5 Bedroom House in South Laguna, Laguna Beach

Gated Oceanfront Home with “Wow Factor” Views and a Private Staircase to its own Private Beach
Note: I just completed an exterior renovation over the last 6 months. The garden has John Watson moonlighting which was converted to LED moonlight. Video to the street side gate with electronic door release. Exterior of the home repainted. Garden has had extensive work. I am the third owner and was the Landscape Architect on the property in 1979. In 1979 the home and site went through an extensive update by the previous owner who was an Architect. Upgrades to the home as well. This is a private home with all the collections and art intact. Its staying in an owner quality property. It has a fully insulated roof. It appears to be a charmer but it is a fully functioning updated home. The banded furniture is original to the 1940 owner and passed down through the other two owners. The banded furniture came from her Hawaiian Home
This classic charming beach house is located in prestigious South Laguna within the City of Laguna Beach midway between the Montage Hotel and Resort and the Ritz Carlton. With expansive views of the coastline and Catalina Island from almost every room, the home has its own steps that lead down to a private roped-off section of a spectacular, and relatively secluded, sandy beach, known as Thousand Steps Beach. It also has a private air conditioned cabana on the beach stocked with beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, toys, boogie boards, and even a bar refrigerator w separate freezer that you can fill with chilled beverages and supplies for dining al fresco by the crashing waves. (public beaches in Orange County prohibit alcohol on the beach, but this prohibition does not apply to our private beach, so you are free to sip a bottle of your favorite wine while sitting on the sand, watching the sunset). Thousand Steps Beach is famous for surfing, skim boarding, and volleyball, as well as swimming and sun bathing. There are numerous tide pools to explore and a sea cave that marks the entrance to Secret Cove. In the summer, lifeguards are stationed on the beach. There is a public restroom down the cove.
The home, which was featured in Coastal Living Magazine,”Going to Hawaii without the plane ride” is perfect for entertaining because it has three separate living areas. The first area is the main house, situated off a lushly-landscaped courtyard with potted plants and an historic Malibu-tile fountain. It features beamed ceilings, wide-plank Douglas Fir hardwood floors, and two working fireplaces. A spacious great room, fully-stocked kitchen, dining alcove, lanai, and powder room are located at the entrance level of the house. Walk down one flight, and you’ll find a master suite that has a seating area and an en-suite bathroom with a soaking tub. This level also has a guest bedroom with a queen bed and en-suite bath. Both bedrooms have beautiful ocean views.
The second living area is an ocean-view guest suite with a king bed, seating area, fireplace, tiki bar, kitchenette, and bath with shower. Adjacent to this guest suite is a large wooden deck topped by a Jacuzzi spa, lounge chairs, propane BBQ, dining table and chairs, and an outdoor hot-water shower so you can rinse off after swimming.
The third living area, above the main house, is a guesthouse that has a seating area, a recessed king bed, a full bathroom, and a bedroom with a full-sized bed. This guest house has ocean views and is air conditioned.
The entire house has zoned air conditioning (a rare commodity in ocean front houses in Laguna Beach) wireless internet, cable television, flat screen TVs, Blu Ray & DVD player, a music system, and a professional Wolf gas range. Weekly maid service is included in the rent.
This is a very private residence. At street level, only the two-car garage, the parking deck, and the secured entrance gate are visible. Parking is available for four cars. The staircase to the sand is accessed through locked gates.
Located minutes from downtown Laguna Beach, there is a trolley stop across the street. Trolleys are free and run approximately every 20 minutes, so you can leave the car at home. Several excellent restaurants are within walking distance.
Laguna Beach is a charming city located on the Pacific Coast, midway between Los Angeles and San Diego. Because of this location, it has ideal weather all year long, and has been a year round retreat for art lovers, nature enthusiasts, and beach goers. Since its founding in 1887, Laguna Beach has been art colony. It now hosts the Sawdust Festival, Festival of the Arts, and Pageant of the Masters. It is a family-friendly town, located within a reasonable drive to Southern California's theme parks, including Disneyland, Knotts Berry Farm, Legoland, Seaworld, and Universal Studios.

Summary: Truly wonderful period house overlooking Thousand steps beach. A daily step workout down the private access to the sandy beach. The evening sunsets were amazing with the sun setting behind Catalina Island. The house is tastefully decorated with a blue marine theme. A gourmet kitchen provided ample appliances with a Wolf range. The sun room had direct views along the whole stretch of the beach to gaze at the surf or watch the sunsets in the evening. A tremendous house to rest and enjoy some peace and quiet.

Summary: This was an outstanding property for our family. Some are in CA, some came from IN, two from the East Coast and 2 from Ecuador. The beach is spectacular, the waves soporific! There are good public tennis courts and walking and hiking options in Laguna. The kitchen and grills accommodated our cooks. Parking is a challenge but we managed. Property manager very attentive. A really lovely place.

Summary: Oh, how we miss Laguna Beach already! This home is an absolute treasure. The owners are lovely and made everything about our stay perfect. The home has the most amazing view, complete privacy, and is very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. Thousand Steps beach is amazing! Less crowded than other Laguna beaches, and very picturesque. I wouldn’t hesitate to book this home again. We loved every minute! Thank you for a lovely stay.

Summary: We have stayed in many rental houses in Laguna and none of them compare or are as special as this one. The owners could not have been kinder and more gracious to our family. The property is immaculate and if you love to cook this is the home to be in. The kitchen is equipped like a home not like a rental. We loved everything about this property from beginning to end!

Summary: An exquisite property. Anything one would need has been anticipated and provided. If it hasn't, the owners respond immediately. The location couldn't be better--close enough to both Dana Point and Main Beach in Laguna to visit either with ease, far enough away to feel secluded from the weekend crowds if that's you're thing. Best vacation home I've ever rented.

Summary: What a wonderful homely house in a brilliant location. The pictures do not do this home justice from the moment you walk in you feel comfortable and captivated by the views. The beds are very comfortable and the location amazing, simply walk down the stairs and you are on one of California’s best kept secrets, “1000 steps beach” not busy just beautiful. Our hosts were welcoming and thoughtful. We had a fabulous time and thoroughly recommend this home

Summary: This is the best beach house we ever rented by far. As soon as you close the gate, you enter another world. Close to everything you would want in Laguna, yet private. Once we didn’t leave for 3 days and then only for groceries. The views from the main house are 5 star and the separate rooms below the garage and house are perfect for visitors, while maintaining your own privacy. The beach never gets crowded. If you just want to relax, take a swim in the ocean, enjoy the views and sunsets, this place can’t be beat. Well furnished and fully equipped.

Summary: I greatly enjoyed my stay in this beautiful home. It has what I would consider a classic beach cottage style with all of the modern comforts. As soon as I walked through the gate and down steps to the entry courtyard, I knew I had found a wonderful place to escape and relax. There are lots of great places to curl up with a good book, but I think my favorite place for this was the secret garden at the foot of the cliff and just a few steps up from the private beach. Throughout the house, you have beautiful views of the beach and the ocean. The description the owners give of the house is very accurate. I definitely would enjoy staying here again, and I am happy to recommend it.

Summary: We had a great time there, enjoying the ambiance. The views from the lanai were ever changing with the ocean panorama. Walking on the beautiful beach, walking to the restaurants, just relaxing on the lanai , all was handy and delightful. The fully equipped kitchen was a plus for our family. Certain will be returning there every year if possible.
