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!!!!!!!!!
