"The views were spectacular Food was not great but fine"

Laguna Cove Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room walking distance from the beach and 5 minutes away from restaurants"

Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was absolutely perfect and will make it an annual event! I’ll never book thru Expedia ever again! Awful!"

Laguna's Hidden Gem Penthouse 2 BEDROOMS, DEN, Oceanview..Quality Beds, 4 guests

8/10 Good

"This darling 2BR within a short walk to the beach and just south of downtown Laguna is as charming as the owners who do business in their art studio right next door. Bit and pieces of their creative eye are displayed thought the apartment, and their outdoor garden is quite magical, with a 3rd story aerie to enjoy an AM coffee or the sunset. This building is from the '40s so lodgers need to be respectful of the sensitive plumbing system and not flush any materials but toilet paper. Dedicated parking space 50 feet from the front door."

"Good location and the parking was very good."

Coastal NEWLY RENOVATED Condo in Dana Point. Walking distance to the Salt Creek!

OCEAN FRONT Beach HOUSE! Private stairs to SAND!

10/10 Excellent

"The views are spectacular and the beach is small and feels almost like a private beach. We spotted dolphins almost every day from the balcony. The home is beachy with great outdoor spaces. Our family loved the separate living quarters. The home was very clean and just as shown in the photos. Mike is an excellent host with quick replies to any questions. We look forward to staying again!"
