Agate is the only street on the island with a children's climbing gym and basketball court.

For those interested in seeing more of the Orange County coastline, Laguna Beach lies only 7 miles further down the Pacific Coast Highway. Originally an artist's colony, Laguna hosts the Pageant of the Masters and Sawdust Festival in the summer, art galleries, and fine dining and shopping along with wonderful beaches with tide pools.

Summary: Our stay was not what I hoped for. I had pretty high expectations for this property for the price per night and location. Unfortunately I wasn’t impressed. There was black mold on the baseboards in the main restroom upstairs, and the cockroaches on the property were disgusting. We were visited by large cockroach on the COUCH our first night and spider on the second. I suggest an exterminator and a deep cleaning. The water pressure in the upstairs shower is so high it is unpleasant - and almost painful. The bathtub stopper leaks so the water slowly drains which makes giving your kids a bath very difficult. In addition, the towels provided smelled like they hadn’t been washed. Definitely not the fresh clean towel you hope for after leaving a torturous needle shower.

Summary: I loved the proximity to the beach and shops. Nice and cozy. The only issues was the power was off for a couple of hours on separate days and the upstairs TV was not working. I would recommend this place and would definitely stay again. Loved it

Summary: Unfortunately, from the description and pictures, we thought the hiuse was right on beach front. But still close enough to walk to and enjoy. We needed more T.P., so i went to corner store to buy a couple rolls, the next thing i knew, there was a box of toilet paper sirting at the front door. Not sure how they knew that... ?? We had a great time. I was there visiting with a friend that is not supposed to make it much longer. She loves the beach, so this stay was almost perfect! Great memories. Thanks again!

Summary: This location was prime. My only gripe is the fact that the bunk beds upstairs messed up my back for a week. I recommend bringing an air mattress just for better sleep. Toilet Paper also need stocking but it was not verbal a pleasurable stay.
