the condition of the home is much different than pictured in the listing. The cleanliness was average. I would not recommend this listing to a family, but it would be fine for a couple (as long as you don't need coffee or a toaster).
It was the perfect place for our weekend vacay
This rental is in a fantastic location and in a quiet neighborhood. We had a malfunctioning coffee pot and Neil quickly remedied the situation. We have a great a great stay.
In town for daughters swim meet in Irvine, but wanted to stay closer to the beach. This was the perfect distance (20 mins from pool) and walkable to beach, shopping, eating, everything!
This Vrbo was perfect for our group of 5! It was just as pictured and had everything we needed. It even had 2 irons and a hairdryer which came in handy as we were attending a wedding reception one night. We rented a car but didn’t even end up moving it from the provided parking spot all weekend because everything was within walking distance!
A wonderful respite near the center of town, walkable to everything. A small house set in back, but had plenty of space for the three of us. Would recommend and would love to come back.
