- Minimum stay:N/A
- Internet:Yes
- Pets allowed:No
- Wheel chair accessible:Yes
This stunning, sophisticated, and serene single-family home is in the exclusive, upscale "North of Montana" area of Santa Monica. It's a private and extremely quiet setting with multimillion dollar homes on beautiful and spacious tree-lined streets, yet it's less than 2 blocks from the famous Montana shopping district (the locals' favorite area for many high-end boutiques, restaurants, bars, cafes, frozen yogurt/ice cream shops, movie theatres, yoga and massage studios, etc.), and it's convenient to the beach.
This home features a wealth of amazing outdoor space, and a high-end outdoor BBQ for cook-outs. The huge back yard is absolutely stunning, with its lush landscaping and its large, covered, natural flagstone patio, which is fully furnished with table, patio chairs, and lounge chairs. And there is a 2nd completely private patio, which is also lushly landscaped and furnished with table and chairs. When you stay at this home, you are surrounded by natural beauty, with colorful flowers and lovely foliage and trees everywhere you look!
The house itself is spacious, and beautifully maintained and updated. It has gorgeous architectural details, and tremendous character that feels warm and comfortable. In addition to all the outdoor space, the house's features and amenities include:
* 3 bedrooms (the 3rd can also be used as an office);
* 2 full bathrooms;
* a lovely dining room;
* a huge, formal living room with fireplace;
* a great, well-equipped kitchen (including a top-of-the-line Miele stainless steel dishwasher and all the appliances, cookware, dishware, and utensils you need);
* a laundry room with top-of-the-line Bosch front-loading washer and dryer;
* lots of windows;
* hardwood floors;
* top-of-the-line beds with incredibly soft linens (master bedroom has a king; 2nd bedroom has your choice of a a king or 2 extra-long twins; and 3rd bedroom has an extremely comfortable queen sofa sleeper that incorporates a patented orthopedic design);
* 2 large, high-def, flat-screen TVs (52-inch & 50-inch), both with Blu-ray DVD players, cable, and lots of channels;
* a great sound system;
* a well-equipped office, featuring a Mac computer, high-speed internet, and wi-fi;
* free parking;
* unlimited free phone calls anywhere within the U.S.; and
* plenty of bed linens, towels, and bath supplies.
The house and its location are ideal for vacationers. You can relax at the house, or enjoy a BBQ while admiring the lush landscaping on one of the two amazing patios. And when you want to explore, you can take a short walk, bike ride, or drive to Santa Monica's beach, its famous Amusement Pier (with its fabulous Ferris Wheel!), and its bustling Promenade (with shops, restaurants, movie theaters, and other attractions), or to LA's best farmers' markets and other abundant recreation, including hiking, swimming, tennis, golf, yoga, and more.
The house's central location also provides easy access to nearby public transportation (the main bus is just 2 short blocks away) and freeways (a 5-minute drive to the 10 or the 405). In addition to Santa Monica, visitors can easily enjoy the natural beauty, the multitude of attractions, and the wealth of culture (from high to pop to sub!) in all the rest of LA, including the famous Boardwalk in Venice Beach, Hollywood and the Walk of Fame, the renowned Getty and LA Contemporary Art museums, and too many great restaurants and bars and cafes and clubs to count!
Additional housekeeping services, as well as private in-home therapeutic massage services, are available upon request. Arrangements for any such services may be made at the time of booking, or at a later time.

Property was great for 5 guys in town for UCLA football game. Wanted to stay relatively close to the beach (19 short blocks away). Short 5 minute drive to Santa Monica shopping and restaurants. Five minute walk to Montana shopping district. Nice neighboirhood and quiet (except for weekday construction on house next door). Used all four beds and couch in tv room (which was very comfortable). Spent most of our time on front patio. . .secluded and very relaxing. Landscaping was beautiful. Wouldn't hesitate to rent again.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers, age 55+, girls getaway.

We rented this incredible property North of Montana and it exceeded our expectations. The neighborhood is gorgeous, one multi-million dollar home next to another with perfectly kept gardens and tranquil sunshine and quiet. Two blocks walking distance to the local grocer and five minutes walk to the best boutiques and restaurants in tawny Santa Monica. The house itself had incredibly comfortable beds and luxury bedding to rival the Ritz Carlton. It has been well appointed and decorated. The wi-fi worked perfectly as did the flat screen TVs and DVR/on demand ent systems. The bathrooms and kitchen have the 1950's tile charm and could use some maintenance of a cabinet latch or two (I added a new can opener to the bevy of kitchen utensils on hand) but the hot water and water pressure was terrific and 2012. The house has the most expensive state of the art washer and dryer I've ever seen. Buddhas in the backyard and flowers and plants so meticulously maintained that I fired my own gardener out of envy at the conclusion of our mini-break. We'll be back.Recommended for: Sightseeing, romantic getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers, age 55+, tourists without a car, girls getaway.

Book this wonderful house for the 2011 Christams break and could not have been happier. We live in Sydney, Australia but visit LA often as my wife is a local Brentwood girl, thus we have family in the area. Everything about the house at was perfect. The location is ideal for the people who like to stroll to wonderfull cafe's, shops and parks in the area. We had some releatives visit who live locally and they where just so taken back by how the house had been presented. This house really provides a perfect setting to visit LA.Recommended for: Sightseeing, romantic getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers, age 55+, tourists without a car, girls getaway.

The Santa Monica house is a fantastic place to stay. When you walk inside you feel as if you are home. Every room is stylishly decorated. The electronics in every room work flawlessly. The front patio is as comfortable as the rear patio. Landscaping is beautiful. We BBQ'ed one evening and enjoyed the Penthouse and Dukes in Malibu. Whole Foods is on Wilshire just a few blocks away. Third Street mall is a fun afternoon. UCLA is just a few minutes away if the 405 interchange lets you get through. We highly recommend the Santa Monica house!!!!Recommended for: Sightseeing, romantic getaway, adventure seekers, families with young children, families with teenagers, age 55+, girls getaway.

Five of us enjoyed a family vacation at this attractive, well-located home in Santa Monica. We were able to walk to restaurants, coffee shops, a bakery, and the beach. The house lived up to our (high) expectations, and we appreciated the owner's immediate attention to replace a burned-out halogen bulb.Recommended for: Sightseeing, romantic getaway.

Our family travelled from Sydney long flights and and 10 nights stay at 19th street in Santa Monica. WOW !!! what a place, the house was absolutely stunning the furnishing was modern and very comfortable, plenty of space and garden area for kids to play, also secure so children dont escape. The beds were the most comfortable we all have ever sleep in at a vacation home. We were well rested after staying at this beautiful home. The location is perfect, quiet yet so close to everything as well. The area is lovely and we felt right at home. The home was very clean and very practical, the home also had everything we needed for our stay. There are local shops close by and Santa Monica Pier was a great place to watch the sun go down. We travelled in and around LA the location worked well we missed alot of heavy traffic by staying at Santa Monica. We would highly recommend this beautiful home to anyone who is looking for excellent comfort & location, which the modern and practical. Have a wonderful stay if you choose to use this stunning home. Best wishes From Sydney AustraliaRecommended for: Sightseeing, romantic getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers.
