perfect location and good communication during COVID-19

Very cozy cottage with all the necessary amenities. Would definitely stay here again!

Enrique was very communicative and helpful. Great location and neighborhood!

We loved the property and location, no complaints at all. Especially enjoyed being so close to Abbot Kinney, with tons of shopping, coffee shops and restaurants. Enrique made the process smooth and easy, and responded quickly to questions.

Beautiful and perfect for our family

Loved our stay in this beautifully designed and comfortable private apartment. Enrique was responsive and attentive to any needs. Every detail in this apartment was just perfect and clean. Very convenient location and just a short walk to Abbot Kinney shopping and food. Given the opportunity, we'd love to live there year-round! We will definitely stay here again!

Beautiful and perfect for our family

I had the absolute best stay at this darling cottage. Enrique was nice enough to accommodate my request for early check in which I really appreciated. I felt instantly at home, and couldn't have asked for a more convenient or cooler entry point to Venice. It has everything you'd need from an uber-comfortable bed to a well-organized kitchen—and cute outside patio to sit in good weather. I loved this place so much I would live there if I could.

I loved this place! I have stayed in several other Venice properties so I knew the area and it was perfect for a combo work/play stay. There were some cleanliness and maintenance issues which the property manager is handling. However, these not not distract from the enjoyment of a beautiful space. There is plenty of room; excellent wifi for the video work I was doing; loads of storage so it felt neat and clean throughout; access to grocery store; Abbot Kinney; the beach all very easy.

Nice property in good location. Owner is responsive to service requests. There will be construction noise on week days for another five to six months. There is a large custom home being built next door.

Loved our stay here! There were some recent reviews regarding the construction noise next door. This was not an issue really. We heard a little hammering around 9 a.m., but it was not overly invasive. Great experience overall!

The place is great for a small family or couple and the layout / decor is nice. I wish the owner would have given us a heads up on the construction going on right next to us that started at 8 am, Monday to Friday. I know the construction crew was trying to be conscious of neighbors but still hard to wake up to light hammering that got progressively louder as the morning went on. Other than that, a great spot in Venice!

Very beautiful and classy cottage to stay at. Everything was lovely.

Loved the property, although it was a little dark, the small garden was rarely usable due to very noisy work directly next door where they were building a small block of flats. This also blocked the sun from the garden. The local area was quite run down. Further to walk to beach than anticipated. We would have appreciated being warned about the noise/dust level before committing to this property. The result was we felt very confined indoors, all windows and doors had to remain closed during day to block out noise and dust. We feel that financial compensation would be appropriate as we were not told in advance of the ongoing work next door. It did affect our enjoyment of our stay.

Property is very nice. Very unique and decorated very well. Changing floor levels is disturbing as are the patio and walkway blocks. The ceiling fans are diffinately a plus as are the many windows. Directions for the clothes dryer and washer would be nice as would directions for the coffee maker. Microwave installation is unique but difficult to use. Enrique was very helpful and professional. His flexibility with arrival changes was exceptional.

REALLY CUTE PLACE - loved it.

Will stay again

Enrique was very responsive to my questions and the place is very easy to get to attractions around Los Angeles.

The cottage is charming and cozy. Very private but still close to restaurants and shopping. Beach is a 20 minute walk. Small improvements and repairs would make this place perfect. Bigger problem is a construction site right next door. Drilling and knocking starts at 7am and goes till about 4pm. Parking is also problematic. It is not clear where it is ok to park and where it is not. All in all if you don’t care about sleeping in, this is a nice place to stay.

We enjoyed our time here very much. The home is well equipped and very centrally located. Perfect for two people.

The perfect space away for couples. It has everything you could need for a short break or longer vacation, including toilet rolls, dishwasher and washing machine consumables, which most rentals we have done seem to lack. We stayed here for a little over two weeks in August and made good use of the outdoor seating area and barbecue. It is very secluded and shaded and great to cool down in the evenings. There is no air-conditioning so the screened windows are helpful as they can be left open to allow in any breeze while keeping out the smaller local denizens intent on feasting on you! We had a couple of minor issues during our stay but a quick message to Enrique via the HomeAway app soon had them resolved. A useful tip. The apartment is located in the rear access alleyway behind a larger property, in what is a residential area with no street lighting. If you plan on going out after dark be aware, the short walk from Abbot Kinney Boulevard to the apartment is along dark streets with uneven footpaths so a torch of some sort is essential. We used our phones. All in all, a great place to stay!

