Why they chose this property

A Great Place to Stay in Santa Monica 🌴☀️

Location is very important when you're staying somewhere you're not familiar with. We’re proud to call this a peaceful, welcoming, and safe neighborhood home. We were born and raised in Santa Monica, so we know the area well and truly appreciate what makes this location special.

Our home is in a great central hub, making it easy to reach many of Santa Monica and West Los Angeles’ most popular destinations. The beach is just about a 5-minute drive away, while our neighborhood is far enough from the hustle and bustle of the Pier and busy tourist areas to give you a peaceful place to relax and unwind.

You’ll also be close to restaurants, coffee shops, parks, shopping, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Erewhon, and public transportation.

Whether you’re visiting the beach, exploring Los Angeles, visiting family and friends, working remotely, or simply enjoying a getaway, our location gives you the best of both worlds: close to the action, but peaceful enough to feel at home.

Great location. Great neighborhood. A place where we hope you feel comfortable, welcomed, and right at home. 🏡🌴

What makes this property unique

What Makes Our Property Unique 🌴🏡

What makes our property special is more than just the space. It’s the warm, personal experience we try to create for every guest.

We’re a small family-run home-sharing business, and we genuinely care about making our guests feel comfortable, welcomed, and at home.

Our Casita offers a peaceful, comfortable retreat in a great central location. You’re only about a 5-minute drive from the beach and close to restaurants, coffee shops, parks, shopping, and public transportation.

We also pay close attention to the little things that make a stay more enjoyable, from a clean and comfortable space to thoughtful touches throughout your visit.

For us, hospitality is personal. We don’t just want you to have a place to stay. We want you to feel welcomed, cared for, and like you have a little home away from home in Santa Monica. 🌴❤️
