  Our stay was enjoyable and I have no complaints about the residence. Kathryn was very accommodating with answering questions and making sure that we knew everything necessary to make our stay nice. We spent 7 days/nights over the 4th of July. Everything we wanted to do was a pretty easy drive. We would also wake up in the morning and run down to the beach for a stroll/jog along the oceans. I would highly recommend this place and I was stay here again.

  We enjoyed our short stay in Santa Monica. Kathryn was a wonderful hostess. We loved the sweet touches and the bottle of wine! The property was as described and was exceptionally clean and comfortable. The location is on a corner lot and noise from other tenants and people walking by can be heard, but at the end of our busy days this wasn't too disturbing in the early mornings. Santa Monica, Venice Beach and Westwood are all close by and the wonderful amenities in each location are fabulous. Thanks Kathryn!

  A good place to discover Santa Monica and around. Walking distance to the beach. Los Angeles is also very closed.This cottage is quiet and confortable.

  I rented La Casa for a week to visit my son who recently moved to Hollywood. Not being familar with area, I wanted something close to the ocean and hwy. La Casa was perfect! The description and pictures were just as described. Kathryn was an exceptional host, making sure we had everything we needed. The property was clean and well amintained. We especially loved the frontyard patio area to sit and enjoy our morning coffee and nightly glass of wine. The beach and promenade were within walking distance. We loved visiting the Farmers Market in Santa Monica, Venice beach and the famous Abbott Kinney street. We will be using La Casa for our next visit and I would definitely recommend it. Thank you Kathryn and Ceasar for a wonderful stay.

  The location is excellent, a stone's throw away from the beach and promenade ( where you can find all sorts of dining, entertainment and shopping). CASA offered modern amenities, including flat-screen TV, renovated kitchen, wireless internet, laundry onsite...we had everything we needed at our fingertips. Kathryn was always available and attentive for any needs that may arise. I highly recommend staying at the CASA for a great vacation getaway!

  Great location and a comfortable clean house in a quiet street. Everything is within walking distance and it was easy to catch the Big Blue Bus to go downtown.

  My husband, daughter, daughter's friend and I stayed in La Casa by the Sea in mid August 2012. It was a very good value and an excellent location to the beach, pier and Promenade. We had 5 days in Santa Monica and the weather was perfect and having more than a hotel room was so great. We loved eating breakfast out front as well as enjoying a glass of wine outside in the evenings.

  This is a great little house in Santa Monica. It's a bit off the beaten path but close to everything. We walked to the pier, which took about 20 minutes. The 3rd St promenade is about the same. Everything you would need such as groceries, wine, coffee, etc. are within a 3 minute drive. We had a total of 7 people, 3 adults and 4 children, which was a tight fit but not that bad. The owner could not have been more accommodating; my wife left an item in the house and it was returned within a week (thanks again Kathryn!). Would definitely stay here again.

  We really like the location. We've stayed at this property twice in two years while travelling to L.A. for our son to have surgeries. The first time for almost three weeks and the second time for a week. It's close to the doctor's office at Cedar's Sinai going against traffic and close to Whole Foods, Trader Joes, and Raising Hearts bakery in Culver City as well as the beach when we stayed long enough last year for the patient to be up to going. Our kids are already asking to go back for just a regular vacation not as part of a medical trip. Thank you so much for putting the portable heater in the closet. My son totally needed/used that for a couple days post op as he was having a little trouble regulating his body temperature. It was so great to have that in the closet as I never would have imagined we would have needed it. Lot's of great shopping at thrift stores and being foodies we hit up Penzy's store both years before heading home. The greatest discovery though was the Raising Hearts bakery which is so super close being able to get freshly baked gluten free and vegan baked goods that you want to eat so far from home is the piece de resistance. We brought back four dozen bagels this year!

We generally require a week min unless spare days between booking or last minute
1 car parking included - parking pass for street parking.  If you wish to park in driveway right in front of unit, there is an extra $10/night or $50/week charge for this usage.  Please request driveway when making reservation.Cancellation Policy:
Full refund less any credit card/PayPal fees if canceled within 30 days or more prior to arrival. That may give me time to rebook your dates. Since this is not a hotel & I don't have other rooms to take the place of a vacancy, it's a hardship for me if someone cancels at the last minute. Therefore, if it's less than 30 days, it will depend on if I can find a replacement guest for those nights.
