Xmas
We tried something new this year and wanted to spend Christmas on the Coast. We had a wonderful time as a family. It happened to be the perfect size for all of us. We were able to cook some of our meals and spread out a bit. The place was spotless and very secure. A short walk to the beach and the board walk with several options for coffee and food. The host Stephan was quick to respond and very informative about the neighborhood. We would absolutely love to stay here again

Great property, great facilities and plenty of space
Really comfy property with plenty of space for our family and plenty and very well equipped. More than enough space for the family to have their own space after a full day taking in the city. The team behind this property are great, really responsive and helpful. Location is handy, easy to get to the beach, easy to get to from LAX and secure garage parking which was definitely a bonus. The area itself is interesting, no fault of the property, but Venice has it's unfair share of homeless (it did when we were there at least), making the general area not feel as secure as you'd like. The team were great in letting us know where to avoid at night which is really handy having local knowledge and a young family. Top suggestions for people visiting: * Three beams pizza does fantastic rectangular pizzas for a quick eat when you just need to feed your family quick. * Whole foods is a very short drive away and much more pleasant than shopping in CVS * Mao's was a great little Asian themed restaurant/takeaway * Jennie's ice cream (near Venice beach) does awesome ice cream. We used the property as a base to explore a huge amount of LA. felt like we only scratched the surface but was superb to have a comfy relaxing house to come home too. Family are already suggesting we go back for longer 😀

Lovely house
We loved staying in this beautiful house. It was very clean and well equipped. The pictures shown on the site are authentic. The house has three layers plus rooftop terrace, so there are many stairs and consequently the house is not suitable for very young kids or disabled people. We did not like the neighbourhood, mainly because the house is located close to a main street, which is loud and dirty.

Great location and wonderful overall space!
We had a wonderful stay in this Venice home! My oldest son was getting married and our family came in from out of town to celebrate. The home was perfect for our needs -- lots of room, clean, well-appointed, close to the beach, and comfortable beds. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

Great location!
I stayed here this past week with my family of 3 kids, husband and MIL. My family and I rent on VRBO at least 2x/year and this was by far the best experience we’ve had. Bob and Jim are very responsive to messages and we felt fully taken care of. They met us at the home to give us a quick tour and offered us suggestions on places to go (and avoid) with the kids. The house was in a great location and we were able to walk to the beach, stores, and nightlife. The house is a great size and very clean. They even had small toiletries for us in each bathroom. We would highly recommend this house and the owners and we hope to rent with them again!

Fun at Venice Beach
The location was great, just a short walk to the beach and shops along the strand. The home was exactly as listed, and they were helpful in arranging beds to fit our needs. We had room to get together, and plenty of spaces for each of us to "get away" inside the house. We would be happy to return again!

Exceptional Property
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Venice/Santa Monica. The communications with Bob and James leading up to the visit was seamless and checking in with Stephan was easy as can be. We had my parents (early 80's), my wife and I, and the kids (nieces, nephews, children) ranging from 17 - 25 years. Everyone loved the set-up and amenities. A little more challenging on my mother with the 3 levels and stairs, but that was nothing major. When you enter from the garage, the lower room was a perfect escape for my nephew. Foosball table and comfortable environment. The patio was peaceful and many nights hanging out with family. The second floor included the bedrooms. All had private baths and great space. Two of the rooms are technically master bedrooms so it worked out quite well. Top floor was the kitchen, dining room/sitting area, and family/living room. Plenty of space to navigate and everything we needed was there for cooking and spending time together. Roof deck was a great bonus! It took us about 3-5 minutes to walk to the boardwalk and beach with restaurants and coffee shops all within close proximity. Lots to do and we spent quite a bit of time up towards Santa Monica and over on streets like Abbot Kinney Blvd for dining and shopping. Everything was easy access. Even though it is a busy street, it never affected us and you felt like you were in your own oasis. Would definitely return and enjoyed every minute of our trip.

Family Stay in Venice Beach
Two families stayed together at this great spot near Venice Beach. Kids ages ranged from 2-10 and the house fit 8 of us cozily. We loved the proximity to Venice Beach and Santa Monica. There are so many fun shops and good restaurants in walking distance. The Property Manager welcomed us and showed us around the property. The house has an interesting layout including a nice rooftop area (but be sure to be very mindful of children up there!). We enjoyed our stay and would recommend!

Exceeded Expectations
Despite being just 1900 sq ft, the decorating, furnishings, art and overall placement of such made the house feel far larger. The 2-car garage was stocked with a selection of outdoor and beach supplies, along with 2 sets of washers and dryers. The entry level has a game/family room. The next floor up contains the 3 bedrooms, all with en suite bathrooms. The floor above that has a living room with a small cove area with a twin size bed and dresser for extra sleep space. On the other side of that floor is a family room and dining area with the kitchen next to it. The floor above that was the outdoor rooftop dining area. My own personal disappointment with the house was not being able to see the ocean from there, but that was no sacrifice. Above all, the house was beautifully designed, comfortable and welcoming. The owners were friendly, accessible and amenable to our needs. They also checked in to make sure we had all we needed. This all made for a delightful stay. We highly recommend it.

Bob's Place Near the Beach
We greatly enjoyed our stay. It is quiet and in a great location 2 easy blocks to the beach and a short walk to numerous shops and restaurants. The house was larger than we needed, very nicely furnished and well equipped. The garage was large and included bikes, beach equipment and 2 each fully functional washers and dryers. The "caretaker" was readily available and very pleasant. Only things to be aware of are one flight of stairs to the bedrooms and 2 flights to the kitchen/dining room/living room, uneven temperature control on the 3 floors (max low sixties outside during our stay), and a possibly objectionable painting on the 3rd floor. Overall, I recommend it highly.
