About this house rental
Inside: Open floor plan w/ remodeled Master Suite - double sinks, walk-in closet, private patio, hotel-grade linens, and polished concrete floors. Fully stocked kitchen, living room with tv (Apple TV), audiophile speaker system, two additional bedrooms w/ queen beds, one with a Roku TV and desk.
Outside: Sunshine, grassy yard, citrus orchard, lounging and eating areas (table seats 10) lit by market lights, large patio umbrella, gas bbq, fire pit, and lawn games. Incl. 2 gated off-street parking spaces and ample street parking.
The garden gets lots of sun year round and is a great space to grill, play games on the lawn, lay out in the sun, hang out by the fire pit and enjoy the coastal LA climate. We have carefully appointed each space for entertainment, enjoyment, and with the needs of families in mind.
The house is centrally located on LA's Westside with easy access to Lincoln Blvd's eclectic shopping and dining, Abbott Kinney's famous restaurants, Rose Ave eateries, Mar Vista boutiques, and of course the beach - it's the perfect home base for whatever brings you to LA.
Our bungalow gracefully accommodates groups/families up to 7 people with plenty of space to gather and connect at the 8 person dining table, the 10 person outdoor table, or in the Living Room with multiple couches. The kitchen is perfect for group meals and entertainment, and kids or adults can hangout in the 3rd bedroom and watch a show or a favorite movie.
For business travelers -- Private workspace with desk in the 3rd Bedroom and an additional desk in the foyer area, with very fast Fibre Optic internet and wireless coverage for all areas of the house and yard. There are power strips at each nightstand for all of your charging needs.
For families with children -- We have a high chair, pack-n-play, blackout shades in all the bedrooms, and outlet covers available for your stay. There is a bathtub in the second bathroom. The back yard is secured by a privacy fence and has plenty of grass for running around. The front yard is also secure and includes a gate that can be closed across the driveway to make a safe play space for young children. Across the street from the house are the fields of the local middle school, and they can be accessed when more outdoor space is needed. The neighborhood is flat and ideal for strollers, scooters, skateboards, and bicycles.
For Entertaining -- The kitchen is equipped for serving groups and families of up to 10 people. We have a gas range, oven, microwave, dishwasher, blender, coffee maker, coffee grinder, electric kettle, hand mixer, a full set of pots and pans, baking supplies, and roasting pans. You are welcome to use the propane BBQ and fire pit in the backyard.
Extras -- Laundry facilities are also available and we are happy to provide beach chairs and towels, board games, and share our library of books about Los Angeles. We are excited to welcome you and are available to help make the most of your visit.

It was perfect for our needs. We found the neighborhood to be quiet and friendly. The outdoor areas were great - when it wasn't raining.

The house was perfect for our family of five. We enjoyed having lots of space inside and out. The location was great. Our host was immediately responsive to all questions. Overall, a great stay!
6 / 10Average·Oct 2021
I rented this house because it’s listed as 3 bedrooms and has a nice-looking yard. We (2 adults, a 5 year old and a crawling 11-month old) were looking forward to the space and being near our family in Santa Monica.
The location is great and the yard is pleasant. Check in was easy. Plenty of soap, shampoo, towels, dishes, laundry machines. The master shower has amazing water pressure and is roomy and relaxing.
A few things that could use some work:
1. One of the bedrooms had a very musty smell. We didn’t even use it. Instead, we put the baby’s pack and play in the large closet in the master bedroom. So we got use of two bedrooms and a closet for the price of a three bedroom house.
2. The place is advertised as “very clean.” Because we have a crawling baby, and because of Covid, we are pretty sensitive to cleanliness. I didn’t feel comfortable having the baby on the floors until after I had mopped/swiffered/Clorox-wiped them. I used about a dozen Clorox wipes on the living room floor…the first few were definitely coming out gray and dirty. There was also quite a bit of sand/dust under the sofa and furniture. So, cleanliness could be better.
3. The place was probably renovated about 10 years ago and I’m not sure about the upkeep that has been done. For example, the floorboards have cracks. And, there was a spacer missing between the wood planks in the living room and the tile in the kitchen, exposing a row of nails. We notified the owner of this issue as soon as we checked in on Thursday (because of the safety hazard for our crawling baby) and it took him more than 48 hours to respond. He finally got back to us late Saturday evening saying that it would be a “tough fix” and his handyman wouldn’t be able to take care of it until after we checked out on Monday. We made-do by lying a towel over the crack/nails. Not impressed given what we were paying.
4. There’s some sort of water moisture issue around the showers - the paint is bubbling and peeling. Not sure how long it’s been going on for, but given the extent of the damage, it’s not a new issue.
Overall, house is well located and nicely outfitted, but suffering from wear and tear and needs better maintenance. Hopefully, the issues we raised with the host/owner will be resolved. And hopefully, he will be more prompt in responding to issues, particularly safety issues, for future guests.
