Serenity in the Hills - A Chic Coastal Apartment with Balcony & Ocean Glimpses

Serenity in the Hills is a chic, fully furnished one-bedroom studio tucked into the lush hills of Laguna Beach — offering privacy, comfort, and effortless coastal living.

Enjoy peekaboo ocean views from your private balcony, framed by greenery and coastal breezes — perfect for morning coffee or evening wine.

Inside, the space is thoughtfully curated with calming neutrals and soft coastal blues. Highlights include:

• Queen bed
• Spa-style bathroom with soaking tub
• Walk-in closet with generous storage
• Strong Wi-Fi (ideal for remote work)
• Thoughtfully equipped kitchenette
• Private entrance
• Dedicated garage parking

The apartment is attached to the owner’s residence yet fully private, creating a quiet, boutique-style retreat in a serene residential setting.

Please note: The unit is accessed via a private exterior staircase and may not be suitable for guests with mobility limitations.

Well-behaved pets are welcome with prior approval. Dogs must remain on a leash (maximum 6’) while outdoors and may not be left unattended outside. Cats must remain indoors at all times. The hillside setting makes the home best suited for small to medium-sized pets.

Just 1.2 miles to the beach and 5 minutes to downtown Laguna, you’re perfectly positioned for art galleries, cafés, hiking trails, and day trips to LA or San Diego.

Ideal for writers, executives, traveling professionals, or anyone seeking calm and clarity by the coast.

Ashley R.

Disliked: Cleanliness
I was never refunded for my last night. She told me to leave early, but never paid me back. There is absolutely no privacy whatsoever, it actually scared me how very unsafe this vrbo is. Everything that’s promised is not necessarily delivered. It is completely up to her. So, regardless what the website says, she will do whatever she wants. This was the strangest set up I’ve ever seen on a vrbo in my life! Unbelievable. Total lack of respect and actually keeping my money after I didn’t even get to stay my last Saturday night, just crazy.

Great retreat!

Cutest and quietest place to stay for our couple of weeks. Bree was very communicative and the property was clean and entry instructions were clear. Thanks for the stay Bree, we would highly recommend your place. Laura
