Beach Bungalow

We had a great experience at the property. We stayed for a few days for a graduation at LMU, the location was perfect. The house was clean, the instructions were clear and the host was very low key but responsive. Highly recommend!

A gem in the neighborhood

Had an incredible time lounging on the sunny patio, leisurely riding bikes to the beach, and exploring Venice and Marina del Rey on foot from the house. It's in an incredible location and is exactly as quaint and welcoming as the listing suggests.

Lovely property in an upscale part of Venice. Only problem we had was that the TV does not tie free into ESPN or some other channel that provided direct full online sports, which made it difficult to watch the U.S. Open in the evening without subscribing to an extra sevice.

Great Stay

We enjoyed our selves so much. Our 5 year old daughter loved exploring the small yard. We loved watching the humming birds from the front patio. The house has everything you need. The kitchen has so many helpful supplies for cooking. Walking around the neighborhood was a joy. Parking was so easy, the street is so quiet and calm. The location is great. We’d love to come back.

Perfect Location

We loved this rental, it was in the perfect quiet location, walk to the beach. The house was the perfect size for us. We loved the front yard and spent a lot of time out there. It's in the perfect location to visit several neighboring cities, Malibu, Hollywood, Beverly Hills and Santa Monica. We hit up a couple of places the hosts recommended and enjoyed everything. The price was right!

Great Property!

Everything was fantastic! Only downfall was that the listing said walking distance to beach, restaurants, etc. but for those of us that are athletically challenged, it was misleading :). Great neighbor, great host and the front porch was perfect for morning coffee and chatting with neighbor. Everyone we encountered was super-friendly. Would stay again!

Absolute amazing! Wish we could stay all year!

A slice of heaven … beautiful home and perfect location. We have enjoyed our stay here immensely and Rose and David were so welcoming and helpful. The neighborhood is quiet with plenty of parking — the front patio is perfect all hours of the day to relax and enjoy the California beach weather. We enjoyed the bikes they left for us to take a leisurely ride to the Venice and Santa Monica boardwalk- not to far away at all— and walking distance to the trendy Abbott Kinney street with the most amazing restaurants. We’ve loved every minute of our stay and would definitely return!

A comfortable landing spot for a family of four

My family absolutely loved this cottage and would rent again if visiting Marina del Rey. We appreciated the proximity to Venice and loved walking the cute neighborhood. It was about a 10-min walk to the beginning of Abbott Kinney and another few mins to the canals, but with our kids we decided to drive most days to the beach and park for 6 in the lot. So much to do and see there! The house was just really comfortable and allowed us to spread out and have our own quiet spaces after a busy day. The streaming options were great and easy to access, as was the Internet (the Wifi name gave my kids a chuckle). The only thing I'd say is with one bathroom and no fan, be prepared for a few awkward moments and waiting to use the shower/toilet.

Could not have been better.. from location to amenities.. owners were very interactive and worked hard to get us an early check in . Location is perfect.. walking distance to many spots. Neighborhood is beautiful.. house had every amenity needed and then some.. front and back outdoor seating was a bonus. Will be our go to now that our son has moved to LA .. you will not be disappointed..

A wonderful getaway in Marina del Rey

We visited David's cottage for a short stay in LA before seeing our daughter off to college, and we enjoyed our time there so much, we wish we could have stayed longer. The neighborhood is lovely, great for dog-walking, and the neighbors very welcoming. The quiet of the street makes for a great contrast to the busyness of Washington Boulevard, but at the same time, the beach, shopping, and restaurants are only minutes away. David was an accommodating and genial host, and the house had everything we needed. It was so relaxing to have morning coffee or afternoon drinks out on the deck. Can't wait to return!

Righteous

Where to start?! David’s home is in a beautiful neighborhood close to Venice beach and Abbott Kinney shopping. Lots of amenities including bikes, a grill, relaxing front patio in the sun, plush master bed, and a double shower with great water pressure. David was a pleasure to work with in the lead up to our reservation, and would totally recommend staying at his property.

About the host

Hosted by David Brown

Host profile image
As avid travelers ourselves, we take pride in offering a fun, relaxing and honest experience for fellow travelers.
Nothing makes us happier than when we receive a review from a guest who was completely satisfied with our home while they were enjoying west LA and Marina Del Rey/Venice/Santa Monica/Malibu. For those visiting those are the famed areas from south to north.
We are also avid foodies. To that end, please bear with us while we provide some of our faves, below:

LOCAL FAVES
Scopa - walking distance. Great selection of spirits. Hearty italian. We love the meatballs, the calamari and the pasta dishes.

Wabi on Rose - a bike ride or 5 min car ride. Great sushi! Make sure you try the Rick James Roll.

The Butcher’s Daughter - Vegetarian restaurant on Abbot Kinney. Great Brunch. Delicious watermelon mimosa.

The Lobster - At the edge of the Santa Monica pier. Looks like a tourist trap from the outside but has delicious seafood, specifically, its namesake.

Shutters - if you could have one last glass of afternoon rose before you die, my spot would be here. Right on the ocean in Santa Monica, impeccable views. Food is decent, not great.

Abbot Kinney Street - named the “coolest street in America” by GQ magazine. Great shops and restaurants.

Coffee fans will want to try any/all of: Blue Bottle Coffee, TOMS coffee (great hideaway lawn in the backyard), Intelligentsia coffee is legendary also.
Restaurants - Gjelina has been popular for years. We also love The Tasting Kitchen

If you decide to take a trip to Manhattan Beach don’t miss these restaurants:

Manhattan Beach Post (MBP) - A favorite brunch spot, but dinner is also great. Throw your diet to the wind and spring for a biscuit. Worth the carbs, promise.
The Strand - expansive glass and views of the ocean. Great salads/service and other menu options. Lunch or dinner both work.
Fishing With Dynamite - Great seafood and oysters. I like equally (actually a bit better) to MBP

Why they chose this property

This neighborhood is a tucked away, quiet pocket adjacent to some of the best things to do/restaurants/walks/hikes in all of Los Angeles. We love saying hi to passing neighbors in the community as they walk by with their dogs. We love going on casual bike rides in the quiet streets or to destinations like Abbot Kinney, the boardwalk and to see friends.

What makes this property unique

Our property has a unique benefit of being quiet, away from the noise...and at the same time we have access to restaurants and vibrancy of Marina Del Rey. Also it is rare to have a home in MDR (vs a condo or apt) and we have tree lined streets for added character.
