We had a great stay! The golf cart was such a fun and convenient bonus, especially for getting around with our group. There was space for everyone, and it felt very family-friendly the entire time. One of the best parts was how close we were to the beach—just a quick 2-min golf cart ride and 5-minute walk, which made everything so easy and enjoyable. We would definitely stay here again!

Love Laguna Beach!
Laguna Beach is always our favorite area to stay for vacation. The house was as advertised, and was actually more spacious than I expected. Everything worked out perfectly. We really didn't see much need for the golf cart, because the house is so close to the beach. But it was a neat experience to cruise in the golf cart to The Carousel (store) and around the neighborhood. The kitchen was well equipped, spacious, and gorgeous! One of our teenagers said, "This kitchen looks like it belongs in a cooking show." My only complaint is that the dishwasher did not seem to clean the dishes very well. I even checked the filter, which was very clean, and used Cascade pods. It was a very minor inconvenience to have to hand wash the dishes. And I would still give the vacation experience and the house all five stars.

We loved staying at this home! We had grandparents, aunt and uncle, parents and two children, and everyone was comfortable. We walked to the beach several times, and when we had lots of stuff to carry, the golf cart was a big help. Would stay here again!

The best week ❤️
We just stayed at Happy Times! We had the best week. The home was exactly as described and exactly what we needed. The walk to the beach was so easy and quick! Communication could not have been any better! The only suggestion I have is that I wish there had been a broom, I would have certainly swept up after us daily! And maybe a few more towels and washcloths. Other than that we had everything we needed! We look down to staying again!

The house was beautiful and in a perfect area because all of the larger Resorts and hotels were far from us. Even with other people on the beach it felt like a private beach. We could easily find a spot near the water everyday to set up our stuff. The house was beautiful and clean and had plenty of dishes and cookware in the kitchen for us to use. Jilenna was very responsive anytime we had a question. We are looking forward to staying there again next year and hopefully in future years to come!

We had a fabulous stay! The layout worked so well for two families and we enjoyed the open concept. The beds were fluffy and everything was very clean.

We are a family of 8 and there was plenty of room for everyone! The home was very clean and looked just like the pictures. The beach was a block away. We were also able to walk to the neighborhood grocery store. The kids enjoyed the pool. The kitchen was beautiful and had all the things we needed to cook several meals at home. There were 4 showers which made cleaning up after the beach or swimming much easier for our big family. We spent a lot of time on the balcony. It was a home away from home. We had a wonderful stay and would love to come back!

Our family had a great week at this house. The house is set up very well. The rental agency was quick to reply back when we reached out to them. The beach was a short walk from the house and we enjoyed the community pool as well. The second floor patio is large and we spent lots of time out there. Had many places to hang things and drop items by the door coming in from the beach. Only thing I would mention is if you have larger vehicles like we do parking will be a little tight but we had 2 large trucks and an suv.
