Crystal Cove Beach Cottages - Corona del Mar are located within Crystal Cove State Beach between Newport Beach and Laguna Beach. Take a step back in time to an era when prime Southern California shoreline was sparsely populated with small beach cottages that were only visited during the Summer. This small grouping of shorefront cottages were run down, dilapidated shacks only a decade ago, and have since been meticulously restored by the Crystal Cove Alliance. Don't expect luxury pampering similar to other resorts occupying beachfront property in the area. This is an authentic experience of California beach life in the 1950's. Not to mention, this is our favorite SoCal beach. Most cottages come with a kitchen and private bath.
