Convenient and comfortable
My partner's son, pregnant daughter-in-law and 2.5 year-old granddaughter spent Thanksgiving visiting us in LA. They were kindly accommodated with an early check in so their daughter could nap. The place was comfortable and close to the beach. Great stay!

Santa Monica Peace
The upstairs cottage was quiet while still being close to the beach and to restaurants. Bathroom is very small and only one queen size bed makes it limited on guests. Felt very secure.

What a great place!
We’re so happy with our stay here. The owner of the house is so friendly and made us feel so at home. Allowed us to use anything lying around including beach toys, bikes, surfboards, the lot! Brilliant location absolutely second to none and a nice and quiet neighbourhood. All in all, a very comfortable stay.

Perfect getaway
Our stay was amazing. My wife and I stayed for 3 days. I wish I would have stayed longer. The apartment had everything we needed. We used the bikes the first day we rode to the Santa Monica pier any to Venice Beach. It was an easy ride. The host was very easy to communicate with. Hopefully we can make another trip to California and stay again.

Fantastic stay!
This space was perfect for our family of 4 with two young kids for a short 2 night stay. Owner was friendly and communication was easy when we had a question. Location to beach and pier could not be beat! Quick walk to the beach was awesome with young kids in tow. We used the sand toys and beach towels offered to us by the owners. Both bed in bedroom and trundle bed were comfortable. We would definitely stay again.
