Our family of five (parents, young adults and high schooler) thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The spacious layout suited our needs so that we could both enjoy each other’s company and recharge as needed. As an early riser traveling with late sleepers, this was ideal. I especially enjoyed peaceful homemade breakfasts outdoors in the beautiful private backyard. My sons and husband loved playing pool.
The house is located on quiet, safe residential street and is approximately 3.5 miles from the Venice Beach boardwalk. It feels like a refuge after a day of exploring L.A. We had a rental car which we used quite a bit, mixed with a bit of UBER use. It was very helpful to be able to park the car in the driveway. All in all, this rental house was a fantastic place to vacation. While not in the heart of say, walking distance from Santa Monica’s offerings, the ample space to relax, cook, sleep in or wake up early, all while being a short distance from wherever we wanted to go, was SO much better than being crammed into a hotel room.