We love this place and stayed here two different times. The location can't be beat, the place is cute and clean, and it's safe and private. I only have a few things to note. If you have more than two people you will have to hang your towels over chairs, as there are only two hooks. The directions for the tv are incomplete. There are five remotes, and the directions only mention two. If we didn't have our 13-year-old with us, we never would have figured out how to just watch tv. Lastly, when we arrived both times the batteries were removed from the smoke detector. We replaced them, and the second year we were awoken at 4 am by the alarm going off. The smoke detector needs to be replaced. Other than those issues (which could very easily be addressed) it's a fabulous spot for a beach vacation.

The cottage was just like pictures. I believe it was even larger than we expected. Patio was nice area.

Extremely comfortable and private property in a great Venice location. If you like to sit and talk around a comfortable table with family and friends, this place is for you. There is also a nice patio and everything about this place is comfortable and welcoming. I would definitely return to this listing in the future. Check in and communication with owner very easy.

We spent a week in this beautiful cottage and we were really sad to have to leave! The cottage is beautifully presented with all the amenities you’d expect. The kitchen was well fournished with pots and pans etc and the grill was excellent. We couldn’t get the oven to work and the gas for the grill was low so we just contacted Enrique and he came and took care of it for us immediately. The outdoor space was excellent and it’s not at all overlooked. Very nice and tranquil. Furniture and cleanliness were all excellent. The bathroom was also perfect once we worked out how to turn the shower on (pull the handle away from the wall)! We loved the location, a block away from Abbot Kinney and walking distance to Venice Beach. Overal, nothing other than positive things to say and when we come back to Venice we’d hope to stay here again. Thanks!! R & N

This was an adorable cottage, that was clean & nicely decorated. I would definitely return for another visit.

I truly enjoyed all the stay in this so charming, stylish, private and very well located place. The host was very thoughtful since the prior days of checking in, everything was super well explained, as I didn’t need to ask him about anything. No problems at all. The place is super cute, well decorated, very spacious with a lot of storage available and clean. The abundant natural light was a big plus. Would stay there again 100% sure. Thank you for the delightful experience!

We really enjoyed our stay in Venice in this great cozy property. We were 2 adults and 2 teens - there was plenty of room. The home was a perfect base for exploring the LA area.

Had a great stay at this property in March. The cottage is as it appears in the photos and is very nicely appointed and roomy. Bed is super comfortable. The patio is cozy and everything is very private, quite and secure. Managing the hot water in the shower takes a little to get used to but just follow the directions and you'll get the hang of it. Located just a few blocks from all the hot spots on Abbott Kinney and walkable to a major grocery store on Lincoln. A slightly longer walk gets you to the Venice beach boardwalk or just take the bikes provided. Highly recommend and look forward to staying again.

Fantastic place - great location but also incredibly private, comfortable & charming. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

This was our second week-long stay at the cottage while visiting family in Venice Beach. We've found it's a great jumping off spot for local activities, and equally comfortable just hanging around for some quiet time. The peaceful neighborhood setting has surprisingly easy access to the beach, local shopping, and excellent dining. We always especially enjoy strolling to Zinque on Venice Blvd. for late lunches on the patio. This year, Sunday brunch at Salt Air on Abbot-Kinney was a treat, and a delightful dinner at Centanni Trattoria is worth repeating. A visit to Pono Kitchen's patio for an excellent dinner with a stop at Jeni's Ice Cream on the way back was another memorable evening. For us, all were within an easy 10 - 20 minute walk. Other daily walking expeditions included visits to the lively and fascinating boardwalk at the beach, the famed Venice Canals, and explorations of the various shops along Abbot-Kinney. Closer to home, we enjoyed the serene, enclosed patio at the cottage for morning coffee and afternoon snacks. The cottage is completely self-contained with nice separation from the main residence. It's light, airy, filled with intriguing artwork and reading materials, and well-equipped for anything you might choose do to while there. If you have questions or need assistance, the host is easy to reach and responsive. There's no better recommendation we can give than to say this is the first place we look to book when we visit Venice Beach...
