Let the gentle sounds of Seals and waves lull you to sleep at
night! This property is only a 30 SECOND walk to the sand of
Crescent Bay, listed as one of the top 5 beaches in all of Southern
California by the LA Times. The beach is great for bodysurfing,
boogie boarding, skim boarding, swiming and diving, tide pooling,
you name it! Additionally, there is very little sea-weed that comes
in here from the rocks to attract flies like many of the other
beaches in Laguna.

There are virtually NO ROCKS on the shore or in the water to stubb
your toe on! My wife likes the beach because it has a bathroom and
an outside shower that the public can use! The 2nd best beach in
Laguna according to this owner (who has lifeguarded every beach in
Laguna so he should know!) is Shaws Cove. Shaws cove is the very
next beach south of Crescent Bay. It must be pretty neat as a
famous actress recently bought an ocean front house there!

Because of the popularity of Crescent Bay & Shaws Cove, parking is a
problem for everyone, except our guests. We have private parking on
the property! That means two things. #1 You ALWAYS have a place to
park when you are our guests. #2 If you decide on another place,
further from the beach you had better count the costs of how long it
will take to find a parking space and whether or not the hassle is
worth it (whether you drove or walked to the beach) once you go home
with the sunburn of your life. (Note the picture below that
adequately describes the hassles of finding parking close to the
beach when on your "summer vacation"!)

Folks, the Sun is HOT here in the summer and can burn you when you
are not used to it. Because we are so close to the beach, you can
have a morning and afternoon session! In between, walk up to the
house, nap the kids if they are young, get out of the hot mid-day
sun, avoid that burn and have a nice lunch without sand in your
food. Sunburned kids or parents can ruin that perfect
vacation!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your deck is GREAT! It is an all year deck with weather that allows
you to sit out there barefoot almost every day of the year!
Additionally, the malibu lighting in the evening makes for a great
place to sip a drink of your choice while listening for the waves
and seals. If it is cool, fire up the heat lamp and relax. If you
have young children, the deck can be quickly made secure and yet
allow them an area to play. We also have a blow-up pool suitable
for small children. The sun heats up the water giving the kids
hours of splash fun while you kick back and read a book! (It also
doubles as a warm place to get the sand off of them after a long day
of digging for sand crabs in the sand!)

(Please give advance notice of small children coming. The place is
semi child-proof with places like the gas fireplace screened off
with an unmovable grate and under sink areas that have chemicals are
also childproofed).

You hardly need a car here. You are walking distance to the village
and that walk takes you down the most beautiful part of Laguna:
Cliff Drive. And you are living right on it! Just walk down the
street to town (or catch the city tram), either way, you will get to
see the most beautiful beaches in Laguna along the way!

The "Crescent Bay Hideaway" boasts that it is the largest 2bd/2ba
apartment so close to the beach. 1800 Square Feet allows quite a
bit of room to relax and even has an eat-in kitchen whose table can
expand to seat 10-12!. When you add the outside deck to this which
is close to 1,000 SF (which acts really as a room almost all year
long with the type of climate that we have here), you won't be
stumbling over those you care about enough to have with you on your
vacation.

Your own entrance, private washing facilities, private deck, BBQ and
storage for Boogie Boards, Surf-boards, bicycles... just about
anything you think you might need at the beach... But if you forgot
anything, this place is equiped with anything you might need from
beach chairs, umbrellas, fins, masks & snorkels, boogie boards, kids
shovels and sand toys... and local owners who truly KNOW THE BEACH
and all things LAGUNA!
