The Yellow Cottage-Manzanita Cottages

Your Own Private Cottage Nestled in a Secluded Garden Compound

This fully restored and renovated cottage is nestled in a private garden compound within a short walk to the village and Main Beach. The cottage has been carefully furnished to meet the needs of discerning traveler's seeking an alternative to hotel lodging.

We have selected very fine art work along with hand crafted furniture to reflect the character and charm of the original art colony of Laguna. The bathroom and kitchen was completely renovated in order to upgrade the facilities and appliances to provide maximum comfort.

Our guests especially enjoy the freedom of walking to virtually all the major attractions in and around Laguna Beach. When they return at the end of the day, they pass through the old wooden gate, walk down the steps into this remarkable garden setting.

We guarantee you will love it here!

Enjoyable

Our stay was enjoyable & the place is cute & comfy. Bed & pillows were super! There were a few things not working. The ceiling fan in the master did not work & the fan they had in the closet was filled with dust & spider webs, the air conditioner worked great but I live in Vegas & wanted fresh air moving around. Couldn’t really leave windows open as the screen are shot & we had bugs come into the bedroom the second night. The garbage disposal did not work & wish I would of tried it before I put food waste in it. The owner did get back with me & apologized for the oversight. Nice place but needs some repairs & deep cleaning.

Manzanita Cottages = Storybook Setting

The cottages are adorable - quaint, historic, iconic and nestled into their own little private community in the heart of Laguna Beach. We stayed in the charming yellow cottage and we literally felt like we were living in a storybook - gnome hats not included. :). If you are expecting pristine and modern, change your expectations before you go. While the cottage itself was very clean and decorated brightly with cute furnishings and colors, if you take a closer look it is easy to see how in need of TLC this property really is. There were cobwebs in the corners, window tracks were filthy, screens don’t fit properly, curtain racks and fixtures are hung carelessly and crooked on the walls, walls have numerous cracks, etc. The grounds outside also need some attention - just general lawn and landscaping grooming would make a world of difference. I would have loved if someone could have moved the creepy life sized deer figurine that was randomly tossed in the little “alley” our bedroom window looked out to. Why someone who owns a property as adorable as this would just “let it go” is beyond me. With a little time and attention this could be a 5 star place. But because of these issues I give it 3 stars. Also of note is that our A/C wasn’t working when we checked into our cottage - during a heatwave I might add. We were able to reach the property manager/owner promptly and he summoned repair people who were able to get the issue fixed the following day. Neil was as accommodating as he could be and gave us use of the studio apartment (also on the same property) for the first night of our stay. While definitely inconvenient to not be able to “move in” and unpack/get organize until the second day of our short 3 day visit, we understand that these things happen. Of note - there is a coffee maker and blow dryer in the cottage - kitchen has what you need for light meals, etc. There is no oven but there is a microwave and toaster oven. There is a laundry room on the premises as well with one washer/dryer to share. Overall a quality stay. We did love the location as it was just a short walk to the beach and Laguna shopping as well as nightlife.

Lovely cottage very well equipped.

Beautiful property and we loved our little cottage. We had everything we needed and enjoyed the charm of the home, the nice outdoor amenities and location. We walked into town morning and night getting a good hill workout in the process. Only thing challenging was getting luggage down the steps into the property thru the big wooden doors. Otherwise the place is delightful in every sense of the word! Highly recommend!
