In the heart of downtown Venice this duplex is a perfect location for dining, shopping, and beaching! The house was well stocked with supplies in a quiet location. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Venice Beach!
This home was perfect for our needs and it was meticulously maintained. We appreciated having bikes, clean beach chairs, and abundance of fresh towels. New dishes, nice silverware and glassware were a welcome addition to the beautiful kitchen. Ziploc bags, paper towels, kitchen detergent, foil, and laundry detergent were all provided and very useful for someone who was only staying for a week. Although we did not get to use the backyard, the chairs and setting looked delightful. We loved walking to town and the beach from this amazing home. We look forward to renting this clean and comfortable home again.
We booked our stay here because of location/access to the wedding party. It was nice to be close…very close to all the activities that had been scheduled. The place was very clean and equipped/child proofed with everything that you could ever imagine for children and adults. When I arrived I was very excited to see the aesthetics and the decor were on point. The beach accessories and chairs were an amazing touch as most people cannot fly with such luxuries. Management was also very easy to communicate with. If I could suggest one thing it would be to provide hair dryers in the bathrooms. I never travel with one because they can be bulky but in this case I never asked to see if they provided one so that’s my fault. We will for sure be booking again!
