Chuck is definitely the best host I’ve ever encountered! My group was in a bind because our accommodations fell through last minute. I messaged Chuck about staying at Magic House the same day, but it was not available because a group had just left and it was not cleaned yet. Chuck (who is a magician) pulled a proverbial rabbit out of his hat and had a cleaning crew show up at 7 pm so that we could get into the house by 11 pm, same day. He was truly a lifesaver.
Magic House itself is better than described/pictured! The home theater kept the attention of the kids and adults alike, with all streaming services available and a wonderful projector and huge screen. The grand piano was enjoyed by the kids as well. The kitchen is fully stocked, and spacious, as is the rest of the house. Bedroom sizes are very large, and there is easily seating for 8 people in the theater room.
My daughters especially loved the fish pond in the quaint backyard area.
Chuck stays on the property, in a completely separate house, which is actually great; when we had any questions, he was able to help right away, but otherwise, we had complete privacy. And as a bonus, you’re able to park in the attached garage!
Chuck is a true gentleman, maybe the last of his kind, and Magic House is a lovely place to stay while visiting Santa Monica (5 mins from the Pier and 3rd St Promenade.) Book Magic House for your next getaway, and I’m sure your experience will be as great as mine.
Thanks Chuck, looking forward to staying with you again soon!
