Ocean front property.
"Location was excellent and very roomy. It isn't as nice as the pictures, could use some TLC. We didn't realize the upstairs is rented out separately and the back yard is shared. Nice having ocean so close and had a seal playing in the water out front."

Great value. Very peaceful golf course view
"A very comfortable and affordable stay adjacent to Laguna Beach. A great outdoor patio overlooking El Niguel Country Club golf course which was a great spot for both morning coffee and winding down with some wine in the evening. Definitely recommend for a great value."
