Serenity in the Hills - A Chic Coastal Apartment with Balcony & Ocean Glimpses
Looking for a serene sanctuary to recharge, write, or simply breathe again?
Whether you’re between homes, on an extended business stay, or craving a coastal retreat to realign, Serenity in the Hills offers a chic, designer hideaway where calm meets coastal charm.
Tucked among the lush, rolling hills of Laguna Beach, this beautifully furnished one-bedroom studio blends boutique comfort with effortless California living. Enjoy a peekaboo ocean view and a private balcony framed by greenery — the perfect spot to sip your morning coffee or unwind with a glass of wine as the coastal breeze drifts in.
Inside, soothing details invite you to slow down — from the spa-style bathroom and walk-in closet with generous storage, to the cozy living space layered in calming neutrals and coastal blues.
The kitchenette is thoughtfully equipped for easy meals (without the guilt if you’d rather dine out every night!). A private entrance and dedicated garage make parking simple and secure.
Attached to the owner’s residence yet entirely private, this peaceful retreat offers all the comforts of home without the hassle. Open the Dutch door, let the ocean air flow in, and feel the day’s tension melt away.

About the host
Hosted by Bree Cox
I’m Bree — a Laguna Beach local who loves creating calm, inspiring spaces where people can truly recharge. I believe that travel should feel like coming home, and hosting gives me the joy of helping guests slow down, reconnect, and breathe a little deeper.
I share the property with my two Ragdoll cats, Spencer and Grace, who take their job as quiet companions very seriously. They’re friendly but tend to keep to themselves, usually sunbathing or birdwatching from their favorite windows.
When I’m not filming for my wellness and lifestyle projects, you’ll find me walking the beach trails, rearranging flowers on the patio, or sipping tea while watching the sun dip into the Pacific. I take pride in maintaining a clean, beautiful space where every guest feels cared for and at ease.
We look forward to sharing a little Laguna serenity with you — Spencer, Grace, and I promise to make your stay as peaceful as the view.

Why they chose this property
Laguna Beach has a soul like nowhere else — it’s creative, coastal, and full of charm. I chose this hillside neighborhood because it captures the best of both worlds: the quiet serenity of nature and the energy of downtown just minutes away.
From this spot, you can wake up to the sound of birds, walk or drive to the beach in minutes, and still feel tucked away in my own little sanctuary above it all. The neighborhood is peaceful, safe, and surrounded by friendly locals who appreciate the beauty and rhythm of Laguna living.

Serenity in the Hills isn’t just a place to stay — it’s an experience designed to help you feel calm, inspired, and at home. Every detail, from the soft textures to the curated coastal palette, was chosen to reflect Laguna’s natural beauty.
