My husband and I rented Brendan oceanfront condo for the first week in Feb. First of all Brendan is very easy to work with and contact. The condo was in good condition and a prefect location for our week vacation. We had a wonderful sunny week and the views from every room are to die for. The sunsets are unbelievable! There can be many people walking on the promenade but it doesn't really bother you at all. We even had the windows open and enjoyed the people watching. Where you sleep it was always pretty quiet even on the weekends. We really enjoyed the restaurant next door called Figtree for breakfast. Before 9 it's half price and its really good. We also really enjoyed renting bikes right next door. It has a Venice address but it is only a couple of blocks from Santa Monica. We parked our car and really were able to walk everywhere very easily.
I definietly recommend.
