About this property

Please note: There is only A/C offered from June to September!
Luxurious suite with kitchenette (part of house with private entrance) in Mar Vista walking distance to numerous coffee shops, restaurants, markets, and public transportation. A 10 minute car ride to world-famous Venice Beach, Abbot Kinney, the Venice Canals and Marina del Rey.
Perfect for those who enjoy being surrounded by nature, and appreciate privacy and quietude. Good for traveling couples, solo adventurers, and business travelers.

The space
Large, quiet suite with high speed wifi, smart TV, original artwork, and mini kitchenette of small refrigerator (& freezer), microwave, deluxe K-cup coffee system, dishes and flatware. Seating for two.

Travertine Spa bath with double sinks, large shower with wide overhead and handheld spray, and a whirlpool for two.
The bathroom here was designed by me and renovated with ideas from my travels in Europe and Asia where the bath is revered. Not only as a place to cleanse the body, but also to rejuvenate and recharge the spirit and soul, especially after a long day exploring the city. Step out of the bath into a plush terrycloth robe and slippers.
Grab the oversized beach towels and head down the road to our lovely wide- sanded beaches and the roaring Pacific Ocean.

Extra closet and storage space.
Your host in on premise with a big dog, Roji and two young curious cats, Paris and London. You probably won't meet Roji but London and Paris may visit you when you sit outside.
Small private patio.

Other things to note
PLEASE, IF YOU'RE NEW TO VRBO: Before you inquire, have an ID verified profile. Also, If you're traveling with someone, please identify them fully.
Most VRBO spaces are in homes and hosts expect and appreciate it when you treat the space like a home, and definitely tidy up after your stay. It helps to give and get reviews. Then the next time you book on VRBO, the next host will feel more comfortable knowing you are a welcomed guest.

Healing retreat from busy days in LA

I am so glad I chose this location. It was a place to recharge and re-energize. Designed to be both artistic and functional, it felt wonderful to stay there. There are closets and drawers everywhere but you don't notice them because they blend into the beauty of the place. Air filter. An excellent water filter. Herbal, green and other teas. The chairs and bed are comfortable! The table is perfect size for working on a laptop with room for munchies, books, ipad, etc. The spa is a joy with live plants in the room. It looks small from the photo, but felt spacious and gracious. LOVED IT. Will definitely stay here again next time I'm in LA.

Efficiency and convenience

The unit is compact, organized and has lots of storage space for putting away personal belongings. Very clean and pleasant design with no extraneous decor to clutter the space. Spacious bathroom with two sinks is great. Small compact patio for two. No actual kitchen with a sink or counter space but making breakfast or snacks is easy. Friendly host.

great location Santa Monica

The location of this room was terrific, easy to park on the street. Close to everything, and quiet. The room was lovely, and was equipped with complimentary coffee, dishes, small convention oven. The bathroom was fully stocked with anything you need. The outdoor area was a real surprise. We had our own little spot to have our coffee in the morning, surrounded by beautiful greenery. Connie has a lovely property, and you can see that a lot of care and pride is shown. She was also able to provide a beach chair that was very appreciated. Connie is a great host, responds quickly and is available if you need anything. The construction is a non issue, the men working are respectful and we were away all day anyway. Would definitely recommend. Thank you for such a lovely experience.

Excellent little home base for a trip

This was about as close to being on your own as a shared space rental gets — we scarcely heard anything (outside of the dog barking occasionally, which is fine, it’s a dog, they bark) and the private entrance makes it feel very much like your own space. It’s a small space that you probably won’t spend all day in, but that hardly seems to be the point — it’s a great place to crash at the end of the day and start fresh in the morning. We rented a car so the proximity to Santa Monica was great, plus we were able to comfortably drive to and from Malibu, Santa Barbara, and all over downtown LA. Only tiny complaint would be that the whirlpool is an emphasis on the listing and it never had enough hot water to quite fill it at temperature… but maybe I just like it too hot. Otherwise great stay with a communicative host and would gladly come back again.

Don’t stay here if you want privacy

Owner is in your business 24/7. She even watched my park on the street in front of her home and then messaged me to “ move my car out of her driveway because she had a friend coming over and wanted to park her car there. I WAS PARKED ON THE STREET IN FRONT OF THE HOME! Her dogs start barking at 7:00am and bark and fight in her unit ALL DAY! The jacuzzi tub is old, black and covered in white soap scum. Owner did not send me the entry codes at check in time because “you are not arriving until later so I thought that there was no hurry”. Then wanted me to let her know when I left so the unit could be cleaned. I expect to have the unit from check in until check out. We have stayed at many, many VRBO homes across the country, this was the worst! Owner had every excuse in the world for her rudeness including and then call me crazy! WE DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PROPERTY!

Nightmare

After years of great VRBO stays, I finally experienced the nightmare stay. My first morning, I took a shower at this VRBO. When I stepped out of the shower, onto the bathroom floor, it had flooded. So much so that it had flowed into the bedroom area. I immediately notified the owner and she arrived quickly. But her arrival quickly turned to accusation. Despite the fact that what she accused me of was ludicrous for a person staying there, was something that her cleaning crew would have done, and was something that a significant construction project in the backyard could have caused, she blamed me. Regardless of the fact that I helped clean up and figure out what may have happened, stayed out of the room all day to allow for workers to fix the issue, carried by valuables with me the entire trip, and washed in the sink when instructed not to use the shower, she told me I was selfish, disrespectful, and didn't care. Add to that that the codes for check in were provided half an hour after check in and that the room was hot and humid, but you were instructed not to use the air conditioner overnight (see other review), I think nightmare sums it up. Her last message to me told me never to contact her again . . . no worries about that! On a positive note, I ended my trip in a great VRBO in Albuquerque where there was no drama!! Check out Los Ranchose De Albuquerque!
