Lovely boutique, hotel, walking distance from beautiful Laguna Beach. Quaint and peaceful, decorated in minimalist surfer chic. Free of televisions, telephones, only the vintage record player and vinyl selection to enhance your stay. Small detailed touches like morning coffee delivered to your door add to the properties charm. The staff was so kind,I look forward to my next visit!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Beautiful and clean property and overall pretty good experience for a couple of nights. Our mattress was not very comfortable and likely needed to be replaced. It dipped in some parts. The pool was cold and definitely was not at 90 (nor even 80 or 70 degrees) temperature as advertised. More likely the pool temperature was in the 60s. Short walk to lovely Shaw’s Cove but there are limited spots to set your things up and it was very crowded.
