Location was perfect for our family of 5. We were 2 very short blocks to the beach. 5-10 minute walk to Washington Ave, which has many cool restaurants, shops and even a yoga studio. Venice is within biking distance or a short drive north. The Marina del Ray beaches are quiet, expansive and removed from the Venice scene. We went on many walks along the canals and beaches....the homes are beautiful! We had a very nice vacation....thank you!
