This is a great place to stay in Venice. Kevin is an outstanding communicator and has many personal touches that make you smile. We stayed with our teenage sons (14 and 16) and we all loved it. We used the 4 bikes provided to get to the beach and ride along the boardwalk to the Santa Monica pier. There were 6 beach towels provided, along with beach toys, boogie boards, beach chairs, a basketball and football. Young families may find it a bit far to the beach. We did not at all. The living space was perfect for the family and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking. We BBQ'd on the lovely patio. The beds were all comfortable with nice bedding (even the pull out). Actually, everything was designed so well. I really can't think of anything negative about our stay. I highly recommend it.
