We had a great stay. It was clean and the garage is a bonus! The beach was farther than listed. It is not steps, more like a few miles.

Nice apartment, great location, will book again.

This place is (as advertised) steps from the beach and comes with a dedicated parking space, which makes it fantastic for a beach stay. It's also walking distance to Abbot Kinney and all sorts of fun along the Venice Beach boardwalk. The owner was responsive when I reached out for check in and once when the wireless went out. There were a ton of TV options with the Roku, and the stay was pretty quiet (no big parties keeping us up) over the May weekend we visited. Getting in and out of the apartment was smooth and easy. The new kitchen appliances were great. The apartment surfaces and the linens were clean and fresh. However, the place, despite looking good, has been cheaply upgraded (which is fine - it's a rental), and that means the floor in the kitchen is broken and cracking (no hazard to us; just uneven flooring settling), and several drawers were broken. The floors had a layer of sand all over them (which probably would be aided by a mat in the entryway, even inside), and the dishes (in the cabinets) were dirty. We were surprised that there was only one towel per person for our 4-night stay, 1 dish towel and 1 hand towel - and no pot holders. There was nothing for the beach -- no chairs, no blankets, no beach towels. (The ad doesn't say it provides any of these things, and we brought our own - but if we were traveling by plane, these would be added expenses for sure.) And there were no cleaning supplies (spray cleaner, for example).

Great place! Very close to the ocean and has everything you need.

Left a day early because unit wasn't clean. (There was still sand on floor and in bed when I arrived, plus sofa stains!) Balcony is not usable/rotting wood. VERY bare bones... not enough linens or a bath mat for my 5 night stay. :( Furniture cheap and chipped floors. Disappointing. Steps from the beach & parking included, which were definite bright spots.

Perfect spot for a quick getaway. Just steps from the beach, restaurants and shopping.

Very nice location. Add Bath Mat

My college roomate and I did a short trip together and was super impressed with the check in process - super easy. The place was clean and bed comfortable. The best part is the location! Literally the best location for heading to spend days on the beach, or walking to the nearby pier for sunsets, or the nearby pier bike rentals, or any restaraunt you'd like! All walking distance. We loved not needing a car and really short Lyft ride from the airport. Excellent place for 2 people to enjoy Venice Beach (and only a 17 minute bike ride from Santa Monical Pier which is cool too!)

Just a few steps from the beach and Venice boardwalk! We loved our stay and definitely will come back. Area is young and fun and lots of restaurants and shops within a few steps. Buses are close too. Just missing a few items in the kitchen.

We could hear the waves crashing on the beach from our windows! A great space if your primary goal is to be as close to the beach as possible without the high cost of beachfront accommodations. The space was clean but a little more worn than the pictures might indicate. There was great eating and walking in the neighborhood as well!

Great location -- you can literally see the beach looking out the window. The neighborhood feels very safe. The apartment is within walking distance of the grunge/fun of Venice but somehow has a different vibe. I would say the apartment is relatively quiet given the location. For being "newly remodeled" the place is a bit cheap. The couch is saggy and uncomfortable, and the floor is chipped. I tried to hang a bag on a hook in the wall and it fell down with crumbling drywall. I had a few issues (1) My parking spot was taken when I arrived -- there aren't really any signs up for deterrence. It was 4th of July weekend, so the beach was bumping and there was absolutely no place to park. This resolved the next morning, but the spot was occupied on ANOTHER occasion during my stay (2) Wifi was spotty and went out on multiple occasions. The router is in a different unit, so it makes it impossible to 'self serve' and restart (3) Communication with the owner was OK, but there was no follow-up to see if there was a resolution after reporting parking/wifi issues. I also had to go through several mediums to get my check-in instructions -- messaged on VRBO, texted, and called.

My stay at the apartment was terrific. It’s close proximity to the beach was great. It’s several blocks from the craziness of the very fun ocean front walk. Being that, it was nice and quiet. And the parking spot is INVALUABLE.

We love everything about this place is only a few steps to the beach and lots of stores and restaurants really close, the only thing we regret is not ask about the parking lot it's too tight but overall we loved this place!

Needs only a few additional "pieces" to be perfect. Such as a vacumn or even a broom and dust pan would be very helpful. (hard to avoid tracking in some sand when you are only a few steps from the beach) Some additional basic kitchen accessories would help as well . (good can and wine opener etc.) Would definitely stay here again!

So close to the beach. Bed was comfortable and place was clean. Would definitely stay again.

Excellent location, couch was smaller than expected 🤷🏿‍♂️ But overall, a nice stay… Would definitely stay again!

Location was great. Bed was very comfortable. Furnishings were lacking with some key items missing (spoons, mirror in bedroom, dish drain base, very limited bath towels, no key for garbage dumpster).
