Venice Beach Oceanside Retreat~ Steps to Beach! Gated Yard, BBQ, Parking, Cabana

I loved my stay here, cozy and quaint, half a block from the beach with VERY convenient parking spot. Host is very nice, welcoming and has a wealth of information. Very comfortable stay with all the creature comforts necessary, host thought of everything, even ziploc bags and spices for cooking. Definitely recommend!

Our stay was fantastic. Kevin and Sydney are excellent hosts. The house was fantastic, and the outside space, location, and dynamic are great. Thanks, Kevin and Sydney.

We were kind of far from the beach, especially when there was a dune built between us and the ocean.

proximity to beach is great. the only downside is that this area in general has noisy traffic especially at night. helicopters overhead at night can wake you up at night. Overall, it is worth the noise. that is just part of being in Venice.

Very beautiful house at the center of Venice Beach! The owner was very nice and helpful! Best time!!! Thank you

Very nice, quaint beach bungalow! 2 adults and two teenage boys stayed for 4 nights...close quarters, but worked just fine. Bedroom is very small, but bed is extremely comfortable and linens are very nice. Pull out sofas were perfect for the boys. The amenities were above and beyond any rental we have had before...coffee, teas, chocolates (not on my holiday diet plan, but were a tasty sweet surprise), condiments, vinegars, linens, towels, soap, shampoo, conditioner and on and on!! Kevin could not have been nicer, even though we were later than anticipated in arriving. He took his time to thoroughly show us around the property and give us tips on the neighborhood/ community. My favorite thing...the covered patio... perfectly decorated and cozy at night!! The boys enjoyed the lush, perfectly manicured lawn! My husband appreciated the private, gated off street parking that is included in the rental. Kevin and Sydney have a no shoes in the house policy... Completely get it and I love it, however I don't like going barefoot on the floors either. Suggest bringing some cozy slippers along, or some fuzzy socks. Staying here was wonderful and we will definitely be back and share info about this little beach garden bungalow gem with our friends. It is obvious Kevin and Sydney don't want to rent just a vacation house to VRBO customers, they realize they are renting a vacation home and a whole experience....big difference!! Thanks again Kevin and Sydney! PS - The entire Venice Beach area is challenging to get in and out of, be patient and give yourself plenty if time if leaving the area. Maybe explore different routes rather than the standard GPS directions, as they are overwhelming busy at times. Even better...just enjoy the Venice Beach community and don't worry about fighting traffic!!

Really enjoyed our stay, place was just as described. Just a few hundred feet from the beach, the location couldn't have been better. The owners we're very nice and made us feel very welcomed. Overall a great stay.

What a gem and such a great place to just stay. We had so many plans for the week, but often just found ourselves enjoying being in this little hideaway or not straying very far. (Everything is so close anyway!) The gardens are great. There's a great private patio. This was a working vacation in many ways as we had to bring work with us and this place was super. Wish we could have stayed longer. Kevin took great care of us and we hope he'll have us back! Thanks, Kevin!

A wonderful little slice of paradise and only steps away from the beach. Perfect location and a charming environment. Kevin and Sydney are gracious and lovely people. We highly recommend this as a wonderful get away. We look forward to our next stay.

We loved our experience at this beautiful hidden gem. The access to the beach and restaurants was amazing and we enjoyed evenings in the large garden with our family. It's a peaceful oasis in the heart of Venice. Sydney and Kevin were lovely and the house offered everthing we could have hoped for.

Lovingly cared for, this is a quiet oasis in the hubub of Venice. It is well appointed with comfortable bed and clean, it is stocked with quality appointments. We hesitate to let the word out because we intend to return and don't want to have it all booked up!
