Victoria Beach | Oceanfront Cottage Above the Mermaid Pool
Above one of Laguna Beach's most photographed stretches of coastline sits a classic 1940s three-bedroom, three-bath cottage — the kind of oceanfront home that doesn't get built anymore. From the private deck, the view drops straight down into the "Mermaid Pool," a natural ocean-fed tide pool carved into the rocks, with the landmark "Pirate Tower" just to the north. Inside, sun-bleached wood ceilings, deep window seats, and a wraparound deck frame an unbroken run of Pacific horizon all the way to Catalina Island. It's a property built for golden hour — the kind of light that's made this corner of Victoria Beach a fixture on postcards and Instagram feeds alike.
