LOCATION
Westchester is a beautiful, family friendly and well located neighborhood with gorgeous weather! You will love taking long walks around the neighborhood!

Nearby destinations:
The closest Beach is Playa Del Rey, about a 7 minute drive from us and a quaint beach town with a family oriented feel. Playa Del Rey is a perfect spot for bicycling along the ocean bike path going south all the way to Redondo Beach. I recommend you stop for lunch at Martha's on 22nd in Hermosa Beach.

Marina del Rey, is located about a ten minute drive Northwest. It is L.A's upscale boat harbor, take a stroll, paddle kayak or paddle boat, enjoy a sunset sail! A quaint part of Marina Del Rey is Fisherman's Village where you'll find the following: Bicycle rentals are available from 'Daniel's Bicycle Rental & Sales.'
Live Music: Free concerts on the weekends are held in fountain square Jazz, Funk, Blues, Reggae, Rockabilly, Salsa and Rock.
Cruises: Tiki Mermaid Charters and Hornblower. Cruises Boat Rentals: Hourly/daily rental of power, sail and electric boats and kayaks.
Fishing: Public 'Open Party' fishing trips are offered twice daily from the docks.
Dining: 'El Torito' (Mexican), 'Angler's Choice' (Seafood) and 'Sapori' (Italian) Cafe Al Fresco', 'Thai Garden Cafe' and 'Lighthouse Grill' Harbor. 'Salt' is a favorite for a fancy night out to eat right on the water!

Venice Beach, about a 15 minute drive Northwest has a countercultural vibe and a perpetual carnival of dancers, drummers and street performers. Just inland from the beach, the trendy Abbot Kinney Blvd is lined with cafes, boutiques and restaurants. Best coffee and coolest place is Intelligentsia Coffee & Tea.

Santa Monica, about a 20 minute drive North, has plenty to offer for tourists. The colorful city of Santa Monica is sandwiched between Venice and Malibu along the beautiful coastline of the Pacific Ocean. With three great shopping destinations, shopping here is a must! You have 3rd Street Promenade, Montana Ave and Main Street. The Santa Monica Pier features the famous Pacific Park: a family amusement park with a large Ferris wheel, a vintage carousel built in the 1920s, an aquarium, shops, entertainers, an arcade, a pub, and restaurants. The Santa Monica Pier is a must-see destination!
The Santa Monica Farmer's Market (Wednesday & Saturdays) is one of the best!

Hollywood is about a 13 mile drive Northeast, there are plenty of tourist attractions in Hollywood. Drive up to get a closer look at the Hollywood sign, there's plenty of parking to view the sign by Lake Hollywood Park. Sunset Ranch Hollywood, offers a variety of daily trail rides through Griffith Park. Park somewhere close or at Hollywood Blvd and walk on the sidewalks with all the stars and stop at Grauman's Chinese Theatre. Other places to visit are the Hollywood Bowl, Roosevelt Hotel, and Universal Studios.

NOTES: Please note there is some plane noise from LAX and earplugs are available for your convenience. We do not mind it at all and I am a VERY light sleeper, but people are different so please be aware.

-For guests that have no verification with VRBO, we kindly ask for a PDF image of your ID or passport before arriving at our home. Thank you!
I'm looking for guests that are very clean and will maintain my home in its beautiful condition.
I love my home and am sure you will enjoy it as much as I do!

Family goes to Super Bowl

The accommodations were clean, comfortable and accessible. The crown jewel of this property is the spacious and private backyard where we spent most of our time eating, drinking and catching up. The addition of the guesthouse is perfect for a larger group with the clarification that the third bedroom is the guesthouse. Kim, the property owner, was very responsive and she convinced her family to cheered for our team in the Super Bowl!

College drop-off stay

Perfect for me, my USC student, his older brother, and their dad, to spread out. We rented the guesthouse as well. Close to airport, but minimal noise. Lots of hummingbirds live in the cozy back yard. Very roomy kitchen with multiple groceries nearby. We would stay again, for sure!

House was infested with large flying cockroaches.

