Come relax at this stylish and serene oasis only 100 yards to the beach. Your new SoCal sanctuary is located on a quiet pedestrian street, with a private gated yard just outside your door. Nestled close to the storied Venice canals, and Venice's best restaurants and cafes too. Beyond the beautiful design and decor, your place is equipped with fast Wi-Fi, in-unit washer/dryer, patio and all the comfort you could ask for. The beach path and the ocean are just steps away! A private pavilion surrounded by bougainvillea just outside your door is the perfect place to have a morning coffee, and enjoy Venice’s pleasing weather. From there, it's a 30 second walk on a pedestrian street to the beach! Also, the bike path is right there that goes for miles, beyond the boardwalk, past the Santa Monica pier. The yard is shared with our unit but we rarely are there at the same time. It’s a 1 minute walk to the storied Venice canals, 2 minutes to all of the Washington Street conveniences (coffee shops, restaurants, yoga, salon etc) and a 4 minute walk to the boardwalk. Abbot Kinney is a very short drive or a 10 minute walk and Santa Monica is only a few more minutes away. The home is nestled in one of the best areas of Venice - close to everything but in a quiet neighborhood away from the high energy of the boardwalk, in the middle of the block so it's more private than if right on the beach path or Pacific Street. The interior is a beautifully designed 1 bedroom with comfortable Queen bed, living room with pull-out couch and HD 4k smart TV, plenty of seating and reading nooks, spacious fully-equipped kitchen, bar seating, gleaming bathroom with jacuzzi tub, and office nook for all your home-away-from-home needs! Outside your door is a patio that is mostly private, and is private to anyone not on property. A high fence keeps it secluded from passersby on the walk street, and it is the access way for deliveries (mail, Amazon) so you may see delivery people come through or the other unit guests coming in and out on the walkway. It also is technically shared with us, but we rarely use the patio. This is a new property, which we've updated with fresh paint, Brooklinen bed linens, Graham & Browne wallpapered bathroom, kitchen cabinets, new thermal coffee maker, vintage rattan furniture, moroccan accents, stoneware dishes and glassware, HD 4k smart TV, plants, a memory gel mattress on the sofa bed and an updated garden that is amazing from spring through fall. It's a great place to vacation and relax, work or just enjoy living for a while in one of the best beach towns in the world. The entire unit is yours, and the patio is shared only with one other unit (ours) and we are rarely using it. The walkway is the access to the walk street, and you will see delivery people and guests from the other unit upstairs but you have full privacy in your unit. Also, even if you see people walk by and have your blinds open, no one can really see inside. You will have total privacy in your space, and we are reachable for any questions you may have. 1/2 Block from one of the best beaches in the world, a 2 minute walk to coffee shops, restaurants and bars but on a walk street in the "quiet" residential section (away from the boardwalk) also across from the beautiful tranquil Venice canals. Friendly, artsy and beachy, one of our best treasures. This is a great walking area for most things. Most people rarely use their car if they have one, and ride share is also very easy from here. BIKES: There are several bike rental places on Washington St 2 blocks away if you want to grab a cruiser or e-bike and head up to Santa Monica, the boardwalk or just enjoy the 22 miles of beach path right outside the door! PARKING: Please note this unit does not have a dedicated parking spot at the building, but there is free street parking on Pacific St just steps away (no time limits) and a paid beach lot about 2 blocks away at the end of Washington Street. Other than street cleaning Mon & Tues am you can leave your car on Pacific Street as long as you like (* do not park on a red curb or you may get a ticket). It can be a little harder to find parking in peak summer on nice beach days but it is easy at night if not during the day, and the further south on Pacific the easier it is. There is a small driveway that belongs to the other unit in the building. If it is open when you arrive, you may use it to load in and out. Feel free to inquire if you need other options and we will do our best to help accommodate. Note this is a 3 unit building and in Venice, many of the homes are close together. This is the price of living so close to the beach :) It's generally very quiet here, and you might hear some occasional footsteps in the stairwell or from the unit(s) above. If you are used to apartment and/or city living this is quite typical, but we just like to mention it in advance. Thanks!
