Cottage vacation rentals in Costa Mesa

These hosts are the real deal and this place is a spectacular airbnb. I’m an Airbnb regular and also an infrequent host of our own second home. Jaime and Liz have everything you need and more. No stone left unturned with giving directions and finding things. Thank you for a fantastic stay.

This place is perfection. The design is exquisite and a joy to hang out in. We stayed over Christmas with our two children, John had kindly put up elegant decorations inside the house and fabulous lights all around the outside of the cottage. The house looked like a wonderful feel good LA movie on arrival. The beds are comfortable with high quality linen. The kitchen is equipped with everything you could need and is modern and tasteful, as are the bathrooms. I’d like to tip my hat to the cleaners, totally spotless. Laguna itself is a chic little arty beach town that feels very European in many ways. There are fun shops and restaurants to visit and art events throughout the year. We saw a great small local band on the beach and met some lovely locals. During the day we saw dolphins leaping about in the bay and took a boat out. I can’t recommend this place enough, John was very kind, helpful and easy to communicate with. Thank you John for a memorable stay and happy holidays!

This was perfect for our group of four and we felt very safe and snug! Tom was friendly and we would definitely return! The hot tub was a nice treat after lots of walking around town, nature preserve, beach, boardwalk, etc.

Our stay at Chuchu’s place was phenomenal. We had a wonderful time and the location went above and beyond to exceed our expectations. Chuchu was responsive, kind, and was amazing. We’re so grateful for her and everything she’s done for us, her place was clean and looked exactly like the photos. We can’t recommend her airbnb enough. Thank you!

it was a beautiful place! would happily stay here again!

Nicely laid out space. Plenty of room for 4 people and 2 dogs. All surfaces were clean and easy to clean. So many toys to use for the beach. Bikes, boogie boards, chairs and a wagon. Made it so much easier to pack. Great to have a laundry space. Parking was easy. Entering the place was easy. Ernie was very communicative. Loved the place. Will. Be back.

I came in for a funeral with my Family and the church was right around the corner, grocery store was down the street and my stay was easy and stress free. The Casita was beyond great, and I definitely was grateful for my stay.

Beautiful home with lots to do around the area. Provided towels for the beach and many other amenities in the house.

Super cute vintage beach cottage. Front porch area to sit and relax. Block from the water. Lots to do.

10/10 stars 🌟 This space was so beautiful, peaceful, and had everything you could think of for a wonderful stay. I was so at home, appreciated being able to cook my own meals and loved that it was dog friendly. Mary was so sweet, kind, and responsive. She is a fantastic host who truly thought of everything to make this stay above and beyond. We would absolutely stay again. The oranges from the garden were an extra plus! So delicious!

Wonderful stay!! The coastal walking path is less than a 5 minute walk from the cottage - and the beach not much further! We walked everywhere from a cute coffee spot (2 minutes), Las Brisas (5 minutes) to downtown/main beach in about 10. Beautiful spot, the cottage was perfect for hanging out and fantastic location, we will definitely be back! Cynthia was SO helpful and responsive - we forgot something at the cottage after check out and she was so understanding and kind to respond quickly to help us get it. All around amazing experience!

We visited two years ago and still love this spot. Great view and easy access to everything we wanted to do.

Janis’s place is very central to all that Newport Beach has to offer as well close enough to hop onto the 55N & get going all over OC or LA. A short right turn away puts you on the PCH & yet, this home overlooking the famed NB Canal streets is super quiet & picturesque. Parking is a challenge anywhere in the beach cities yet Janis was in constant touch with us in sharing her coveted parking garage spots which was in itself priceless to our stay. Very accommodating, Janis has proved to be a distinctly excellent host right through, whenever we needed any kind of info. or assistance. The place itself is lovely, central to coffee shops, the famed Lido Marina & Newport Pen. Located on the 2nd story corner bldg., the WFH desk is well placed to overlook the Canal & the home makes for a warm & comfortable stay right throughout. Clean furnishings & linens, comfortable beds & well laid out space of 2BR+2BA made for an amazing week long stay. We will love to return ! Thank you, Janis.

Kira took me in after I lost my home in the Eaton fires. Her kindness and empathy has made a stressful and difficult time easier to navigate. She has such a beautiful energy. Her magical home is a healing sanctuary. A place that not only could I feel safe and begin the healing process, but one that is so visually stimulating and creative that by being in the space and outdoor surroundings, you feel you can take on anything in the world. She has poured so much love into her home and the design of her yard that you can't help but feel enveloped by it. The nature surrounding the area is so grounding. Kira's place truly is a magical wonderland.

So many great things to say about this place! Instructions to get there and check in were super clear! The place is sparkling clean and decorated really well. It’s very comfortable to stay there. It was so quiet and private as well! And the plants and landscaping around the house are beautiful too. We loved the neighborhood. Easy to get to Anaheim. And the restaurants there were great. We loved every meal. If I could live here, I would! You are definitely making a great choice by staying here!

Great stay! The property was exactly as described. I will definitely come back next time we visit Newport area. Thank you!!!

The cottage was absolutely adorable! We can’t wait to stay again on our annual Disneyland trip!

Chander's place was exactly what we wanted. It's close to downtown Huntington Beach, walkable by a few blocks. The house was clean and well appointed. The driveway is shared with the neighbor and you will need to get out of the car to open and close the gate each time you use it. It is extremely narrow so be aware of that. We just parked on the street to avoid the need to open/close the gate and navigate the narrow driveway each time.

My family and I had a great stay at Kingston's place. My husband and I had our toddler so the three of us were very comfortable. The unit was clean and the beds were very comfortable. We wanted to extend our stay and Kingston was gracious and willing to let us do so. We will absolutely be returning when we come back to Newport!

Natalie’s place was perfect for our visit to Long Beach. The place was spotless and had everything you could possibly need to make the stay comfortable including nice provisions that she left for us. We never had problem with parking within a block of her place and found the area to be super quiet at night. We loved walking along the beach and doing morning yoga on the deck. The heater is on the loud side, but the two times we needed it, it heat the place up in a matter of a minutes. We will definitely stay here again when visiting our son in LB.
