    Lovely, quiet place in Laguna. Nice space, gorgeous bath! This is just up in the hills, along Bluebird Canyon -- great views from the wrap-around deck.

    The place is an amazing, quiet little suite with a gorgeous bathroom! The area is very quiet and away from the city - making the nights very peaceful and quiet. The bathtub area is absolutely gorgeous - I could stay in there for hours! Chris was a very communicative, friendly and kind host as well! Definitely would recommend to anyone staying in Laguna or trying to get away from the city.

    Location was great. Easy to get to everywhere we wanted to go in and around Laguna Beach area. Nights were very quiet and easy to sleep. Also the view as very nice. You can sit out on the balcony and just stare out at he scenery for hours. Bedroom, bathroom, and shower were all great. Very beautiful inside. I plan on going back every year we can.

    Loved the location not far from the water but far enough that it had great views and loved hanging out on the balcony and sleeping with the door open. So clean and nice. Chris is great and full of great local knowledge. Looking forward to a return visit!

    I felt like we were staying in a beautiful little treehouse surrounded by beauty. Peaceful, calming, beautiful inside and out. A great respite from the sun and sand. Thank you Chris.

    To clarify, my wife and I stayed in the upstairs en suite. The apartment was spacious, clean, bright and tastefully appointed. Large soaking tub and grotto-style shower were very pleasant. I really enjoyed the outdoor settee / umbrella combo, and the little, private seating area was my favorite part. The area is so quiet at night that you can actually hear the waves crashing. Chris was a gracious host, always there to help with luggage or to provide restaurant or activity suggestions. We would love to stay there again sometime soon. Thank you Chris!

    We are 4 couples that meet up at least once a year for a friends reunion. We chose Laguna this year and picked this house to stay at. It was perfect, 4 bedrooms each with its own bath. Large open floor plan for its kitchen and living room for us to gather in the evening. Great patio and garden area where we drank our morning coffee or afternoon cocktail. The house is super quiet. Its a mile down to the beach, but we needed the excercise after all the good food we ate at the local restaurants, and Chris gave us some secret parking space advice to park in Laguna in the evening. It was a wonderful place to stay.

    We stayed at this beautiful home for 3 days. Our home in nearby Laguna Niguel was getting treated for termites and this comfortable Laguna Beach residence was idea for our short stay. Chris, the owner, is a builder who built the home himself. You can tell from the many interesting built-in features that he is quite artistic as well. The neighborhood is as quiet as you can find and backs into Bluebird Canyon where it ends, yet it's also not far from the beach and the main part of town. We had a very relaxing stay. The home met our needs in every way.
