Laguna Beach Cottage | Classic beach town vibe on iconic Cliff Dr, steps to stunning Heisler Pk.

1 Bedroom Cottage in Laguna Beach

Experience a restored “beach cottage vibe” with an incredible opportunity to live like a local at the beach, away from the hustle-bustle of all the tourists yet walkability to everything you might want. Appprx nearly 700 square-foot “house” (one shared wall) equipped with full kitchen, separate living room, separate spacious King bedroom, full bathroom, private deck and amazing close in ocean views and doors to the beach, all for far less $$$ than the cost of a single room in the surrounding “view hotel rooms” ($700-900) in our prestigious North Laguna residential area. Located on iconic Cliff Dr among 5M-25M single-family homes, our location is basically a tourist noise free residential neighborhood yet walking close to Laguna Village, Heisler Park and beautiful beaches doors away. We are not in the crowded tourist areas that are so congested in Laguna Beach. We are in North Laguna Beach, which is another world of Laguna Beach, on the south border of Newport Coast and Newport Beach. Escape the troubles of the modern world and live like the locals, where life is one long holiday. Drop your shoulders, recharge your batteries, fill your senses and your tummy, all just steps away from sand between your toes.
LagunaBeachCharmers offers central Heat and Air Conditioning (rare to have AC in Laguna), close-in sweeping ocean views in a premier residential location (without partying renters all night long), a three minute walk to sandy beaches, food, coffee, and beautiful Pavilions market and a short walk to the Laguna Village, no need for a car. If any of that matters to you, then this is your place!
Enjoy our close-in panoramic ocean view personal deck for complete relaxation, reading, or just chillin and gazing. Or within a couple of blocks you might want to try paddleboarding, paddle yoga at Fishermans Cove or Divers Cove, or surfing, kayaking, rent scuba gear, snorkeling gear, get scuba certified, go out on scuba boat, (all available one block away), have a massage or pedi/mani, hike the neighborhood trails, explore the tide pools, walk a block to Pavillions supermarket (with a Starbucks inside and a very upscale wine shop with amazing prices) for convenient stay-in ocean view deck dining, or shop for adult beverages or healthy indulgences: Husky Boy great burgers, Jan's for super healthy breakfast smoothies and Açaí bowls, and lunch; Reunion Kitchen dining and full bar, Pizza, Asada Mexican with margaritas; Black Dot Vietnamese coffee (strong) with take out breakfast and lunch, and more, all just doors away. Within a block is a private gym that will allow daily use of their equipment and also a Pilates studio that has a daily rate.
Besides our sandy beaches you can tour Disneyland and Legoland, we are located between the two. After a long day put the exhausted kiddos to bed and have after-hour cocktails on our deck, enjoy our smart TV in the comfortable living room, or relax in our cozy romantic master bedrm. This 1930s cottage is tastefully furnished in coastal appropriate appointments, no “thrift shop or garage sale finds”, with panoramic ocean views on prestigious Cliff Drive. One king bedroom with 100% cotton linens, full bath, granite kitchen with all the amenities, and original preserved beautiful trestle beams and hardwood floors throughout. Grand living room with trundle twin beds suitable for minors, Primary bedroom, living room plus personal deck overlook the ocean. All linens provided and professionally laundered. We have great WIFI. We provide beach chairs, towels and beach umbrellas.
Walk one block to the beach and to the entrance of Heisler Park which is perched along the waves for a breathtaking short walk to the enchanting Laguna Village with restaurants of every category, high end or taco stand, and local shopkeepers. Free daily trolleys can be picked up right across the street on Coast Hwy.

We are not suitable for partying groups. Our mission is to offer a "live like a local" awesome beach vacation while at the same time being located in walk-friendly north Laguna Beach.
Do not be concerned that the property backs up to the Coast Hwy 1. It is not a traditional "highway" . It is the iconic state Coastal Highway 1 that weaves up the Pacific Coast from our southern border to Canada. In Laguna Beach it is just an ordinary 2 lanes each way main artery street with stop lights every couple of blocks. There is a garden courtyard buffer between the street and the cottage. The Bedroom and Living Room are on the Cliff Drive side and overlook Cliff Dr and the ocean across the street.
Laguna Beach is consistently among the top 10 beach resorts in the U.S. The Laguna Beach beach lifestyle is all around us, not partying groups that are so popular in our neighboring towns, but if you are coming here for a totally quiet experience our place may not for you. LagunaBeachCharmer’s two vacation rental cottages are for visitors looking for a vibrant beach "live like a local" escape with all the amenities of a bustling, popular, upscale Southern California beach town. At times there will be trucks, trolleys from the free trolley route we are on, occasional neighborhood construction, barking dogs, or motorcycles, exotic car show offs or modified exhaust cars (all whose revved up noise is forbidden in Laguna but they do it occasionally anyway), sirens or more, that pass by our cottages and by our immediate neighborhood of $5M+ homes. More than half of our guests return time and again.
Also, while we have great non metered street parking in front of the building for eight cars, in the hot weekend months those places fill up fast with beachgoers. Please be patient and a place will open up for you usually after 5 PM until about 10 AM. Weekends are the busiest. Once you are at the cottage, unless you are taking day trips, you will rarely have to move your car as we are a "walkability" neighborhood with a trolley stop a few yards away. The City of Laguna Beach also now provides the Laguna Local, which is an Uber-like Van that will pick you up at convenient designated spots and take you to your destination in Laguna Beach. No cost. No tipping.
Also, unusual for homes in Laguna Beach, we have central air-conditioning! We normally have a very mild temperature range but more and more we have occasional heat waves. We also have portable fans and ceiling fans.
If you wish to have an incredible stay and need a two bedroom, please check out our listing 310136. It's perfect for four people or a couple with two older children, but not suitable for children under seven. Or have a great great experience and book both cottages for up to 8 people.
For your safety and health concerns: we offer contactless, keyless entry. Our building is very well configurated for physical distancing. Our 3 cottages (one is our residence) are well separated and you do not have to interact with any other guest. Only our laundry room would have 2 other possible cottages share. Our cleaning crew are well trained in sanitizing and take all necessary precautions. All bedding, duvet covers, etc, are washed at a local professional laundry with each new guest. On site we have a new LG washer and dryer, state of the art for high-efficiency and sanitation. These are offered complementary along with detergent for our guests.

