My traveling partners and I renamed this property our new "Palace in Venice". Every aspect of our stay was spectacular. From the privacy provided by the back house, to the intimacy of the main house. The yard is so well manicured and comfortable we spent most evenings out back by the fire pit. I took several conference calls from the large, covered front porch. Every morning started one of two ways: a jog to Venice boardwalk and back or a jog to Santa Monica Pier and back. Outstanding restaurants are a few blocks away. Modern amenities and appliances all wrapped in a beach house charm. Our hosts were thoroughly in-tune with our needs as travelers and prioritized their communication with us. We will be staying here again... and again, and again. Thanks to Charles and John for making our trip so comfortable and rewarding.
