Keywords: House
Our wonderful Craftsman house features gorgeous decor and furnishings, lush landscaping, three idyllic outdoor seating areas, and all the amenities. The house is located in the absolutely enchanting and truly unique neighborhood known as the Venice Walk Streets. Just minutes from the ocean, homes in this coveted and exclusive area face pedestrian-only “Walk Streets” that collectively form a gorgeous botanical garden, with a multitude of stunning flowers, specimen trees, intriguing art pieces, and remarkable architectural design. And the house is on the block of Nowita Place that is well-known as the prime block within all the Walk Streets -- the block that features exceptionally beautiful homes and gardens.
Many celebrities, actors, musicians, directors, writers, and other cultural figures call this area home. Look no further if you want your vacation experience to include culture, beauty, warmth, peace, and relaxation.
Our neighborhood is also perfectly situated for your experience of vibrant Venice and all of its hotspots. While at the house, you'll enjoy a peaceful retreat and the beauty of nature, but walk for just a few minutes and you'll arrive at Abbott Kinney, which is the heart of hip Los Angeles. Here, you can shop for everything, from clothing to home furnishings, at a wide variety of one-of-a-kind boutiques.
When you get hungry, you can try Gjelina (one of LA's premier restaurants), Wabi Sabi (superb sushi), Primitivo (terrific tapas), Lily's (fantastic French), and many other excellent restaurants and cafés. Or you can sample a variety of cuisines from many of LA's best gourmet food trucks, which congregate around The Brig (a well-known bar). If you have a sweet tooth, visit Rockenwagner's bakery or get delicious homemade ice cream at Nice Cream. And when you're ready for nightlife, check out The Brig, The Other Room, Hal's, Roosterfish, and other great bars and entertainment venues.
In just a few minutes, you can walk from Abbot Kinney to Venice's renowned Boardwalk and the beach. The Boardwalk features a brilliant mix of performers, vendors and local characters, all mere steps from the surf and sand. Spend the day exploring, or just relaxing in a beach chair! From the beach, you could walk or ride the bike path north to Santa Monica, with its famous Amusement Pier and Promenade. Or you could go south to Marina del Ray (featuring the world's largest small-boat harbor), Manhattan Beach, and beyond.
The convenient location of the house provides easy access to all of LA's major attractions, with both public transportation and freeways nearby. The vibrancy of this unique spot on the California Coast will fill your day with energy, and yet when you return to the house and its relaxing locale, you’ll hardly believe that so much activity is so close by!

We truly found nirvana on Nowita...early morning runs on the beach, flower-filled walks in the neighborhood, great restaurants and shops on Abbott Kinney, and a quiet and immaculate retreat with heavenly beds at the end of the day after exploring LA! We had an absolutely fabulous time at this wonderful home and can't wait to return! Thank you for your kindness and superb hospitality!!

This great house in an amazing neighborhood was perfect for a long weekend in LA. Ideal home for young families as it is a short walk to Abbot Kinney only 15 minutes to the beach. Expect to stay here again and only wish we could have stayed longer.

We wanted a relaxing place to stay while attending our daughter's graduation from USC. Nowita is an absolutely amazing oasis in Venice. The walk between lovely homes and gardens offered a very unique perspective of homes uninterrupted by traffic. Nowita Place was everything we expected and more. The photos provided a precise picture of the home and everything was really clean and well maintained. We highly recommend Nowita to anyone visiting Los Angeles and the nearby area.

Spent a week there with our family. Great location, close to everything. Could not have asked for a better place to stay. We went from Hermosa Beach to Malibu and did not have to spend much time in the car.

We decided to have a family Christmas in LA with our son who attends UCLA. My husband, daughter, mother and I stayed at the house. It was very well equipped with everything we needed and very comfortable for all of us. My mother loved sitting on the porch and watching the path. Walking through the neighborhood was great and the house is close to shopping and the beach. We plan to be back soon.

This house was perfect for our 5-day vacation to Venice. Well-stocked, incredibly clean, very quiet, and so comfortable. Parking spot was a big plus. As previous reviews indicated, the beds were very comfortable. Had the deepest sleep we've had in a long time. A 20 minute walk to the beach, a 5 minute walk to Abbot Kinney and all its offerings. I would not hesitate to rent again - Elayne was a wonderful and prompt point person. Thanks so much!

We had a fabulous week in Venice! Loved,loved,loved the bungalow! It was exactly as represented, very clean and comfortable, and a perfect fit for our family of 5. It was very private,we felt safe in the neighbourhood and enjoyed lots of walks. One of our favorite vacations ever and would go again in a minute!All kinds of great shopping, miles of beautiful beaches, Lemonade was a favorite for healthy meals.

Everything about the property was lovely: excellent location, quiet, roomy, clean, very comfy beds. It was clear that the home is cared for. We were able to cook many meals in the fully supplied kitchen, which saved a lot on restaurant bills. Many great coffee shops are nearby, and the walk to the beach was about twenty minutes via Abbot Kinney. The feel of the neighborhood is European, with walkways between the homes and parking in the alleys.

Relaxing Wedding Week

Review Submitted: 10/07/10
While in LA for our daughter's wedding, we spent 8 very nice days at the Venice Beach cottage house, and enjoyed it very much. The neighborhood could not be nicer, the house had everything we needed and the owner came right away when we called to get help with our wireless computer hookup on the first day we were in the house. The best foodie recommendation we could give is to go to Lemonade Restaurant on Abbott Kinney for great salads to bring back home for lunch. One of the best aspects to the house is sitting on the front porch in the morning, drinking coffee and saying hello to the friendly people who walk past. Very interesting way the neighborhood was built long ago, with a cozy and safe sidewalk in front of the house, instead of the usual street. The house was so peaceful and wonderful to come home to, after being out in LA traffic and stimulation. It has great beds, including the sofa bed, with plenty of nice linens. Beautiful stay, we highly recommend this house.
