About this property

The Breeze - romantic beach oasis 1/2 Block to Beach

Imagine staying in a airy, bright, French country style cottage situated in a lush tropical garden only 1/2 block away from wonderful Venice Beach. Our 2 bedroom 1 bath Breeze Cottage has been completely remodeled by a local LA interior/production designer, who has years of experience in film & television, and has created a one-of-a-kind vacation rental. All the rooms exude the peace and tranquility of a French country resort.

You know you’re going somewhere special as you enter the bamboo fenced yard that surrounds The Breeze Cottage. You enter to find a luscious front yard with 4 person Jacuzzi next to a hand crafted grass and teak hut where you can lounge away the afternoons in the shade. The large deck with two wicker club chairs is perfect for relaxing in the sun, and are next to a bistro table for outdoor dining. There’s even an outdoor shower to wash off your sandy toes when you come home from the beach.

The main area of the Breeze Cottage is open and airy with a fully-equipped kitchen overlooking the dining and living room. They are separated from the front yard and deck by wall to wall sliding glass doors creating a seamless indoor/outdoor experience. It is perfect for watching little ones play outdoors or simply enjoying the scenery of the lush garden. The new custom kitchen has bead board cupboards, new stainless steel appliances and a farmhouse sink. The living area has a comfortable oversized sofa (with queen fold-out bed), 42” flat screen HDTV, BlueRay DVD player, CD player, and cable. The dining area has seating for 6. You can add the bistro table to serve 8.

The entire unit has hardwood floors throughout with unique furnishings from around the world. All of the closet doors are of distressed wood imported from India, they full of charm and character. The furnishings are reminiscent of a cottage in the South of France.
The charming master bedroom has a comfortable king size bed with gorgeous wood headboard and a flat screen HDTV equipped with cable. The second bedroom is quaint with a antique wrought iron head board and cozy queen size bed. There is a comfortable sleeper queen-size sofa in the living room.

The Breeze Cottage has one parking space, a full sized washer and dryer, Wi-Fi, plus heating & air conditioning.

Need more room? There is a option to conjoin the Breeze Cottage with our Le Petite Studio. Adjacent to the Breeze Cottage is a delightful studio apartment with its own kitchenette, bath & quaint patio. The studio also has a flat screen HDTV, BlueRay DVD player and cable. The charming bathroom boasts a wonderful, restored antique claw foot tub. The bed can be made up as a king or 2 extra-long twins, your choice. Sleeps 2 very comfortably. One parking space comes with the unit as well.
If you are interested in adding the extra room please inquire.

Left and went to a hotel
First of all, do not let the name of this apartment unit confuse you. It is not a cottage, it is an apartment with adjoining rooms and paper thin walls. Hot tub was not usable. We told Bernadette on day one that it smelled bad and her assistant via text message the following day. They did call to have a service man to come out to clean it on day three. Once you can use the hot tub expect the upstairs residents to watch you out their window the whole time. Also, my husband had to fix the toilet because it took 5 minutes and multiple attempts to flush. Do not play an acoustic guitar in the living room after 9:00 pm or Byrnadette will call you with noise complaints, threaten to call the police, threaten eviction, and threaten to keep your $1000 deposit. Byrnadette will also verbally abuse you calling you names, calling you a pot smoker, and that you are hallucinating. This is all not true. She also said that there were 5 guests at the apartment when there were only 2. So we got charged an additional $125 for extra guests before we even arrived. There were only two people in a unit advertised of sleeping 8 people. Read the lease agreement carefully. Byrnadette will also take your deposit if your kids make too much noise playing. I wrote a 25 page formal complaint letter to Home Away about the harassing management with documentation about the verbal abuse and name calling. My husband left the apartment and got a hotel and loved the rest of his vacation.

Cute, Comfortable and Convenient!
We really loved our stay at the Breeze cottage. The location couldn’t have been better. We walked everywhere (or used the electric scooters that were everywhere). This was our first time to Venice and we really enjoyed it and will be back! We would stay here again in a heartbeat. The decor is cute and distressed (intentionally). The beds were very comfy. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is that it is a little run down in some aspects. This didn’t bother us much, but I can see where other guests are coming from in that regard and wouldn’t call it “5 stars.” But we would go back. And it’s a solid 4 stars. Examples of what was a bit run down: no clocks set to correct time, hot tub had some sand/dirt in it, trash cabinet didn’t close or open well, some of the pans and towels could use an upgrade. But, again, we still really enjoyed our stay and our Venice Beach experience :)

good location
The back yard was a little hard for our 2 year old because it is very uneven. The neighbor left the outside light on all night so it was shining into the sofa sleeper all night. the location was good and the cottage is cute. We very much enjoyed our time in Venice.

Well decorated, but it is an apartment and not a stand-alone cottage in a very funky area of town
We arrived with no one to great us, despite the pre-arranged day and time of arrival with the owner 2 weeks prior. I sent several sms to the owner a few hours prior to our arrival, as a reminder, but she was travelling abroad and her mailbox was full :-( Luckily, we met a neighbour who happened to be renting the apartment upstairs and put us in touch with the owners assistant Kaylee who was sweet and very helpful. She gave us the code to the lock-box with the keys, but we entered the apartment to find that the cleaning crew had not come. Kaylee apologised and came over herself to clean the place and give us new (out of the box) bed sheets and towels while we went to dinner. She was still there cleaning at 10pm when we got home and needed to put our kids to bed. If it were not for Kaylee, it would have been a total disaster. We later discovered that the owner had come down with the Novo Virus in Europe. All in all, our stay was fine, but the owner should be more forthcoming with the arrangements. The Breeze "Cottage" is part of an Apartment Complex that consists of an upstairs apartment (where we heard the footsteps of the family above!)and an adjacent single apartment that one can rent along with the 2-bedroom offer of the Breeze Cottage. Since we had not rented the single, it was rented to another couple. So not only was there noise and light from upstairs, there was also nice from behind the ocked door in the hallway next to our bedroom (they had a separate entrance from the back alley). Venice Beach is a one-of-a-kind place where millionaires homes sit between run-down beach shacks on "Walk-Streets", where cars are not aloud. It sounds charming, but the overall look and feel of the area is rundown and trashy and our walk-street was frequented by a mentally ill man with a skin disease who frightened my kids. Needless tos ay, I did not find the lodging suitable for our family with young children, but I should have been better informed about the area. Within 10 blocks in either direction the area improves greatly. What's great about the property is its proximity to many good restaurants. The beach itself (reachable in 5 min. by walking through the bustle of the Venice Boardwalk and a parking lot,) has beautiful white sand. The water is clean and warm and the lifeguards are very friendly. If you are ok with some funkiness and questionable locks on the door, the decor of the apartment and yard (as seen in the photos) is really cute
