Great Home Base

Tara’s place is great! Comfortable, nicely appointed, with everything you need. The outdoor space and the hot tub are both a bonus. The best part was the location. We walked to so many areas of Laguna Beach, and exploring the Orange County coast was easy with this place as our home base. Great access to Crystal Cove and a ton of beaches.

Laguna Beach Getaway

My wife and I love Laguna Beach. We were so blessed to be able stay here and it was so nice and amazing. It’s such a warm and welcoming feel. We loved how open and bright it feels during the day. Then at night it’s cozy and romantic. We will stay here again for sure.

Laguna Beach -what a great place

We were travelling from overseas and wanted more than a hotel room. The owner presented the place in a 5 star way, it felt large and was very private. Downtown was a block away and the beach was so close, easy walking distance. If you are heading to Laguna Beach you should book this place…highly rated

Relaxing Anniversary Stay!

This was our second time staying at Tara’s property. It is the perfect location in Laguna - a quick walk down to the beach, and there’s also a trolley stop right across the street as well. Tara’s home is welcoming and comfortable, and we enjoyed our stay once again!

Post-Conference Getaway

After concluding a conference in San Diego, my husband and I drove up the coast for a few nights in Laguna Beach before returning back to the East Coast. Tara’s place was perfect for us and she is a lovely and accommodating hostess! It was super clean, comfortable, quiet and well-appointed, inside and out. Great location, easy to find and just a short walk to town and the beach. It was so fun to immerse ourselves in the community for a few days.It is attached to the main house, but still very private. And the jacuzzi was such a treat, a relaxing way to end the day. We would stay here again and would definitely recommend it!

Great 3- Day Weekend

The location can't be beat. Even though we had a rental car we walked most places. Keep in mind that there are some steep stairs going from the driveway to the entrance of the apartment. The hot tub was wonderful and the neighborhood was quiet.

Amazing place!!

Everything about this property is just lovely, starting with the beautiful plantings and peaceful waterfall. The space has so much natural light and gorgeous views outside the many windows. Super cozy spaces to sit and the bed was very comfortable. The kitchen had everything you’d need. And the location couldn’t be better, a short walk to the town and beach. Tara is so nice and helpful and made sure I had everything I needed. Will definitely stay again!

Clean, comfortable, and roomy. Beautiful back yard area gets morning sun. Location is perfect-- short walk to beach and free trolley. Tara provided very nice touches- some snacks, Keurig cups already there, beyond salt&pepper for spices, olive oil, sugar.

Nice property with great location

My wife and myself really enjoyed our stay in this property. It is very well equipped if you want to cook at the place. The backyard sitting area is amazing! The hosts are great as far as communication goes. The location is great as well, just a short walk to downtown are and the grocery store (Whole Foods). One little thing, the apartment is a bit small for a group larger than 2 which is hard to see from the pictures, so it was a bit tight when our daughter came to join us for a day. However it was quite adequate for us two

Glorious!

Our stay was perfect! If you don't already know, you really don't need a car. Everything is walking distance from this place. Short walking distance to the beach while carrying beach provisions which includes Tommy Bahama beach chairs, umbrella and very nice beach towels. After enjoying a nice dinner out, we loved returning to our very private and oh so comfortable hot tub and yard complete with and soft water fountain that lulls you to sleep. Don't pass this place up.

Pros and cons

Pros; The unit itself is adorable, and they have done their best to make it somewhat suitable for a couple. Cons; If you are 6’2 even in shape bring your shin guards as for the low set furniture, Hobbit land. Pro; The off street parking is a plus, and they are not asking too much as far as parking to the right as far as you can. Cons; By doing this, make sure you come with a backpack and purse as it blocks the extremely narrow over 20 step up entry with plantation not trimmed properly. Pro; The trolley is just down the street and the location is somewhat decent. Con; “a block from the beach” is literally a “stretch” it is all the way down Broadway which is quite far. Pro; The setup is small yet feasible if you plan on not unpacking. Con; The pictures make this unit look much larger than it is, and is very unsafe around the jacuzzi to where it drops off and there is no railing. Con; Showing up we could not use the code as others have specified. We had to use a reserve key, which made us uncomfortable that self admission by the owner the door sticks sometimes, The owner seemed irritated by this. Remember when booking what fees you are paying for. Walking up and down the stairway to dispose of your trash as long as it is not excessive is ridiculous. Pro; The landscape is nice. I would recommend this to a business person, however bring AirPods for the road noise, and unexpected non-privacy by the city. From previous responses she’s a bit stand-offish and was condescending.