Summary: Stayed for the weekend on a last minute decision, property was just what we needed. Deck overlooking the water and board games were the perfect antidote to stressful work weeks. Lots of great walking trails, cafes, and amenities nearby.
Ross S. Apr 26, 2025 09:05:53 PM
Summary: Absolutely zero complaints, it was the perfect cottage and we will absolutely be back. Wonderful!!
Michael R. Jan 30, 2025 02:35:26 AM
Summary: We were so happy we chose to stay at this bungalow. The location was terrific and we loved the place!
Lori W. Dec 2, 2024 04:22:35 AM
Summary: Great stay. Beautiful location and very equipped rental. Good for couples. Gerri and her family were helpful with any issues we had.
William M. Oct 1, 2024 11:15:17 AM
Summary: Owners, Gerri and Art, accurately described their lovely one-bedroom, fully-equipped and wonderfully appointed cottage perched a few steps from the Pacific Ocean in Laguna Beach. Its proximity to great dining venues, wonderful shopping, fabulous single roasted coffee bars, the Laguna Beach trolley, and the Pavilion's grocery store were most welcoming. For 15 nights, we truly enjoyed our Southern Californian cottage and the OC vibe. The cottage reflects its Bohemian rich lifestyle. Thank you Gerri and Art!

Summary: This cottage was perfect for us! It's older but very clean, well stocked, and cozy. It has everything you need, including beach chairs and toys. Our 11 year old daughter was very comfortable on the daybed in the living room. The cottage is an easy 5-10 minute walk through the neighborhood to several beautiful coves. It's also within walking distance to a very nice grocery store, coffee shops, and a restaurant. I suggest leaving your car at the cottage and using the trolley system to go downtown or to the main beach. There are several parking spots available on the street in front of the condo, but it can be tough to find a spot during the day, when the locals come to the beach. And it was impossible to park in front of the cottage on Sunday when we arrived! Just unload, find a spot wherever you can, and then move your car when the beachgoers go home that evening. Sunday was definitely frustrating with the parking situation, but it's the only day we really had issues with finding a spot. The cottage was in a great location for us to explore Southern California. We went to Disneyland one day and down to the San Diego Zoo another day. Otherwise, we spent our days in Laguna Beach. Lots to do, and it has a great vibe. Gerri, the property owner, was in communication with us often and was very nice and helpful! We ended up meeting her on Wednesday when they came to stay in the main house right beside cottage. She goes above and beyond to make sure you have a great stay!

Summary: We loved the week we spent here while vacationing for summer break! Two beaches are right out the front door, both easily walkable. This made visiting the ocean stress free. Waking up to the ocean view was an added delight. 💕 This cottage was well stocked for cooking (I do a lot of it), and had all the comforts for meeting our needs easily made available to us. Gerri is pleasantly communicative, and her extensive welcome guide is as extremely helpful in navigating our stay. We appreciated the unloading zone, and that the home has PCH out the back door, which means added beach parking and restaurants/stores within walking distance. It’s also convenient having a shower on the patio for rinsing off sand. The home stayed very clean due to this, and we weren’t wrestling with sand indoors or in our vehicle. This is our new favorite spot and first choice for visiting the beach! 🏖️

Summary: We loved our week at Gerri and Art's cozy cottage in Laguna Beach. Minutes to a gorgeous beach and a wonderful park along the water; you couldn't ask for a better location. You are also easily able to walk into town to visit restaurants, shops, galleries, etc. The cottage itself is so cute and comfortable. Gerri and Art have put a lot of time and effort into making sure you have everything you need...beach chairs, beach towels and an umbrella, every utensil if you wish to cook, spices and kitchen basics, plenty of paper towels, zip lock bags, aluminum foil, etc. So thoughtful and helpful! They even have ( in addition to an iron) a great clothes steamer...better than the one I schlepped with me! You will love having your meals on the deck with a beautiful water view. We were in need of a deep rest and certainly got one. Thank you, Gerri and Art. We have traveled extensively and your listing is now one of our favorites and you both are one of our favorite hosts. See you again, Linda and Jim

Summary: Bed was comfy. Husband loves the plush towels. Well appointed kitchen. Even parking was not the challenge we thought it was going to be probably due to the gloomy weather.
Chelsey A. Jun 5, 2024 02:29:02 AM
Summary: This beach cottage was everything we could have ever wanted (and it’s even cuter in person)! You can tell the owner is very thoughtful in how they stock and furnish the place. We instantly felt at home. The location was ideal too! A quick walk to the coffee shop (great coffee btw), grocery store, or the beach! Overall a lovely stay and we hope to come back one day.
