Sarah and I would love to come again sometime as a special treat. Your loft is beautiful - so spacious and comfortable. It's a real home and we appreciated having all the little extras. It was great to use the bikes to cruise to the pier and the beach. Your street is sheltered and peaceful. The neighbours are smiling and friendly. You have a vast and varied CD and book collection. It really is an oasis. We'll tell our friends.
Recommended for:Sightseeing, families with young children, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay. Jane was very nice and welcoming, and the house itself was exactly how I imagined a Venice home to be - architecturally stunning, light and airy, surrounded by a lush tropical garden. Great interior decor too - lots of interesting paintings on the walls! This house has none of that hoaky vacation rental feel - it's all done very tastefully and stylishly. It was the perfect backdrop our vacation, a beautiful retreat to come back to at the end of long, beach-filled days. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to experience a true taste of Venice.
Recommended for:Adventure seekers, girls getaway, sightseeing, families with young children, pet owners, people with disabilities, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers, tourists without a car.

stayed here in july/august 2009 and had the best holiday of my life. myself and 6 of my friends travelled from Ireland felt completely at home here and hope to return next summer. Jane provided us with everything we needed for a great time. The house is fantastic and is worth every cent. Thanks for everything Jane.

We had a great vacation and really enjoyed staying at your house. It was a great centre for everything we wanted to do in the LA area. It is close to Venice Beach, the shops and restaurants on Abbot Kinney, Marina Del Ray and Santa Monica. The other essential tourist spots, such as Hollywood, are easily accessible. LAX is quite close by, which is a bonus after an 11 hour transatlantic flight. The house does have a real "oasis" feel to it and I particularly liked waking up to the birdsong every morning.

This is a great place for a family or group that needs 3 bedrooms. The house is homey: everything you need, but nothing fancy. Our family of 7 felt very comfortable. The owner is accessible, the location is convenient, and the neighborhood is charming. Street parking is easy. My favorite feature was the beautiful skylighted ceiling in the living area. It would be a pleasure to stay there again someday.

I rented this house in May 08 for my family, who came over from Ireland for my wedding. They loved every single aspect - the house is beautiful, clean and comfortable, with a beautiful outdoor upstairs patio, plus a garden, and it is on a lovely quiet street, yet close enough to the beach. Most importantly, Jane, the owner, was a total doll who made everything easy for us. Thanks Jane, my family have beautiful memories of their time in Venice!
