Wonderful Relaxing Stay
My partner and I had a great stay at the Dreamy White Venice property. Kathleen was an incredible host, very accommodating, and easy to communicate with. The exterior and interior of the cottage is so thoughtful in design. It's a special space to relax and unwind in. Every corner of the space has unique touches. The neighborhood is quiet with plenty of restaurants and bars to walk to. We would love to plan another visit back.

This is a very comfortable home well located on a quiet street in the heart of Venice. The place is larger than the pictures make it appear and has everything you might want for comfort and cooking. The host was very responsive and helpful. Really great spot.

Charming Stay
This property was a lovely, spacious home base for our adult family of 5. Easy street parking and fantastic location close to the coast. We enjoyed the outdoor space and being surrounded by flowers. We very much appreciated access to beach chairs, towels, umbrella and a cart, and the care Kathleen demonstrated to us before and during our stay. This house has great character!

A Piece of Heaven
This house is as luscious as it looks in the photos. The kitchen is more than fully stocked, as are the bathrooms. The mattresses in the beds are incredibly comfortable. The owner was available and generous in her support of our stay. Highest praise for this gem of a rental.

Lovely Stay
We had a lovely stay at Kathleen's. The location was perfect for us and was close enough to all the main sites and shops in Venice (it's about a 20min walk to Abbot Kinney). Kathleen was a very responsive host (she stays in the cottage at the back of the property) and went out of her way to provide things for our daughter which helped us immensely after a long flight! The house itself is spacious and on a nice street. The bed is exceptionally comfortable and Kathleen provides ample towels, sheets and blankets.

wonderful home in great location
This is our second time at this home. We love the feel of the place. It is spacious, has more than enough towels and many other comforts, and the kitchen is great to cook in. This trip we got to walk around the neighborhood more and my young son was delighted to discover many swings and trees to climb. Fun!

I will be back! Kathleen was a great host and responsive right away when we reached out. Her home is charming; beds are comfy, lots of pillows and blankets for chillin, well stocked kitchen and a charming garden. Abbot Kinney and the beach are a walk away through a lovely neighborhood. The perfect place to enjoy Venice.

French county, shabby chic, whitewashed, quirky, cozy & romantic... Piles of pillows and blankets. Light trickling in through lacy, sheer drapes. Pretty surprises everywhere. Very comfortable mattress. Centrally located for everything we were doing while in SoCal, this air B&B fulfilled our needs. There is even a matching kitty that visits (if you want).

Comfortable stay
Overall the home is very nice. The beds and furniture are very comfortable. Our host, Kathleen, was very responsive and communicated well. The neighborhood is cute and convenient. Two things should be noted. Both bathroom showers are claw tubs so somewhat challenging to get in and out - we saw that one was but missed that both are the same. It was a minor issue for us but maybe not doe others. The other thing worth noting was that the owner has a lot of personal things in the refrigerator, pantry and cabinets. She is very kind and doesn’t seem to mind if you use her products, but it was unusual compared to other rentals we’ve had. I would recommend it for location, space and the very comfortable beds!!

Magical Cottage
My daughter and I stayed in Kathleen's White Cottage during our trip for the Taylor Swift Eras Concert. It was the perfect place to stay for a girls trip as it has a wonderful, magical vibe, with its white decor and well placed accessories. Very clean and neat and a well stocked kitchen. We felt completely safe, left the front door open during the day to let the breeze in. Kathleen was so friendly and gave us so many great suggestions for restaurants and places to go. We were within walking distance to a nice restaurant she suggested - Superba. Great place for breakfast and lunch. I highly recommend this property!

Look no further, book now!
WOW! This was one of my FAVORITE properties I have ever stayed at. Kathleen is SO nice and accommodating and her home is absolutely magical. Photos truly do not do this place justice. The beds were so comfortable, the home was extremely clean, and the are was amazing. The design and decor in this place is...unreal. Extremely gorgeous!! The neighborhood is walkable and there is ample street parking (which I was worried about). When we are back in the area we will definitely be booking again. Thank you Kathleen!

Visiting Family in LA
I stayed with my two young adult children, and the house was so beautiful!! Kathleen was very accommodating with our early arrival and late checkout. Everything we needed (and then some) was provided. We felt very safe, and walked to breakfast a couple of times to Superba and then to Abbot Kenney for some shopping. My son rented a birdie and cruised the neighborhood a bit. Stayed four days, visiting my brother that lives in the area. We will definitely reach out to Kathleen again for our next trip! Wonderful location, easy access to everything. Thank you Kathleen, we made some amazing memories! Katie
