Guests have a private entrance to their individual bungalows. The Bungalows have fences between each one and all three have their own individual outside area with seating/sun loungers and BBQ that we encourage guests to use up until midnight, at which point we ask that outside noise is kept to a minimum in respect for our neighbors and guests in the other Bungalows. There is a tall, vine laced fence that separates the bungalows, along with a small latched gate between them that allows the gardener to work.

Guests will have access to the entire home. There will be no one else on the property, other than the occasional gardener unless otherwise discussed with you in advance.

All 30+ day stays require mid stay cleaning by our professional housekeeping team. This is a full clean of the house and change of linens. We pay our cleaners a fair, livable wage and we always strive to hire the best, most reliable and honest cleaners in the business. This team in the backbone of our company, and they work tirelessly to ensure every stay is a clean one!

There will be two bikes provided for each bungalow.

Dogs are welcome but please let us know! We are very dog friendly but for the safety of all our guests, we can only allow dogs that have never had any behavior issues with people or other pets. Additionally, pets must be on a flea preventive medication prior to arrival /flea-free

The Open Air Homes team is dedicated to ensuring a great experience for your stay! We're here to assist with any inquiries or provide local recommendations for your exploration in the area.

When visiting Venice Beach, you are entering the most walkable and bike friendly city in all of Los Angeles. We recommend exploring the great restaurant scene on Abbot Kinney, Rose Ave and Main/Pacific, as well as on the boardwalk. There has been a revival of the restaurant scene, and the shopping has always been top notch, especially on Abbot Kinney.

Be sure to walk Abbot Kinney, especially on the weekends, if you want to see a great example of the vibrancy of this community. If you’re up for a bike ride, take the path North all the way to the start of Malibu, or there is a secret path through Marina Del Rey that can take you all the way down on a bike path to Redondo.

We recommend walking the walk streets, and seeing all of the unique architecture throughout the entire community. The canals are also worth checking out to view the unique history of Venice Beach.

This home is 2 blocks from Abbot Kinney, 4 blocks from Rose Ave, and 5 blocks from the beach. In our opinion, these bungalows are located in the ideal area, to feel like you're in the vibrant community of Venice, but far enough away from the louder areas near the beach. You have a significant number of great restaurants to choose from within a few blocks of the house, so we invite you to explore the area and are happy to give recommendations!

There is street cleaning on one side of the street between 10-12pm on Wednesday's & Thursday's. You will get a ticket if parked on the street during street cleaning so we advise moving your car ahead of time!

While visiting Southern California, having a car is the preferred mode of transportation for most, considering the wealth of unique attractions within a two-hour radius of this home. For the adventurous explorer, a car is highly recommended to fully appreciate the diverse experiences the area offers. However, if you're inclined to arrive and seamlessly unwind at the house during your vacation, rest assured that Uber and Lyft services are readily available for convenient and hassle-free local transportation in Los Angeles.

Venice is highly walkable and bike-able which is one of our favorite things about the area. Along with the bikes we provide you are right next to line 18 of the Big Blue Bus that runs from UCLA to Santa Monica and down to Windward circle in Venice. Head up to Santa Monica and transfer to Metro's Expo Light Rail to head downtown. You can connect with other lines that go into different parts of the city like Dodger game, the Staple Center, and Union Station.
