About this property

Charming Beach Bungalow with Patio and Carport, Pet friendly

Welcome to the ultimate Venice experience: a cute beach cottage, authentic and comfortable. Close to everything in Venice and Santa Monica. Head out for shopping and for the night to famous Abbot Kinney Blvd, just 1 block away. All hotspots of Venice are at walking distance: canals, Main St, Muscle Beach, skate park... Carport included. All surfaces are professionally cleaned and disinfected.

There is only one floor, so it's easy to access. There are a few steps to walk down from the kitchen to the bedroom and a patio in the bedroom.

The unit is 600 square feet and has a combination of hardwood floor and tiles flooring. It has one bedroom with a queen-size bed that sleeps two people comfortably. In the living room, a sofa pulls out to convert to a queen-sized bed which sleeps two people as well. The kitchen separates the living room and the bedroom, there is no separation door.

One bathroom with a shower and a tub, shampoo, shower gel, beach towels and a hairdryer are provided. A fully-equipped kitchen (four burners stove, oven, refrigerator, toaster, coffee pot, kettle, microwave, crockery and cutlery for four people, cooking utensils).

In the bedroom, you will find a yoga mat, an iron, an ironing board and beach gear (bodyboard, beach chairs...).

If you have a car, you can park it in our carport. Otherwise, street parking is easy and free. Just make sure to read the signs for the street cleaning (Monday on one side of the street and Tuesday on the other side, from noon to 2pm).

The check-in procedure is automated so you don't need to worry about late arrivals or having to wait for us at the property. We accommodate early check-ins at 1pm and late check-outs at 1pm for a fee of $50 each. Just let us know your time of arrival and departure prior; you will pay us the extra fee directly after booking. We charge $10 per pet per night. Please let us know how many pets you're bringing. The pet fee is included in the price if you're adding your pets when booking. According to Vrbo guidelines, a camera on the porch films everyone's comings and goings.

There is no AC in the bungalow as in most of the buildings in Venice. There is always a nice breeze though, as we are so close to the ocean. We provide two portable fans and there is a ceiling fan in the bedroom. Please, use the fans only in case of heat wave, otherwise open the windows to save electricity. Thanks!

With the invigorating air of the ocean nearby, the Californian lifestyle and the animated restaurants and bars of Venice Beach, you really feel like being on vacation all year round here...

Really lovely beachy bungalow
We had an amazing stay at this bungalow. The location is perfect - 5 mins walk from the gorgeous shopping/restaurants/cafes on Abbott Kinney Boulevard (Butcher's Daughter is great!) and then Venice Beach and the canals are just after that - all very easy walking distance. Its a really gorgeous neighbourhood and the bungalow also has parking. Inside its quite small but perfect for 2 people. Thank you!

Clean, Cute Neighborhood
We found it close, quiet and perfect for a casual beach weekend. Loved that I could bring my dog and to be trusted to be respectful without ridiculous fees or conversations. I have a well behaved bully breed, so it was nice to not deal with an overwhelmed owner who (rightfully so) fears dog damages. If I'm in the area again, this would be a fast choice.

Early Christmas, Belated Birthday Getaway
We were very satisfied with everything. It's cozy, warm, quirky, with its own vibe, in an excellent neighborhood, with its own charm. Quiet, quiet, and more quiet. We loved it and it was a very accommodating experience, as we expected it to be.Go stay and see for yourself... it is what you make it.If you've got a dog(s), be aware there are additional cleaning fees.Communication with host and checking in/out is straightforward and a breeze.

Disgusting filthy place
We couldn’t stay there. It was so filthy. We have a complaint at VRBO to follow up to get a full refund. There was black bold Bathroom, and on the wall the tub was disgusting black mold in all the grout. The mattress was so filthy. It looks like something you’d find on the street being dumped. Owner said we had no right to look at the mattress. She also wanted us to pretend that we were friends with her if any of the neighbors ask obviously she’s not supposed to be running that and we didn’t know that until after we had booked it.

Great location, old bungalow
Communication was excellent, especially since I messed up the dates I needed. Instructions were excellent. Location was also excellent as it is walkable to the beach and the many restaurants on Abbott Kinney. The pictures did not match reality. It's a pretty old bungalow.

Birthday Trip
Loved the beach house vibe of the place. Great location just a 10 minute walk to Venice. Easy parking for the most part. Host was very friendly, accommodating and a great communicator. Let me bring my pitbull with me when most places don’t allow that. Me and my girlfriend had a fun trip and liked it. Definitely would recommend 👍

Great location and host!
Excellent location! Host was very helpful and friendly. Great communication and easy check in and out. The cottage was nice although it had a slightly mildewy smell. All of the other cottages on the street seemed to have chairs and or tables in front, but this one has a rule about not being on the front porch or sitting in the front grass area, which was disappointing because it’s on a lovely street. Overall a great place for a short stay close to shops, restaurants, and the beach.

Great stay, cool neighborhood, close to everything
The host was super accommodating and easy to communicate with. The other reviews were accurate and the stay was what I expected. The only negative were the 'rules' which discouraged enjoying the front porch.

Great Location!
My girlfriend and I were in CA for a wedding and decided to book this location last minute. The location was absolutely perfect. You’re within walking distance from multiple shops as well as walking distance from Venice Beach. In addition, you’re only a short drive from LA (without traffic). The host was extremely kind and accommodating. The house was slightly dated and could use a facelift, but the location makes up for that. We did encounter some slight bug issues due to having to leave the windows open for cooling, but otherwise we have no complaints. We would definitely stay there again!

We really enjoyed our walks to local hangouts. Park your car in the provided carport and walk the boardwalk or Abbot Kinney Blvd or Main St to Santa Monica or go for a run on the boardwalk from Venice to Will Roger’s State park.

Overall, this stay was great, very clean, comfortable and walking distance to Abbot Kinney and the center of Venice Beach. It’s everything one could hope for in a mid level rental in the area. It’s quite close to neighboring houses so definitely not where one would want to have late night noisy guests, out of respect for the neighbors. The parking is super convenient as well. The cottage has a slight moldy smell, but it’s older and close to the beach, so impacted by the dampness of the marine layer in the mornings. The host was very responsive and directions for checkin were clear and easy to follow. I would stay here again. Highly recommended.

Bungalow
Great communication with the host. Location is easy to get to and close to the beach. The best part was at the beach. The place was not as clean as the pictures. It could use a professional house cleaning service, gardener, and fresh paint. Patio uninviting full of leaves. Neighbors upstairs was noisy at night we got little to no sleep. We will not be staying here again.

Bungalow dans quartier calme à un block de la rue centrale
Nous avons apprécié le séjour chez Marnie pour profiter de l'océan avant de repartir en Europe. L'environnement est calme et safe, avec des balades possibles à pied à la mer ou pour aller voire les architectures singulières de Venice. Pas loin de l'aéroport non plus. Logement "dans son jus" mais bien équipé avec une grande chambre à l'arrière. Idéal à Venice
