We spent five nights at this property as the final stage of our trip down the PCH with the intention of seeing a bit of LA. We did look at the previous reviews and did a bit of research around the area and the proximity to the sights etc.
We had problems with the door lock.The host had advised us that it may stick and we spent a good 10 minutes trying to get in. I tried to ring him but the phone number was not in use, so I left a message but did not get any reply.
We did eventually manage to gain entry and found a very clean and tidy house. The fittings and furniture were quite dated but the kitchen had all of the facilities that we needed and was spotless.
The main living room was very basic with three vinyl fold down settee's which I imagine would make up the double beds if you were to bring 10 people to the property.
The back garden/yard was shaded by large trees, the BBQ was large and modern but was filthy and hadn't been used in ages. Likewise, the outdoor furniture was also filthy and unusable - we never used either, in fact we never opened the back door again.
The property is well located for Santa Monica (8 mins) and the other towns on the coast where we spent much of our time. We reached the Griffith Observatory and Hollywood in 30-40 mins.
We also thought that the security deposit was somewhat excessive which was taken at time of payment and was only returned two weeks after we had left.
A bit basic and not one to visit if you like lying in the sun.

Very nice little house, it was perfect for our short trip. Very close to the beach, quiet neighborhood. The host is very responsive and helpful, he even recommended great places to visit. I would definitely want to stay again. Thanks so much Ron for sharing your beautiful home with my family. 😊

Overall a very good experience. Only complaint is that I enjoy cooking and there was not a frying pan large enough to grill steaks or cook 4 eggs.

The house was just what we were looking for on our college campus tours around LA. Centrally located near the pier we enjoyed Venice Beach the Hollywood sign and the local eateries. It was big enough for our family of 5, I communicated with the owner when our flight landed and he let us come a little early when housekeeping was complete.

In 10+ years of using VRBO this was the one nightmare. There was no hot water. We were there for a 3 night stay, and since there was no hot water and they couldn’t get it fixed on a Saturday we had to move to a hotel. I understand that water heaters go out, but the host never refunded the 2 nights that we had agreed on.

Two bedrooms with ac. Very clean and walking distance to whatever you need. Communication with owner was great. He did everything to make it work.

The beds in the bedrooms were really comfortable. My friends who slept on the convertible couches wanted me to share that they were very firm and, due to the seams in the middle, they had to sleep on one side. They would recommend to the owner to purchase three mattress toppers for these. Related, my friends thought the convertible beds would not work with two adults-too small; it easily would work with two kids and would possibly work with two teenagers. The property was very clean and in a safe neighborhood. There were plenty of blankets, pillows, and towels. The directions to the place and to gain entry were clear. I would recommend this property, especially if you have a large party.

We did not receive the checkin information beforehand so we had to reach out to the manager. Texted and called the manager with a phone reply shortly afterwards. He had to remotely open the lock and sent message through VRBO with all the info we needed to begin our stay. No big deal, little inconvenient. The house was clean and adequate for our little family overnight stay. Figuring out how to turn on the fridge meant another communication with the manager. The back yard was quaint but not usable without having to sweep it, as the furniture was dusty and covered with leaves. The neighborhood was quiet. A motorcycle sat awkwardly just next to the driveway causing us to work around it as we unloaded the vehicle. Another minor inconvenience. It was a comfortable stay. We left the place nearly as clean as we found it as we piled most of the bedding and all towels in the kitchen near the washer. Very convenient to the beach. We would stay there again.

Nice area and convenient to many great places but can not recommend due to numerous issues with the house. Falsely advertised for 10, 6 of the sleeping spots were for 3 very hard futons, 2 of which were broken. Floors were filthy, very uncomfortable beds and bedding very dusty, bathroom moldy. Temp sender on fridge was broken causing our groceries to freeze and become inedible. Owner was not responsive other than to ask us to fix fridge ourselves, buttons were broken so this didn’t work. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!

Convenient location and very quiet, comfortable accommodation. The back yard could have used some preparation for guests, but otherwise, we were pleased.

We booked this home for a January weekend get away from Colorado to warmer weather in Santa Monica to visit friends living in Sawtelle. The host, Ron, was super helpful, flexible, and responsive. The home was perfect for our needs with the two bedroom, one bath layout. The beds are very comfortable and the common areas are great for hanging out and catching up with friends. This property is well situated for taking advantage of beach, shopping and fantastic restaurants nearby. We highly recommend and will look to book future vacations here.

