We stayed here for 3 nights. The house was beautiful across from a golf course, well planned out, and well equipped for our stay for 6 people. The tv was so relaxing and the size was wonderful! The ac system worked well on a hot day. The fire pit outside was a night touch with the grill. The house is truly close to everything. Dylan went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. When I had a questions he quickly answered. We so loved his home and one day may be back. Carolyn Tullgren and family

This is one of my all time favorite rentals! And we stay in a house whenever we travel. My husband and I stayed here for a few nights with our 4, 6 and 8 year old kids and it was perfect. It had everything we needed in the kitchen, was super clean, and it really is a very cool home. There are a couple of little loft areas that my kids loved using as hideouts, and the backyard area is absolutely delightful. It's close to beaches and restaurants, but in a very quiet neighborhood. Host was super responsive and everything was very smooth. My kids are already begging for another trip to CA so we can go back to 'the very cool house'.

Nice place, really nice host. Location was central and felt safe and secure. Comfortable beds!

We would stay again!

Such a beautiful, clean and comfortable property. Perfect for our family of 5 and so close to beaches and LA tourist sites. The owner was very communicative. Thank you, Dylan, for such a lovely experience.

We had a great time at Dylan’s place. It’s open and roomy and has very unique sleeping lofts. Dylan has an amazing collection of books as well. And, Santa Monica is a great central location to explore LA.

The property is light-filled with an open-plan and inviting common and outdoor space. The bedroom setup works well for a family with children, but not so much for one with adult children or friends. We loved the fire pit!

We loved Dylan's house in Santa Monica. A great neighborhood on a very quiet street. A golf course across the street. Dylan was a great host, answering all of our questions. We will most certainly try to stay here again.

The kids loved the loft-style beds where they could tuck themselves away. The main bedroom is nestled above the kitchen and lounge. Access to Santa Monica is great, 700 metres to grocery shops. Safe and quiet neighbourhood. Off street parking was a big bonus for us. We didn’t require any assistance from Dylan during our stay but we knew he was available at any time. Would definitely stay again!

The house is truly beautiful, and sits in a quiet but convenient neighborhood, with abundant natural light, sleek interior lines, modern amenities, a lovely front cactus garden, and a large and secluded rear yard. Santa Monica and Venice attractions are only minutes away, and central Los Angeles attractions not too much farther. Plus, Dylan was accommodating and immediately responsive to questions. With any luck, I'll be back.

We rented the home for a family event celebration weekend in Santa Monica and found the location to be just great. We walked to Ocean Park in the morning to grab breakfast, which was really nice. Really enjoyed being able to "hang out" in the den and kitchen, rather than being "trapped" in a hotel room and the 3 bedrooms worked well for the 5 of us.

The house was beautiful. Very large back yard. Many sleeping places, several in lofts up ladders, maybe not accessible to all, three ground level bedrooms. Washer and Dryer. Nice spot for a short stay in LA.

House was exactly as described and Dylan was very easy to communicate with. Great location to visit LA. Highly recommended!

Great property in a great location! Communication with Dylan was excellent and the check in/out process was perfect. Property is in a great location close to Santa Monica and Venice Beach. Overall condition of the property was great. On the plus side was the central A/C and the lofts in the downstairs bedrooms. The stove top is getting a little on the old side and the outside furniture could be newer. These are only minor observations on a property we would gladly stay at again on our next vacation to LA/Santa Monica.

The house location is great. It is, as advertised, located in a quiet neighborhood. But it is so much more. It is walking distance to the park, neighborhood pool, public executive golf course across the street (open to all), tennis courts, lots of food options, and 20 minutes walk to the beach. On the way, stop by Jeni's ice cream and a close to 5-tar Indonesian restaurant, Wallflower. The property has it's own parking space and street parking is abundant. First time access was so convenient. The house is very welcoming, warm, and functional. Beautiful backyard that exudes Southern California. Focus on sustainable and resilient landscaping. Our 18 and 17 year old girls started in separate bedrooms and then ventured from one loft to the other... plenty of space for a family of four. It can certainly accommodate more. And spacious for entertaining guests. If driving, it was central to many locations in LA, Little Tokyo, the Grove, and the Getty Museum. All short drives to and from the house. We recommend this rental, highly, and would certainly venture back. Thank you, Dylan, for being the perfect, short term landlord.

