A wonderful place in a great location
This was a very cute place. The location was wonderful, about 1 1/2 blocks from the beach and close to great eating places. The check-in went very well, with great communication between the hosts. However, due to the horrific nearby fires, we were unable to fully enjoy the location and left early - we hope that everyone in the area is ok, or will be very soon!

Super cozy house!
We absolutely loved our stay in Santa Monica! The house was so charming and cozy - perfect for hosting our family’s Thanksgiving celebration. While the location was awesome (we absolutely loved being able to walk to the beach every day!), it was a bit noisy being right by the bus stop on Ocean Park Blvd. Lots of traffic, noisy people and sirens going by.

Santa Monica stay
It was a beautiful, well appointed 3 bedroom house with 2 baths. Very comfortable with off street parking which was a real plus in that neighborhood. Easy walk to the beach and bikes to use. Great host. Restaurants in area were great. Could walk.

Beautifully kept house close to the beach
Loved the house and proximity to beach. Very clean and well kept. Easy stroll to shops and restaurants down the street or a little over a mile to 3rd Street Promenade and Santa Monica Pier. So thankful that there were AC units in the house, they worked very well when it got toasty outside. Would stay again in a minute!

Very special beach house!
We loved our stay in this incredible, historic craftsman gem, a 2 minute walk to Santa Monica beach. Main Street restaurants, vintage stores, beach vibes - what’s not to like? We used the bikes provided to cruise Venice Beach bike trail. So much to do. Everything was great - thanks again and we hope to return!
