This is a fabulous home in a wonderful neighborhood! So bright and inviting and the back deck/yard area is absolutely delightful. Our family was together for USC graduation - the location is great (only took about 20 mins to get to USC, which in LA traffic terms is great!). Carina was a wonderful and communicative host and I highly recommend her and her home!

We had a wonderful, easy stay! The bedrooms are comfortable, the kitchen well-equipped, and the backyard is beautiful with lots of great seating. The neighborhood is convenient to Santa Monica, LAX, and the rest of west side. It’s a quiet area. The owner was quick to respond to questions. We hope to stay there again!

House was lovely…well equipped and convenient to everything….good communication with the host just made for a great vacation..

What a wonderful property! The house is updated and has great decor. The kitchen is great if you want to cook. The yard is fantastic- more space than you’d expect and so inviting. Bathrooms are modern and very clean. Simply lovely.

This beautiful Zen Oasis lived up to its billing! Gorgeous home, well maintained, and Carina was a gracious host. We had a fantastic stay.

We had a great time! We appreciated the kitchen fully stocked with all the appliances as we cooked every meal. We really enjoyed our stay - Thank you!

I chose this property for my family who were in from Michigan for my daughter's wedding because it was close to my own home in Mar Vista, but what a gem it is! The only reason I gave it a 4 for "accuracy of online listing" is because the beauty and accessibility of the grounds are not portrayed accurately - in fact, they are underplayed. It really is what it is called, a zen oasis. The outdoors and the indoors blend into an exquisite and quiet L.A. experience and perfect for a family who wants to just BE together. The hostess has great taste all around and very thoughtful!

Carina’s home was just perfect for our 5days in LA. Great location, with easy access to all the must see spots. House was so clean and the check in check out process seamless. At the end of a long day exploring LA, the back yard was an oasis. If we’re ever back in LA, we will hope to stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay in a wonderful home

My family had a lovely time reconnecting with each other in this special place...the outdoor living spaces were just perfect. A small oasis in the middle of the city. Carina was extremely helpful and supportive and communicative. A win all around.

This is a beautiful, immaculately clean property. Carina is a wonderful host who happened to be there when we checked in (early at our request) and showed us all the amazing features of the property (fire pit, accordion doors, and hidden TV to name a few). We had a little hiccup on getting the key code on the morning of check in (because I didn't want to leave home without the code in hand), but that was because Carina was at the property making it perfect for our arrival and didn't hear her phone. Carina's beautiful home was absolutely perfect for celebrating the two graduations we had: one at UCLA and one at USC. We had five adults staying with two more coming by for dinner and nobody felt cramped. The home is spacious and luxurious. The backyard is lush and completely private with numerous places to lounge and hang out. Staying here made our momentous occasion even more special and memorable. I highly recommend this property. And if you're hesitating because of the price, don't. It's way cheaper than three nice hotel rooms and worth every penny. And if you're also celebrating a family milestone and are unfamiliar with driving around LA, I also highly recommend Mont Blac Executive Car Service.

Cannot say enough good things about this property. It's well situated in Mar Vista, near Santa Monica College. Quiet neighborhood. The back of the property with the meditation and outdoor spaces made it easy to relax at the end of the day, and sit outside for morning coffee. There's everything you need to enjoy your time in CA and the owner was amazingly responsive and helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to return!

Carina is a fantastic host! The place was everything I needed. Quiet, clean, artistically furnished and with a really wonderful backyard oasis. The street parking is not a problem and their is a drive if needed too. No complaints. Thanks Carina!

Carina's home is peaceful oasis in a quiet neighborhood. The outdoor space is beautiful and relaxing with multiple seating areas including a firepit which we enjoyed when the sun went down. The indoor space was also relaxing and comfortable with quality furnishings and amenities that show Carina's attention to detail as well as her love for her home. We hope to stay here again when we're in the area.

Glad we opted for this three-bedroom/two full bath home located in Mar Vista for our family of four. Having rented many homes around SoCal for retreats and family reunions, I was a bit leery, at first, because rental is new with VRBO and had no reviews yet. Owner was prompt to answer all questions and flexible with our request for early check-in. Each room offered a comfortable queen bed and linens still had lingering smell of fresh laundry. The kitchen had a toaster, electric kettle, regular coffee maker, plates, utensils, and cookware. It had excellent cooling and heating system. All amenities listed were as described and we couldn't be happier. A sure consideration the next time around. Thanks, Carina! 😊😀
