Our stay was great. The amenities were comfortable. Milo greeted us and was very helpful with recommendations for various places. The pool was chilly but nice to sit and put our feet in after a long day of touring LA. We would definitely stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay here. The property was very clean and it had all the necessary items for our stay. The host, Milo, was very personable and had a lot of recommendations for things to do in the area.

The property was beautiful, the beds were comfy and the pool was a lovely addition. The property is near the freeway and in the flight path of LAX--which you only notice if outside. While the property was lovely, I wouldn't stay there again. The host Milo was often outside (& super chatty) if we were outside, so it didn't feel like we had much privacy if we were outside of the villa. And he also made an inappropriate comment to my friend about "chasing her" if "he were younger."

me and the kids fall in love with this wonderful place. an unforgettable 4 days. Thank you very much for your great hospitality. See you soon dear Milo & Beth

Great place, great host, I wish we have more time to stay

Our family very much enjoyed the hospitality from Beth and Milo, our hosts, as well as the property itself, which is absolutely stunning and special. If you are looking for a quiet, comfortable, clean place that smells of fresh flowers, book this property :)

Milo is a very gracious host and the property is beautifully maintained.

The hosts were very kind and made our group feel very welcome & comfortable! The space was very pretty and felt like home.

We had a wonderful stay! Beth and Milo were so kind, amazing hosts. Milo gave us the grand tour and answered all our questions and gave recommendations for the area. It was super clean, quiet and close to everything. The beds were comfortable and although we didn’t have time to swim, the pool was beautiful to look at and there were flowers and fruit trees everywhere. It was so peaceful and perfect!

Stayed 4 days, great location for Santa Monica, many beaches & Universal studios! Place was very clean & we had all the privacy we were looking for! To cold to use the pool, never went into the hot tub.

We loved our quick weekend stay! Close to the beaches and the Getty Museum, this little cottage was romantic and sweet. The property is beautiful and the owners are friendly and welcoming. If you’re looking to experience local flavor, the owners have many great suggestions and tips to help make your trip enjoyable and stress-free. We will be back!

Great location and lovely hosts. We hope to return soon!

We really enjoyed staying here. It was a cute rustic place, and inside was very clean. It felt like we were staying with family that welcomed us graciously vs staying someplace that was just running a business. We hope to be back!

Sunlight streaming in the windows, orange trees shading the yard, and just the perfect intimate oasis. Such nice energy all around. Milo and Beth were attentive and lovely hosts. We had a peaceful week with restorative dips in the hot tub -- and easy access to great restaurants. The neighborhood is wonderfully walkable--with groceries and coffee close by.

Milo and Beth are kind, attentive, helpful, and a pleasure to know. The accommodations were spotless and charming and comfortable and quiet . We loved the hot tub. The location was wonderful as we were near all shopping and a very short ride to Venice and Marina del Rey. We would return in a heartbeat. Thank you, our new friend, Milo. You are such a lovely new friend!

We had a very nice stay at Milo and Beth's property. Their pool house is comfortable, clean, has nice necessities and amenities, well located in a safe, quiet location, and has ample parking. As a party of a couple and 2 friends, we made do with the sleeping arrangements. Communication ahead of our stay was excellent. I'm sure you are looking to book your stay based on the photos; sure enough the pool house more than lives up to them. The quaint ambiance was just what we wanted for our brief escape to LA. Our caveat is that, as other reviewers have alluded to, you will interact with the host to a degree beyond what you may expect or be comfortable with. In spite of being a well-travelled group who have stayed in many shared arrangements in the past, we found that his hosting style was overbearing at times. As a result, we found ourselves being pointed to a degree we didn't necessarily want to be. He also made some inappropriate comments. He was not ill-intentioned, but the comments expressing his views on COVID, our group arrangement, gender roles, and even physical appearances were not professional or necessary, and made us uncomfortable. Don't get me wrong - he is a very kind host who truly wants to make your stay comfortable. If you are looking for a lot of interactions with the host, perhaps you'll enjoy this aspect of your stay. However, his hosting style is certainly not for everyone. All that said, thank you Beth and Milo!

Beth & Milo are a pleasure, so welcoming and accommodating. The place is cozy, warm and beautifully styled.

