Wonderful place to stay. Felt like home. Super clean, great location, great hosts.

So much to do in Venice. You have the beach and the famous boardwalk. But the best thing for us was the privacy you get with the yard after along day out it was great to come back and relax in the yard while we bbq...

We really enjoyed our stay! Kevin & Sydney are very easy to work with. The place is perfectly located for all things LA & the beach is steps away. We would stay there again! Thank you! John & Karen

My husband and I met our two adult children in Venice Beach for a 5-day holiday and had the good fortune to find Sydney's and Kevin's place. It's just a fantastic, beautifully appointed and cared-for find. Kevin met us to show us around and acquaint us with the neighborhood. The apartment was perfect for us! It's immaculate (coming from an OCD cleaner!), tastefully furnished, welcoming, and comfortable. Lovely touches abound-- such as bottled water in the fridge, chocolates on the coffee table, bath products that make you leave the ones you brought unpacked. The kitchen is stocked with basics so you can easily make a meal at home, if you can resist all the good restaurants nearby. The bed and bath linens are luxurious and plentiful. We enjoyed all the gathering spaces-- the living room with TV and couches, and the dining room, as well as the sweet and private deck and fenced garden. Visiting local relatives had plenty of room to socialize with us, and were impressed by our lovely getaway space! The Garden Oasis is a very short stroll from the beach and beach walk, the Venice Canals, bike rentals, a skate park, and Muscle Beach. Highly recommended!

This wasn't just a place to stay, it was a fantastic dream world of beauty, nature, and good karma! Magical! It should be part of a mystical tour. Definitely check it out! Our only regrets are that we wish we could have stayed longer.

A cozy and clean condo.

This rental house on the beach is very well cared for. My family and I enjoyed the house and had no problems. Kevin was very helpful and informative on our arrival. We really enjoyed the privacy on the front patio. We would eat dinner or lunch there almost every night. We loved having the beach so close. The secure parking is great with room for my truck. Would recommend this house to all friends and family members.

The pictures don't do justice, the location, garden and ambience of this home is fabulous. It's so well located but quite and safe and private. Sydney and Kevin are perfect hosts welcoming informed and know how much information to give. They set things up to be welcome with introducing the area and how to in the home.... they are nice people

Can I give it more than 5 Stars?? 10 Stars!! This house was the PERFECT oasis for my family to escape to! It had EVERYTHING we needed- a very PRIVATE grassy yard , a lovely upper deck, a spacious living room area, a private parking space, AND it was literally the second property from the Venice Boardwalk & beach!! Kevin thought of EVERYTHING and then added a little more to make our stay the best vacation we have ever had! The items he provided (shampoo/conditioner/body wash/ towel/sheets/ blankets/ coffee maker/toaster) were TOP of the LINE and we felt like we were living in LUXURY! The interior of the house is sweet - the wall art is unusual and nicer than I would have expected in a vacation rental, the furniture was beautiful and expensive looking but still comfortable. There was plenty of space inside for my whole family (myself, two full grown girls and granddaughter) to sleep in our own space and feel relaxed. My 17 year old used the pullout sofa in the dining room with an air mattress on top for added comfort and loved it. We all lounged on the sofa every evening and there was room for ALL of us to lie down! We cooked some & the kitchen had everything we needed for the fairly simple meals we were up to after long days on the beach. The outside of this space is exactly what I needed to come 'home' to after spending time in Venice & the surrounding areas. I am a small town girl. Having my kids and grand-baby there in what felt like a big city with SO MANY PEOPLE felt a little overwhelming at times. The yard of this garden oasis is completely fenced & walled in with perfectly placed trees and bushes-with a patio table and grill. Once inside the gate, we felt SECLUDED, invisible to passersby & SAFE! That's pretty important when traveling with children! The upstairs patio was perfect as a SECOND outdoor seating area to see the ocean & relax with a cup of coffee each morning & wine each evening. The name of this property truly says it all...it actually is a garden oasis!! Venice was a blast! Seeing all the unique individuals living true to who they are was really lovely! The beach was clean & not too crowded. We even found a Harbor beach where there were no waves. We brought our bikes from home. It was the highlight of our trip. I recommend bringing bikes or renting them for your whole stay. Hulu seemed an interesting option for bike rental. I would look up how it works if you need to rent bikes. It seems more affordable than any other option I saw.

Great secluded yard and cute villa. Gated off street parking is very convenient. Very close to beach

This rental was absolutely perfect. These owners have it ALL figured out. The setting is fabulous, and the flat is laid out perfectly with everything you need to relax and enjoy your time in Venice. I have a VRBO myself, and I was taking notes as to ways in which I can improve my own VRBO based on the amazing set up Kevin and Sydney have with this awesome rental. I can't recommend it more highly, and will definitely be back. Thank you guys so much!

We stayed two nights at Kevin's and Sydney's. We are a family of six, and really enjoyed our stay there. Clean and cozy apartment, very close to the beach. Everything we needed in the kitchen to cook, and in the rest of the apartment to feel welcome. Recommending it warmly and would stay there another time.
