Pool/Hot Tub
⦾ Please note there is no barrier or fence-->it is not child-proof or baby-proof
⦾ Standard pool waiver must be signed before starting your reservation
⦾ Pool heating optional $85/night up to 85 degrees, in colder months (November through March pool heating $150/night up to 85 degrees). Final temperature also depends on outside temperature at the time. Please notify us in advance if you want to add pool heating.
⦾ Hot tub heating included but must be turned off when not in use, fees will apply if left on for excessive amounts of time such as overnight or during the whole stay, etc.
⦾ Late September, all of October, to Early November there is a tree in the backyard which blooms heavily and fills the pool with flowers and we wouldn't consider it swimmable, probably could take some great Insta pictures :), but not great for regular pool use. In order to prevent damage to the pool systems, we will have our pool tech come scoop it out most every day during this period. When the owner lives here he actually finds it an enjoyable zen activity to scoop it, if you prefer not to have the pool tech come and scoop it yourself then just let us know!

No additional guests on the property at any time that are not on the reservation without prior authorization.

The gardener & pool tech come for weekly service on Tuesday. During late Sept to early November the pool tech or our handyman will come daily to scoop the flowers out of the pool.

Please note there is no luggage storage before check-in or after check-out. If you'd like early check-in, make sure to request it in advance. In most cases we cannot offer it, but we will be happy to let you know in case it is possible (though we may not be able to let you know either way until the morning of check-in in many cases). It is EXTREMELY rare that we can offer late checkout, but if you request it in advance as well we will let you know if it's possible. Requests the morning of for late checkout are not possible due to the need to schedule our cleaners in advance.

Guests are solely responsible to check themselves for personal items and remove them before check-out. If any items left behind are found, we take NO responsibility for their safekeeping in any way. As a courtesy, found items may be arranged to be picked up in Santa Monica at a time that is possible based on our availability; we do not mail forgotten items nor take any responsibility for their storage, transport, nor condition at any time, even if we agree to arrange for pickup.

    We loved the house with it's mid century mod feel and open floor plan. The nana doors created a great flow to the out door pool and back yard. All the beds were very comfortable and kitchen had plenty of pots n pans to cook with. A few notes.. there is no bbq - would of been nice to q at the pool. there is a small airport but the noise is not too bad... the check in instruction come 3 days before your trip starts

    This place is beautiful, well appointed, and very clean. But for our family, the safe and secure location was the best. Mar Vista is an easy drive to Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, The Getty, LAX, etc. The property was in excellent condition and had all the creature comforts we could want. The pool and spa are well maintained. Wifi was great, and they have an office set up where you can knock out some work if you need to. The neighborhood is quite and folks are out walking dogs in the morning, or running down the street to get coffee. There is a Ralphs, CVS, and Starbucks within a minute's drive. The only snag was an electrical issue, where the bathroom lights quit working in the primary suite on our last night. I messaged the property manager, Sara, about it, hoping to elicit some instruction on a work around, breaker panel location, anything, but never got a response. That lack of communication is in the only knock on this property, and it wasn't that big of a deal for us. I still highly recommend this property.

    This is a remarkable place. Great pool and hot tub. Beautiful home -- lots of light and space -- with a fully outfitted kitchen. Everything was in excellent shape, and the location is ideal for Santa Monica and the other beaches. We were a group of five adults and a toddler, and we couldn't have been more pleased with the rental.

    The property was beautiful and clean and everything worked great. We even got to use the pool despite the cold because it was heated perfectly.

    My family and I enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home, which was located centrally for all of the activities that we had planned for our Los Angeles vacation. The spotlessly clean home easily accommodated four adults and two children.

    The home is very comfortable and beautifully designed and decorated. It had everything we needed for our stay and was very clean and spacious. We were in town with our two teens for college tours and were well located for USC and UCLA. The home is close to groceries and restaurants and only a 10-15 min drive into Santa Monica’s third street promenade for great shopping and and the pier. Travel into the heart of LA is also relatively quick (depending on the time of day). The pool/hot tub are nice, but it was too chilly for us to use them the time we were there.
