Love Laguna Beach!
Laguna Beach is always our favorite area to stay for vacation. The house was as advertised, and was actually more spacious than I expected. Everything worked out perfectly. We really didn't see much need for the golf cart, because the house is so close to the beach. But it was a neat experience to cruise in the golf cart to The Carousel (store) and around the neighborhood. The kitchen was well equipped, spacious, and gorgeous! One of our teenagers said, "This kitchen looks like it belongs in a cooking show." My only complaint is that the dishwasher did not seem to clean the dishes very well. I even checked the filter, which was very clean, and used Cascade pods. It was a very minor inconvenience to have to hand wash the dishes. And I would still give the vacation experience and the house all five stars.

The best week ❤️
We just stayed at Happy Times! We had the best week. The home was exactly as described and exactly what we needed. The walk to the beach was so easy and quick! Communication could not have been any better! The only suggestion I have is that I wish there had been a broom, I would have certainly swept up after us daily! And maybe a few more towels and washcloths. Other than that we had everything we needed! We look down to staying again!

Dirty Floors
The floors were dirty. They were never cleaned as I found a pair of socks in a bathroom and a razor cover in another one. The house needs an overall good cleaning.
