We had an amazing time at this property. The location is amazing and the home is beautiful. We enjoyed overlooking the canal and sitting on the decks and in the backyard. There are restaurants in close proximity and there is no noise from any of the roads. Short walk to the beach and some of us even used the canoe to paddle through the canals. The kitchen had everything we needed and there are several areas to gather together. We will definitely plan a trip back to this property the time we are in the Los Angeles area.

Perfection. The property is all that you would hope it would be - and more. The location, the design, the office, the bedrooms - the well appointed kitchen - parking. It has all - even a canoe - just walk in and have a place with a vibe that feels like home. PS The sunset views at night are seriously some of the best I have experienced. You will not be disappointed.

Canal Holidays

Our family of four had a great stay in this house right on the Venice canals. The house is beautiful and spacious, exactly as described, and convenient to LA attractions. The house is well-maintained and very clean, has great amenities, and is fully stocked with anything you might need. Many restaurants, etc... are walkable but also very easy to park and get around! Excellent and easy communication with the host who is very responsive. Would definitely stay here again.

Dream come true

I stayed at this stunning home on the canal for two weeks with my best friend and I can easily say it made the destination for our road-trip a dream come true. The neighborhood is safe, calm, and pretty quiet. The canal and nearby beach were so refreshing, the garage was perfect and we felt extremely safe and comfortable the entire time. The house itself was wonderful, my friend and I used the sound system throughout it everyday, the kitchen was perfect for when we wanted to cook anything, we had everything we could think of and more. I think the cherry on top of it all was just how kind, respectful and helpful Josh was, he responded extremely fast whenever we had a question and continued perfect communication Throughout our whole stay to make sure we were settling in good and he made it very easy to contact him if we needed help. Everything about our time here was too good to be true and we’ll remember it forever.

Picturesque Venice Canal Location

We took an 8 day family vacation to Los Angeles to see the city, mountains, and beach and used this house as our stay. Loved it, and it was a great base camp for us. The checkin process with the host was clear and unambiguous, exactly what you would want - lots of explanations, very reasonable asks, and overall a smooth process. 100% five star. The house itself is set on the canals in a quiet neighborhood, off the bustle of the city. Peaceful and tranquil is how I would describe it. Lots of natural light throughout the day, and close enough to the water to get cool breezes at night. We also utilized the garage for our rental car without hassle. Access to and from LAX was super easy, and to the rest of the area - the city, PCH, Malibu and the mountains - was also unexpectedly smooth. The location was perfect for us. We have a small market nearby, and a bigger market not much further away. Our morning routine included breakfast at home, walking to spend a couple of hours at the skatepark, and then some coffee at a local cafe on the way home. Super calm, very relaxing. Lots of food options in the neighborhood if you need them, we did ramen noodles one night, and another night hit a nearby grocery for some prepared foods. We also made use of the well appointed kitchen. Checkout was smooth as can be, again perfectly reasonable. Good communication, easy process, exactly what I would want for a vacation rental. Five star all the way. A vacation the family enjoyed!

Favorite place to stay in L.A.

We come back annually to visit friends we made when we lived here for 23 years and have stayed in Josh's house several times. He's the consummate host, his house is fully equipped, well maintained, comfortable, light, well stocked with all sorts of cooking and domestic equipment, great appliances, kitchen items, fabulous showers, parking for 2 cars, and the canal is the most peaceful spot in L.A. 10 minute walk to Abbott Kinney, markets, healthy food, restaurants, and great ice cream.

Another Delightful Visit to the Venice Canals

This was our second stay at this amazing property and we hope to return regularly. Josh is a fantastic host--easy to communicate with, hospitable and always ready to make sure guests have a great experience. The property itself is as lovely as the pictures indicate and it's a treat to be able to sit outside, walk around (or canoe!) the canals or take a short stroll to the beach. The house is a perfect place to be based on the Westside and we recommend it highly.

This property was easily accessible by foot and car. The house was well stocked with everything you might need on vacation. The house was absolutely wonderful - uniquely laid out, well decorated, well furnished, master bath with dual shower heads and steam. The canals were a great safe location for our family within easy walking distance to the beach, Abbott Kinney Blvd, and Washington St. I have already recommended this house to friends.

The Perfect Home For Three Generations of Fun

The Canal House truly set the tone for our multi generational Milestone, Birthday Celebrations Vacation. From the beautiful architecture to the craftsmanship inside the home, it is clear that this home is well loved. No expense has been spared to make guest feel welcomed. The home has beautiful, yet very comfortable furnishings and every amenity one could imagine. I was thrilled to find a home with a media room that allowed for a dedicated teenager space. The master suite did not disappoint either. My 75 year old mother was most pleased. All of the beds, including the pull out sofa in the media room were extraordinarily comfortable. The biggest hit of the home, the multi deck platforms. The teenagers loved being on the upper most deck nightly. My mother enjoyed the other two decks/patios off of the master. Lastly, location, location, location… The proximity to the beach and accessibility around town by scooter rental was a favorite for my teen. My daughter and I walked to restaurants and the boardwalk. Marina Del Rey was a 5 minute walk. Santa Monica Pier, Beverly Hills a very short car ride away. I could not have asked for a more perfect place to bring 3 generations together to create such beautiful memories. This home truly exceeded all of my expectations. Josh we hope to have an occasion to visit again in the near future. Thank you for your hospitality. The Carter’s
