We had a terrific time at your condo.The view from the Strand beach was gorgeous. It was so close for great morning walks. We cooked quite a bit on the new grill! We loved the close proximity to all of the beaches. Aliso beach in Laguna was our favorite. We will definitely be back!

We enjoyed our stay at the Castaways Cottage in March & April 2012 and booked again for the month of March, 2013. Unforturnately Marie was hospitalized the 1st week of February through March 8th and we had to cancell our reservation. Ralph was very understanding and professionally handled the cancellation and refunded over and about the rental agreement . We will consider returning in the future.

This cottage was exactly as advertised. Very comfortable and spacious. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't very cooperative and we both had health problem. The condo was however, excellent and we would highly recommend it to anyone.

We are a family from Sweden who spent a week in July in this clean, comfortable condo with the greatest location. We spent our days both at the beach and by the pool. Our boys (8 and 10 years old) loved that we could walk to the beautiful beach and spend a few hours there, walk home and have lunch and then spend the afternoon by the pool. The neighborhood is very calm and peaceful and friendly. We loved the little town where we found many good restaurants and great grocery shopping if we wanted to eat in the condo. The condo is well equipped and nicely furnished. We really recommend this for families or couples who just want to relax and enjoy beautiful surroundings! We really do hope we can come back sometime!

You can't can't beat this 1 bedroom condo for value, quality and location. Ralph and his wife met us at the condo for a personal orientation of the unit. The unit is well equipped and so airy. It's about a 15 minute walk to the beach along a beautiful cliff overlooking the ocean. We would stay here again when we come back to California.
