Vacation Rental Description

Let the gentle sounds of Seals and waves lull you to sleep at  
night!  This property is only "a 30 second walk to the beach" called  
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.   
 
Crescent Bay is virtually ALL SAND except for the points on each  
side (see the picture below).  This means that there are no  
permanent 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 absolutely  
beautiful with generally smaller waves. 
 
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 (people stay at the beach too long and  
get burned when confronted with the daunting task of either walking  
home..uphill, or finding their car that you parked..uphill,  
literally blocks from the beach!) 
 
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 lunch without sand in your food.   
Sunburned kids or parents can ruin your 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 provide a blow-up pool suitable for small children for your  
deck.  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!) 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, kitchen, laundry, deck, storage, two bathrooms,  
room enough to sleep eight, (maybe more).. frankly, all you will  
really need to bring are your own personal items, like a swim suit!  
 
NO SMOKING!!!!!!!!!
