The hype
Travelers love the homey condo setup and rooftop sunsets, but often complain about the lack of a pool and dated furniture.
Laguna Surf
$200-350 / noapte
Rezervă dacă You want a full condo with a kitchen and free parking right on the ocean without paying Surf & Sand prices.
De ce o iubesc oamenii
- Rare free underground parking in parking-starved Laguna
- Rooftop deck with BBQs and insane ocean views
- Full kitchens and fireplaces in every unit
Privire rapidă: It's a dated timeshare building that looks stuck in the 90s, but the location and free parking make it the best value on PCH.
Evaluat de @caligirlltravels: I stayed at this hidden gem in Laguna and fell in love. The vintage surf vibes are so cool, and waking up right on the ocean was unforgettable. It feels like your own private beach house rather than a hotel. Definitely grab a room with a balcony for the best views.

Reality check
If you don't get an oceanfront unit, you are paying hundreds of dollars to look at a busy highway and hear cars all night.
- You are traveling with family and need a kitchen to save on food
- You refuse to pay $50/night for valet parking elsewhere
- You prioritize ocean views over modern interior design
Curățenie și Întreținere
8.8
- Housekeeping: Weekly service only. Guests often arrive to clean rooms but complain about lack of daily refresh.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally clean grout and tiles, though fixtures are dated and show age.
- Maintenance: Furniture is worn but functional. Paint is kept up, but salt air takes a toll on exterior metal.
- Linens & towels: Standard hotel quality—clean but not luxurious. Bring your own beach towel if you're picky.
- Odors & scents: Common complaints of 'old building smell' or mustiness in hallways, but rooms usually smell fresh.

Întrebări frecvente și sfaturi ascunse
Tot ceea ce vrei de fapt să știi înainte de a rezerva.
Is there a pool?
No. There is a rooftop hot tub, but no swimming pool. Do not confuse this with 'Laguna Surf Lodge by SCP' which has a pool.
Is parking free?
Yes, free underground self-parking is included. This is extremely rare for Laguna Beach hotels.
Does it have air conditioning?
Yes, unlike many older Laguna properties, Laguna Surf units are equipped with AC.
Is it directly on the beach?
Yes, the building sits on a bluff directly overlooking the ocean, with stairs leading down to the sand.
Are there resort fees?
Not a traditional resort fee, but a 'City Tax' of approximately $28.45 per night is collected upon arrival.
Is there daily housekeeping?
No. As a timeshare property, cleaning is typically done weekly. You may need to request fresh towels.

The rooftop deck has gas BBQs—buy fresh fish from Ralphs (across the street) and grill your own sunset dinner.

Walk 5 minutes north to Heisler Park for the best free tide pool viewing in California.

The 'Murphy bed' in the living room is actually quite comfortable, making the 1-bedroom units sleep 4 adults decently.
