Crystal Cove

Oh, I love Crystal Cove.

The cottages right on the Beach are freaking phenomenal. I keep meaning to rent one for a weekend, and have the most fantastic Beach Party Ever ... but you have to book them months and months in advance, and I never seem to have money that far in advance.

This building was the home and office of the Irvine Company employee that managed Crystal Cove until the company sold the land to the state. It's now the visitor's center.

Another of the un-restored cottages:

This building is at the center of the community. It was a hamburger stand and a store. later it was an artist's studio. It now houses exhibits.

A cute Cottage:

This is one of our favorites:

These are some of the un-restored cottages we saw from the bluff above:

On the way to the shuttle that took us back to our car, looking back towards the ocean. This is the original road into the community, with the manager's cottage on the left.
