We enjoyed our stay. The host expressed a true desire that our stay was a good one. The house was as advertised and the views of and access to the beach were great. We rented bikes from a kiosk within easy walking distance and rode easily from Manhattan Beach to Santa Monica. Only deterrent was at check-in we lost time needlessly learning how to arm the security system which we didn’t need to use. Also, while the listing was clear about no guests, we would have really enjoyed having a few family members from the area able to come over for a dinner or a game night. This was expressly forbidden, without a large up-charge being levied. In the end, though, we had a good time and enjoyed the house.

This house was great for a family vacation. It was a short walk from the front door to the beach, in a fun neighborhood. The art in this house is amazing. Every room has something impressive to look at. There is an elevator in the house to move luggage upstairs that was very useful. The housekeeper was very sweet and arrived exactly as scheduled. The house is very close to LAX. I wasn’t bothered by the noise because I expected it, but I can see that if you didn’t know or if you were traveling with someone sensitive to sudden noises, it could be a problem. The garage is short enough that one of our cars (a large SUV) could not fit in it. There was plenty of street parking. We would definitely stay here again.

This house was by far the best value in the area. While it may not be as modern and luxurious as other properties, those options can cost more than 3x the price! The house is spacious, has beautiful views, ample outdoor space, and is perfect for hanging out in a group or private time. We truly appreciated our host!

When another VRBO property cancelled last minute, Ms Tovah helped accommodate me and my family expeditiously and with outstanding customer service. The property was great and the owner and cleaning service went above expectations to accommodate! Would definitely recommend.

Every aspect of this rental was easy. From communication about the rental, accessing the property, the location close to the beach, LAX, great restaurants, grocery stores, and shopping; it was all easy. Loved the ocean/sunset views and the sprawling layout of the house. Mari, the housekeeper, was gracious and welcoming. A few things to keep in mind: the driveway is steep so use the garage for unloading luggage and those with balance issues,; you can definitely hear planes from LAX from the primary bedroom until 11:00 pm and starting back up by 7:00 am (earplugs were provided but we did without). I did enjoy having the doors open to hear the waves, and the beach is a 5 minute walk. Do not expect this to be a pristine home with all new, 100% perfect furnishings. I might not have noticed the wear and tear quite so much had I not been filling out a form for the owners on check-in about the condition of furniture, etc. sheets, towels and bedding were comfortable, clean, and new. Some closets, dressers, and cupboards are bungee’d off to keep folks out of the owner’s items. No worries about these items, but it is helpful to know to help manage peoples’ expectations. We had a great time and would rent this home again!

Very nice house, carpet needs to be cleaned and BBQ is very rusty.

Beautiful eclectic home, love the area. Short walk to the beach. Loved hearing the waves of the ocean. Short drive from the airport. Close to grocery store and other essentials. Our stay was great. Tovah was super nice and laid out all the instructions needed to navigate the house. Mary the housekeeper was awesome and was very helpful before leaving. We would most definitely stay here again.

This lovely house is 1-1/2 blocks from the beach in Playa del Rey. It is a true find for those who want to spend time close to the ocean in Los Angeles, where there are not many options for that. Huge island in the kitchen for cooking and family or group gathering, and expansive living room--all with views of the ocean.
