About this property

NEW: Holiday in Spacious Bright Top Floor Views / Walk2 Eats, Beach, Downtown

Business travelers set up for a comfortable medium term visit while being indispensable to their company. Global travelers seeking month long summer holiday. Contact me soon for details & first dibs to consecutive dates before calendar opens up for other travel periods.

An experienced host who will absolutely welcome VRBO guests with genuine care of an old school joie de vive (remember the early days of str) mixed with the new standard of quality hospitality. Eclectic flair of vintage & beach zen curated over the years personalizes the extra bit of size and volume here. I would love to share my sunset drenched space with a brand new set of guests soon. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Capture your own snapshot of Santa Monica's sunset from my Great Room. The 10' tall windows allow the seasonal dusk colors to bathe the space in amazing hues. The SouthWest facing windows are large canvases of SoCal's statuesque palm trees as well. Throughout the year nature's beauty shines in to say "hello". Blessed to share this view with you.

This is a home where you’ll feel like a local. Millennials love the clean look and baby boomers enjoy the feeling. I hope you like the space and enjoy my Vrbo as it was intended - with a personal touch.

My guests have come from Austria, China, England and more recently, Pittsburgh, St Louis, Chicago, New York and San Francisco; they are business owners, executives and technical trouble shooters in the entertainment, finance, hospitality and tech industries. This wide spectrum of guests enjoy the quiet of a neighborhood & serene spaces (for a city) yet being minutes away from the hubbub of DTSM (DownTown Santa Monica). They've been a joy to host and get to know so I'm looking forward to YOU being my next guest. CHEERS!

Favorite part of location? I’m in residential neighborhood. Its still a city but not in the middle of commercial district. Ninety-five percent of the time, it’s darn quiet. Magnolia and palm tree lined street provides shade to joggers, cyclist and dog walkers. Walking distance to famous Santa Monica Beach & Farmers Market as well as our many multicultural restaurants, boutiques, yoga & fitness, and of course American movies and foreign film houses. As close and convenient as 7 (walking) minutes away is the hum of The Promenade, The Pier and Palisades Park's stunning beach views. My C3POhs :) Nerdy? Yes!

PLEASE READ HOUSE RULES - To make sure we’re on the same page as well as understanding of North American style of hospitality.

Being mindful will make your visit comfortable and I will enjoy your company. Neighbors and property are well intentioned. Guests should be too. Looking forward to making your stay a pleasure and a safe haven with the added plus of getting to know you! Fortunately, a majority of my guests have been superb. Looking forward to meeting you next!

Great guests
Thank you in advance for your thoughtfulness.

Great location- very convenient!
Very pleasant apartment in a convenient location. Could use a ceiling fan in the bedroom, since it is on the 3rd floor and the building does not have A/C. Also the apartment is on the back corner of the Building so it is right on the alleys, which can be a bit noisy at times. Apart from that it is a very spacious and light space, just as pictured!

Creative work load and sports for fun. Photographing sunsets is a very amateur hobby.
East coaster who loves being as close to the Pacific Ocean as possible. Meeting people from all parts of the USA and the world is a gratifying share. Life is good!

Why they chose this property

My guests are snowbirds who want a break from the cold and snow with their sights on living like a native Santa Monican :) Millennials and Boomers enjoy a clean and modern feel. Internationalists and domestic vacationers stay multiple weeks and months for
the comforts of home. We cater to the annual stays of repeat guests (make your reservations early). I'm thankful for their visits and they are reciprocated with pleasant hospitality. The Promenade, Montana Avenue, beaches are within a short walk - neighborhood eateries and entertainment abound. Our twice a week Farmers Market provides a European style of shopping for goodies for foodies. A 1200 square foot place, while not house size, there's personality and a bit of style that edges most in the area. We're located in a residential area where my neighbors walk their pets, work out and do errands. The unit itself is quiet (not country quiet since we're in a city after all), on the top floor with sunset views. Santa Monica is a beach city and we're so close to downtown and The Santa Monica Pier. ENJOY!

What makes this property unique

This place spoke to me as soon as I saw the tall ceiling in the Great Room. Open sky views that I hadn't seen from any other property in the city really sealed it. I discovered the great sunsets from all of my windows afterwards and walkability to pretty much everything essential and extras - reminded me of living back home in my old neighborhood on the East Coast. My West Coast place is way better IMO. Anyway, I hope my guests feel the same way and share in my blessings.
