Quaint, Cozy, Historic 3BR/2BA Cottage - Six Blocks from Beach

Absolutely gorgeous property. Very walkable. You can SEE the ocean from the patio. Very cozy cottage vibes. Highly recommend.

Our family loved our stay at this magical treehouse. We were able to walk to the beach, shops, cafes, etc. Great location!

Great place to slow things down. Walking distance to it all... even grocery store Ralph's. We enjoyed the vibe of relax and don't take ithings too seriously. We will return.

This cottage was perfect, a true respite from the noise of the world chaos Surrounded by huge ancient trees one might think you were in the mountains. Birds singing and a view from every window. Friendly Cats to greet you outside the kitchen door each morning. A really well stocked VRBO. Kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, dishes and even two cork screws! Oh , and a normal size refrigerator too. Plenty of towels & and linens. I felt as if I was stepping into someone’s home.It is a joy filled place, with a good spirit ..Inside the front door is a beautiful piece of hand embroidery that welcomes the GUEST. Be sure to read the old beige guest book, including the history of the cabin..written by Hugh Wire, the son of Harold Wire the original builder of the cabin. So very thankful to the Wire Family for opening their home to travelers.Eileen

It’s a great location. The property owners were kind and responsive. I know it is an area in demand and property is expensive but the property needs some updating.It doesn’t have air. We didn’t need it most of the time, but when we arrived, the temperature of the house was 80 inside. I realize that would be a significant expense to add air conditioning.The front bedroom is a little musty smelling. The cranks on some of the windows don’t work, and there aren’t screens on all of the windows when you open them. The coffee maker could use an upgrade.We loved the cottage feel of the place. We love the closeness to the main strip of Laguna Beach. We love the deck for just hanging out and birdwatching in the cool trees that are on the property. Finally, it was really nice to have the ample parking area.Overall, we really enjoyed the place.

This is such a time capsule homestead property. Rustic. Charming. Snow white vibes. 6 women stayed for a 50th birthday. Plenty of bedding. Comfortable beds. They supplied plenty of bedding and towels, soap, toilet paper, paper towels. Lots of seasonings. We enjoyed the ambiance. The trees are everything. Please don't chop them down. Loved the parking with the long driveway. We had 3 cars by the beach and no issues parking. If you want luxury dont rent here but if you want Comfortable vibes with historical charm this is a winner. We did walk to and from dinner, its doable, but uphill back takes a minute if you're not in shape, like us . Beautiful neighborhood so the pauses were well spent. Its clean. 2 bathrooms, 1 shower, but it's a cool shower. Enjoy!!!

Another lovely weekend in the well appointed cabin.

Such a charming place. It really is time traveling. It may not suit everyone’s needs in terms of comfort. But what a gem !

This home is an historic gem, a throw-back to very early Laguna Beach, and what many homes in CA coastal communities used to look like. It is very rustic and cabin-like. Cozy inside with a lovely deck outside. You'll feel as though you are in a tree-house. Very private. Five-stars for the uniqueness and the historic quality, but a 4-star rating overall because the bed comfort needs some updating. Would stay again.

Everything was wonderful and the home was so cozy!! We'll definitely be coming back some time :)

Loved this historic property and the entire vibe! Will definitely stay again.

What a tranquil space. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this sweet cabin.

The cottage was located in a quiet, peaceful area just a short walk from the beach. It provided the privacy and relaxation my husband wanted and the proximity to shops and restaurants that my young adult children wanted. It offered the best of both worlds.

Yes, our dogs are very well trained, house broke, they loved the gentle hills around the property.

Annette was a wonderful host and very supportive when our plans changed.

We loved it! What a special place!!

Rustic apparently equals old and shabby. 1. Broken coffee maker.2. No coffee filters when we tried to make do with the broken coffee maker.3. No sugar. Even cheap hotels supply ability to make coffee and accompanying condiments.4. Speaking of condiments, the refrigerator had used condiments and the freezer had old ice cream. I do not, and no one should, use opened items at VRBOs.5. It was old and tatty. Faded framed posters on the walls, slanted floors, all the things that accompany an old neglected property.6. A used bar of soap in the shower. This is just gross and unacceptable.7. There was no sense of welcome upon entering the house. It was old, it smelled old, the floors were sagging and slanted, and the keys were held together with a hair tie.

It is a pretty place. There was no coffee, shampoo or fans, (which were needed the fbut that might be normal in CA.

