About the host
Hosted by T'mimah
Thanks for your interest in staying at the beach bungalow. I enjoy cooking food, especially when using produce from the garden. This supports cultivating special events that make lasting memories. I can help you create some thing special for your stay in Santa Monica. I enjoy playing at the beach, walking the coastline with my feet in the water biking, and hiking. I live in the house adjacent to the beach bungalow with three cats, Tessie, Mo, and Bonnie. I am a working rabbi and run a non profit called Holistic Jew. We have Shabbat and holiday events regularly. If you’re looking for something to do for Shabbat, I can help you arrange a Shabbat experience for your stay. You can find out more about the work we do at www.holisticjew.org and on Facebook
Why they chose this property
I would travel to this neighborhood and spend time at the beach several times a week before living here. It became clear that this was the neighborhood of my heart.
Eventually I was blessed to find my home. This neighborhood is comfortable and safe, and yet eclectic enough to be interesting. A melting pot of dynamic people pass through these locations.
What makes this property unique
We are half a block from the beach, the beautiful Pacific that is. Walking distance to the Santa Monica pier to the right and Venice is to the left. Main Street Santa Monica is two blocks from here. You can rent bikes or walk barefoot on the sand, or pull up a beach chair which we will provide and sit by the sea and drinking its beauty. You may even see a dolphin or two.
