Loved this place!! 10/10 recommended!

We LOVED this home!! It felt so quaint. The rooms were so cute, and the beds were very comfortable!! Kitchen was stocked with all of the necessities too as we did some light cooking for breakfast. Location was central to a lot, and a short walk away from Whole Foods for groceries!! Anywhere we needed to go was a short drive away too so that was a plus. Host was super sweet, and ensured our stay was comfortable. 10/10 recommend and will book this place again if I return to Santa Monica! Fit my family of 4 perfectly.

Beautiful home and wonderful stay

We walked in the door and both said “wow”! The home was very clean and very nicely decorated. TV’s in all bedrooms, living room and family room. Adequate paper products and towels, comfy bed, great showers, and a very large space overall. The little outside garden is very nice but it was too chilly to sit out and enjoy it. The neighborhood felt very safe, and Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, Walgreens and several restaurants a block away. Ample parking on the street as well. Host was great! Highly recommend!

Fun with family

The house is exactly as described and perfect living space for the six of us who stayed there. The host was incredibly communicative and answered all of my questions right away. We were able to go food shopping at Trader Joe’s to get snacks and drinks for the house and parking was never an issue. The only suggestion I would make is a few more drinking glasses In the kitchen. Other than that, it was wonderful!

Nice house, but unreasonable neighbour

I originally booked this house to house my teammates for a weekend tournament. We are all adults aged 45+ and responsible people. We have all travelled around the world so this was not our first rodeo with VRBO, but we had a few concerns with our stay here: 1. As we were all flying from different locations across the continent, we were not all arriving at the same time. On our first night, our Ubers arrived at the house at the same time so we greeted each other on the street. As we walked to the house to access our keys, one of the neighbours poked his head out to tell us to be quiet. While I understand that this is a quiet neighbourhood, we were not partying, but rather talking while unlocking doors. The guy just kept harping, very rudely, on how much noise we were making. Talk about a cold welcome. 2. A recommendation would be please put proper toilet paper in the house. We were all very frustrated at how thin the toilet paper was in all the bathrooms, so we bought our own. The house, in general, was very bare bones in terms of supplies. For the price, we were expecting a little more. There wasn’t even a bin for recycling. 3. On our last day, I got notified by the owner about charging us extra for the 5th person in the house. While the cost wasn’t a concern, it was the principle. The VRBO ad had indicated that the house can host up to 6 people, but nothing with reference to extra costs based on the number of people booked.

Great visit

The property was clean and well appointed. We enjoyed the little patio and it was a bonus to have a full size washer and dryer. There were also beach towels which was a plus. We got there very late but we were able to get in without difficulty. It was a little hard to see the house numbers in the dark because they are posted on part of the building that is not illuminated. Overall it was a great location.

Family farewell

Little did we know that one week after our visit to see our ailing sister, she would pass. In retrospect, this home was logistically perfect for our nightly family dinner as our sister could be comfortable on the reclining leather couch while we sat at the dining room table. The four evenings the five of us spent with our sister will always be a memory that we cherish in a very special way. The first floor layout of the house made it possible for us to have this memory.The appliances in the kitchen were top of the line and all worked well. This allowed us to cook dinner and celebrate the Easter holiday with traditional foods. However the number of plates, salad plates, bowls was limited to the number of guests who were staying in the home. While the rooms are spacious and accommodating, and the sheets were superb, towels were less so and toilet paper was in short supply. We appreciated the kitchen cooking pots and sharp knives. We recommend that dishcloths be added as the small sponge provided was insufficient to properly clean surfaces. Of particular note was the beauty of the side outside area - especially in the evening. All in all, this was a lovely home and in retrospect accommodated our visit better than we could have anticipated. The neighborhood is quiet and accessibility to Trader Joe's, Whole Foods , Tartine's and other lo9cal eateries is within short walking distances. The location is ideal and parking was never a problem.

Dear Guests! We always dreamed to live near the ocean and our dream realized 25 years ago when we purchased this home. Over the years, we put lots of efforts to make it comfortable and unique, filled with good vibes and memories. Like most people who discover Santa Monica, for us, it was love at first sight and we hope it will be the same for you. We have recently retired, and, in December 2021, we have opened doors of our home to visitors from all over the world.

The house will tell you a lot about us.

We love to travel, and we bring a unique picture frame from every country and place we have visited. Dream with us about your next trip looking at this unique display of images from all over the world.

We love gardening and you can feel it in our one-of-a-kind, oasis, Zen patio that was inspired by the Bel Air Hotel gardens. It has a mixture of natural greenery and artificial plants to cover hard to grow areas, fountain, multiple décor items and handmade Tiffany lights and lanterns. It is just magic!

We love décor. Each room has its own wall decorative finish, such as Venetian plaster, pearl, handmade stencils, custom tiles and faux paints.

We hope that you will appreciate our art collection by renowned artists - Herman Gold and Anatoly Zaslavsky. Their works are displayed in many museums in Russia and Ukraine, galleries in France, Greece, Israel, the USA, as well as in private collections around the world.

We love clean and comfortable home and hope you will as well. We thought about many details to make your stay very enjoyable such as Italian towel warmers, chargers on each nightstand, TV in every room, gourmet kitchen, full office, board games and many more.

We put our hearts and soul to make our guests feel home away from home. We strive to provide you with an outstanding staying experience, and we look forward to hosting you! Let us know if you need anything, please take good care of our home during your stay and come back soon!
