I stayed one night in Elm’s Blueberry House and one night in the Turquoise Cabin and enjoyed both thoroughly. The Blueberry House is a classic California beach house smack dab in the middle of the all that is cool about ever-so-cool Venice.
I travel solo and there was obviously plenty of room for me, but this place is plenty spacious enough for a couple’s weekend. Em has decorated in a way that adds charm to already charming house. The kitchen has everything you could want, the wifi is good, and the bed is very comfortable.
The Turquoise Cabin a studio at the back of the property that is a cool, small version of the Blueberry House. It has everything I need in terms of space to cook, to work, and to hang. There is also an interesting loft space incorporated in it if you need a couple more beds.
Em is a very conscientious host, who had everything ready, and when I had a problem with a sticky door handle she had it repaired within the hour. Kudos!
If you are from out of town and want a taste of the LA beach scene, or if you’re a local wanting to get your Venice on these two places are perfect for that.
