About this property

Oceanfront retreat w/ AC & beach access

Step onto your oceanfront deck and let the Pacific do the rest - direct beach access, cozy fireplace, and sweeping ocean views await.

- Sleeps 6 | 2 bedrooms | 4 beds | 2 baths
- Direct access to Turks Beach via private stairs
- Ocean & beach views from private patio & balcony
- AC, indoor fireplace & dedicated workspace
- Fully equipped kitchen & dining for 6
- Pet-friendly (non-shedding dogs considered w/ fee)

Step onto your deck and let the Pacific fill your view - this oceanfront townhouse in Laguna Beach puts you directly above Turks Beach, where the rhythm of the waves sets the pace from morning to night. With private stairs leading straight to the sand and sweeping ocean and beach views from your patio and balcony, the coast is never more than a few steps away. Winter evenings invite you to gather around the indoor fireplace while the surf continues its quiet performance just beyond the windows.

Living spaces
Inside, a welcoming living room with a sectional sofa and TV anchors the main floor. Wifi, an Ethernet connection, and a dedicated workspace make remote work easy whenever needed. Central heating, air conditioning, a ceiling fan, and an indoor fireplace keep the home comfortable across every season. A washer and dryer are available for added convenience throughout your stay.

Sleeping arrangements
The home sleeps up to 6 guests. Bedroom 1 features a king bed. The loft includes 2 full beds and a couch, offering a flexible arrangement for additional guests. A detached studio - located on the deck of Unit A - provides a king bed and 1 bath with toilet and shower, with 7-foot ceilings. It works especially well for kids or teenagers, with a maximum occupancy of 2. Bed linens, extra pillows and blankets, clothing storage, and essentials are all provided. This townhouse (Unit A) puts you closer to the California coast than most people ever get.

Kitchen and dining
The fully equipped kitchen includes a refrigerator, microwave, stove, oven, dishwasher, coffee maker, toaster, blender, baking sheet, wine glasses, dishes and silverware, and a dining table that seats 6. A spice rack, salt, and pepper are provided. Please note: no other cooking essentials or supplies are included - such as oil, sprays, other cooking ingredients, foil, or cling wrap.

Outdoor living
Private stairs from the home lead directly to Turks Beach, situated between 1000 Steps and Table Rock. Beach essentials and beach towels are provided - please bring your own beach toys, chairs, and umbrellas. The private patio and balcony offer outdoor dining and a front-row seat to the ocean at any hour. Free parking on premises is available with designated spaces for Unit A and a maximum of 3 cars, plus free street parking nearby.

Additional features
Self check-in via smart lock ensures a smooth, keyless arrival - your access code is unique to each reservation. The home includes bathroom essentials, a hair dryer, a crib and pack `n play available upon request, and home safety features including a smoke alarm, carbon monoxide alarm, fire extinguisher, and an exterior front door security camera. Long-term stays of 28 days or more are welcome.

Check-in is after 4PM and check-out is at 11AM. There is no extra fee for early check-in or late check-out (if we can accommodate your request, we most certainly will). Cleaning is performed at the end of your stay - a mid-week or mid-stay clean can be provided for an additional fee. Our home has noise limit requirements set by the HOA. Pet-friendly - no cats; certain non-shedding hypoallergenic dogs will be considered at an additional fee.

Our homes are keyless entry - we issue a code rather than a physical key. The code changes for every reservation, making it an incredibly safe alternative. By issuing the code prior to arrival, the check-in process is much easier.

We do not recommend shipping directly to the home. We do not have mailbox keys, and there are many different people with access to the home: vendors, housekeeping, Guest Services staff, etc. We cannot be responsible for packages once delivered.

Please call or TEXT on your phone keypad the letters ZIZ LED BAGS on your phone keypad to speak with me direct.

Note:
This is a side by side unit and if staying in Unit B you will need to access the beach through Unit A porch (not very intrusive at all).
We highly recommend travel insurance for any unforeseen circumstances. Our cancellation policies are firm.

South Laguna getaway

The accommodations are like a rustic beach cottage. Location is excellent! Being right in the beach, which was quiet and private, was the best part. We were a family of 4 with grown (over 21) kids and it works well for our needs. Host was very responsive to all questions and attended to all requests in a timely manner.

Great location and amazing private beach

We were back visiting friends in an area we used to live. The house was in a perfect location to get to where we needed to go while enjoying Laguna Beach. The house was exactly as described. It had everything we needed. We had so much fun exploring the private beach! Would definitely stay again.

Amazing location!

The location of this home was incredible- Right on the beach with beautiful views (I have the best photos!) and access to what felt like a private cove. It was fun to spot dolphins swimming by. We enjoyed the easy walk to a few nearby restaurants (Papa's Tacos, NEApolitan Pizza, Coyote Grill) and a donut shop (South Swell Donuts).

Second Stay

We had an amazing second stay at this VRBO property! Communication with the rental property owner was great. The beach access is unbeatable, and we loved having beach towels and toys readily available. The kitchen is well-stocked, making meal prep a breeze, and the new ping pong table added extra fun to our evenings. Highly recommend this place.

Steps to sand

Stay was as expected. Everyday trips to the sand and rides in the Trolley into town. The location is perfect and on one of the more private beaches of Laguna.

Amazing location

Michael was super quick on communication and made sure we were set up with everything we needed. The property was well kept and tidy, beds were comfortable. The property is amazing for the fairly quiet beach — there’s still access to and from Thousand Steps which is adjacent. Would definitely come back again!

The views from the kitchen, living room, middle and lower decks are amazing. We even saw whales going north from our viewpoint on the deck. The access beach is clean and peaceful. The main bedroom king bed and bedding was very comfortable - fresh and clean. We slept to the sound of ocean waves. We enjoyed our stay.

It got better . First impression was not the greatest as our unit A was very hot. Some window treatment could make a huge difference when the sun comes in the afternoon . Loved the access to the beach and views. A few improvements could make this a 5 star rental.

Perfect beach vacation getaway home.

What a spectacular location! Located between 1000 Steps Beach and Aliso Beach (two popular beaches), this home has access to a cove that makes it feel like a private, exclusive beach. Home has private access to the beach down a set of stairs. They included beach chairs and sandcastle building tools for the kiddos that made enjoying the beach instant instead of trying to track everything down. If you're not up for so much sand, the patio has great seating and space to enjoy the view and amazing weather. We'll rebook!
