Amazing place

We loved our stay here. The host was very responsive, super easy to check in, very convenient parking either on the street by the house or half a block down on the beach parking lot with provided permits. The area was close to the beach, restaurants and the Pier. We used the bikes provided by the owner and enjoyed nice rides along the coast line. Would definitely come back if we are ever on the area. Thank you, Elizabeth!

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!

Cannot beat the location! So close to the beach and pier which was fantastic. The house is behind a restaurant which I was not expecting. Our first night, there was a private party that didn’t get started until 10pm but luckily the AC window unit drowned out the noise. The only negative was parking. There are spots in front of the house but it’s first come first serve, so if we were lucky enough to get a spot we didn’t want to move the car and not everything we were doing was walking distance. Overall it’s a great place and would highly recommend.

Great location

The Beach House was a great stay for us in Santa Monica. A fully equipped kitchen is perfect for short stays. Property was clean, private, and within 500m of the famous Santa Monica beach. Property owner was completely accessible but did not infringe. Would definitely recommend and may use again!

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.

Charming beach property

We stayed 3 nights after a cross country drive. Our son was with us the first night and was very comfortable on the day bed in the living room. We enjoyed a nice walk to the pier and into downtown for supper. It was so convenient to keep the car parked at the house and walk 5 minutes down the block to the beach.

A Gem on the Santa Monica Beach

All I can say is "Wow!" This place was perfect! We were in town for a graduation and we wanted a not-too-expensive place that was close to the beach, that would allow us to have a few friends over for celebration, and would let us bring our beloved dog. This wonderfully appointed, immaculately clean, and just one block from the beach home met and exceeded all our expectations. The home is not huge -- "cozy" -- but was perfect for my wife and me. We had another family join us for dinner and the patio area was great for entertaining. Comfortable seating, good gas grill, and a gas heater. Both the grill and the heater had full tanks of gas and the electric ignition worked perfectly!

Property is right behind a restaurant. They were cleaning the parking lot below our windows with a leaf blower at 7:15am!Also, there are 21 steps up to the unit. We are seniors, and with luggage for a 3-day stay, that climb was difficult. The stairs are not a standard tread—they were shallow and not deep enough for normal size feet.The apartment was hot. An air conditioner was in the bedroom but did NOT cool the kitchen or living room spaces.We would not stay again or recommend it to others.

Can't Beat Location

Walk out the front gate, look to your right, and you'll see the ocean! Walk down the hill, and you're five minutes from the pier! The apartment itself is spacious enough for a couple. We cooked several dinners and played cards with our son and daughter-in-law at the diningroom table. All appliances work. Good Wifi connection. The fridge is dormitory size, but you can use a regular one downstairs. Heaters in both the livingroom and bedroom. AC, too, but opening windows is better way to cool off. All in all, checked our boxes.
