THE MAIN HOUSE

This spacious architectural home, designed by noted architect, John Porter, is the ultimate Venice hideaway. It's located in the heart of Venice, one of the best locations in Los Angeles, California. Located on a quiet one-way street, the famous Abbot Kinney is just steps away. With  vaulted wood ceilings and plenty of skylights, it's bright and airy, totally relaxing...

The house has a fully equipped kitchen that opens to a private deck, perfect for al fresco dining. Indoors, you can cuddle around the cozy fireplace. The tropical garden is a tranquil setting, great for a picnic or sitting by the fire pit BBQ. Each of the three bedrooms sleeps two; 2 queen beds and 2 twins that can made up as a king or as two singles.  There is also a trundle daybed upstairs to sleep up to a total of 8 guests in beds, or more on a comfortable aerobed or couch.

Paint splattered floors contrast with modern furnishings; a comfy queen bed with fluffy down bedding, a modular couch that can be put together to sleep 1-2 more, a 32" Sony plasma flat panel HDTV, lots of books and magazines, and a stereo. Sleeps 4 (or more on aerobeds.)
