Laguna Beach Gem with Amazing View

PROPERTY IS AMAZING. WENDY IS A WONDERFUL HOST. KITCHEN PERFECTLY STOCKED. VERY CLEAN. WANT TO COME BACK.

These 5 weeks went by way too fast, but what a place to enjoy yourselves. Location was just perfect for everything we wanted to do; Alfresco dining at a myriad of venues, coastal living, views for ever, hiking/walking trails, etc. The property was fully provisioned, you had everything you possibly could need. We loved it!!!!

We enjoyed our month long stay. The location is great and the communication with the property manager was very good.

The courtyard was very private with beautiful wicker furniture. The view of the ocean and canyon was scenic from the bedrooms, dining room and living room.The style of the home is eclectic and very comfortable. The deck off the dining room and one of the bedrooms was nice to relax on and just chill out. Wendy, the owner, was available at all times to assist with any problems that occurred. The home also included things for the beach. I can't think of anything you would need to bring other than your clothes. .

I almost hate to leave a review because we don't want to give away this hidden gem :) -- We absolutely loved this home! It had everything you could want in a rental. The house felt extremely homey and having a full, beautiful kitchen was great! One of our favorite things was spending time in the front courtyard, it was a wonderful little oasis. The house has a great energy. We traveled with our two dogs who also loved this property. The backyard was perfect for them. Wendy couldn't have been more of a pleasure to stay in contact with. The house is just far away enough from the hustle and bustle of town but close enough to get there in a few minutes. And we loved being so close to Alta Laguna/Top of the World park for some great hikes, views and sports. Honestly, we have no negative comments or areas of improvement! It's obvious to say we will definitely be returning in the near future! :)

My husband and I enjoyed our recent stay at this beautiful and well-maintained home in Laguna Beach. It is located in a quiet location and is spacious, clean, and comfortable. The location is ideal -- close to the beach, shopping, a nice park, and good restaurants. The owners are absolutely wonderful. We can't thank them enough for opening their beautiful home to us. The home is serene, beautifully decorated, and the furnishings are well-maintained and comfortable. The kitchen is a chef's dream. We were impressed with how generously stocked this home was - with everything we needed for our home away from home--from coffeemaker, dishes, glassware, cutlery, pots and pans, storage containers, to cleaning supplies and paper goods. The view of the ocean is beautiful, and the yard for the home is spacious -- both front and back. We enjoyed the lush front courtyard just as much as we enjoyed the beautiful deck in the back and the tiered yard. This home is one of the best vacation rentals we have had in Southern California. We already booked for next June and can't wait to return.

My wife and I rented this delightful home for the second time in August 2013 and we enjoyed a wonderful month in Laguna Beach. We love the private courtyard, the ocean views from every major room, the superbly equipped kitchen and the comfortable furnishings. We just can't say enough about this beautiful property and the very accommodating owners... except that we've already reserved another visit!

We had a wonderful time in this home. The walking/biking trails are very close and the scenery is beautiful. The home is extremely comfortable and the owners are so very accommodating. We definitely will be returning. And, it is amazing to come back on Monday morning to a clean home, clean bedding and all the rest. Wonderful!

I can't say enough good things about this property. The location is great with wonderful views of the ocean and the canyon. We saw red tail hawks and hummingbirds each day and even a coyote one morning. The house itself is so well equipped with everything you could possibly ask for. The beds are super comfy and the kitchen is very well stocked. The gardens and the courtyard are absolutely beautiful and look like they are lovingly cared for. My family felt very much at home here and it made for a wonderful vacation experience.

My wife and I discovered this wonderful property while vacationing in the area last year and immediately booked it for August 2011. Perched almost at Top of the World it proved to be even better than we had remembered. Photos don't do justice to the magnificent canyon and ocean views from almost every room and can't convey the serenity you feel when you enter the house through the gated garden (which our wire fox terrier quickly claimed as hers). The house has a great floor plan which easily accomodated our daughter and her family who joined us for two weeks, it was very comfortably furnished and superbly equipped. We called Wendy, the delightful owner, who had to awaken the Maytag repairman to fix one of the two, yes two, washers. When we spoke, she asked if either the hanging flower baskets in the courtyard or the live orchids in the house needed to be replaced. We've rented through VRBO many times and never been asked if it's time to replace the orchids. This really is a Laguna Beach Gem. Frank & Rosemary, August 2011
