My house is located in Laguna Beach, halfway between Los Angeles and San Diego.  I live a block up from the Pacific Ocean with a wonderful beach at the end of the street.
Comfortable living room with views of ocean, deck, and garden.  Den with tv, books, and computer.  Master bedroom opens to garden.  Guest bedroom with pull-out double bed, tv, and treadmill.  Fully equiped kitchen (all appliances including microwave) with ocean view.  Dining table seats 8-10.  Private garden. Aero beds available.  Cable TV, VCR, DVD, and computer with printer available.
Beautiful beach is down the street. Laguna Beach is filled with lovely beaches and art galleries.  Summers have several art festivals and the Pagent of the Masters (http://foapom.com/).  Within easy driving distance to Disneyland and Knotts Berry Farm.  About 60 miles from San Diego and Los Angeles, with Universal Studios, San Diego Zoo, Lego Land, and Sea World theme parks.
