Back patio was a highlight. Good to have a parking spot in Laguna. Easy walk to The Drake & Starfish for dinners & less than 10 minutes to the beach. We found the K bed to be too soft but that's a personal preference. One of 2 showers too small to use comfortably. Apt was clean. Good communication.

Here for a wedding just down the road so location was perfect. Parking spot a plus. Walk to the Drake for great food & music! Property was clean & comfy. Shower in main bathroom was tiny - one of us was not so tiny, but he managed. Back patio very relaxing, though it was quite hot during the day. Communication with host was perfect. Would definitely stay again!

The apartment is exactly as advertised and reviewed. Great location - a few minute walk to the beach and a couple of miles from downtown. Some reviews talk about street news and it is correct that the two bedrooms are on the coastal highway side but none of us heard it (accept if a very loud motorcycle drove by). We were never woken up during the night. Hosts also have sound machines in each room. Sleeper sofa was a problem (not comfortable as others have stated and broken) but they are replacing it this week so it won’t be a problem going forward. One of my friends slept on the living room couch and it was super comfortable. It felt like a bed due to its size and cushion. The back patio is idyllic. Great place to hang out. And the hosts are great communicators.

This house truly was a sanctuary by the beach. From our mornings on the zen garden patio to our evenings watching the sunsets from the rooftop deck, it was all so amazing! The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. The location was ideal, with Victoria beach close by and downtown Laguna a short trolly ride away. We are definitely looking forward to coming again! This truly is a hidden gem!

Except for early morning construction behind us and late night loud traffic our stay was very enjoyable.

This furnished-with-love penthouse has access to a wonderful hidden terrace, giving you the feeling of having arrived in an oasis! The host is wonderful- very helpful and welcoming. Walking distance from the beach and even downtown Laguna!

We were traveling for a wedding at the Montague. This is an excellent alternative to a hotel stay. Very close to this resort. Would stay here again. Would not consider otherwise.

Exactly what was needed for family of 5 on a 4 day getaway. Great location(10 min walk to one of the most beautiful beaches, treasure island and 5 min walk to the beach across the street). Able to wake up every morning and enjoy coffee and the ocean. Stocked with more then enough linen and toiletries. Prompt and attentive hosts. Never had a problem. Parking spot is tight(good for sedan) and steep flight of stairs up to the penthouse (not a big issue). Everything was great.
