About this house rental
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...

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.

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.

Excellent location to walk to restaurants, stores and the beach in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood so you can sleep peacefully after enjoying your day. Thanks!

Great place. Great location. Attentive host. Big plus - host recommended a terrific dog sitter so we were able to attend a couple of events while in LA!

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!

Nice little bungalow in a great location. Short walk from Abbott Kinney or the beach. Plenty to do near by.

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.

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.

This house had everything we needed and was very comfortable, tidy and clean! The location is absolutely perfect. The main local shops, restaurants and the beach are within a few blocks. The residential area is very safe and friendly. Marnie was an amazing host and stayed in contact with us to make sure all was well.
The carport was just around the corner was handy and safe to park our rental vehicle. We both would 100% stay at this house again!

We fell in love the second we walked in! My sisters and I booked this place for a fun vacation to be close to the beach but also be in the heart of LA to see all the fun things the city has to offer and this stay was perfect! It was so cozy and tucked away yet still so close to the heart of all the action. The beach being only a 7 min walk was fantastic. Would absolutely recommend!!

What to say when staying in a historic bungalow within walking distance to shops and the beach? We had a great time during the day and enjoyed the night life too.

We very much enjoyed our stay in this little house where we stayed for 2 weeks. The location is perfect to reach Abott Kinney Road and Venice Beach, you have a parking lot for the car, and the two bikes made it very convenient to move around. The communication with our host was prompt and very friendly. We loved it!

The bungalow was just as advertised. Very comfortable for a couple and a short walk to restaurants.

We were very happy with our stay here. The house was bigger inside than I thought it would be from the pictures. The neighbourhood was very nice and safe yet still close to main streets and attractions and we used the bicycles included to make the short ride to the beach/boardwalk and to the canal neighbourhood. Although there was parking included in the carport there was almost always a space available on the street right outside the front door and I felt completely comfortable about my vehicle being parked in this neighbourhood. Cleanliness and comfort were top notch,
My only complaint would be the noise. The walls and even windows seemed paper thin and we could always here all the comings and goings of the neighbours. It was quiet at nighttime though.

We stayed for 3 nights and it was perfect for what we were looking for. Good location and the added bonus of some bikes. Bikes could use some maintenance but overall no issues. The place did get quite warm but we weren’t in there much to mind.
Communication with the host was quick and much appreciated!

Place was in a great area. Really close to Venice Beach. Place was really clean and homey. It's just a little smaller in reality than on the pictures.

Cute Bungalow in Fun Neighborhood
We had a marvelous time walking nearby for drinks and dinners, and to & along Venice Beach. The bungalow fit our needs and we felt at home. Note that the bedroom is underneath the building behind the bungalow, and several times my husband was awakened during the night by overhead sounds (possibly someone working out.) Marnie was easy to work with and our bungalow stay was such fun. 😎

Enjoy location and minimalist setting.
If you want to be in Venice near enuf to beach yet in a neighborhood, you will find this minimalist rental satisfactory. Kitchen and bathroom are updated. Main bedroom is spacious but outside patio not usable without a major clean up. Second queen bed in alcove off small entry room that had dining table and 4 chairs. No doors on either sleeping area. No other furniture. Great to have a nearby carport. Host was very responsive and we enjoyed exploring the neighborhood for great coffee and breads.

Though not uncommon, the pictures make the bungalow appear bigger than it actually is. If more than 2 adults stay here, the futon sleeper will be cramped. The set up will be a bit difficult to comfortably watch tv. Nice location and pretty quiet.

Bicycling through Venice
This was a great. Having safe parking for my vehicle, being a few blocks from the beach and bikes available for use made this the perfect get away. We were able to unload the car and have covered parking just around the corner. We took the bikes to the beach, Santa Monica Pier, and Prominade. NOT having to worry about parking makes this an amazing booking. I look forward to doing this again.

The property was found as advertised. On location had problems with neighbors (left side 507) blocking us in on the parking space each day. Even after talking with them about it they seemed to feel it was still ok to block us in. The walking area from the parking to the unit was filled with tree droppings that stuck to your shoe like dog poo. The second front step to the porch was very loose and a potential safety hazard as well as a weak space on the floor in front of the stove. We left a cup of coffee in the sink during our 1st day. Upon our return the counter was crawling with ants. Overall Enjoyed R Stay!

Cute little place
We stayed for one night at this cute little cottage. You can’t beat the location, a block from Abbott Kinney. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. Check-in process was extremely easy and the bed was super comfortable! We would stay here again.

Great spot when in town visiting family
Marnie’s place was perfect for our short stay in Santa Monica. A charming bungalow on a quiet street within walking distance to shops and restaurants.

Spent 2 nights in this little bungalow in the heart of Venice Beach. Great value due to fantastic location - less than 2 blocks from Abbot Kinney Blvd, 5 min bike ride to beach - you can walk everywhere from here. The bungalow itself is small but comfortable - perfect for 2. It's mostly quiet - but you're in an area with lots of activity so expect some noise at times. The only thing that would make it better would be a bigger outdoor space to hang out in - but you have all of Venice Beach to explore so it's really no big deal. The free use of bikes was amazing!!!
