Great beach cottage right near the beach!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Dayle and her beach cottage. She thought of absolutely everything! The check in process was super easy and parking was easily available on the street and in a neighboring lot- both with provided passes! We never had any issues coming home late at night. The cottage itself is delightful-two floors with a queen bed and bathroom downstairs and full kitchen upstairs. When we were there, it was a bit chilly so we used the heat. No problem at all! Plenty of blankets, pillows, towels. And the shower! What great water pressure....it was super! The location of the unit couldn't be any better. Three minutes walk to the beach and about ten minutes to Santa Monica Pier. You couldn't ask for anything more! We will definitely be back! Thanks again for such a lovely stay.

Lovely home

Great house for a family of four with all the necessary accommodations. Comfortable bed and fully equipped kitchen. Really cute decor and a nice patio and one block from the beach. I would give 5 stars for location but due to the rising homelessness and drug use, it was a disappointing factor. Not Dayles fault but a sad reality Still a great spot to stay!

Perfect

I absolutely loved my stay at Dayle's home. It is beautifully decorated with many amenities that you need for your stay at the beach. My family and I enjoyed the walkability of the location and went to the beach/pier every day of our stay. I actually walked 13 miles one day - Venice Beach, Marina Del Ray - so enjoyable and beautiful. The pier was the highlight of the trip for my granddaughter. We purchased the wristband which is good for the entire day. We were able to return in the evening to the pier and ride the rides one more time before the day ended. Dayle is a great host - communicates well and it was so easy to "check in". I would love to come back and stay here again!

Charming Cottage in a Perfect Location

We recently stayed at this cozy cottage in Santa Monica and had a wonderful experience. The location is unbeatable—just minutes from the beach and Santa Monica Pier. It’s a fantastic home base for exploring everything the area has to offer.While the space is a bit tight for a family of four, it’s well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. If you’re looking for a charming spot in an ideal location, this cottage is a great choice. We’d happily stay here again!

Location, Location, Location!

This two story cottage was absolutely the perfect location for our visit to the Los Angeles area of Southern California. The host, Dayle, met us as we arrived, handed us keys and parking permits, and we unloaded quickly. The downstairs of the cottage is basically the bedroom and bathroom, and the upstairs is a kitchenette with a sitting room. I need to brag on the shower as the pressure was wonderful and the showerheads were incredible. One of the best parts of every day of my vacation was that shower. There are TVs with DIRECTV on both levels. Everything you could ever want was provided including a nice hard side cooler, beach towels, beach chairs, etc. The kitchen was also fully stocked with plates, glasses, cookware, etc. A coffee maker along with a fresh package of coffee was provided and delicious. The location is within steps of the Santa Monica pier and beach, as well as downtown Santa Monica shopping and restaurants. Parking was fairly easy with permit parking provided out in front of the unit, and if all of the parking was full, there was a permit for a parking lot just down the block, again with an easy walking distance. It is also less than 1 mile from an entrance ramp onto interstate 10 that will take you anywhere you want to go. I’m telling you, you can’t go wrong with this location. 10 out of 10. Will definitely stay there again.

Lovely carriage house

This location in Santa Monica was perfectly positioned near the beach and was stocked with most everything we could need for the perfect beach trip. This cut down on what we needed to pack ourselves. We found the location to provide easy parking and highway access for our trips into LA while being near enough to the promenade to walk to restaurants and the pier for other activities. We had a great time and would definitely consider this location for another visit to the area.

The place was great! Lots of little touches (snacks, wine, toiletries) really made us feel welcomed. Any type of kitchenware you might need is provided, even baking things like cookie sheets and cake pans. Also loved all the beach things provided (boards, umbrella, chairs, towels). Location was amazing and parking was easy. Place was clean and cozy. Beds were very comfortable. Host was awesome about being available when we had questions or concerns. Would highly recommend this place! Was perfect!
