Year Purchased: 1998

Why the Owner Chose Venice Beach

My wife Sylvia and I bought this duplex as an income property in 1998, and we rented it out to two separate tenants for years. Then in 2002, we decided to live the dream and move to the beach, where our daughter Mika, 11, could have her day in the sun and surf. We originally used the downstairs unit for our offices, but we lost the need for that and decided to rent it out in 2007.

The Unique Benefits at this Duplex

The unit is on Venice Beach two short blocks south of the Venice pier and two blocks from the Venice Canals. Just north is Washington Blvd, which terminates at the Venice pier, and has many eclectic shops, restaurants and bars. On Venice Beach you can lay out in the sun, swim, surf, take a walk, play volleyball, etc. Just half a mile north on the boardwalk is the crazy/famous part of Venice Beach, with stores and street vendors and artists, Muscle Beach, the chain-saw juggler, etc. On the boardwalk you can rent bikes and skates, eat, shop, or just stroll and enjoy the sights.

 

Owner's Map of Venice Beach

I moved from Texas to California in 1977 to attend graduate school at UCLA. In 1979, a buddy of mine convinced me to move to Venice and I have never left. IMHO, Venice is the best part of L.A. It is a funky bohemian beach town that includes the world-famous Venice Beach and the almost-hidden Venice Canals.

    Christel ,
    • We stayed at this beautiful beach apartment in August 2009. We were two Norwegian couples in our late twenties on a two-week trip to California, and spent 8 days at this residence. It was our first time booking privately online, and were scared we would be ripped off, but everything was by the book. The apartment was clean, nicely furnished and had what you needed of cooking utensils. It's situated just a block from the part of Venice Beach where everything is happening, but the waves are all you hear at night. Jeff, the owner, lives upstairs and let us use surfboards, body boards, etc. A real cool guy who lets you have your privacy, but offers a helping hand if he can:) Taking a cab to The Rainbow Bar & Grill in Hollywood was a 60 dollar ride, but well worth it:D Also highly recommend the Tuesday night jam at The Brig in Venice/Santa Monica. Hope to come back soon:) Thanks again Jeff, and hope to see you again sometime:) Sincerely Karina, Torstein, Terje and Christel

      We just got home and I wanted you to know that we loved the place. You can't beat the location and we were very comfortable. Patti couldn't have been nicer. We hope to have the opportunity to rent from you again.

    • Some friends and I stayed here for a week in late November last year. It’s a lovely condo in a great beachfront location. Nice modern décor with ample seating. We would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the LA area. The landlord/owner was great and very accommodating. It will definitely be our first choice when next visiting LA.

    • This is a great condo. The location is right on the beach, walk out the door and you are in the sand. The location is perfect if you want to be in Venice beach. You really can walk to many shops/ restaurants. 3rd st. is a longer walk, but we did it. The beds are really comfy and the sheets were fabulous. There are 2 great showers in nice sized bathrooms. Oh, and the TV was a treat!! We would highly reccomend this place. Good for families of 4 or 2 couples!
