This little cottage was exactly what we were looking for in our stay in LA. It was magical and the communication with the owner was great. It's in a good neighborhood and th location is great if you want to be close to Culver City, Venice Beach, or Santa Monica. I would stay here again if I could.

The house is just beautiful and looks even better in person than in the pictures. Kathleen is a designer and her aesthetic excellence features clearly in the way that she has set up the place. It feels warm and lovely but also beautiful and luxurious at the same time and the white interiors provide a sense of peace come and space perfect for a chilled out vacation.In addition, Kathleen as a person is just such a beautiful soul and incredibly helpful, friendly and warm. She treated us just like family and we felt so much at home.

Charming Stay

This property was a lovely, spacious home base for our adult family of 5. Easy street parking and fantastic location close to the coast. We enjoyed the outdoor space and being surrounded by flowers. We very much appreciated access to beach chairs, towels, umbrella and a cart, and the care Kathleen demonstrated to us before and during our stay. This house has great character!

Wonderful Relaxing Stay

My partner and I had a great stay at the Dreamy White Venice property. Kathleen was an incredible host, very accommodating, and easy to communicate with. The exterior and interior of the cottage is so thoughtful in design. It's a special space to relax and unwind in. Every corner of the space has unique touches. The neighborhood is quiet with plenty of restaurants and bars to walk to. We would love to plan another visit back.

This house is as luscious as it looks in the photos. The kitchen is more than fully stocked, as are the bathrooms. The mattresses in the beds are incredibly comfortable. The owner was available and generous in her support of our stay. Highest praise for this gem of a rental.
