About this property

The Red Cottage-Manzanita Cottages

Your Own Private Cottage Nestled in a Secluded Garden Compound

This fully restored and renovated cottage is nestled in a private garden compound within a short walk to the village and Main Beach. The cottage has been carefully furnished to meet the needs of discerning traveler's seeking an alternative to hotel lodging.

We have selected very fine art work along with hand crafted furniture to reflect the character and charm of the original art colony of Laguna. The bathroom and kitchen was completely renovated in order to upgrade the facilities and appliances to provide maximum comfort.

Our guests especially enjoy the freedom of walking to virtually all the major attractions in and around Laguna Beach. When they return at the end of the day, they pass through the old wooden gate, walk down the steps into this remarkable garden setting.

We guarantee you will love it here!

Idyllic, cozy cottage

This was an absolutely perfect weekend getaway. Utterly charming, meticulously clean and well cared for, we didn’t want to leave. Sean was a fantastic host, we will definitely be back!

Lovely cottage

Lovely old group of cottages and beautiful gardens close to the village of Laguna Beach. Just a small warning to older people—there are steep steps down to the cottages. It’s not easy to lug your suitcase down and up

Exactly as expected

If you were looking for a charm and old world style, this is a terrific option. It’s a small group of cottages with a ton of privacy. Relatively peaceful. Everything worked as expected and felt as expected inside the unit. I would say the only not perfect part was that the air conditioning unit in the living room really did not keep up. The one in the bedroom did well because that was a smaller space. If you’re looking to walk to the main part of town, you can do so from these cottages but keep in mind that Laguna is pretty hilly so it’s not a super easy flat walk. I would stay again for sure.

Magical cottage

Laguna Beach is a special place and this cottage is the perfect way to experience Laguna’s magic. The details in the cottage take you back in time and give you the vibes of old Hollywood on vacation, but with air conditioning if you need it. We will be back for another stay for sure. We are even going to encourage our friends to join as they can rent one of the 4 cottages on site. It’s simply perfect.

Sweet Casita close to town

Sweet Casita close to town.. Great place to hang out if you don't want to deal with crowds. Quiet courtyard and a parking space. The bathroom is through the bedroom which is why I couldn't have friend stay in pull out couch in living room, but fine for families that don't mind. I would stay here again.

Life is a ticket to the greatest show on earth.

Charming, wish I would've booked another week. Gardens are beautiful and well kept. Cottages are adorable. One of those places that you wished the walls could talk.

Couldn't be more romantic.

This has to be the most charming little collection of five or six cottages. Nice living room with fireplace. Good size closet so clothes and suitcases get put out of the way. Yes the bathroom is small, but its part of the charm. Five or six block walk to town.

Good experience

Property was very quaint, cottage was nice but bathroom is very small and the whole place was a bit musty and had some cobwebs and dust. That said, the cottage suited our needs with a good location for a reasonable price in Laguna. No instructions for how to work the not-so-straightforward heater and fireplace but property manager was very responsive.

Great Place

This place is great: Beautiful, quiet, close to the village. The grounds are charming, and the space itself is small, cozy, and comfortable. We booked pretty last-minute, so the place was maybe pricier than we would have liked. Also, a small thing, but there's a toaster oven, a microwave, and some burners in the kitchen, but not a bigger, conventional oven. Those quibbles aside, we plan on staying here again in the future.

Charming, cozy, comfortable

We were here during an atmospheric river—meaning lots of rain, so we very much enjoyed the fireplace. Manager was very responsive when we needed him. Simply delightful.

A beautiful hillside respite from the hustle and bustle of PCH and downtown Laguna Beach. You feel like you are in your own little beachside garden.
