Blessing Cottage: A Vintage Cottage 2 blocks from the beach

Blessing Cottage is a charming, vintage cottage located two blocks from one of Laguna's most popular surfing, skimming, and boogie boarding beaches. Main Beach, downtown Laguna, and the Art Festivals, are all within an easy five to ten minute stroll. The convenient location, plus the many amenities of the cottage, create the ultimate Laguna Beach vacation home.

The cottage features hardwood floors throughout, a fully-equipped gourmet kitchen, two bedrooms each with a queen-size bed and a dining area that seats six. The lush gardens in both the front and back yards provide a tranquil retreat. Enjoy cooking and dining under the grape arbor on the large back patio, overlooking the lovely landscaped garden. There is an outdoor warm water shower to rinse off after a day at the beach.
The cottage has been lovingly furnished by the owners with treasures from their travels. There are two bedrooms, each with a queen sized bed. We have a futon that is appropriate for a child. Original art adorns the walls, and the bookcase is filled with many interesting books and treasures. Everything needed for fun at the beach has been provided, including beach chairs, boogie boards, cooler, umbrella, and beach towels. There is an outdoor shower with hot water so you can rinse off after the beach.

Come to Blessing Cottage to experience the very best that Laguna Beach has to offer. We rent by the week, from Saturday to Saturday.

Blessing Cottage Spring 2024
Perfect location in the heart of one of the best towns on the planet. Beaches, restaurants, grocery, boutiques all just a few minutes' walk with a trolley stop nearby to take you all up and down the coast. The house is as promised in every way with everything you need for a SoCal getaway. The yard is worthy of arboretum status and provides wonderful birdwatching opportunities. Excellent communication from host.

Great little place to stay with my wife and 3 young boys. The cottage was perfectly sized and the fenced in yard was a great place to look at the garden. Very close walking distance to everything you need - beech, grocery store, and restaurants.

A cottage that lives up to its name.
We were truly blessed to have been able to stay at Blessing Cottage over Christmas. It is perfectly located -- with walkable access to the beach, the downtown area, and the HIP District. The cottage is charming. The backyard is beautiful. We couldn't have asked for more.

Best cottage
We have stayed here a few times. It is an amazing place, with all the necessities and amazing location. The owner is very communicative and responsive. She makes sure everything is to our liking. The cottage is so close to the beach. We have stayed for Thanksgiving a few times now and every time there's enough dishes to make a full Thanksgiving dinner. It is perfect. The backyard is absolutely amazing. It feels like you're not in the middle of the city.

Charming cottage in a great location
This was our first time staying at Blessing Cottage and also our first time renting in Laguna Beach. The cottage is in an ideal location for beach, downtown and coast highway access, it really is in a sweet spot. The cottage itself is small but well stocked (particularly the kitchen!) and the book library is eclectic, interesting and extensive. We spent so much time on the beautiful back patio and yard that going forward we've decided that any unit we rent must have as nice of an outdoor living area like Blessing Cottage. Debra was a great host, excellent communicator and had helpful tips for things to do during our time in Laguna. We would definitely recommend her rental for small families or couples who want to be in the thick of all the activities that Laguna Beach has to offer.

The Blessing cottage is perfectly named; because it is truly a blessing to stay there! It's decorated so cute, the garden is just beautiful and the beds are really comfortable. Debra is the most wonderful host, and all could not have been more perfect. I feel so refreshed after having stayed there, and cannot recommend the cottage enough. Such a Laguna Beach gem!

Comfy Cottage
This is a charming and comfortable cottage, as advertised, with very comfortable beds, great washer and dryer, well provided and functional kitchen. The original artwork, the book collection, and especially the welcoming back yard with its beautifully displayed and integrated variety of succulents make this property unique. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

LOVED our stay at the Blessing Cottage!!
Words can't describe how much we loved living for 2 weeks at the Blessing Cottage! The pictures made the backyard look enchanting and I was concerned that it would not be as good as pictured and was I wrong. It was even better! And no one mentioned that you would have 2 or 3 hummingbirds hovering around to enjoy as well as the flowers blooming in January! We lived in the back yard...at least when we were not cooking in the open kitchen or playing cards at the table. Debra was VERY responsive and has this house maxed out with everything you need in terms of spices, appliances (yes, washer and dryer!), thick luxurious towels, beach chairs, etc. And the location was perfect. Just 2 blocks from the beach so we could see the sun set each night. And the Laguna Boardwalk and shops were only 2 blocks further. We felt right at home from the minute we stepped into the Blessing Cottage!

Excellent location close to beach, shopping and restaurants
Great location within easy walking distance to beach, restaurants and grocery store. The grounds and yard were great. Owner was very nice and responsive. Kitchen and bath were well stocked. Loved all the beach equipment provided! Interior furnishings were dated and “eclectic”. Tub surround and tub need to be fixed. There were no screens on the windows and we were reluctant to leave them open due to spiders and mosquitoes which made it very warm inside. Thank goodness for the three fans! Thank you Debra for the surprise left in the refrigerator! All in all we enjoyed being so close to everything and we spent hours on the beach.

Lovely Beach Cottage
During our stay at Blessing Cottage, we were able to immerse ourselves in a residential beach community to experience the beauty and atmosphere of Laguna Beach. Its location is within walking distance of the beach, dining, and local art scene. Unaccustomed to street noise, we closed the front windows at certain times of the day. The cottage is very comfortable, decorated in a cool, vintage style with original artwork. We left our books in the suitcases and took advantage of the varied collection that the home provided. The garden was the highlight, offering both sunny and shady areas to relax in and take in surrounding nature. Overall, the cottage more than satisfied our needs as the home base for our vacation and do highly recommend.

Amazing Vacation
The house was a perfect oasis for our family. The owner Debra was quick and kind with all her communication. The house with perfectly stocked for our family of four (including a crib for our 2 year old), a radio/CDs, kitchen with all amenities, and beach chairs/toys. My family, who lived 15 - 30 minutes away were skeptical about the location because of the “traffic” and they even admitted they were wrong. The perfect placement of windows cooled down the house with a cross breeze and the backyard was amazing for relaxing with a beer once the kids went to bed.

Perfect location for a spring vacation with family. Laguna is a fun place to walk on the beach, around town and in the neighborhood. The cottage has a fun forties vibe with a surprisingly well stocked library! Check out Laguna Coffee Company for morning coffee and Roux Creole (so near by we almost missed it) for the best catfish ever. Debra was an ideal person to work with.
