Charming Manzanita Red Cottage near Beach & Village

Step through the old wooden gates and down the stairs to discover one of Laguna’s most remarkable hidden treasures. Here in this story-book setting four charming, old-world style cottages and a studio apartment accommodation are nestled amidst fragrant floral gardens reminiscent of early California. A whimsical wishing well in the center of the grassy courtyard adds special magic to this delightful and relaxing hideaway for couples looking for a romantic weekend getaway, family vacationers and business vagabonds. The cottage is tucked away in a historic Laguna Beach neighborhood. The cottages are close enough for a stroll to the beach, shops, restaurants, and galleries, yet far enough away from the activities of downtown Laguna. Laguna Beach has a cute trolly that is free to take all round the city. Runs Friday-Sunday. Uber, Lyft and taxis are also easy ways to get around if you don't want to walk. Built in 1927 by Hollywood film producer Harry Green, the cottages have been beautifully restored to reflect the charm of the original Laguna Beach art colony while offering the convenience and comfort of modern day amenities, lodging, and accommodations in Southern California. Each rental cottage has individually-selected furnishings and artwork.