The host was very friendly and easy to work with. The house itself was nice, clean, and as pictured. The bed was comfortable and the house was a nice size for 2 people. The location was convenient for going to Santa Monica pier/beach and was not difficult to get to other areas of LA either. The neighborhood felt safe. The pool and hot tub area looked better and cleaner in the photos online. The slide did not appear like it could be used. It is likely partially the time that we were in town and the host said there was a windstorm prior to our arrival, but the pool and hot tub water did not appear clean. I understand that the hot tub could be turned on and filtered at request, but did not appear to be regularly filtered, which seemed unusual to me. I would recommend this as a place to stay if you are not interested in the pool area as the space other than the pool was clean, comfortable, and had everything that was needed for a nice stay.

Perfect location for going to Malibu, West Hollywood and Santa Monica. Easy to park. Beds comfortable. They had coffee and tea and plenty of supplies. Beth and milo were very nice. We loved the donut shop they recommended. We had a great stay at their beautiful home.

This adorable rental was clean and well maintained. The hosts were super friendly and helpful! The neighborhood was wonderful! A true retreat in the middle of a busy city!!

Everything was great! The cottage is so cute and inviting. The location is convenient for getting to the beach or into LA. It had everything we needed. Communication with the host was great too. Our needs were met quickly and they were very friendly! I would definitely stay here again!

Milo was a great host and had lots of tips for us! The hot tub is wonderful! 10/10 will recommend! 😀

The location is perfect to get to so many attractions in LA. Good for sleeping and going. Not a place that I would spend time lounging and hanging out. The shower and bathroom were unique and, water pressure was unbelievable. As with many VRBOs, limited bath towels and outlets to charge devices. Pool and hot tub looked dilapidated. Very safe and quiet neighborhood near a school. Parking is directly in front on the main house. Do not recommend for individuals with any mobility issues. Loose rug, and the bathroom floor just never dried. The bed is against two walls, so it is challenging getting in and out.Hosts were very nice , and communication was excellent. I highly recommend The Laugh Factory. Skip the Citadel Outlet mall. The original Farmer's Market in LA is a must visit. A huge variety of foods and sweets. Tar pits were fascinating. Parking in LA and Santa Monica is very affordable and there is an abundance of garages and lots. I would recommend taking a tour of LA early in your trip, and you get a taste of different attractions. Then you can go back of something interests you.

We loved everything about this property. It was so charming, and the hosts were so helpful not only in teaching us everything about the cottage, but also about the neighborhood which is a wonderful part of Los Angeles. Very comfortable very well. Set up very clean. Will definitely stay there again.

We loved our time at the cottage. From the scent of lavender in the air, to the superb amenities (a stone-walled shower?!) it was truly like stepping into a cottage in a little Tuscan village. The energy in the space is great! Milo is very friendly and always available to help or chat. He had great recommendations for food in the area and made sure we had a real lay of the land. We can’t wait to come back and stay again!

The owners we're wonderful to us. Very accommodating. Knows area and place to go well. The hot tub was my friend. This place is close to every direction you want to go and visit. Parking was great for our rental. The cottage was perfect for us. So cozy and quiet. We felt very safe with our stay. Would stay again. Thank you Beth & Milo.

We picked the area due to the proximity to our children’s apartments. The location was easy access to what we needed and where we were headed. Milo and Beth are very nice and welcoming. Milo gave us the grand tour and is very helpful with any activities you may be interested in doing. He really knows the LA area. Their quaint Tuscan style cottage is a pleasant stay. The bed is queen size. They do provide a twin daybed for extra sleeping space. Everything you need for your stay.

pretty good

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful place! Everything was nice and clean. The place had everything we needed and it was close to highways, LAX, stores and restaurants. We enjoyed the hot tub and our son had toys to play with. Milo and Beth were very helpful and quick to answer questions and get you what you need. We highly recommend staying here!

We really enjoyed our stay. We didn't meet Beth during our week, but felt like we had A LOT of time with Milo. This is a very cozy, intimate place, but be aware that there is little privacy. The owners can see into your space at all times and vice versa. If you are outside using the grill, pool, or hot tub, Milo will check in to make sure you are using it appropriately. On the flip side, Milo is a wealth of knowledge about the area and also some other really cool stories. Great place and would stay again.
