We stayed at Andrew’s beach house with our two young kids. We had a great visit and would definitely stay there again.
Location: perfect. House is on a quiet residential street but turn the corner and you see the ocean. We were at the beach (and beachside playgrounds) multiple times every day and our 3yo was happy to make the walk. Even closer is Main Street which has lots of cafe and restaurant options. Slightly further, but still within easy waking distance, are ultra-trendy or commercial areas like Rose, Abbot Kinney and 3rd St promenade. It’s rare to be able to walk anywhere in LA so having so much on our doorstep was a true luxury.
House: charming, spacious and comfortable 100 yo craftsman. Plenty of space for our family and had everything we needed. One warning: this is an actual family home, not a sterile pseudo-hotel. For the most part that was a good thing (properly stocked kitchen, various handy bits and bobs available if needed).
Host: Andrew was super-responsive and helpful both before arrival and during stay.
