The property is a very short walk to the water. All of the staff were warm and welcoming. The aesthetics are really nice and not campy like other beach properties. They made my Christmas very nice with a sweet little gift under the tree.

Amazing Christmas gift :)

It was such a dream! This was a Christmas gift to myself due to being alone this year, and it was so special. Such an intimate environment, with extremely kind staff and amazing food and drink! They even gave me a sweet little Christmas gift and placed it under their Christmas tree. Altogether such a sweet experience, wish I could've stayed longer!

Hard to write a review of this property, the staff were genuinely lovely and extremely helpful, however the first night we were allocated a room to the front of the hotel, and due to noise we didn’t sleep at all. They gracefully allowed us to move when we raised the issue and the second room was much better. The rooms are a little tired. Furniture is a Laraine’s and walls need a re-paint, but they also have a lovely charm. Good location and beautiful beach. Having to pay a gratuity on the free breakfast everyday was a bit of a sting. Along with being charged the full resort fee despite the swimming pool not being operational when we stayed.

Beautiful place in a great location. The service is underwhelming, bordering on disinterested. Particularly before they received my reservation, they were a bit rude. I have mobility challenges, when i asked for a chair in the shower, the receptionist pointed to a few chairs and said “ you can take that one, no one uses it” instead of offering to bring a chair there. Not a bad experience, just for the price, the service is very mediocre

Lovely boutique, hotel, walking distance from beautiful Laguna Beach. Quaint and peaceful, decorated in minimalist surfer chic. Free of televisions, telephones, only the vintage record player and vinyl selection to enhance your stay. Small detailed touches like morning coffee delivered to your door add to the properties charm. The staff was so kind,I look forward to my next visit!

Lovely little place with nice added extras but very over priced for what it was. We felt like everything was about money and the free breakfast they advertise wasn’t that great and had hidden charges. Staff were very friendly but felt like they were constantly wanting you to purchase over priced drinks when laid round the pool.

Beautiful and clean property and overall pretty good experience for a couple of nights. Our mattress was not very comfortable and likely needed to be replaced. It dipped in some parts. The pool was cold and definitely was not at 90 (nor even 80 or 70 degrees) temperature as advertised. More likely the pool temperature was in the 60s. Short walk to lovely Shaw’s Cove but there are limited spots to set your things up and it was very crowded.

The property is amazing! Everything is in the details. It’s super clean, peaceful, the pool is awesome, view is great, decor is INCREDIBLE, loved the record player and LPs in the room. Love the movies, the taffy in the jars, the staff are so sweet, positive and lovely. The food is also really great. The only thing is check in is at 4pm which is a little late IMO.
