About this property

Pretty beach apartment w/ parking, bikes, pet friendly!

Be a minute to the beach in the best location of LA! For 1 to 4 people, my flat comes with two bikes so you can enjoy 22 miles of bike track by the beach. Best bars/restaurants close by. All hotspots of Venice are at walking distance: boardwalk, Gold's Gym, Rose Ave, Main St, Muscle Beach, canals, skate park... My off-site parking space is available a 4-minute walk away. All surfaces are professionally cleaned and disinfected.

Amazing location a step away to the beach, in between the famous Venice Beach Boardwalk and the best shops/restaurants on Main Street, just one block from trendy Rose Ave. The apartment's windows give on a parking lot and we are on the ground floor.

Airy space with tons of character on the ground floor of a cute historical building. Located in a very touristy place, our flat offers an alternative to a hotel stay and provides the amenities you may need for a different sort of traveling experience.

It is a charming beach apartment, clean and perfectly furnished, in a small condominium with three floors. The apartment is located on the ground floor so very easy to access. As the location is right on Venice Beach, the area gets very busy in summer with a lot of animation and it can be noisy sometimes.

The apartment is 650 square feet and has a combination of laminate floor and tiles flooring. It has one bedroom with a queen-size bed which sleeps two people comfortably. In the living room, a sofa pulls out to convert to a queen-sized bed that sleeps two people as well.

One bathroom with a shower and a tub, shampoo, shower gel and a hairdryer are provided. A fully-equipped kitchen (four gas burners stove, oven, refrigerator, toaster, coffee pot, kettle, microwave, crockery and cutlery for four people, cooking utensils). An iron and an ironing board are also available.

We put at your disposal 2 bikes (Mountain bikes) with locks. We provide one off-site parking space in a parking lot a four-minute walk away, and you can also park in the street (parking is free, just check the signs to avoid having a ticket). There are bus stops close-by (on Main St), it is very convenient to use Uber or Lyft and the Bird or Lime scooters to move around.

The check-in procedure is automated so you don't need to worry about late arrivals or having to wait for us at the property. Just let us know your time of arrival and departure prior.

Important to know: as in all the Venice buildings that are directly on the boardwalk, the sound insulation is not optimal and we can hear the noise of the street. If you are a light sleeper or are intolerant of the slightest noise, this is not the place for you. The highlights of this apartment are its incredible location, the two free bikes provided and the fact that there is free parking included, which is a true luxury in Venice Beach.

With the invigorating air of the ocean nearby, the Californian lifestyle and the animated restaurants and bars of Venice Beach, you really feel like being on vacation all year round here...

Awesome location with easy walking distance to the beach, boardwalk, and any stores, shops, restaurants you would need. Bikes provided worked great to use on the bike trail down to the Santa Monica Pier. We only stayed for a long weekend, but with the spacious apartment and full kitchen It would be perfect for a longer stay as well.

Venice beach apartment

We stayed at this Venice Beach apartment for 11 days in Sept. and it was a great location, just steps away from the beach and the Venice boardwalk. The apartment was very clean and Marni was a great host. We were told this location can be a bit noisy at night but for the entire time we didn’t have any issues with that at all. Thank you Marni for being a great host and we would definitely stay here again!

Cozy spot, great location!

Clean, cozy apartment had everything we needed, just steps from the beach. Being able to leave our car in the private parking spot was a huge bonus, as we walked everywhere. Great location. Wish we'd had time to use the bikes, too--another big bonus. Marnie is an excellent host, she was responsive ahead of our arrival with check in information that included photos and a map, and even checked in during our stay. I also appreciated her honest property description, as this neighborhood can be busy at night, but we slept well! Would definitely stay here again.

Excellent choice for beach property

Excellent choice for small family 2-4 persons, steps to the Venice Beach Blvd. Property is very outdated but owner is very responsive and reasonably priced with consideration to being on the beach. Of note parking is 4 minute walk from apartment. The private lot outside of the apartment will work out a clustered rate for length of stay ($100 for 3-days).

Thanks, Stephanie. I'm surprised that you consider the property very obsolete because there are all the aminities one could need. I host dozens of guests every year and none of them complained about it. If you want to rent a large apartment for a family of four in a new building around here, I think you will have to pay four times what you paid here. Parking is at a 4-minute walk which is quite close and quickly done, my guests are usually grateful to have free parking, which is a luxury in Venice Beach. I'm glad you enjoyed your experience beside this. Take care, Marnie

Attentive Host, Unbeatable Location: A Review with Ambiance Notes

Incredible and highly attentive host and can't beat the location! While the ambiance could benefit from some improvements, such as a lingering scent that was reminiscent of cat urine, it's important to note that other reviews accurately highlight the presence of noise. The upstairs neighbors occasionally create noticeable stomping sounds, and due to its proximity to a vibrant boardwalk, it can be quite lively.
Stayed 3 nights in May 2023
Response from VrboOwner on 17 Aug, 2023
Thank you Alisia. I am surprised by your review. Indeed, you didn't complain about any of this during your stay and I thought you enjoyed my apartment like my other guests usually do. I have never smelled cat urine here, neither have my housekeepers nor the dozens of guests I have hosted over the past five years. I'm always improving the place, I'm planning to do paint jobs in June. I didn't notice the footsteps from the neighbors and lived here for two years... Maybe you were just unlucky? Otherwise, yes, we are in a busy area in the heart of Venice Beach, right next to the boardwalk, so sometimes there is noise. I hope the next time you come to Los Angeles you can find a more satisfying rental for you, given that you were four guests in a prime location like here, with a parking space (a real luxury in this neighborhood ), two bikes and all amenities for this price. Best, Marnie

Great place for couples close to the beach

Property is in a great location and perfect for a couple who is looking to stay close to the beach in Venice/Santa Monica. Going to other places in the LA area was also very easy and the parking space was great to keep our rental car. Only two issues that may not be great for every type of traveler are: 1) being in the ground level the apartment can be noisy at times; 2) the shower is very low, even being 6’ I had to bend down to get under it. Otherwise we had a great experience and Marnie was a great host, clear instructions and very fast answers whenever we had to message her.

Venice Beach

We had a great time and could walk to almost everything we wanted to do. I say “almost” because we wanted to go into downtown LA and that of course wasn’t walkable. We did walk to restaurants, shops, and Santa Monica Pier! The unit had everything we needed. I read some reviews about the noise so we just played white noise on our phones to sleep and had no issues. We never used the bikes, but they are definitely a nice touch.
