Review submitted: August 22, 2012   Date of arrival: April 2, 2012

We loved this house! It was well furnished and equipped and there are lots of little areas in the
home to get away and read a book.

We stayed for two and a half months and enrolled the kids in the Santa Monica schools.
It is a great location, close to the park, Main St., the beach and Whole Foods! Wonderful area to run and walk.
Great restaurants, markets in walking distance. Very safe neighborhood and a great vibe! Really a
home away from home~

A pleasant place to relax

...a pleasant 1920s vintage cottage with room to relax with family or friends. Rooms provide for 6-8 with additional space for others to flop. The layout of the rooms provides adequate privacy but all guests should be comfortable with each other. Two batrooms are shared. Pleasty of bedding and towels, dishes and tableware. The upstairs two bedrooms are accessible by means of a spiral staircase and, from my view, intended for immediate family to share the space with floor space for children to play. We loved the airiness and had the windows open as wide as we could most of the time. Great small space on the roof for a few to sit and relax; have breakfast, drink, snack, or small meal. The exterior needs some repair and the ovens were not especially cared for (dirty). They were not used while we were there but assumed to work fine. We took great pleasure in using the gas grill in the back and although it has a couple years on it, it worked very well. Lots of ups and downs and bumps throughout the house and not meant for wheel chairs or those who have trouble walking or stepping up and down. The walk to the beach is more of a hike than it is to the grocery store but doable and we did.

Recommended for: adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, tourists without a car

A Great Holiday with Friends

Review submitted: June 13, 2011   Date of arrival: May 27, 2011

I rented the property to visit Santa Monica and invited eight friends to spend Memorial Day weekend here.
It’s a beautiful house, and had more than enough space for my entire party. Immediately when we walked into the front gate, we noticed the yard filled with an assortment of beautiful flowers and plants, which were in full bloom. The property is very quaint and made me feel as if I was in my own home and not some hotel, which I loved. The backyard was even lovelier than the front and came equipped with a barbeque and enough seating for us all. That Friday night we went to Whole Foods Market, which was practically right around the corner from the house, picked up some food and we barbequed and listened to music in the backyard.
The next day we made our way to the beach, which is only a few blocks away from the property.
We spent our time exploring the many local shopping and eating places which are also within walking distance also from the property. We enjoyed the area very much, and I will definitely rent this property again the next time I’m in the Los Angeles area !
