About this property

This modern architectural mansion overlooks the historic Venice Canals.

This modern architectural mansion overlooks the historic Venice Canals. With 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and stunning features like a rooftop hot tub, it's perfect for those who appreciate great architecture and history. The spacious living area offers a cozy fireplace and a fully equipped kitchen. The roof deck provides incredible views, while the bedrooms feature luxurious bedding. Ideal for couples, families, and small groups seeking an unforgettable vacation in the heart of Venice.
The space
This custom-built, modern architectural mansion is the perfect home away for those who appreciate great architecture, romance, art, and history. Located near the historic Venice Canals, steps from the beach and Abbott Kinney, this unique and convenient property offers stunning 360-degree views and a rooftop hot tub overlooking the canals.

The main living area on the third level is designed to provide the best views of the neighborhood, canals, and mountains. The spacious and light loft-style living room features floor-to-ceiling windows, a cozy gas fireplace, and contemporary California paintings. The fully equipped kitchen, under amazing skylights and soaring ceilings, includes two sinks, a dishwasher, a microwave, a four-fire burner cooktop, and a large built-in refrigerator & freezer.

On the fabulous roof deck, you can relax and entertain with incredible views. It is equipped with a barbecue grill, lounge furniture, an umbrella, a private sun deck, and a Jacuzzi by Sundance Spa. Enjoy breathtaking sunrises, sunbathe on the private deck, and unwind in the Jacuzzi while taking in the spectacular sunsets and 360-degree views of Los Angeles.


The three grand bedrooms, each beautifully decorated with luxurious bedding, are located one level below the living room. The master bedroom boasts a California king-sized bed, a 52-inch HD Flat Screen TV, and a private master bathroom with a whirlpool tub and a double-size shower with massaging shower heads. Two other guest bedrooms, uniquely decorated, offer soft queen beds and share a bathroom with a shower/tub combination.

High-speed internet and cable TV are included, and an optional queen-size air mattress can be set up in the living room for additional guests. The property is enclosed with an 8-foot fence for maximum safety, and a garage parking spot is provided (please note size restrictions).

With central AC and heating, as well as a cozy fireplace, this home ensures your comfort regardless of the season.

A garage parking spot that fits one car is included. If you have a big SUV/Truck, it might not fit though ( think Lincoln Navigator i.e., height is more a problem than length).

ADDITIONAL FEATURES:
• Surfboards, longboard, skateboards, beach gear, bodyboard and fins
• Linens, sheets, towels, cookware, dinnerware, spices, coffee, tea, and a little guide to the neighborhood

We want you to feel like home in our place. The little house on the street front which is on the same property is leased long-term.

The canals have always been the center of it all in Venice. You can take a 5 minute stroll from our back door through the historic canals of Venice, walking by amazing gardens and incredible multi-million dollar homes by some of LA's hottest architects, and wind up on the white sand and blue ocean of the Pacific.

Or walk out the front five minutes and you'll find yourself on Abbott Kinney, recently given the distinction as the "Coolest Block in America" in GQ Magazine's April issue, with amazing new shops and some of LA's hippest restaurants & bars. Walk or bike to Marina Del Rey, Main Street Santa Monica and Rose Avenue which are all blossoming with new shops and restaurants are also just minutes away. Stock up on wholesome essentials at the neighborhood Whole Foods; take a ride to the Santa Monica Pier and watch a concert in the summer; splurge at the Third Street Promenade; catch the latest flick at Theater Marina del Rey! It's all so near.

On a side note - I'm originally from Germany. So if you travel from far abroad you'll be in good hands.

Guest access
Beside the house, you'll have access to the garage where the washer, dryer, surfboards, skateboards, and beach gear are located. The garage parking spot is included.
The house has its own access gates and walkways. Our long-term tenant is living in the cottage on the street front of the same property, so technically you share the same yard but in reality, you won't even see each other since each house has its walkway and gate.

