Loved our stay - the location, ease, communication with owner. We lived in LA for 18 years, brought our 4 year old back for the first time since leaving. Had a blast. Can't beat the location to the pier and access to the 10 freeway. Ocean views were wonderful. Know the kitchette doesn't have a stove/oven, but the fridge, toaster oven, coffee maker and tea kettle were plenty. To have free parking that close to the beach was unheard of. As other review state, the garage is TINY. We thankfully read that ahead and turned down a free rental care upgrade, making sure we got a compact/economy size. Thank goodness we did. Don't know how we would've fit an SUV though others said they squeezed in. we did see a Tesla park in a neighboring garage for size reference. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Would definitely stay again!

Very comfy studio. Clean and loved that we had a garage! Just big enough for a small SUV. Loved that we were steps from the Santa Monica Beach boardwalk and pier!

We love this studio as it has an ocean view and was very clean and the beds were so comfortable! Steps from the pier and beach! We ate at restaurants around us everyday ad they were so friendly and fun. I love the 2 beds, table, couch areas s it feels like a real living space. The host gave easy, precise directions and communication was easy and quick. Thanks for a perfect stay.

The property was perfect & just what we wanted, so close to the beach, enjoyed our coffee or wine with a view! ❤️

We loved our stay here. My husband and I felt right at home. We lived the bright openness of the place. Beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean. We loved the short walk to the beach and pier. We would definitely stay here again.

Great little place close to the beach, just what we needed.

We had an amazing time while staying at this property, the location was fantastic so close to everything we needed, the open plan layout was welcoming and the view was great! Communication from the property manager was easy, they waste super accomodating.

Was in town for an event and this was a great spot. Comfortable, view of the beach, can walk to the pier, great communication with the owner. Would definitely recommend!

Host was amazing and did a great job of accommodating changes in our stay. Would highly recommend

My family and I really loved this property. It was walking distance to the beach, restaurants, and the boardwalk. It also had a very nice view. We would definitely stay here again.

This property is close to but is not on the beach. The angles of the pictures you see in the advertisement tell an inaccurate story of what you will get (furniture is terribly worn.. )but the apartment is clean. The outdoor sitting area was not private nor without cigarette smoke from others within close proximity. However, the restaurants in the area are good but you will not want to walk about due to the influx of vagrants walking up and down the alley which is the shared entrance to the apartment. The garage is extremely tight for a standard SUV but we managed. We had very little interaction with the host (which only happened upon our evening arrival..speaking with her on our cell several times for clarity sake..) às we were directed to read the instructions provided about the unit..(even though we had read and reread). Overall, the unit is an over priced somewhat nice apartment with lots of construction happening on nearly every side throughout the day. The shower was clean and well stocked with shampoo but the shower door needs to be fixed so to keep it shut. The kitchen was very clean and had an ample supply of cooking gadgets, towels, dishes, and cups. We had looked forward to Our weekend visit to Santa Monica and it was still scenic and enjoyable. Thank you for a clean apartment.

We had a wonderful time. Loved the place. The beds are so comfortable. The location is incredible and very convenient because of parking advantage. It’s so close to the pier we walked it a couple of times. Definitely coming back.

Cute studio right next to the pier. Beds are super comfortable and couch is super comfy. We could hear the waves crashing when it quieted down at night. Minutes walk to the sand and pier. Yummy food at Bubba Gumps. Tight squeeze fitting our Ford Edge in the garage. We kept it parked the whole trip as everything we needed was within walking distance. We stocked up on groceries before we got there. Super wonderful vacation time for whole family. We plan on staying again next year.

Great property, great location.

Wry nice property. Easy and short walk to the beach and pier. Property manager was easy to reach (though we had no issues that needed to be addressed). Would stay here again.

It was romantic, warm and very inviting also in the middle of all the fun. The beach is very close (one minute walk) also a great view of the beach from in the property. Very quiet, respectable neighbors and the garage parking was a big plus very nice layout, we loved it!!

Perfect place for a beach weekend!

Fantabulous! Vacation Real Estate is about Location to the Nth degree. This place hits it out of the park! Beach & ocean view, 5-min walk to Santa Monica Pier, less than 100 yards from the sand. You are in the heart to the quintessential SoCalifornia life. The flat is well appointed, spacious, two queen beds and large sofas. Fireplace (not that we needed that in August), hardwood floors. Admittedly the bathroom/ sink arrangement is a bit unconventional - but you can get by. You get a dedicated 1-car garage (no worries about finding parking - big plus), and a small outdoor patio space (sorry no view on this side). Its a "walk-up" so be prepared (travel with small bags). The narrowish external stairs were reminiscent of an old-world village. Complete with locking Iron gate. Very quaint. We were here for 3 days, and that was enough for our kids to decide they will plan to move here after college. SoCal can do that to you. This is the perfect little gem of a flat for that "kick-back and relax" beach vacation. Shops & restaurants in spades within walking distance - but the BEACH - all the way to the spectacular sunsets - you really need nothing else . . . (a bit of trivia for those old enough to remember - this is the "Baywatch" beach. You'll recognize the lifeguard shacks immediately, sans David Hasselhoff & Pam Anderson - sorry)

Much like other reviews have written, The property is a good location for its proximity to the beach, pier and downtown Santa Monica dining and shopping. Read about the beach and other LA beaches if you're not familiar with the experience. The studio was fairly clean, but could use a derailed deep cleaning. The fridge and freezer had leftover items in them, which want a big deal to throw away. We did have an issue with the fridge, and the propert manager addressed it immediately, and made sure we were all set. The studio could use some small updates, like hooks for towels and such, but it definitely served its purpose. At no fault to the studio or property managers, be advised that the location is loud, especially on Friday and Saturday nights. You'll hear every yelling voice and vehicle that comes near; and on Fri & Sat, you'll hear them all night.

Over all a great location I felt safe the place was very clean easy check in 8/10

This was our first time in Santa Monica and it was great! This property is in the best location, it couldn't have been better. It's within walking distance of literally everything. If you're looking for peace and quiet this is not the place for you. If you want to be a part of the energy of SM, stay here. I would definitely stay there again.

The vacation that never happened I reserved the room more than a week before arrival and was charged immediately. When it got close to time for me to be there I was told I had no reservations. I had to make plans elsewhere. The property owners never even bother to call. Now I am having to fight the charges with my credit card company. This manner doing business is really pathetic

We had a great time! Clean place in a great location.

Beautiful&clean condo with best location Thanks

The property manager was easy to deal with but the property wasn’t very clean. There was no soap or sponges for the dishes. Empty food boxes and coffee cans were still there. Old beverages in the mini fridge and the kitchen is pretty small I don’t think it’s included in the pictures(double check on that).

I did not have a pleasant stay here. The neighborhood is located right next to the Santa Monica pier and so was very loud and noisy especially on Saturday night. The apartment itself was not clean and the basic kitchen necessities where poorly supplied. The bedding actually smelled. Garage is very small and with the tight street and turning radius extremely difficult to pull in to. TV channels impossible to locate and navigate. I do not recommend this property.

Honestly, this studio was better than I expected. It was just me, but could have comfortably been a great place for 2-3 people. Plus, the location couldn’t be better. I was expecting to be disappointed since the pics aren’t great, but I absolutely loved this place. It probably would benefit from a deep clean (window sills and such) but it was by no means dirty. I could tell It had just been cleaned and restocked when I checked in. It also has a little patio that is not pictured, but super cute. I would absolutely stay here again and recommend!
