The Mermaid Cottage

So, about a month ago now we had been visiting my sister in Sacramento for 12 days and had an invitation to stay with our friends Jerry and Dalton and a beach house in Laguna for the following weekend.  We drove down to L.A. for a couple of days , where Derek and Jerry had some calls business, and the girls and I decided we wouldn't mind hanging out at the beach.  We even caught up with some of our friends who live in the area.  All good fun!!! 

 But, here is where we ended up....the coziest little cottage.  Luckily Dalton's sister is the owner and we got a good price, but I think rent is about triple my mortgage for a week.  Anyway...

This is the front door.  Sooo cute...

(Sign says:  "memories you'll presevre for the rest of your life." It hangs on the mantel.)

and this sign represents everything...romance, great memories, our little family...the perfect summer stop!

We enjoyed this place and felted so blessed to have stayed here...

This is the little porch on the front of the house, a perfect spot for adult beverage and relaxation.

And then you enter the little kitchen.  Don't you just love the red refridgerator?  

The view from the living room...breathtaking!

This is the upstairs living room complete with a port hole from a real sunkin ship.  So cute!

Here is the upstairs bedroom.  A deck overlooking the front porch below.

And this is the downstairs bar that walks out to the back porch and bbq.  We enjoyed hanging out by the fire after the kids were tucked in.

Dalton was refusing to have her picture taken.  Every one (about 4 pictures) has her hand in front of her face.

We crashed in this cute little room downstairs after some hard beach time.  Every room was decorated so cute.  Liked I said...we were blessed.

Cheers to a wonderful stay at the mermaid cottage!

I will do another post with our beach pics.
