Beautiful Ocean View! Steps to Sand! Private Home with 3 Car Driveway!
Laguna Vista is a truly outstanding beach villa situated in a remarkable mid-Laguna setting. The property is perched directly above Cress Beach and is elegantly gated for an exclusive vacation experience. The sounds of dramatic crashing waves mix with alluring ocean breezes to delight the senses while relaxing inside or out. This luxurious and posh modern-day cottage features 3 bedrooms and 2-1/2 bathrooms in approximately 1400 square feet. Laguna Vista is charmingly upscale – a graceful home-away-from-home with luxurious custom finishes, warm contemporary décor and thoughtful attention to detail at every turn.
The Laguna Vista cottage exudes an upscale European feel with dark wood accents, impeccable craftsmanship and contemporary designer décor. Gorgeous flooring flows through the villa in a mix of uniquely sculptured French limestone and wide plank French Oak imported from the Netherlands. Classic touches such as crown molding and extra tall baseboards provide a rich feel, as do the custom window coverings and plush furnishings.
Laguna Vista boasts an amazing gourmet kitchen, where family and friends are certain to gather and linger. Anchored by a large granite-topped island with 5 barstools and room for dining, this kitchen appeals to chefs and casual cooks alike. The upscale space is equipped with high-end stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, recessed lighting, wine storage and ample marble counter tops. Every tool necessary to cook up a wonderful feast is supplied in this gourmet’s dream kitchen.
The open floorplan of Laguna Vista effortlessly blends the kitchen space into the adjacent living area, enhancing relaxation and social interaction. A stunning hand-tiled fireplace is central to the living room and provides warmth no matter the season. This stylish and refined living area features a large flat screen TV with DVD player, a cozy sofa and several chairs to accommodate the whole family or group. Just off the living room is a large den/bedroom which affords some of the best ocean views around. A Hemingway-style desk provides a comfortable area for using the provided personal computer and complimentary wireless internet access is also available. The den/bedroom features a queen-size Hancock and Moore leather sofa sleeper – a brand well known for its exceptional construction and exceedingly comfortable bed. Sliding glass doors ensure privacy in the den, plus peace and quiet when bedtime arrives.
Laguna Vista’s spacious master bedroom is elegantly appointed and includes a luxurious queen size bed featuring a top of the line air-loom pillow top mattress which guarantees a plush and supremely comfortable night’s sleep. The sound of crashing waves additionally contributes to a restful slumber. The en-suite master bathroom has a step down entering into it, is equally lavish, featuring a full size tub/shower combo, marble counters and superb lighting. The villa’s third bedroom is also a step down to go into the bedroom, has an air-loom pillow top mattress and plenty of storage space. An additional bathroom and a powder room/half-bath are included, both featuring spa-like touches, imported tilework and modern fixtures.
Just outside Laguna Vista’s front door, guests will delight in the large courtyard. This thoughtfully planned space features several fire pits (one for each rental) and a tiered conversation area to help make the most of evenings outdoors. A gas barbecue is available for guest’s use as well as an outdoor hot and cold shower - which comes in handy after a long day on the beach. Beach access is conveniently located right in front of the villa, via the public staircase leading down to Cress Beach. Beach chairs, umbrella and towels are all included with the rental, as are the bed linens, kitchen and bath towels. A GE washer & dryer can be found inside the home and for maximum convenience, guests are allowed to park 2 vehicles in the home’s secured driveway parking area. In a prime Laguna Beach locale such as Cress Street, this is an invaluable asset. Spacious and elegant, Laguna Vista provides a chic and luxurious upscale accommodation for your beach adventures.

Clean, welcoming home. Easy parking and walkability to beach and downtown. Appreciated plenty of beach toys, umbrella and chairs. Able to shower outside. AC worked well. Provided both inside and beach towels. Disappointed fire pits not working and not told until check in. Office pullout couch is old and maybe only fit for a young child to sleep - otherwise thin, broken, slanted and not really usable for real sleep.

Great Spot for Our Family and Kids!
Being so close to the beach and a tub for the kids, not to mention the outdoor shower and foot rinse available before stepping into the house was really advantageous. Also enjoyed the fire pit at night while the kids were asleep which was close enough to hear if they woke up/needed anything.

Host was rude to my friend when she simply asked him if she could put her suitcase in the room before the check-in time so she wouldn’t have to haul it around with her for 2 hours. (She Uber’d to the house)

Best Location in Laguna
This location was amazing! We would not have wanted to have been closer to the Main Beach and felt like the restaurants and shopping were perfect. We did walk to the Main Beach area one day and it took us about 15-20 minutes without stops. There is also a free trolley you can take. We loved the gated parking and dedicated parking spaces. There are so many hidden gems in this area. We recommend Treasure Island, Goff Cove, Victoria Beach, and Thousand Steps Beach. When the tide is low, you can go down the steps at Cress Beach, turn left, and walk to a fun arch/tunnel and on to some cool tide pools. We even saw whales!The only thing I didn't realize until I read another review was that one of the beds in the listing is a pull-out couch. It is in its own space but the mattress isn't the best. My kids "drew straws" for that one, but were glad to each have closed off spaces, nonetheless. The house was clean and the firepit started up easily.

We had a fantastic time even if the weather didn't cooperate. Beach is steps away, tide pools and nearby arch were a hit w the kids. Didn't mind spending time indoors on a rainy day.

Amazing location!
This home could not have been located in a better spot. It is right next to the beach and walkable distance from all our favorite restaurants. There is great parking (so rare in Laguna) and it is quiet and feels safe at night. We did have two issues.1. We traveled with children and the main TV in the living room was very difficult and slow. We struggled getting any streaming apps to work and once they were up and running they were very slow and glitchy.2. The third bedroom (which is an office with a pull-out sofa) has THE worst bed we have ever had a VRBO experience with. It is completely sunken where your head is so the person sleeping on it has their feet completely elevated. If it weren't for the bed we would have rated it 5 stars. But beyond those things - it was clean ans exactly what we were looking for. I would stay again for sure.

Amazing location
First let me say the location and parking for this Villa is outstanding, the interior is a little dated, the areas rugs could use a deep cleaning or replacement, if you are planning to use the 3rd bedroom/office sleeper couch, bring a air mattress its not sustainable for adult's to sleep on, I read some reviews about this and thank goodness we brought a air mattress. The primary bedroom also has a very very firm mattress, I was uncomfortable, but some like that. The outdoor seating and fire pit were amazing. Great supply of beach chairs, one umbrella and a beach blanket. If you are staying for more than a couple days there were no good cleaning supplies, dish rags or sponges or a broom and dustpan, maybe I should have requested them, but in my experience with other properties these things are always on hand. There were ample amout of hotel style bath towels, wash cloths and hand towels.

Location, location, location! The apartment (cottage is more like it) is at the top of the steps to the beach. The apartment is nicely furnished in an italianate style. Reasonably spacious. 2 BR plus a study with a hideabed. 2 and 1/2 baths. There were 5 of us and we fit comfortably. We had stayed before in another of the units. This is much more comfortable though with a little less of a view. AND it has convenient parking for 2 or even 3 cars (a precious commodity in LB. Derek was very helpful.

Great location and very clean
This wasn’t our first time in Laguna, but our first stay at this property. The location was great. Within walking distance to restaurants and shops and stairs right outside that go down to the beach. They had plenty of sand toys for the kids and beach chairs as well. The property manager Denise was very communicative. I would recommend this property.
