Our backyard Airstream is located in a garden oasis on half of a gigantic 9000 foot lot in Mar Vista, convenient to the 405 and 10 freeways as well as the beaches and sites of Venice and Santa Monica. We are fifteen minutes to LAX airport ($12 lyft), Beverly Hills, and the best surfing and hiking on the west side. Our neighborhood is a large King Palm-lined oval with easy parking and tons of gourmet coffee shops and restaurants within walking distance. If you want the proximity to the beaches without the noise, crowds, and traffic, this is a great solution.

“The towels and sheets were of high is absolutely NO problem, even on the street cleaning backyard is dreamy, equipped for kids and adults alike... This location has excellent access to the airport with the option of using city streets....The location was perfect as it was near LAX, the highway, grocery stores, restaurants, shopping and only a short drive to the beaches"
