Casita Mar Vista Private Guest House With Jacuzzi, Spanish Patio & Fountain

The casita is larger then the photos reflect. It is in a great neighborhood with easy free parking.Mature gorgeous tree lined streets and super close to the ocean.We loved staying here.The hot tub is very private and outdoor shower was fun.

Amazing retreat! Comfortable bed and a wonderful host. The shower is outside and there is a plug in stove so for anyone who wants an indoor shower please note the above. Safe neiborhood close to Venice blvd. Stayed here for over a week and it was a great place to rest and relax in after touring Los Angeles

Wonderful, comfortable bungalow in a great neighborhood; Bay has done a great job. It was a pleasure to stay there.

It was very clean, attractive and close to my daughter. There was a large flat-screen TV and access to Netflix...nice! The owner permitted my daughter to stock the fridge with groceries before we arrived; we are seniors and not going into grocery stores in summer 2020 because of COVID. There was an electric kettle, coffee maker and a couple of goodies were in the cabinet. The outdoor shower was very, very private and had plenty of warm water, shampoos, conditioners, body washes, etc.....nice!! BUT: The hot tub was an amenity that wasn't worth using; so many rules about it. Another rule was to leave dirty dishes in sink instead of washing=absurd! Smelly dishes in sink all night, a few feet from bed. Next day we were told to leave them in a bag on the outside table. We used the last of the supplied plastic bags for this. Emptying trash upon leaving the cottage was reasonable but we never had enough plastic bags for this chore. The owner said she would leave us more but she only left us ONE more. Oh, and no paper towels or napkins were supplied. No colander in the kitchen to wash grapes and no stopper for the drain to keep grapes from going down the drain. Most ridiculous was the rule that the full wall of shelved books was off-limits to us. We have stayed all over the world in all sorts of places and never have been told we couldn't even look at the books. Did the owner think we would steal them? Crazy! I think if you need a place only to sleep and for nothing else at all, this place is fine.

this is a beautiful property marred by an old sofa bed that does not close up, thereby taking up most of the primary living space and leaving no room in front of the television for seating. a very awkward arrangement that could easily be rectified. also, host wants shades drawn. this creates a dark and unwelcoming space.

Great !

a. The pull out bed took up all the living space with no space to sit and relax when not in bed. b. Bed is very uncomfortable and slopes downwards. c. Hot plate without anything to cook in is hardly commendable. d. Outdoor shower is not practical in chilly weather. We showered once and afterwards did so at a family members place. e. There should be guidelines established for people to be able to rent out places in private properties. Hotels certainly have such guidelines.

This property was easy to arrange. Location is quiet and accessible. Beautiful garden like setting was a welcomed respite at the end of our busy days in LA. We would rent again.

Everything was as listed. Bay couldn't have been nicer and the place was perfect! I would definitely go back.

We enjoyed our stay here... thank you Bay! Just a couple blocks from Venice Blvd., this is a great place for peace and quiet . I walk early mornings- it's about 2 1/4 miles for a stroll to the Venice Beach oceanfront. The pullout bed/ couch is very soft and comfortable. The patio is relaxing, and the hot tub and outdoor shower around back is peaceful, private and wonderful (even in 50 degree weather!). Bay is always available and ready to answer questions or suggest places to go. I would love to come back and stay here again the next time my wife and I are in LA.