10 of us decided to stay here for a quick weekend trip Santa Monica/LA. There were plenty of pillows, blankets, and towels to accommodate us. Neighborhood was nice, quiet, and close to the beach. If you’re staying here with 10 people I’d highly recommend bringing an air mattress or two, just because the futons aren’t the biggest. Having one bathroom was tough, but it was what we signed up for, and we made it work!

We found the property to meet our needs overall. It was very pet friendly. As pet owners we tend to eat in most nights. We found the kitchen supplies somewhat lacking. A greater verity of glassware would have been nice and a larger selection of cookware. These are not show stoppers. The location is good and stores were close by. It was a nice neighborhood to walk our dog. Overall we were satisfied with our stay. Ron was attentive to our needs.

The location is perfect and the home is clean and welcoming! The owner- Ron- communicated in a quick manner and answered every question we had. He even let us check in early and waived the fee since we had no rental car and all of our luggage in tow-i definitely recommend Ron and this awesome vacation spot to stay! ❤️😄

House needs a lot of love
Communication with the owner is terrible. The shower cartridge broke while my 8 year old daughter was taking a shower. The shower was old and rusted. The owner blames us for it and claims that excessive strenght was used. Which is not true. Now, he would not return the security deposit.
Not a good experience. We use Homeaway a lot and this is the first time it happened that something broke and the owner is not responding.

Very poor service
Check in information needs to be updated also they did not provide the right door PIN and emails and messages weren't being responded in a timely manner. The house was very dirty and the furniture was duty and old! It was not ready to be used at all. The price that we paid was not worth it

Poor communication and not as represented
Very poor communication with the owner. He responded slowly at first and then not at all. Mold is in the bathroom down the walls and follows the ceiling line — not just in the shower but on the actual bathroom walls. I could not stay at the property due to the mold and that is when all communication with the owner stopped completely. He said the cleaning people would come out but you cannot clean mold like that with cleaning products. The location was good and the access was easy but the mold could not be overlooked and then the lack of communication accounted for my poor review.

Good price and location with some problems
We really enjoyed our weekend stay but ran into a couple of really fixable problems. The biggest issue was lack of communication - the code for the door changed after our first night there and when we came back to the house at the end of the day, we were locked out. I called Ron several times and left messages and he never got back to me. We were able to reach inside the dog door to unlock it but him never responding bothered us a lot - what would we have done if we couldn’t have gotten in?
There weren’t any simple amenities - there was less than a full roll of toilet paper. The couches need a major upgrade and the dishwasher was very, very loud.
It’s a really great location and Ron was very nice and helpful when we spoke to him before the rental time but he didn’t respond to problems while we were there.

Great Stay Overall
Beds were great! Overall comfy quiet neighborhood stay. Great location for our business trip.
Living room furniture needs some help. Glass table was scary as it looked like it would crumble if you put a plate of food on it. Shower handle broke but Ron was very quick about getting back to us with a solution. Would definitely stay here in the future.

nice house close to beach
Ron’s house is well situated and offers great access to many interesting places, like Santa Monica Beach, Museum
of Tolerance, Fox movies, ..
There is also easy food shopping close by.
Unfortunately the house was not
very clean when we got there, no kitchen towels, not enough towels in the bathroom, ...
Ron tends to answer very late. We would have loved to get answers sooner in orderto be able to do a proper planning.
All in all, it was ok though.

Great place to stay!
This property was on the perfect street! It was so close to everything and super quiet. The house was quaint and comfortable. Our family felt at ease and very safe hanging out and sleeping. We had a nice rainy day where we were able to stay inside and watch movies on the Roku. As stated it was super close to the beach and to Universal Studios.

Great Place to Stay...but minor repairs needed
This was a good house in a good location for the three of us. It was neat and clean with a very updated kitchen. Ron was helpful on the phone solving issues with the front door lock combination and Sling/Roku TV reception. We enjoyed our stay, but attention to the following minor repairs would have increased our rating to 5 Stars.... several of the window blinds need to be replaced... posts on the front porch are not attached to the floor(could be dangerous)... the garbage disposal runs, but has no teeth, so it does nothing... the dimmable lights in the living room flicker, probably indicating a poor electrical connection... the bathroom door handle fell off. If these minor things are fixed, we will definitely stay here on our next visit to LA.

Great location!!
The house was great for our first visit to LA. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was nice to have to cook in on the nights we did not want to eat out. The location of the house was great for all the things we had planned to do. Would stay here again if we come back to LA.
