Across reviews, Laguna's Hidden Gem Penthouse 2 BEDROOMS, DEN, Oceanview..Quality Beds, 4 guests is praised for its beautiful patio and rooftop with ocean views, walkable beach access, and attentive hosts, making it a relaxing base for Laguna Beach stays.
Guests consistently note clean interiors, comfortable beds, stylish decor, and a well-equipped kitchen that makes cooking easy. The location also offers easy access to the trolley and nearby restaurants. Common trade-offs include traffic noise in street-facing bedrooms, a few small showers, and an uncomfortable pullout in the den; there are also stairs to reach the unit and roof terrace. Expect a charming, convenient stay with some urban noise.

Here for a wedding just down the road so location was perfect. Parking spot a plus. Walk to the Drake for great food & music! Property was clean & comfy. Shower in main bathroom was tiny - one of us was not so tiny, but he managed. Back patio very relaxing, though it was quite hot during the day. Communication with host was perfect. Would definitely stay again!

Can' say enough great thingsd about our almost five week stay. Gorgeous place fantastically appointed just as noted. The proerty manager was excellent in all communications. We saw saw Bill frequently, great guy, super nice and accomodating. Very very copmfortable and quiet. The AC was a plus on occasion. Multiple TVs and great internet. Kitchen perfect. There are steps to the place but no issues (good cardio). We often walked to Victoria Beach and the beaches at Montage. Trolley stopa block way ... easy. Nice relaxing garden area out side. The plants are gorgeous. Another set of outdoor steps takes you to you own private terrace with Ocean views. Can't say enought good things about it and the way it is run. An exceptional offering.

This house is very clean and comfortable. Centrally located and to have parking in California is great. The kitchen is well stocked and the beach access across the street is wonderful.

We absolutely loved staying here. The patio/garden area is beautiful and relaxing. Had coffee every morning on the upstairs patio overlooking the ocean. The beds and bedding are to die for. The decor made me want to stay forever. It's a short walk to this little bay on the beach, which was clean and rather private. You will love it.

Beautiful property, has everything you need. We all used the large patio for hanging out by and doing some remote work. And there’s another spot upstairs with a great view. The location is amazing, walk to the Montage, Rubys or the shopping Center with CVS, La Sirena Grill etc. Take the trolley into town and don’t worry about parking. Lots of great hikes right outside your door. Bliss!

Back patio was a highlight. Good to have a parking spot in Laguna. Easy walk to The Drake & Starfish for dinners & less than 10 minutes to the beach. We found the K bed to be too soft but that's a personal preference. One of 2 showers too small to use comfortably. Apt was clean. Good communication.

Right on main highway so has car noise. Rained prior to and first day of stay so outside furniture was damp. Main bedroom has own bathroom but mattress is very soft. No tissues in place. Kitchen is nice, provided caffenated pods. Excellent location to beach and Montague hotel area but on main highway. Bathrooms are small. Rooftop table with view of ocean is nice. Has decent parking spot.

We loved staying here. The apartment is beautiful and interesting, AND immaculate. The patio is so lovely and the rooftop terrace is a special treat. The space accommodated our family —four adults and a 19 month old—quite well. The host was so personable and helpful, both before our travels and while we were there! An absolutely delightful stay!

Rooms
Interiors are spacious and stylish, and beds are widely praised for comfort, though a few guests found the king mattress too soft. Some note street-facing bedrooms can be noisy, a couple of showers are small, and the den’s sofa bed and curtain divider are less ideal.

First, communication with Bill was excellent. We are told to check in at the Black Iris below the apartment and that was perfect. The apartment was spacious and beautifully decorated. It had two large master bedrooms and two full bathrooms. There was a full size living room and dining area. Also, a full size kitchen. We went our for dinner each night of our stay but for those who want to make dinner at there apartment there is everything you need. All appliances and a large refrigerator. There is a counter you can sit at. There is also a sitting room that is very comfortable. There are multiple televisions throughout and even one set up while you're in the kitchen. There is very comfortable furniture and the beds are great. I slept so well. In addition, there is a large out side patio with a beautiful garden and a stairway leading to a rooftop sitting area with a table and chairs and a wonderful view of the ocean. The location is outstanding. There is a parking spot within a very short distance to the apartment. I would definitely stay at this apartment on future trips to this area. Everything went smoothly and we definitely enjoyed our time in Laguna Beach thanks in large part to this apartment. Thanks again to Bill and Paul.

