We loved staying in this hip home! GREAT location, walked everywhere. Parking is a bit of a challenge but we always managed to find a spot. The owner was very attentive with any issues. We greatly appreciated that! Comfortable and spacious and well decorated! Private and secure. Lovely all the way around.

Pleasure to host, would love to see them back again. Thank you.
We were in town for a collage graduation. Our family of 6 adults enjoyed the house and the location. There was plenty of space and walkable access to both Abbott Kinney shops and restaurants and the beach. Trickiest part of the stay was the on property parking. It’s very tight, even for compact cars and took planning and careful maneuvering.

Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy
value for money issue
while the house is nice the value for money is below expectation as we experienced essential items missing (i.e. paper towels, broom, tissues, detergent for laundry) or not working ( no gas in grill, no lighter to) or very old and not properly working (i.e. dryer smells and does not really dry). One would simply expect more for 950 USD per night before tax, cleaning, etc.

So sorry to hear you had a bad experience, we dont usually encounter these issues. But if you would have reached out we would have given you more information where to find all these items you needed. Unfortunately we dont provide paper towels for enviromental reasons but should have had the rest of the things you needed. I hope you will come back as we would love to make it up to you with a family and friend discount. Thank you for your feedback.
Great location for our activities in Santa Monica. We were lucky and found parking right in front of the building on Main Street twice! The parking at the property looked more challenging than it actually was. Loved it, thank you!
The house was perfect. You couldn’t have a better location next to all the shops and restaurants on Abbot Kinney, plus you are next to the beach, dog park, and much more. We cooked dinner one night and hung out on the deck and relaxed. It’s a cool place. Would recommend it.
Nice space with cool California vibes! Lacking a few essentials.
Great spot to vacation! The property was a short 5 min walk to the Venice boardwalk. The alleyway got a little loud at night but I felt comfortable behind the secure gate and wall. The property was nice, the bedding was soft and relaxing. The steam shower was amazing! There were plenty of towels and shower essentials and the robes were a nice touch. We couldn’t ever find a broom so that would be helpful to have just because of all the sand. The kitchen was stocked with plenty of pots, pans and dishes. The only thing I would say as constructive criticism is the place needs a deep deep clean and also some reorganization. Most drawers, cabinets and shelves were just stuffed full of random things.

Thank you Rachael for your kind words and constructive criticism.
This home is unique, safe, aesthetically creative and has private and stunning outdoor spaces.
First the communication with the owner and property manager was excellent. We were visiting one of our adult children who is living in LA over the Christmas holidays.
Check in was smooth and instructions were clear. We were 3 in total and the house could easily accommodate the 6 max that I believe the description outlines.
This home is clearly owned by a creative person: interesting artwork, photography and books galore.
The kitchen is small but in an open plan first floor. The oven was not able to be unlocked during our stay but houses have quirks and we adapted.
The weather was rainy and so we couldn’t enjoy the amazing rooftop, huge and comfortable first floor deck/grill/seating. In good weather, there is so much to enjoy outdoors with this property.
We felt safe with the sliding gates that secure the property.
Again, communication was excellent, a sense of welcome was evident. We felt the price was more than fair for this unique home.
Thank you for sharing your home.
Artfully decorated Venice Beach sanctuary tucked in an alley close to Abbot Kinney shops and restaurants and a few short blocks from the beach. Loved the outdoor deck, jewel box of a kitchen, nicely appointed bathrooms with a European feel and wonderful upstairs area with plenty of room to sleep 4. Bold and beautiful photography covers many of the walls, with special treats viewed through exterior windows, along with interesting and eclectic objets d'art throughout the 2-level space. Oval bathtub with wonderful lighting made for a zen experience. Top deck is perfect for soaking up the Cali sunshine. Owner/manager were extremely fair in requests and thoroughly responsive on app. No fault of owner, but location of house is somewhat noisy as it sits off of Main Street and with open windows, there was quite a bit of activity. Do note that alley ways in this area are narrow for pulling a car into the provided gated parking space. Definitely check out this property; it's a sweet pad and we thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay.
Lovely home, with a healthy and warm charm. Perfect getaway spot, convenient for a variety of tastes. Host was consistently attentive to all requests and queries.

Annette was a perfect guest. Kind, respectful, carrying. She is always welcome back.
Very clean, modern and functional guest house. All the amenities we needed for a comfortable and relaxing visit. Perfect for a couple who want to explore Venice Beach and all it has to offer. Ideally located for the beach and local shops and restaurants.

Great location. Very cozy.
Well kept. Clean. Really cute place. We walked everywhere.
The Wifi was great. There was a desk and a table so we each had our own space to work.
Wish there were parking, more clothes hangers in the closets, and cable.
I probably would get this for my teenage boys next time they go to LA.
