An amazing home in rustic canyon!

We LOVED our stay in this warm and charming house in rustic canyon with ocean views from the deck and incredible breezes through the open doors! Our host Bader was so thoughtful in what is provided in the house and in enabling us to check in earlier and leave later if that was helpful. The location enabled us to not drive as much as We just walked to the beach. Would love to stay there again when we are in town.

Charming home convenient to the Palisades and Malibu

My husband and I stayed here for five nights while visiting family in Westwood. The neighborhood is quiet, yet convenient to PCH and other main streets. The house was very clean; kitchen well equipped. Beds were very comfortable. The host responds quickly to any question. We will definitely book this location again.

Lovely home, quiet neighborhood and excellent host

My family and I had a great time in Santa Monica celebrating Thanksgiving at this home. The home is beautifully maintained and very cozy. Our grandkids loved the games, the adults loved being together in the living room and the deck. All of us enjoy walking and the home is in a very walkable neighborhood and close to the beach. Our hostess was easy to reach and provides lots of information about the area. I highly recommend this property.

Magical stay in Santa Monica

Our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 teens) stayed at this property for a week. The property was immaculately presented, all variables had been thought of. We felt at home as soon as we walked through the door. Location-wise this was exactly what we wanted as we planned to spend most of our time in the Santa Monica area and the coast. It was very easy to access the coastal routes as well as the Blvds leading to Hollywood/Beverly Hills and the Getty Center.

Perfect Santa Monica experience

This is a charming house, spotless, comfortable, well-outfitted with a gorgeous deck, view of the ocean, surrounded by birds and trees. The location is great: 7 minute walk to Ocean Blvd overlooking the ocean or about 10 minutes to walk right on the beach. There are restaurants, grocery stores, Starbucks, shopping--everything you need nearby. It made me wish I lived there. We had two sets of houseguests--a couple and then our family. There was plenty of room, and everyone loved it. Bader, our host, could not have been more attentive. The house already had everything we needed, but she was quick to answer any questions and was always attentive. Great experience all around.

Seaside comfort in LA

This beautiful, eclectic home is located in a quiet neighborhood with great views of the ocean. The home was easy to access and a great base for our vacation. The home is very well appointed with dish ware and cooking utensils. Bader was great to communicate with and very responsive. Traveling with two young kids, I found that the hilly neighborhood was a bit of a challenge for scooters and strollers. We had to go the long route most of the time as the stairs were not easy to navigate with a stroller. But, this comes with the extreme positive of great canyon views of the ocean. This property was a great base for our trip and Bader was great to provide family-friendly recommendations for me and my kiddos.

Truly a great place to stay, short walk to the beach and local spots, easy for Ubers etc to find, central to many things in between Santa Monica, Hollywood/BH, and Malibu, and very relaxing.

Great home in fantastic location

My family and I stayed at Bedar’a place during a recent visit to Santa Monica and it was superb. Great spacious clean home in the Santa Monica canyons, sits up on a hill with views of the beach and ocean. Easy walking access to beach. We spent a good amount of time just enjoying the deck area. Great overall experience with easy check in, well supplied kitchen, comfortable beds, nice furniture and appliances. Just really top notch all around.

“Humming bird haven”

My family & I stayed at Bader’s lovely home & enjoyed her beautiful landscaping & gardens & watching all the humming birds while we sat on the porch drinking our coffee. It felt so remote, yet so close to everything & a short walk to the beach. Very clean & lots of accommodations. We had a wonderful time!

Paradise

I can’t fully express how we loved every last inch of the house, the gardens, the view and the neighborhood. In the Morning when I’d have coffee on the deck if see hummingbirds. At night while i watched the stars come out I’d see an owl. The house is solid and decorated on a way that you feel right at home. The host was attentive and checked in frequently, nothing went wrong while we were there. Everything is fully stocked to cook, just go to the Ralph’s up the hill in the Pacific Palisades and get what your family needs and you’ll start to imagine that you’re lucky enough to live there. I hope to return several more times in the future.

Great, confortable house in a great location

This was our first longer-term house rental so we were nervous about it, but everything about this experience was first-rate. The location is very well-suited for anyone looking to concentrate on the West Side-Santa Monica part of L.A. Avid walkers, we loved the house's relative proximity to the beach and to Santa Monica's Palisades Park. As for the house itself - it was very bright, inviting and comfortable, with a well-furnished kitchen, attractive and comfortable bedrooms and living spaces, and roomy deck spaces (unfortunately we visited during an uncharacteristically cool and wet winter, so could not take advantage of the decks as often as we'd have liked. We took full advantage of the fireplaces, though). The house easily accommodated the two of us, along with a few visitors who passed through during our one-month stay. A one-car attached garage took care of us, but on-street parking is pretty limited so visitors typically had to park a half-block or so away. The owner was very friendly and responsive, both before our stay (answering questions, giving advice on local matters), and while we were there, even coming over quickly once when a power outage hit, followed by immediately ordering and sending over an emergency lantern in case it happened again. We would definitely stay here again. Many thanks, Bader!

Couldn't be better

We had a great time at Bader's house. Everything exactly as described, awesome location, very comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen and I could go on and on. So many great things to mention about this property. This house doesn't feel like a rental, but truly as a home away from home. I highly recommend staying at Bader's house in the Santa Monica Canyon. We certainly will do so again.

About the host

Hosted by Bader Howar

Host profile image
I'm a studio photographer with two sons, one grown and living in the Pacific Northwest and the other is in college here in the area. We are extremely fortunate to live in such an ideal location next to the beach. I spend a lot of my free time playing tennis, beach volleyball, and entertaining in my home.

Why they chose this property

When I first discovered Santa Monica Canyon I knew that I could live here forever. It is a small and friendly community Surrounded by greenery with hidden steps and various levels of the small canyon to explore. It is completely unlike any other area in Los Angeles. It feels very remote tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city yet downtown Santa Monica and Venice are minutes away and downtown L.A.and Hollywood and all the city has to offer is within a hours drive. Truly the best of both worlds!

What makes this property unique

On certain days one can hear the sound of waves breaking as they roll up the canyon. Other unique benefits are the tropical parrots singing in my trees and as well as hawks soaring above. I love that we can walk to the beach and great restaurants and pubs and have such easy access to some of the best hikes in the area. Santa Monica has a fantastic bus system for those who don't have access to a car or use Uber or Lift.
