1953 S Coast Hwy presents a unique opportunity to acquire a recently renovated mixed-use investment in Laguna Beach with approved short-term lodging and supplemental retail income. The property consists of approximately 3,043 SF across three levels on a 4,000 SF lot, featuring 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and expansive living space with 180-degree ocean views.
The residential unit is well-suited for premium short-term rental demand, offering multi-level living, sound insulated walls to reduce road noise, a private backyard with jacuzzi, solar, EV charging, garage and driveway parking. The property benefits from an established and active short-term lodging permit that allows for ongoing, year-round operation, subject to standard City compliance. Importantly, the permit is already included within Laguna Beach’s capped inventory of approved units and runs with the land, providing a durable and difficult-to-replicate operating position.
The retail component adds a second income stream and is currently leased on a month-to-month basis, with market rent estimated at $4,000 per month.
Opportunities to acquire a dual-income coastal asset with existing, transferable short-term rental approval in Laguna Beach are extremely limited, positioning this as both a lifestyle and investment play.