This is a great property -- excellent location, beautiful patio area, well stocked kitchen, parking, communicative hosts. The only disappointment was the pullout couch in the den space, which the listing states as "new, high quality." This bed was so uncomfortable to each of the teen boys I was traveling with (one 5'0", 100 lbs; the other 5'5", 130) that they opted to share the king size bed instead of each having his own bedroom. The den space is also right off the kitchen with a curtain divider, not a door. For our little group of 3, this didn't matter at all; we still had a great stay and would return. But a group of six adults might feel differently. I suggest the owners invest in a newer, more comfortable pullout or adjust the listing so this is more clear this space is suitable to smaller kids but not adults.

This apartment worked perfectly for our trip to Laguna! It’s a perfect size for two couples and we easily fit a pack and play for our son in our room. The kitchen is a great size and it has a gorgeous back patio and roof deck that has views of the ocean! It’s a quick drive to the main downtown of Laguna!

The apartment is exactly as advertised and reviewed. Great location - a few minute walk to the beach and a couple of miles from downtown. Some reviews talk about street news and it is correct that the two bedrooms are on the coastal highway side but none of us heard it (accept if a very loud motorcycle drove by). We were never woken up during the night. Hosts also have sound machines in each room. Sleeper sofa was a problem (not comfortable as others have stated and broken) but they are replacing it this week so it won’t be a problem going forward. One of my friends slept on the living room couch and it was super comfortable. It felt like a bed due to its size and cushion. The back patio is idyllic. Great place to hang out. And the hosts are great communicators.

Great location and lively property. The bedding was amazing. I live in the back country where there is no traffic, therefore extremely quiet. This location was close in proximity to so much but unfortunately the bedrooms are located on the street side so if your not used to quiet (like my brother) but you may want earplugs if your anything like me…again the bedding was worth it! Great place, would highly recommend.

This house truly was a sanctuary by the beach. From our mornings on the zen garden patio to our evenings watching the sunsets from the rooftop deck, it was all so amazing! The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. The location was ideal, with Victoria beach close by and downtown Laguna a short trolly ride away. We are definitely looking forward to coming again! This truly is a hidden gem!

We truly enjoyed our stay from the moment we arrived to the moment we didn’t want to leave. It’s a beautiful and very private place to stay and so close to one very phenomenal restaurant. The Drake. Wow and yum! Bill was an absolute pleasure to work with and being greeted by Allie was wonderful as well. Everyone in the Black Iris was soooooo very kind. I would recommend this beautiful rental to anyone who’s considering it. I have a few highlights while on our 3 night getaway, however, the best one was getting engaged. 💍♥️🥂 We will return again……and again.

Location
Walkable to Victoria and Treasure Island beaches and the Montage area, with restaurants and the trolley nearby; downtown is a short ride. Being along the coastal highway brings convenience but can add traffic noise.

Can' say enough great thingsd about our almost five week stay. Gorgeous place fantastically appointed just as noted. The proerty manager was excellent in all communications. We saw saw Bill frequently, great guy, super nice and accomodating. Very very copmfortable and quiet. The AC was a plus on occasion. Multiple TVs and great internet. Kitchen perfect. There are steps to the place but no issues (good cardio). We often walked to Victoria Beach and the beaches at Montage. Trolley stopa block way ... easy. Nice relaxing garden area out side. The plants are gorgeous. Another set of outdoor steps takes you to you own private terrace with Ocean views. Can't say enought good things about it and the way it is run. An exceptional offering.

This furnished-with-love penthouse has access to a wonderful hidden terrace, giving you the feeling of having arrived in an oasis! The host is wonderful- very helpful and welcoming. Walking distance from the beach and even downtown Laguna!

This house is very clean and comfortable. Centrally located and to have parking in California is great. The kitchen is well stocked and the beach access across the street is wonderful.

This apartment worked perfectly for our trip to Laguna! It’s a perfect size for two couples and we easily fit a pack and play for our son in our room. The kitchen is a great size and it has a gorgeous back patio and roof deck that has views of the ocean! It’s a quick drive to the main downtown of Laguna!

