The Laguna Beach Independent
Manzanita Cottages was featured in the popular Village Laguna Charm House Tour, featuring central-village charmers to modern masterpieces.

Each year, about 800 residents and visitors spend an enchanting Sunday visiting some of Laguna’s most beautiful and interesting homes.  Tickets for the tour, now in its 33rd year, are $35 pre-sale and $40 on the day of the event, if available.  Tickets can be obtained by writing P.O. Box 1309, Laguna Beach 92652.  Additional information can be obtained by calling (949) 472-7522.

Specially chartered trams will leave continuously from the Festival of Arts bus stop on Laguna Canyon Road beginning at noon.  Trams will circulate among the homes, return to the Festival area and the Act V parking lot throughout the day.  The last tram departs at 3:30 p.m. and homes are closed fro viewing at 5:30 p.m.  Trams take participants to each home, but walking and stair climbing are required and comfortable shoes are a must.  Civic leaders will be among homes and tram guides.  The tour can be completed at one’s own pace, normally taking two to three hours.

Proceeds from the tour benefit Village Laguna, group that supports political leaders that preserve and protect Laguna’s village character.