Perfect location
The house is in a perfect neighborhood. We had never been to Venice Beach and definitely want to come back and would love to stay here again. It's within a reasonable drive to everywhere we wanted to go and especially convenient to LAX. And we could just stay in Venice Beach if we didn't want to drive anywhere. Walking distance to the beach and beach-y vibe stores and restaurants, or walk 10 minutes in the other direction and you're on Abbot Kinney where you'll find amazing shopping and fun restaurants and coffees shops. We were 3 couples and had plenty of room. Having the small powder room near the living room was nice to have an extra bathroom. The kitchen is stocked with anything you'd need. The garage is key! Although there is street parking, not having to think about it at all was such a help. We rented a mini-van and there was no problem fitting. This rental is a really great find!

Enjoyable stay with a few minor gripes
Not a 5-star review, but would use again in the future, as the Pros far outweighed the Cons. Pros: Very responsive owner who was quick to respond Great location ... convenient for wandering through the Venice canals on the way to the beach, as well as within reasonable (15 min.) walking distance to Marina del Rey. Rooftop hot tub was ideal after a long day of 'touristy' stuff in LA Master BR shower was excellent Kitchen had everything we needed Having a garage was crucial, as street parking isn't as easy as some of the other reviews have indicated. Just make sure your vehicle can fit (length-wise and height-wise) Cons Lovely home, but probably could use a deep clean, as the furniture, carpets, floors were a little dirty. Check-in directions for accessing the garage were not very clear. When asking for clarification, the owner could have been more helpful by naming the side streets, but only instructed me to re-read the check-in details. We figured it out on our own. For those reading this, the garage is at the rear of the property on Eastern Ct., between Carroll Ct. and Linnie Canal Ct. The upstairs dead bolt was not working when we arrived. It is not easily accessible, as it's the door that leads up to the rooftop patio, but sleeping with an unlocked door for a night was not ideal. (** handyman replaced it the next day **) Upstairs has minimal shades, so it gets hot in late afternoon. Only thermostat is downstairs where it's darker and much cooler.

Family trip to Venice Beach
This was a fantastic place to stay. Perfect location with an easy walk to the beach, restaurants, and shopping. The rooftop patio with hot tub is the icing on the cake as it’s a really nice outdoor space to lounge and enjoy the California weather. The house is very well-equipped and the host extremely responsive. Highly recommend!

Great common spaces and great location.
We had a great stay here. The common areas - living room, kitchen, etc. - were so open and full of natural light. The hot tub was easy to use and great for a "chillier" January night. The check-in process was super easy and with any questions/concerns, the host responded very quickly and we had quick resolution. We would definitely consider staying here again for this area. It is in walking distance to the beach, good restaurants, and shopping.

This home is everything advertised, the beds are extremely comfortable, soaking in the tub a treat, the kitchen left my wife envious. The main selling point however is the location. You can literally walk to all the best of Venice. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. My only word of caution would be regarding the traffic. People unfamiliar with LA/ beach areas may be in for a surprise at how busy it can be.

About the host

Hosted by Andrea Schoening

Host profile image
My husband and I love meeting new people and sharing the great experience that Venice has to offer. We're glad that HomeAway gives us the opportunity to travel and connect in a very unique way.

We are both creative design professionals and would love to give you tips of what to see and do in LA.

You will, as we do, love strolling on Abbott Kinney ( which GQ rated as the coolest block in America ), go surfing or sunbathing at the beach and explore the world famous and highly entertaining Venice Boardwalk.

I'm originally from Germany and always looking forward to meet other fellow Germans.

Why they chose this property

Venice is a small beach community located west of downtown Los Angeles, just south of Santa Monica and north of Marina del Rey. Centrally located, Venice is 16 minutes to Los Angeles International Airport and 20 minutes to Beverly Hills and, although very close to major freeway access, most close-by areas are best reached by surface streets.

Originally developed in 1905 as 'Venice of America,' it offers a wide and diverse range of living opportunities ranging from stately Craftsman built just after the turn of the century and little 1920's California bungalows to avant-garde contemporary homes and loft-style residential studios.

Many of the neighborhoods of Venice are like smaller communities unto themselves, each with its own flavor and style. Many have active neighborhood groups, including organized neighborhood watch associations.

What makes this property unique

This is a custom, modern home that was built in 2007 and for us it is all about the 360 degree views. During the early mornings you can catch the most marvelous sunrise while drinking your coffee and during the evening you have these breathtaking sunsets and can relax in the Jacuzzi while you watch the world go to sleep.
