OCEANFRONT COTTAGE IS ON THE SAND IN HEART OF LAGUNA BEACH VILLAGE

My husband and I stayed with another couple during the middle of March. We loved every minute of it! There are beautiful ocean views throughout the inside and outside of the cottage, all to be seen from truly lovely, relaxing spots of comfortable seating/lounging. The inside design/layout is so inviting and spacious given that it is a “cottage” with the outside decks and ocean always beckoning your gaze “beyond”. The decks are well maintained and have lovely containers of plants and landscaping placed throughout the stone/decking path from the top deck all the way down to the bottom deck at the beach…yes, there are indeed four full decks from which to stroll/gaze/relax!! The dining table facing full glass doors that open to the top deck make for exquisite open air dining experiences…even with the doors shut, you still feel as you are enjoying the outside. You can also use the third deck down to grill/dine outside while enjoying the hot tub and/or the outdoor fireplace. The two main bedrooms are very comfortable (beds are great for the pickiest of sleepers!!) with plenty of room to fully unpack/hide your suitcases. The attached bathrooms are well laid out with full line of high-end toiletries provided. The third bedroom and bath shower located at the rear (entrance) of the cottage is really only suitable for kids or two twenty-something adults who are willing to “scrunch up” a bit for the joy of staying at the cottage. The kitchen is very modern, open and upscale and fully stocked with pots/pans/dishes, etc. The gas fireplaces in the living room and in the downstairs master suite make for great evening coziness with the soothing sound of the ocean waves in the background. The location of the cottage within Laguna Beach is also great…wonderful restaurants and shops abound just a short walk or very few blocks away…Ralph’s Grocery store is only two blocks away and is well-stocked for any gourmet recipes you may want to whip up. The cottage has a Bose I-pod sound system in the upstairs area and a surprisingly great selection of books; suitable for many varied interests…my husband was amazed that there were so many books he really wanted to read…he got through 3 of them. If the location and all the amenities were not enough, working out our stay arrangements and all assistance from Al, the owner, was superb in all respects…he really was a joy to interact with and very attentive and prompt to all our questions/needs… best landlord experience ever!!
