Opportunity Knocks. Arabella Laguna is a rare trophy property, held under the same ownership
since 1976, offering exceptional versatility and irreplaceable income potential. Currently operating as a
highly successful short-term rental compound, it may also serve as a private residence with

Located at the north end of Gallery Row, the property is minutes to Heisler Park, the beach,
downtown Laguna Beach, shopping, and dining.