We absolutely loved staying here. The patio/garden area is beautiful and relaxing. Had coffee every morning on the upstairs patio overlooking the ocean. The beds and bedding are to die for. The decor made me want to stay forever. It's a short walk to this little bay on the beach, which was clean and rather private. You will love it.

We were traveling for a wedding at the Montague. This is an excellent alternative to a hotel stay. Very close to this resort. Would stay here again. Would not consider otherwise.

Beautiful property, has everything you need. We all used the large patio for hanging out by and doing some remote work. And there’s another spot upstairs with a great view. The location is amazing, walk to the Montage, Rubys or the shopping Center with CVS, La Sirena Grill etc. Take the trolley into town and don’t worry about parking. Lots of great hikes right outside your door. Bliss!

We loved this place. Beautiful 2 bedroom/2 baths/zen garden and rooftop deck. Nicely decorated and the owners from the Black Iris flower shop are very accommodating. You can walk to restaurants and visit the beautiful beach at the Montage Hotel. Highly recommend.

This house truly was a sanctuary by the beach. From our mornings on the zen garden patio to our evenings watching the sunsets from the rooftop deck, it was all so amazing! The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. The location was ideal, with Victoria beach close by and downtown Laguna a short trolly ride away. We are definitely looking forward to coming again! This truly is a hidden gem!

Right on main highway so has car noise. Rained prior to and first day of stay so outside furniture was damp. Main bedroom has own bathroom but mattress is very soft. No tissues in place. Kitchen is nice, provided caffenated pods. Excellent location to beach and Montague hotel area but on main highway. Bathrooms are small. Rooftop table with view of ocean is nice. Has decent parking spot.

Here for a wedding just down the road so location was perfect. Parking spot a plus. Walk to the Drake for great food & music! Property was clean & comfy. Shower in main bathroom was tiny - one of us was not so tiny, but he managed. Back patio very relaxing, though it was quite hot during the day. Communication with host was perfect. Would definitely stay again!

First, communication with Bill was excellent. We are told to check in at the Black Iris below the apartment and that was perfect. The apartment was spacious and beautifully decorated. It had two large master bedrooms and two full bathrooms. There was a full size living room and dining area. Also, a full size kitchen. We went our for dinner each night of our stay but for those who want to make dinner at there apartment there is everything you need. All appliances and a large refrigerator. There is a counter you can sit at. There is also a sitting room that is very comfortable. There are multiple televisions throughout and even one set up while you're in the kitchen. There is very comfortable furniture and the beds are great. I slept so well. In addition, there is a large out side patio with a beautiful garden and a stairway leading to a rooftop sitting area with a table and chairs and a wonderful view of the ocean. The location is outstanding. There is a parking spot within a very short distance to the apartment. I would definitely stay at this apartment on future trips to this area. Everything went smoothly and we definitely enjoyed our time in Laguna Beach thanks in large part to this apartment. Thanks again to Bill and Paul.

This is a great property -- excellent location, beautiful patio area, well stocked kitchen, parking, communicative hosts. The only disappointment was the pullout couch in the den space, which the listing states as "new, high quality." This bed was so uncomfortable to each of the teen boys I was traveling with (one 5'0", 100 lbs; the other 5'5", 130) that they opted to share the king size bed instead of each having his own bedroom. The den space is also right off the kitchen with a curtain divider, not a door. For our little group of 3, this didn't matter at all; we still had a great stay and would return. But a group of six adults might feel differently. I suggest the owners invest in a newer, more comfortable pullout or adjust the listing so this is more clear this space is suitable to smaller kids but not adults.

We truly enjoyed our stay from the moment we arrived to the moment we didn’t want to leave. It’s a beautiful and very private place to stay and so close to one very phenomenal restaurant. The Drake. Wow and yum! Bill was an absolute pleasure to work with and being greeted by Allie was wonderful as well. Everyone in the Black Iris was soooooo very kind. I would recommend this beautiful rental to anyone who’s considering it. I have a few highlights while on our 3 night getaway, however, the best one was getting engaged. 💍♥️🥂 We will return again……and again.

Back patio was a highlight. Good to have a parking spot in Laguna. Easy walk to The Drake & Starfish for dinners & less than 10 minutes to the beach. We found the K bed to be too soft but that's a personal preference. One of 2 showers too small to use comfortably. Apt was clean. Good communication.