House was infested with large flying cockroaches inside both houses and outside in the back of house and in the front of the house. I have pictures .Because of this my family packed up and left .House was not clean , we went in cleaning inside and outside . No where to hang clothes the closets were all full . Poor quality of linen we used our own . The tables had to be covered we purchased table cloths . The outdoor grill was a hazard and did not work . The cost of the rental and the cost of the fees was extreme for the conditions . Rental owners should be held accountable for jeopardizing what is suppose to be a legitimate website .

Perfect getaway!

Such a beautiful home and property! Me and my friends stayed at Kim’s house for about a week and wouldn’t change a single thing. Check in and check out were a breeze, the host was very responsive and everything was exactly as listed. The neighborhood felt very safe too. We wish we could’ve stayed longer! Highly recommend for familIes and groups looking to stay in a quieter area but still very close to everything. Thanks again!

Excellent stay

This is a lovely, spacious, and inviting home. It is up to date and nicely decorated. The backyard is a gem. We looked forward to returning to the house after a long day of sight seeing. The property is in a quiet neighbourhood very close to the airport and other amenities, and only minutes away from the highway.

Great stay in LA

This lovely home is one of the nicest short-term furnished rentals I have ever encountered, and I've experienced dozens. The location in Westchester puts it close to the great dining scenes in El Segundo, Venice, Culver City, and Manhattan Beach. The house is cozy and well-equipped and the check-in procedures could not have been easier. The Nest climate control device will keep you comfortable no matter what the weather. And the owners are nice and responsive. Very highly recommended.

Great family friendly property

Westchester Vacation Rental

We just stayed at this amazing rental for 5 nights and 6 days. Centrally located to all destinations. Supermarket is down the street, parking is not a problem at all.. The House was furnished beatifically, very comfortable couches and beds. Open floor plan ...very comfy. There is a really nice backyard ...very private. Kim very extremely accommodating...and very responsive every time I reached out. It was a pleasure dealing with her.

A special home close to the beach, shopping and LAX

Meticulously clean, beautiful home with a lovely, private yard! Kim and Justin provided everything one could need, plus several little extras in case their guests forgot to bring toiletries. Nice touch. Great home for a family with children or pets. My daughter and I loved our stay and hope to return.

Beautiful, clean, comfortable, spacious, and functional. I love it!

This house is a great place to stay while visiting West Los Angeles. I stayed for a few days and had a wonderful vacation! The house is beautiful and very comfortable. I have two kids, so it’s particularly nice to have a backyard. Since it is completely private and secured from the front yard, it is very safe. It's nice to have our own space and privacy. Getting an entire house to ourselves is much better than staying in a hotel, and it was a much better deal. I didn't even need to get a car while staying there. The kitchen is fantastic. I loved cooking breakfast and eating in. We could also walk to Vons, Trader Joe's, to get frozen yogurt, lunch, etc. Lyft got us everywhere else. We went to the marina, the beach, hiking, and other entertainment unique to LA. Kim and Justin are really friendly, and we plan on staying at their house whenever we come visit next!

Fantastic rental!

I travel to Los Angeles for work on a regular basis so I stayed in Justin and Kim's house for just a few days and had a wonderful experience. The short trip from LAX is so convenient! Plus, I was able to get to meetings in silicon beach within minutes. From the beginning, Kim and Justin were extremely helpful and easy to communicate with. They were very attentive. Their house is beautiful! It's very clear that they take great care of their home down to the last detail. The towels, linens etc. were very clean and looked like new, which is very important to me. Their kitchen is very spacious with a lot of counterspace and awesome to cook in. My favorite part was the backyard! I ate my lunch out there every day and it was extremely pleasant. There is a huge hedge all the way around it so it is very private, like your own retreat! At night, the Pergola lights up automatically with string lights and it is so pretty! I also enjoyed doing my work in the backyard, or at the desk they have in their sunroom which overlooks the backyard. It was super pleasant and I was able to focus Way more than when I try to work from a hotel. They have a wireless printer too which was super convenient and they let me use their office supplies which was awesome! Overall I will definitely stay here again as my experience was much superior to staying at a hotel (more comfortable, private, flexible and less expensive.) In the past when I have come for conferences I have stayed at hotels near LAX, but their house is a much better place to stay. I could go for walks around the neighborhood as opposed to being stuck in a hotel. My trip felt more like a vacation than a work thing! thanks Kim and Justin!!