Great property with everything you need. Great host - very responsive.

Great property for a family with older children. Nice size kitchen, dining area and opening to the nice backyard. Convenient street and driveway parking too.

Dylan’s home was perfect for our visit with our sons. Nice enclosed backyard, which was great for our little Havanese pup. Everything you need here!

Owner excellent communicator Great location … but Some noise issues with small planes from local training airport flying overhead throughout the day

For a visit to Los Angeles this is a most excellent and safe location

I’d highly recommend Dylan’s home. Perfect for our two families. The kids loved the loft beds! Super comfortable, well-stocked kitchen, and the back yard was our favorite part. Perfect evenings hanging out by the fire pit. I’d highly recommend Dylan’s home!

We loved everything about Dylan’s house. The fire pit in the back yard was really fun and the neighborhood was great! Easy check in process and great back yard.

As in other reviews, Dylan was quick to return all communications & was always helpful. His home is lovely (depicted accurately in the photos), & has space, space, space! It is extremely well-stocked (kitchen, bathrooms, linens). The fenced-in yard was excellent for relaxing, for having lunch with our cousins, & for our small dog. The neighborhood is lovely & serene - the golf course across the street lends to this. Important to me: Gelson's grocery store was a mile away & easily accessed. And what my husband enjoyed: the upstairs library for late evenings. Dylan has an amazing book collection, & we were privy to some very interesting info from his posters & artwork. Since we have friends & family in the area, we hope to return to Dylan's home.

Great location and everything you need for a stay in SM. Very convenient and quiet neighborhood.

This property was perfect for a family Holiday. We brought our two dogs and the backyard was not only beautiful, but fenced in, so we were able to let them loose a bit. Only 5 of us stayed at the property but it was our gathering location and accommodated 11 for dinner very comfortably. We walked to both Venice beach and Santa Monica beach almost daily, great location. Its about a 35 minute walk. We would definitely choose this property to stay again if the opportunity arrises.

We had a great time, wonderful central location and neighborhood. There was more than enough space and the kitchen was easy to work in. Lovely yard and fire pit

Lovely home. Nice neighborhood.

Dylan was a fantastic host who made sure we not only had a wonderful stay, but was very communicative throughout, and emphasized the integrity of the space, which makes sense when you see how lovely and centrally located the neighborhood is. Every attention to detail was thoughtfully paid, and I would absolutely come back!

Dylan, who lives on the premises, in a separate attached unit with a private entrance, was very responsive on the few occasions we reached out with a question or observation. His home is spacious, airy, sunny, and has a large and lovely backyard. The refrigerator/freezer and pantry space is ample, and mostly had items we were expecting. (We bought our own coffee and paper napkins and extra rolls of paper towels.) The large screen TV in the living area and its broad range of streaming options were a nice touch and easy to use.The upstairs master bedroom is a loft, with an overlook to the living area. Each of the two downstairs bedrooms have another bed available by climbing up a ladder to a sleeping loft. There is central air that quickly cools down the place if it gets hot, and there are separate cooling units in each of the downstairs bedrooms. The bottom line: lots of comfortable places to sleep, easily accommodating up to 7 guests. And plenty of sheets and towels for your stay. However, if you’re a light sleeper, early-night sleeper, or late-morning sleeper, the air traffic from the Santa Monica airport could be a downer, at least without earplugs. The street follows the flight path of planes taking off between the airport’s operating hours of 7 a.m. and 11 p.m. (8 a.m. on weekends).Additionally, if your car doesn’t have a high enough clearance, like ours (a sedan), your car will likely scrape the edge of the driveway every time you enter and exit. You’d be better off using street parking, as available.

We had a wonderful experience on Dewey Ave. Dylan’s home is very well appointed and a great design and layout. The double sliding doors in the dining area really bring the outside in and the outdoor space is just simply lovely. Dylan was amazing! My husband left his charger and Dylan graciously overnighted it to our next stop on our trip. Highly recommend Dewey Ave.!

We needed a comfortable base to drop off our college student at LMU. We found it! Terrific neighborhood with plenty of walks to be had. Very peaceful, yet close by the activities . Host is a charm, to boot.
