Beautiful Stay in Venice Beach!

Had an awesome time staying here this summer. The space is fun, cozy and just one block from the beach! Has everything you may need, parking, laundry, and a lovely outdoor patio area. Lots to do in the area like biking, skating, and walking the pier. Definitely recommend staying here :)

Cute Bohemian Vibe

Adorable small apartment, converted garage. I loved the tile floors, counters, and painted accents. The outdoor space, cabana, courtyard, was comfortable too! Just a half block to the Venice walk/bike trail/beach. Although we were here during a heat wave and there isn’t AC, we were still quite comfortable.

The owners of the property we're very kind, and explained the where abouts of near by stores.. and sight seeing, and things available to us on the property. It was about 2 minutes from the beach, and boardwalk on Venice Beach. I will definitely stay there again.

Let the Good Vibes Roll!

I loved this place. I loved the vibe and good energy. It was super clean and Sydney and Kevin were very friendly and helpful. I celebrated my big 5-0 while staying here. Kevin recommended a place to eat on Abbot Kinney Str and it was amazing...thank you Kevin!! I also loved the decor. Something fun to discover everywhere. I want the duck bathroom garbage can! I highly recommend this place. If I ever pass through Venice Beach again ...I know I will be staying here.

Boho Beach Charm In The Center Of It All!

I recently stayed at the beach house nine days over July 4 weekend. The location was excellent, you could walk to any sites in Venice you might wish to see. And if you're lucky you might see some celebrities on your visit, as I did! The place had a wonderful outdoor living space, perfect for taking in the great weather. And it was excellent to have a full kitchen and washer and dryer. The hosts were great and super helpful, I'd stay there again!

Perfect for me and Makszidog

Makszidog and I drive to Venice for a month to escape Michigan winters. How lucky this year to find this wonderful, in so many ways, comfortable home away from home. A minute from the beach, so close to the canals, great walks abound just out our door, easy drive to all the good L.A. area museums, music and theatre, kind and caring landlords, great private cabana. Only thing that could be better was the weather. I seem to have brought the Michigan cold with me! I'll work on that next year, hoping to return

Great place for our Venice holiday!

My mum and I stayed here for our four day LA getaway. Was exactly as described, wonderfully maintained, lots of little extras, and very close to everything we wanted (beach, Santa Monica, shops, art galleries). Kevin and Sydney were warm and friendly hosts with recommendations for food and sights. We would highly recommend this cozy property. Thanks!!!!

A Studio Oasis!! Very quaint and decorated so beautifully!

What a cute, beautifully decorated studio just a block or so from the action of Venice Beach! The bungalow is so refreshing and has all the amenities and toiletries you would need! Kevin and Sydney take pride in ensuring that you will have a great vacation in their studio! Chocolates, coffee, top grade toiletries, emergency stuff in bathroom, kitchen outfitted, beach chairs, umbrella and cooler! The location is PERFECT and was a fabulous home base for our busy athletic touring of biking, kayaking, parasailing, walking, beaching, shopping and more. We did not rent a car as we had friends who live in LA. For three days we walked, biked or Ubered (evening) everywhere! (Our friend came with a car the last two days). Venice Beach, Santa Monica, Palisades, Marina Del ray and more! So easy to get around and lots of Ubers for short money. By Uber/car, only a half hour from LAX, 10 minutes to Santa Monica, 15 minutes to Marina Del Ray and an hour to Malibu. We stayed Wed through Sunday and it was serene and quiet at this corner lot, until Saturday. Weekend traffic was definately heard on this busy street and there was construction on the block but the construction people did not start until a considerate 8:30am :-) It was SO quiet and serene the whole time except Sat afternoon/evening. The patio was our favorite place to hang out! Nice little decorating touches here too!! The beds were comfortable and well dressed. We did use the pullout which was a little hard but still very accomodating! Fan over beds which was cooling! Mid 70-'s to mid 80's weather when we were there so it was cool and comfy at night and reasonable mid day under the patio roof. Probably would need another fan for summer months. Loved our stay at the bungalow!!! Thanks for all the suggestions Kevin, on eating, take out, groceries and activities! Ciao Sydney and Kevin!!

BEAUTIFUL Venice Casita!!!

This is the perfect couples getaway! Upon arrival both Kevin and Sydney gave us the 5 star treatment! Kevin gave us the inside scoop for living the beach life. With the Casita being just seconds away from the beach it made for the most amazing experience. The house was very clean, with all the amenities to make our stay relaxing! The outside cabana is perfect for having an afternoon beverage before taking a nice walk down the strand. Thanks again! Can't wait to return!!!

Amazing studio just footsteps from Venice Beach

You could not ask for a more accommodating owner than Kevin! He was just great. The property is small, but isn't everything that close to the beach; however, the bedroom/living room is large enough (great bed) and the kitchen and bathroom are more than adequate. Bathroom and kitchen contained everything one would ever need including coffee and bottled water for your first day or two. We were there to help our daughter fix up her apartment so were not able to spend much time on property during the day so we did not get the opportunity to enjoy the wonderful large furnished patio between the front gate and the front door but will certainly plan on it during our next visit, hopefully soon. If you have not spent much time in Venice you probably can't appreciate properly the fact that this unit includes a dedicated off-street parking spot. You don't have to even use your car to enjoy Venice Beach, shopping and excellent restaurants. We have stayed in several hotels in and near Venice as well as other VRBO properties. For a couple, you cannot beat this place for both location and price! We definitely will stay here each time we come to Venice to visit our daughter if the place is available.

The Zen Cave

What a wonderful little place to just "be". The vibe in the cave is calming and relaxing. The vibe on the boardwalk is eclectic and interesting...a perfect mix of both of them was just what I needed. Thank you Kevin for your hospitality and your knowledge of the area...and for taking the time to share it. It was a beautiful place to be for a week.

Wohnung mit Charme

wir habe in dieser bezaubernden Wohnung 6 Tage nach unserer Rundreise verbracht. Es war der wunderbare Ruhepool gegenüber der quirligen Stadt. Die Wohung ist für 2 Personen optimal mit allem ausgestattet. Unschlagbar und deshalb genial ist Ihre Lage. 2. Reihe 1 min bis zum Strand und dem Leben auf der Promenade und doch sehr privat. Die Verabredung uns 30 min vor Ankunft zu melden damit Kevin uns empfängt war super und hat optimal funktioniert. Wir habe die Ausflugstips gern angenommen. Zum Frühstück um die Ecke in den North Venice Blvd, zum Abendessen in James Beach oder ....wirklich toll im Joes Restaurant in der Abbot Kidney 1023. Die Wohnung ist eine tolle Location und jederzeit wieder in Venice Beach. Lieben Dank an Kevin und Sydney habt eine tolle Zeit
