My family rented this place for one month and it was the perfect vacation rental. The pictures posted online are beautiful but do not do the home justice - it is even more beautiful in person. Everything in the unit is new, modern and functional. Martha has ensured that the unit is well stocked with anything you may need. The kitchen had enough dishware/utensils to feed large groups of people; the unit had all appliances (toaster, air fryer, irons, vacuums etc) that you may need. The location of the property can’t be beat. You can walk to Santa Monica Pier, Ocean Ave, 3rd Street and Montana street within 15 to 20 minutes. We really appreciated being so close to everything but far enough to where we could avoid the crowds and noise. The building in which the property is located is also very secure and has useful amenities. There are additional washers/dryers on site so that you can wash sandy beach towels etc. without having to take them upstairs; an outdoor shower where you can wash your sandy feet before you enter the building etc. Martha provides you with 2 parking spots and there are 4 additional guest parking spots in the building. Martha is also extremely responsive. She responded within minutes of us reaching out to her with any questions. She also arranged for us to have housekeeping services since we were staying for one month. We loved our stay at this home and would highly recommend this to anyone who is considering it!

Leena, thank you for your thoughtful review. I’m thrilled that you and your family had such a good time and thought the condo was even more beautiful in real life. I work hard to keep everything in excellent condition and very, very clean. The location is indeed, fantastic and close enough to everything you could need. Best, Martha

Excellent Vacation Rental

What a great place to hang your hat in California. The apartment is beautiful and clean and has everything you need. We moved in for 5 and a half weeks and felt right at home! Martha was an incredible host and prepped the unit with everything you would want! We loved it. Fantastic location right in the beach! 5 star accommodation and host all the way !

Great summer rental

Our stay left as perfect of a lasting memory for the summer 2023 as we could have imagined. The location literally is on the sand and was super convenient for our summer with our two young children who were attending nearby beach camp. The renovated and designed unit is beautiful with lots of storage, comfortable furniture and amenities, and a layout that functions very well for a family of 4 plus the occasional guest. All interactions with the property manager were exceptional - friendly, timely, thoughtful, and helpful. We would absolutely stay again and think this is a great place if you want to be right on the Santa Monica sand and all it has to offer to explore.

Thank you for the review Jeff. I take great pride in the quality of my accommodation and I'm glad it made your stay memorable. Thankfully, we didn't have much need to communicate once you moved in. I always treat my guests like family and attending to their needs is a personal priority for me. I'm glad that your stay was so wonderful that you are already thinking about next summer! I hope you come back and stay with me again. Martha

Heaven at the Beach

The condo more than delivered! Generous space included 2 large bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms on opposite sides of the condo so when our family visited (with our two young granddaughters) everyone had comfort and privacy. The great room with living, dining and kitchen leads to the large outdoor deck and a grand view of the Santa Monica beach and the Pacific. Stunning sunsets just outdoors! And 2 perfect playgrounds steps away. A five minute drive to shops and restaurants on Montana Ave. We walked every day on the promenade along the beach, to the SM Pier, Shutters on the Beach hotel and more. The building is quiet even though near the Pacific Coast Highway. We’ll be back!

This condo in a 25 unit building was exactly as described and photographed in the VRBO listing. The unit layout works nicely for 2 adult couples as it is "U" shaped with a private bedroom and bathroom at each leg of the "U" promoting both convenience and privacy. The kitchen is well equipped and all appliances are high end. There are convenient small appliances including an electric water kettle and Keurig for those who enjoy freshly brewed coffee. The owner/manager, Martha is friendly and highly responsive and responsible. She readily makes it evident that she will do everything reasonable to insure that you enjoy your stay. She is there to greet you as you arrive and demonstrate all the nuances that otherwise might be puzzling like garage access and digital door lock. She was quick to point out amenities within walking distance including our favorite "Back on the Beach Cafe " for breakfast and lunch. This condo is clean, modern, incredibly well located for beach walks and going into town. It is spacious enough for social gathering and TV watching. Those who do not have access to a car or simply don't want to drive will find Uber and Waymo readily available. Pricing for what you get is at market rates. There are no downsides to this rental with one minor exception that Martha herself pointed out. The large L-shaped sofa in the living room is white yet washable. If you are like us and treat a rental as though it were your own, you should forgo the chips and salsa at TV time

Thank you for the wonderful review. I’m so glad that your stay was enjoyable. As for the white couch, you can always have your chips and salsa at the dining table and still see the TV and the ocean! The in-unit washer and dryer are handy for washing the couch slipcovers if you spill anything! It was a pleasure to be your host and I hope you will return again. I would love to have you.
