We absolutely loved this gem by the beach! Incredibly clean and functional, but cozy and welcoming as well. Teresa was kind, responsive, and helpful to everything we needed. Beach equipment and bikes for our use were a big plus. The location is perfect - walking distance to the beach and some restaurants. We look forward to returning some day soon!

This was such a fantastic property! It was ideal for a few days of staycation and perfectly situated near the ocean, downtown Santa Monica and the freeway. Could not have been more impressed with the cleanliness and style of everything inside and out.

About the host

Hosted by Teresa

Host profile image
We have lived in Santa Monica for over 25 years. My daughter has just gone off to college and my son is a freshman at Santa Monica High School. I am originally from the UK. We love the relaxing beach atmosphere; farmers markets and restaurant varieties in Santa Monica; a great place for foodies.

Why they chose this property

The House has the perfect mix of privacy and location. Hidden behind tall hedges is a peaceful atmosphere. We have been very fortunate to have people who have found the house and neighborhood relaxing and enjoyable. The usual response from our guests, 'just what they are looking for'.

What makes this property unique

I am a busy professional but always have time for guests who need a little extra help. I have booked Laker tickets for the family who had a problem with their credit card, recommended doctors and given a lovely Italian family a ride to airport because they were have trouble navigating the freeway.
