One of the historic landmarks in Laguna Beach is a 1920's house that is commonly referred to as "The Ark" and is ideally located in the popular oceanfront community of Moss Point.  This is a classic example of Arts and Crafts architecture from the 1920's and was originally designed by Jean L. Egasee who built this unique home on the ocean's edge.  The house offers direct access to the sandy beach and features three bedrooms plus a separate guest house over the garage.  Modest in size with a total of 2,000 square feet that sits on a 8,476 square foot beachfront lot.  This is a brand new listing that just came on the market 2 days ago and is ideal for those who love historic properties as this property is eligible to be on the National Registry of Historic

Emerald Bay is well known for being one of the best places to find ocean view properties in all of Laguna Beach, California.  The market for homes located on the oceanfront in Emerald Bay is also picking up with the recent pending sale at 168 Emerald Bay priced at $20,995,000.  There is a lot of history to the oceanfront market here that explains some of these price jumps.  First, 168 Emerald Bay has had a rich history of home sales over the year.  

Back in 2007, this magnificent oceanfront estate home that features 5,750 square feet of living space sold for a record $19,000,000.  This was truly a record price at the time and right before the market went down.  The owners of that property then sold the property in 2012 for $16,000,000 a record price at

Laguna Beach has many oceanfront communities and areas to choose from but very few offer coastline views of the South Laguna Coastline like 31713 Seacliff offers.  The Seacliff street jets out into the ocean and offers five unique properties that have some of the best views to be found in Laguna Beach.  The property is the very first home on this cliff side that offers direct steps down to Toutava Beach which is very hard to find in Laguna Beach.  The property spans 3,300 square feet on multiple levels that all offer coastline ocean and white water views.  A total of 5 large bedrooms, 4.5 baths and a guest casita make this a very unique oceanfront offering with a huge Master suite with it's own private ocean view deck, fireplace and walk-in closet.  The

The Woods Cove area of Laguna Beach, California is prominently known as one of  best places to the find oceanfront homes in the Laguna Village area.  One of the reasons for this is the close proximity to the downtown area that is filled with some of the best restaurants and retails stores in all of the beach towns in South Orange County.  Woods Cove main oceanfront street is known as "Ocean Way" which stretches a four block radius from Moss Street to Pearl Street with 22 luxury oceanfront homes that offer direct and unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean.  Along this stretch is a cliff side that extends out to the ocean and is commonly referred to as Arch Point.  Arch Point has three homes that are located on this cliff side with the most impressive home

The Twin Points Estate is probably one of the most recognizable and most photographed spots in all of Laguna Beach, California.  Situated at the tip of Marine Drive in North Laguna sits a large parcel of land that spans 74,052 square feet according to Realist Tax records.  Commonly referred to as "Twin Points" for the two separate sections of land that stretch out into the Pacific Ocean.  If you were to stand the very tip of either of these points you would view Emerald Bay to the north and Main Beach to the south. 

In today's real estate market it's almost unheard of to have this much oceanfront land associated with one property.  Typical ocean front homes will be located on around a 10,000 square foot lot with lots between 20,000 to 40,000 square feet

One of the best hidden spots to find both oceanfront and ocean view homes is on a small street called "Seacliff Drive."  This small and winding road leads down from Pacific Coast Hwy and gets out into the Pacific Ocean on a steep cliff as pictured below.

Magnificent homes sit directly on the cliff with great coastline and white water ocean views. The South Laguna area is widely known for having lower priced oceanfront and ocean view homes and this street is no exception. Currently, an oceanfront home sits directly above the sand and is listed for $6,488,000. One of the unique features of the home besides the great views is the direct access to the sandy beach. The home incorporates a path that leads down to the sand that sits in front of the Laguna

Gaviota is one of the premier streets in the Laguna Village area of Laguna Beach to find oceanfront homes.  The street runs parallel with the ocean just south of the main beach and downtown area of Laguna Beach and spans a 5 block radius.  Many of the oceanfront homes located here are very unique and offer direct access to the sandy beach which is not true for all ocean front homes found in Laguna Beach.  The small stretch of beaches offer some of the best surf breaks and is really spectacular to watch the surfers catch waves just outside your back door.

There are all great restaurants in this area like "The Deck" and "Driftwood Kitchen" which offers lunch and dinner right next to the sandy beach.  Walking to all the galleries, boutique stores and

Ruby Street Park is located on the ocean front street of "Ocean Way" in Laguna Beach.  Better known as the Woods Cove area, the homes surrounding the park date back to the early 1920's.  One historic home has just come on the market that is truly amazing.  The home embodies the perfect balance of historic charm with modern amenities on three levels of this oceanfront home.  Originally built in 1928, the Tudor style beach cottage has one of the best locations with views of Arch Point and beyond to the south and Moss Point to the north.  The park is conveniently located next to this home which adds additional space and avoids future development of the land which is controlled by the city.

The views simply amazing from this location with a private circular

Situated in the Thousands Steps beach area in Laguna Beach is a rare offering for homes that are literally built and located on the sandy beach. There is very common to see this is neighboring beach towns like Newport Beach and Dana Point where homes have been built right on the sand. Laguna Beach is a much different topography with homes being built on the cliff side or on the ocean front and rarely on the sand. Thousands Steps Beach is located in the South Laguna area and actually has three homes that are located on the sand.

What makes this really unusual is that these homes are part of another home located at the top of the street known as "Coast Hwy." Since it literally takes 1000 steps to get down to the beach the homes have a cable system that

Most buyers let us know they are looking for a deal and it wasn't just last year that most ocean front homes started well above the $5 million dollar price point. There have been several listings that have come on the market at very aggressive prices after being on the market before. Case in point, 32027 Point Place was on the market for $5,2000,00 and then $4,790,000 when the home was taken off the market for the holidays. Now the listing has come back on the market at a very aggressive price of $4,490,000. I love this house for a number of reasons. First, it has a prime location at the end of the oceanfront cul-de-sac street of Point Place. The coastline views of Thousands Steps Beach as pictured below are really amazing and can be seen from multiple
