      Wedding trip
      We were traveling for a wedding at the Montague. This is an excellent alternative to a hotel stay. Very close to this resort. Would stay here again. Would not consider otherwise.

      Perfect location
      Exactly what was needed for family of 5 on a 4 day getaway. Great location(10 min walk to one of the most beautiful beaches, treasure island and 5 min walk to the beach across the street). Able to wake up every morning and enjoy coffee and the ocean. Stocked with more then enough linen and toiletries. Prompt and attentive hosts. Never had a problem. Parking spot is tight(good for sedan) and steep flight of stairs up to the penthouse (not a big issue). Everything was great.

      Wonderful!!
      We loved staying here. The apartment is beautiful and interesting, AND immaculate. The patio is so lovely and the rooftop terrace is a special treat. The space accommodated our family —four adults and a 19 month old—quite well. The host was so personable and helpful, both before our travels and while we were there! An absolutely delightful stay!

      Stayed here 5 nights with my 80-yr-old parents and we honestly couldn’t have enjoyed it more. What a well-appointed and beautiful spot! Everyone involved was wonderfully attentive and friendly. Really can’t say enough - what a gem!

      Fabulous
      Great location and lively property. The bedding was amazing. I live in the back country where there is no traffic, therefore extremely quiet. This location was close in proximity to so much but unfortunately the bedrooms are located on the street side so if your not used to quiet (like my brother) but you may want earplugs if your anything like me…again the bedding was worth it! Great place, would highly recommend.

      Laguna Gem is awesome
      Pictures don't do justice. This is real Laguna. Artwork, decor, and attention to detail is impeccable. Please add a Brita water container is the one thing to add. Recommended to all my local friends.
