This is a great apartment that’s a very short walk to the beach and close to everything around Santa Monica. We appreciated all of the items provided for the beach (chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, etc.). A nice welcome from the host and everything you need to cook.

Honestly, you can’t beat this location! It’s such a clutch spot, close enough where you can hear the waves in the morning. The hosts were great and have so much beach gear for you to use.

Had an amazing time in Santa Monica in Dayle’s lovely carriage house! Clean and perfect for my family. Close walking to many restaurants and beach across the street! Dayle went the extra mile for me when I absentmindedly left my passport in a drawer! She found it and is graciously sending it back to me. Saved me from a huge hassle!
