Venice Beach Cottage Retreat - Private & Peaceful

Suzan's place was just right for our week stay, tucked behind a secure locked courtyard in a nice neighborhood. The apartment was clean and well appointed with good lighting and easy street parking. There is a very thorough notebook with information about everything in the local area. Our host Suzanne was friendly and helpful and we definitely hope to return soon.

This cute cottage is a perfect getaway in a pretty and peaceful neighborhood, yet close enough to the Pacific Ocean. Suzan is an excellent host who cares about every detail to ensure a positive experience for her guests. We loved staying here and will certainly stay again on our next trip to LA!

Comfortable, quiet and clean! Lovely cottage with all the necessary amenities!

Suzan’s property is beautiful and reflective of the care she puts in to make sure that her guests are comfortable and have a positive experience. Truly a comfy little home away from home! I especially appreciated the cleanliness and the full kitchen. And as a solo traveler, the attention to guest safety while staying on the property put me completely at ease. Suzan is very communicative and is a wonderful host. I will definitely stay here again when I am in the area.

This cottage was comfortable and cozy for my husband and I. It had everything we needed to relax after days spent visiting family nearby and LA sites. The beach was close enough to walk to as was grocery and other stores and restaurants. Suzan was there to greet us and showed us around the place in case we had any questions. We found this cottage to be quiet and private in a safe residential area. Perfect for us!

The cottage was quaint and relaxing and the host Suzan was very friendly and accomodating of my little chug Wilbur. The gated patio area outside the cottage is perfect if you have little ones, furbaby or otherwise, as it adds a degree of security and privacy. Also loved the option to open the windows in the evening and enjoy the cool breeze of the nearby ocean. If you travel with children, Marine Park just a few blocks away is a great option!

This was a comfortable and lovely space / Suzan is a wonderful host and made me and my small dog feel right at home! Look forward to my next stay here.

Easy check-in. Attentive host

Loved this property! It was just right for my husband and I and the host was extremely nice! We'll be back again!

Nice to have the courtyard for the d9g and our bikes.

My boyfriend and I really loved our three night stay in Suzan's beautiful vrbo! Suzan was was an excellent and kind host, and we really enjoyed meeting her and her adorable dog Sunny. The apartment was exactly as shown in the pictures with all the listed amenities. The indoor space was clean, fresh, bright and inviting, with very tasteful furnishings. The bed was very comfortable. The workspace/desk was a great spot to catch up on some emails and work. The outdoor patio space was beautiful. The laundry machines were super convenient. Parking on the street was very easy. Suzan's home was a terrific home base for our hiking adventures in Runyon Canyon as well as our trips to local beaches and the Getty Villa. It was also conveniently close to some great restaurants in Santa Monica which we got to via uber/lyft. After this terrific experience we are actively looking for excuses to come back to LA just so that we can stay here again!

Suzan is awesome. She is a wonderful host. This Vrbo was by far the cleanest we have ever stayed which fully appreciate. The place is very up to date and so cute. The bathroom has a heater so you are not cold when you get out. It is a nice big bathroom and shower. Sounds silly but that was awesome for me 😁 The location was very close to everything. I think it’s probably close enough to the beach to bike if you are driving and thinking about bringing your bikes. You will save a mint on parking on the beach or Santa Monica. If you do park at the beach we figured out our last day that towards the south end by the canals is a lot cheaper. The patio is so cute and very well kept up. Huge lime tree on the property if you like to put lime in your water. We never had an issue with parking. You can park right out front. I know that can be an issue in California sometimes. On our second day the washer and dryer room was locked so I contacted Suzan and it literally took her about a minute to unlock for us! My only mistake and I am sure I missed it is I thought it was a one bedroom. It is more like a studio but there is a huge closet to store everything. We never felt cramped at all. It is very bright and open. Suzan also left a book of things to do around the area that was helpful! There is a grocery store right down the street as well. I never leave a review this long. Suzan’s place and her were awesome and we will be back.

The host Suzan was so helpful and kind and the cottage was clean, super cute, and well equipped. Great area, safe and quiet. We’d definitely come back.

I stayed for two nights in Suzan's adorable cottage in Venice. It's clean and welcoming, and it has everything you might want or need. Parking is easy, and the neighborhood is quiet and perfect for walking if that is your thing. Grocery stores, including Erewhon, are a very short drive, as is Abbott Kinney, for some fun shopping and the beach. The airport is also pretty close; it is only a 20-minute drive. I will be back and highly recommend it.

The cottage was perfect with everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay, including a close location to the beach. Suzan was a great host and we appreciate the extra things she did to make sure we had a positive experience.

The property was nice with a good zen feel, but overwhelmed by too many security cameras. It felt very invasive and uncomfortable at times. Overall it was a nice stay.

This peaceful little cottage was just perfect. The kitchen is fully equipped to make any sort of meal you would like. The bathroom is gorgeous and pristine with plenty of space for all your toiletries. I loved having a closet where I could unpack and settle in. The hostess, Suzan, is very nice and accommodating. I look forward to spending many more trips here.
