Might be the best VRBO we’ve stayed in. Location is excellent and this home is loaded with everything you need for a comfortable beach stay. Our family of 6 had a great week and Craig is a top notch communicator. We’re already talking about our next stay.

We had a wonderful stay at Craig and Irene’s beach house! The home is beautifully decorated, comfortable, and was perfect for our family. We loved the 3 stories and the top desk was so relaxing with the jacquizzi. The kitchen had everything we needed, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and bathrooms had amazing showers.We loved being just a short walk from the beach, and having all of the beach equipment available made our stay even better. The beach was peaceful and uncrowded—a nice change from the busier beaches in San Diego and Newport. Keepin mind the beaches are much bigger though, so a longer walk to the water. We also enjoyed the walking paths along the beach, bays, and canals, and loved being able to walk to Venice for dinner. Restaurants, grocery stores, and everything we needed were close by.We had a wonderful time!

From the second we opened the front door we were all amazed how perfect everything looked and how inviting the home is. The pictures of the space on VRBO are more than accurate! Each level of the home has its own charm and is tastefully decorated. The garage was a welcomed bonus!! Craig’s communication was fantastic throughout and the location is PERFECT!! Yes, the location is the best of both worlds-quiet and serene, or walk 10 minutes to awesome restaurants and shops. When we come back, we are definitely staying here again!!

Excellent Stay

My husband, four kids and I stayed for 9 nights at this beautiful condo right across the street from the beach. There was plenty of space and bathrooms for everyone. The kitchen was amazing! We loved the location and all of the space. The hosts were incredibly responsive and helpful!

Beautiful beach house

Great weekend in MDR

We have rented many times on VRBO. This was our best experience. The house was immaculate with high end amenities big and small. The kitchen was incredible and equipped with anything you could think you need for cooking. Finally, the owners were very courteous, flexible, and responsive

Amazing location and views

This property is better than the pictures. Location is so close to beach, food, and shopping. We loved the easy access and quick walk to the beach. Even though you’re close to Venice Beach you don’t have the traffic and craziness . The best part of the property (although the entire home is beautiful) is the roof top deck. Watching sunsets as we had cocktails I. The hot tub could not be beat.

great beach stay

We had a great stay at Craig's place. The location is unbeatable, one block from the beach. The house is spacious and well-equipped. We enjoyed using the beach equipment and toys as well as the roof deck hot tub and shower. The beach is not as busy as nearby Venice. Parking is difficult, but the house has a double garage. It's a short drive to local restaurants. We would stay again.

Perfect Marina del Rey Gem! (Local's recommendation)

As a Marina Del Rey resident, finding a vacation rental for a large family influx can be tricky. My own place just isn't ideal for guests. Thankfully, Craig and Irene's Vrbo came to the rescue! Their spacious home was sparkling clean, beautifully decorated, and boasted incredible outdoor areas with stunning beach and sunset views. Craig made everything incredibly smooth and welcoming for our entire group. We truly felt right at home, like extended family visiting. This place is a gem, and I won't hesitate to book it again for future family visits. Don't miss out – book your stay today!

Great place!

Craig’s place was great. We were in for New Years with adult kids. Biked everywhere. Ate a lot - great restaurants all very close. Hiked. Hot tubbed. Roof top is the best view in LA for NYE fireworks! Craig was available and great with communication and recommendations. There is construction on the beach front row, but it didn’t bother us at all. And the view in the roof gives you a beautiful vista of the beach and inlet, as well as watching planes take off and land if you’re into that (no noise)!

We enjoyed our stay here by the beach. The views are great, the rooftop deck with hot tub is beautiful, and there are a lot of great activities just outside the door. We appreciated all the beach gear and bikes provided. The owner was helpful in trying to troubleshoot our tech issues, and was generally very responsive. On the downside, this is not a true three bedroom, the top bedroom is a loft that doesnt allow for any light or sound dampening from the kitchen and living room below. Also, the building itself including common areas has a lot of deferred maintenance, and some of the appointments in the unit are not in great working order (for example all the fans are full of dust so they are unusable,) some of the kitchen gear is a bit old and stained, and some of the cabinets and closet areas meant for guest use are cluttered with the owners personal items. There are a few other examples which just demonstrate a lack of care and attention to detail. These aren’t huge issues on their own, but when you are paying big bucks for a rental, you expect it to sparkle.

A perfect home on the beach. This property has it all; stunning views, spacious layout, all the amenities, AC, etc. Location was key, close enough to enjoy the Santa Monica and Venice Beach Piers, yet secluded from the hustle of the piers for when you want to relax in the morning or late at night. The property came with bikes, boogie boards, beach chairs, etc. This made our beach days so much easier to enjoy, just grab what you need and the beach is ready. Also really loved the proximity to the beach and how quiet it was. We never felt like we were in a tourist attraction and could really relax and enjoy the weekend. The hosts are fantastic, very thorough and put together a thoughtful guide for the home and local areas. The stay here really made the trip that much more relaxing and enjoyable.

Great property for families

Amazing place to rent for a family. Spacious rooms, tons of amenities to enjoy the area (eg, bikes, helmets, beach stuff, scooters) and fast internet access (>200 mbps) for multiple devices to simultaneously stream movies, attend Zoom calls, and get work done. Owner/property manager was super responsive to all questions during our stay. Highly recommend.

Nice place

Overall very good. Best parts were roof top view and set up, parking and great room layout. Challenges were that grill was so dirty we chose not yo clean and use it, construction across the street work is everyday between 7 ans 7:15, and the fact that one main bedroom is a loft open yo the great room did not work out well. Overall we had a nice time but there were a few too many issues and surprises that we were not aware of when booking to make me feel like we got good value for the cost / lack of sleep,

Thanks for your review Tisha. We are glad you enjoyed your stay. In terms of being surprised by the construction and the loft bedroom, we jut wanted to mention that both items are clearly stated on the VRBO website (the quotes are from the VRBO site): (1) "Please note: There is currently construction across the street." Sadly, in Los Angeles, there is always construction going on nearby, especially near the beach! They don't work on Sundays per LA County guidelines. (2) "One (1) master bedroom AND one (1) Master loft bedroom with king size beds, . . . . The master loft bedroom looks over the living room . . . ." While this bedroom is indeed a loft, it also has the best view of the ocean! In terms of the grill, thanks for your note. Had you mentioned it during your stay, perhaps we could have done something about it. But in any event, we will discuss it with our cleaning crew. Again, thanks for staying with us.

Fun beach getaway!

We had a great time at Craig's swank/modern house and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. They've really stepped it up in terms of the decor/bathrooms/kitchen all well appointed. He was a pleasure to deal with and extremely responsive, really knows what he's doing and made it as easy as possible. The house is great-modern and cosy all at once-and really comfortable, and we enjoyed the rooftop spa and views immensely. Great array of extras including bikes, sand toys, and more which were really great to have. Be aware that there is tar on the beach in front of the house so either wear something or be prepared to scrub it off with baby/vegetable oil to which they kindly had ready for us as well. Also, there is construction going on across the street so factor some noise in for weekday stays. Kids had a blast, really fun getaway for us all!