The home was exactly as described and exceeded our expectations. We loved its' cozy, rustic charm; as well as the proximity to the beach and shops. We had to change dates 2x leading up to our stay and Steve/Annette were very gracious and accommodating.

Historic cottage in the peaceful hills of Laguna. We loved it!

Great location - private yet within easy walking distance from beaches, shops and restaurants. Comfortable beds. Bathrooms adequate, but only one (spacious) shower. It is very rustic. Could use some TLC and some upgrades.

My family and I had a very memorable stay here.

We loved our stay. The house was so cute and in a quiet area. The huge surrounding trees and bushes made it seem tucked away in an area far from a citty but was actually so close to the beaches and main beach. We enjoyed game nights out on the deck with the ocean view in the background. There is no ac so bring a fan if you can. Luckily we brought a couple fans. They had beach chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards. Oh and private off the street parking! Amazing! We want to stay there again.

We love this place. Third year in a row staying here!

This is a very quaint, but very rustic cabin. The location is wonderful. The setting is beautiful and the hosts were responsive and wonderful to work with. We were not prepared for how rustic the accommodation is. There were 5 adult family members preparing for a wedding. We had to share one bathroom as there is only one shower.The other bathroom does not have a practical bathing facility. The lighting is poor, so difficult to get glamorous. That being said, the outdoor spaces are beautiful and you cannot beat the location; within walking distance to the beach and multiple great cafes, restaurants and shops. If you are prepared for a rustic cabin in the woods, then I would definitely recommend!

The cottage definitely lived up to the 5 star reviews I read before arriving. Comfortable, romantic, peaceful, and within easy walking distance to restaurants and beaches. We were in town for a wedding and so glad to be staying here and not at a hotel.

Absolutely amazing stay. It was so peaceful & the home was so beautiful. Such a wonderful experience

The home was very quaint and cozy and was in easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. The owner was super responsive and even had a new coffee maker delivered when the one at the house stopped working.

Great location. we had a nice stay with our friends and family.

This place is a gem and is the second time we've rented it in the last 10 years. We had 3 kids with us and it was perfect for our stay, we hope to come back annually.

This charming beyond belief cottage was exactly what we wanted! Privacy, trees, birds and such an amazing rustic (yet modern!) cottage to spend your time! My husband had business and I gladly stayed at the cottage working on jigsaw puzzles or walking around outside on this amazing property! Will definitely stay here again when in OC!!

We loved our time in Laguna in this cozy 1920s cabin in a grove of eucalyptus trees. At times i felt like I was in a tree house, it was so delightful. The deck made for lovely mornings with a cup of coffee and cocktail hour as the sun set. We appreciated how walkable it is to the beach coves. The fireplace made for a cozy winter visit. We appreciate the family history of this cottage and are grateful for our time there.

The authenticity and feeling of your place was wonderful. I met with my college room mate from the mid 1960's and our wives. We were celebrating our 80th B days. Thanks so much. Peace and LoveBill and Kathryn and Kim and Angela

We highly recommend this location for a stay in Laguna Beach or Irvine. It is an amazing structure that dates back to the 1920s. We loved seeing the stages of development recorded in the main room photos. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook breakfast and dinner, and we looked forward to our daily walks in the neighborhood. We cannot wait to return in the future!

Coming from the Los Angeles fires, my family was feeling very fragile. As luck would have it, we met a wonderful mother at Bluebird Park, Laura, who introduced us to this rental. Charming, restorative, peaceful--we couldn't have asked for more during our stay with our 15 month old son. Surrounded by light, trees and wood, we enjoyed beautiful meals on the deck and walks through the serene neighborhood to the beach. We will definitely be coming back and cannot wait for others to share a similar experience.

Wonderful short stay, short walk from the beach. Rustic but charming. Will be back!

We enjoyed the quirkiness and charm of the home - made us feel like we were in a mountain cabin and yet it was right near the beach and downtown. Nice quiet neighborhood to go on walks and for families.

Loved the off street parking…charming place worked out well

Quirky in the best ways, great patio, comfortable beds, in walking distance to so many great beaches, stores and restaurants while feeling secluded from everything in an amazing suburban forested retreat.

Another couple and my husband and I all stay here for a wedding that was at Crystal Cove. The stay was so relaxing and exactly what wee needed for a getaway. Very close to good food and shops and a short walk from the beach. We loved how quiet and tucked away this cute little cabin was it felt like a dream! Definitely a rustic time-capsule home! We will definitely book here again.
