Manzanita Cottages

Absolutely fantastic! We look forward to revisiting the cottages again. Charming doesn’t describe how beautiful the gardens are. They’ve filled them with more species of flowers than I’ve seen at a botanical gardens Wildly enchanting. The Location is walkable to pretty much whatever you want to see. Galleries galore and restaurants that are fantastic. The residents are warm very welcoming. Love it, can’t wait to go back.

I stayed in the studio and it was perfect for a solo vacation. Comfy bed, hot shower and equipped kitchen in a group of cottages that look like they should be inhabited by gnomes. Easy walking distance to shops and beach. I hope to be back with my family next time!

The cottage was very cute, but the kitchen was very small. It was a bit further away from the beach than I had expected. The biggest problem I had was there was no mention of the 21 stairs you have to go down to get to them. Unloading my car was a hassle and with a bad knee, the fear of tripping down them was always present. The stairs and distance from the beach are reasons I would not rent these again.

Wonderful place to stay! Sean was so helpful and easy to work with. We stayed in the green cottage for 3 nights to celebrate our anniversary. We can’t wait to stay here again and try another cottage. The minute we stepped foot through the top gate, we were embraced by gardens and the cottages captivating architecture, transporting us straight into a historic village of Europe. The cottage a separate living room, dining area, kitchen, master bedroom and full bath. The king size bed was comfortable and the closet offered ample storage space so we could keep everything neat and tidy. The water pressure was amazing, it became hot almost immediately and made you feel like you were at home. One evening, we decided to fire up the grill and it worked perfectly. As for the gas fireplace, it added a touch of old-world charm to our romantic evenings. Also, the cottages have lights on the outside, which light up the pathways just enough. Location was lovely, tucked into a nice neighborhood, just far enough away from the hustle of the main beach and downtown area, but close enough to get there with an easy walk. The gated entrance at the top where we parked our car and the secure gate down the back that led us into town were both locked with a code. Knowing we were well-protected gave us peace of mind during our entire stay. They also provided beach chairs and umbrella! We couldn't resist lounging by the mesmerizing waves, basking in the sun, and simply enjoying the serene beach life. It truly completed our Laguna Beach experience! Thank you, Manzanita Cottage, for creating the perfect backdrop for our anniversary celebration. We'll forever cherish the memories made in this oasis of tranquility. Can't wait for our next adventure back to Laguna Beach!
