Our family had an enjoyable stay at the house. It was great for all ages -my husband & I, my in-laws & our kids aged 4&6 were all comfortable. We loved being close to the beach and having the bbq and outdoor space. The house can be noisy at times, you can hear people talking on the streets as well as people flushing toilets & walking upstairs as it’s wooden floors. So if they are up at 6am, so are you. I was aware of this from previous reviews -This was fine for us as we have small kids and we’re getting up anyway. On that note- the most impressive toilet flush- it’s like your business is being transported to another universe! Works very well! Living areas are compact, but well laid out. The bedrooms are nice and big. Great big comfortably firm beds & long pillows. Downstairs bunk room is like a basement room and a bit stuffy, it has no windows. 3 beds with soft comfy mattresses & a top bunk that is very firm. There is a door to outdoors just outside the entrance, but we could not open it. I did not ask about it as we did not use this room much, my kids just slept there at night. We had one long parking bay, can fit 2 smaller cars behind each other if needed. Was perfect for a very large SUV- we had rented an Escalade and had plenty space. Bathrooms could do with an update, en-suite is awkward to move around in & main has little storage, but all work fine. Clean towels and enough amenities. Great big cupboards in bedrooms for luggage and all else. Bug nets on bedroom doors to outside and windows, which are great for letting in fresh air in summer as it can get quite warm. Bring your own hairdryer if you are going to need one. Not much need on beach days, but if you have a night out planned - it is not very strong/effective. Kitchen is well stocked with extras like sauces in the cupboard & fridge. Good spice selection. Loads of bowls for entertaining. Great wine fridge! Sonos system for music which was very useful. My kids loved playing in the hot tub! Keeping it clean became a game as it is situated under a tree that drops small flowers and leaves constantly. It has a cover fog when not in use. I left a little fishing net there with the other toys :) All in all it is a nice beach spot that needs a little TLC, it’s in a nice neighbourhood with a fab 3 Minute walk to the beach - you are paying for the location. Restaurants & Starbucks just a few streets away. Rent bicycles & surfing equipment right there on the beach. It’s a nice ride to Santa Monica Pier. There is a detailed guide book with a lot of clearly explained instructions & rules. Vanessa is a great...
