The sound of the Pacific greets you before the day begins - waves rolling onto the sand while light shifts over the water and salt air drifts through open doors. Set directly on the oceanfront in Laguna Beach, this entire duplex puts the shoreline within arm`s reach, with private stairs leading from the home down to Torts Beach, tucked between 1000 Steps and Table Rock. Whether you`re carrying boards down at sunrise or simply watching the surf from a private deck, the connection to the coast is constant and effortless.
Spanning the full duplex across two thoughtfully arranged units, the home sleeps up to 12 guests across four bedrooms, six beds, and four baths - with two kitchens, two living rooms, and three private ocean-facing decks creating the kind of generous, flexible space that works equally well for extended families and larger friend groups. Every part of the home faces the water.
Sleeping arrangements The back unit spans two levels. On the first floor, a king bed sits alongside a sofa, dining area, full bath, and a fully stocked kitchen. A loft above holds two full beds. A detached studio on the Unit A deck adds a private king bed and 3/4 bath - ideal for guests who want their own space. The front unit features an oversized primary bedroom with a king bed, a portable full-sized bed, an air mattress, and an en suite bath. Downstairs, a queen sleeper sofa provides additional sleeping near a second full bath and kitchen area.
Kitchen and dining Two separate kitchens give your group the freedom to cook and gather without crowding into one space. Each is stocked with the essentials - refrigerator, freezer, stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, blender, toaster, baking sheet, cooking basics, dishes, and wine glasses. Dining tables in both units bring everyone together after time on the water, whether the meal is a quick breakfast before the beach or a proper sit-down dinner at sunset.
Living spaces Two living rooms are furnished with comfortable seating, sleeper sofas, and mounted TVs. Central air conditioning and heating, ceiling fans, and a washer and dryer keep things comfortable across every season - particularly welcome in Laguna Beach`s cooler coastal evenings. Wi-Fi, Ethernet connection, and a dedicated workspace mean remote work and streaming are both well covered. Extra pillows, blankets, hangers, clothing storage, and an iron round out the practical touches throughout.
Outdoor spaces Three private decks look directly out over the ocean, giving everyone in the group somewhere to sit with a view. A private patio or balcony and outdoor dining area extend the living space outside. Beach essentials - including beach towels, an umbrella, a beach blanket, and snorkeling gear - are on hand so spontaneous trips down to Torts Beach require almost no planning.
Bathrooms Four bathrooms are equipped with bathroom essentials - shampoo, conditioner, body soap, shower gel, hair dryer, and hot water throughout. One bathroom includes a bathtub.
Family and safety A crib and Pack `n Play/Travel crib are available upon request for families traveling with young children. Home safety features include exterior security cameras at the front door of both Unit A and Unit B, a smoke alarm, carbon monoxide alarm, and a fire extinguisher. Free parking on premises and free street parking are both available, and self check-in via keypad makes arrival simple and seamless.
Location Laguna Beach`s coastline, galleries, restaurants, and shops are all within easy reach of the property. The home`s direct access to Torts Beach - situated between 1000 Steps and Table Rock - means some of the area`s most scenic stretches of shore are right at your door.
Check-in is after 4:00 PM and check-out is by 11:00 AM. There is no extra fee for early check-in or late check-out if the schedule can accommodate your request. Cleaning is performed at the end of your stay; a mid-stay clean can be arranged for an additional fee. The home has noise limit requirements set by the HOA. Pets are welcome - no cats; certain non-shedding, hypoallergenic dogs will be considered at an additional fee. Please note that packages should not be shipped directly to the home, as the property is accessed by multiple vendors, housekeeping, and Guest Services staff.

Great hosts! Breath-taking views!
House could use a little work. The main deck rail is dangerously loose and outdoor lighting could be better. But, a great location close to town and restaurants. We had a great time!
Perfect location! Could not have been a better location to watch the sunset and enjoy ocean and beach strolls. Very private and quiet beach. Wonderful 4th of July stay, we were able to see multiple firework shows.
Wonderful place in a phenomenal location. Mike was very responsive and easy to work with. I would text directly if your party has 8 or more people to map out how to sleep everybody, since it may require both doubling up in the king beds and adding air mattresses.
Sufficient kitchen appliances, garbage bags, we bought paper towels but there was plenty there already.Beds (other than lower br) were very soft - pillows were good. The floors were not super clean but enough.Showers were good except lower bd shower. Hot then cold. Beach chairs mostly were broken. Floor mat dumped next to steps for laundry. Could use a laundry basket or two. Thanks for the coffee!
This home was in a great location. The layout is a little quirky, but if you aren't too picky, it is workable. The largest unit has the fewest sleeping areas, but 2 bathrooms. The unit with more places to sleep has only 1 bathroom. It just took us a minute to figure out where to place everyone. Luckily we are all one family: grandparents, 2 adult children and their families, so it was fine. None of the units was large enough for all of us to eat at the same table. Again, we ate on the couches, standing around, etc., not too much of a problem for us, but perhaps others wouldn't like it. The view was great. The beach is so close! And the outdoor seating would have been a better option for dining, if it hadn't rained every day that we were there :) This is a great house!!
The view is amazing and the place is great. Older beach house which gives the vibe of Laguna. Loved the place the only issue is there was beach clean up going on right below us. Not from the oil spill but something from the hospital next door leaking diesel and draining to the beach. I wish we would of been aware prior to coming. I know there’s nothing the property manager could do but having a heads up that there would be crews using the “private” steps to the beach as access for the work and to monitor through the day and night. The crews were nice and friendly but would of been nice to know so when I see two guys in yellow vests walking up from the steps at 9 pm at night and sitting by my vehicles I didn’t have to figure out what was going on. The excavator the last morning digging did kind of ruin our last morning on the balcony trying to enjoy some coffee. the crews using gas monitors down there too wasn’t a nice feeling. Overall the place was great, the construction/beach clean up should of been communicated and was an annoyance for the trip.
This house was a wonderful location. Close to some great, quiet restaurants and a liquor store/market. The beach was private and water was beautiful and clear with lots of chairs/beach toys. And multiple outdoor areas to relax. Michael was a great host and responded to our questions and needs very quickly. We will definitely be back!
Have I mentioned the location? You'd be hard-pressed to find a better location anywhere in SoCal. Are there bigger, fancier, and more modern accommodations out there? Sure. Cheaper? Of course! But for our family and this special occasion, this was absolutely PERFECT and the property manager was a pleasure to work with. What more can you ask for? A true blessing!
Amazing stay at multi unit beach house near 1,000 steps beach in S Laguna Beach.
Michael made check in and check out easy.
The location is AMAZING and the views are second to none. We swam, surfed and enjoyed the ocean right out in front of the house. What a dream to sit in the deck and see family and friends surfing right below. Location could not be beat. We had the beach to ourselves at times as there are steps right from the deck to the beach. Amazing.
The house has Been upgraded somewhat and is in need if some cosmetic Repairs. The price a house pays for being “on the beach”. But if you are looking for a place for a group to stay right on the beach where each group can have their own space (3 separate units) this is a very fun choice.
