About this property

Laguna Beach Gem with Amazing View

This unique Laguna home is set on a beautiful half acre that backs up to a gorgeous pristine canyon. The house, built behind high walls, has a gated entry that opens into a quiet, secluded garden.

The kitchen, with it's granite island and six burner gas range, is a cook's paradise. We've outfitted our kitchen with the finest knives, cookware and dishes. The bar on one side of the granite island is the perfect place to sip morning coffee while watching the news on the flat screen TV at the end of the kitchen.

Both the master bedroom and first guest room have king sized beds. The third bedroom is a queen.

We stock beach equipment for our tenants, chairs, beach bags, towels, umbrellas and children's toys.


The house is light filled and airy with beautiful views in every direction. Look to the canyon and down to the sea or turn back to gaze at the flower filled garden courtyard with its bird bath and giant birds of paradise.

Alta Laguna Park is just up the hill from the house. There are six public tennis courts, biking and hiking trails, a baseball park, basketball courts and a terrific children's playground.

Our home offers the peace of a retreat but is only minutes away from downtown Laguna and the beaches.

Our SoCal Summer Beach Getaway
These 5 weeks went by way too fast, but what a place to enjoy yourselves. Location was just perfect for everything we wanted to do; Alfresco dining at a myriad of venues, coastal living, views for ever, hiking/walking trails, etc. The property was fully provisioned, you had everything you possibly could need. We loved it!!!!

House was very comfortable with everything you would need to enjoy your vacation.
The courtyard was very private with beautiful wicker furniture. The view of the ocean and canyon was scenic from the bedrooms, dining room and living room.The style of the home is eclectic and very comfortable. The deck off the dining room and one of the bedrooms was nice to relax on and just chill out. Wendy, the owner, was available at all times to assist with any problems that occurred. The home also included things for the beach. I can't think of anything you would need to bring other than your clothes. .

The perfect home away from home!
I almost hate to leave a review because we don't want to give away this hidden gem :) -- We absolutely loved this home! It had everything you could want in a rental. The house felt extremely homey and having a full, beautiful kitchen was great! One of our favorite things was spending time in the front courtyard, it was a wonderful little oasis. The house has a great energy. We traveled with our two dogs who also loved this property. The backyard was perfect for them. Wendy couldn't have been more of a pleasure to stay in contact with. The house is just far away enough from the hustle and bustle of town but close enough to get there in a few minutes. And we loved being so close to Alta Laguna/Top of the World park for some great hikes, views and sports. Honestly, we have no negative comments or areas of improvement! It's obvious to say we will definitely be returning in the near future! :)

About the host

Hosted by Wendy Gildea

Host profile image
I grew up in Laguna. My family has been in Laguna for over a hundred years. This was my mother's beloved home, designed and built by my architect brother in 1974. We live in Oregon most of the year where my husband has a practice.

Why they chose this property

When we inherited this property it seemed wise to sell but first we needed to remove the thirty year old green shag carpet, the green pebbled vinyl flooring, the flocked wallpaper and 25 shell collages adorning the walls. Once this was done an incredibly beautiful house emerged. Our next goal was to regain the view. We negotiated with our neighbor to trim his trees and removed the inner courtyard jungle, planting grass with flower boarders to create a quiet garden for our guests. And we fell in love with the house and couldn't part with it even though we're not able to visit very often.
