Every aspect of this rental was easy. From communication about the rental, accessing the property, the location close to the beach, LAX, great restaurants, grocery stores, and shopping; it was all easy. Loved the ocean/sunset views and the sprawling layout of the house. Mari, the housekeeper, was gracious and welcoming. A few things to keep in mind: the driveway is steep so use the garage for unloading luggage and those with balance issues,; you can definitely hear planes from LAX from the primary bedroom until 11:00 pm and starting back up by 7:00 am (earplugs were provided but we did without). I did enjoy having the doors open to hear the waves, and the beach is a 5 minute walk. Do not expect this to be a pristine home with all new, 100% perfect furnishings. I might not have noticed the wear and tear quite so much had I not been filling out a form for the owners on check-in about the condition of furniture, etc. sheets, towels and bedding were comfortable, clean, and new. Some closets, dressers, and cupboards are bungee’d off to keep folks out of the owner’s items. No worries about these items, but it is helpful to know to help manage peoples’ expectations. We had a great time and would rent this home again!
