Would recommend. Kate (manager) was excellent, made us feel welcome and was very responsive to addressing our needs (e.g., replacing missing ironing board, providing cold drinks and snacks, bringing extra beach towels).

House was clean (although I would still wear shoes/ slippers indoors) and well organized. Very nice TV set (with basic FIOS channels), strong WiFi reception, good appliances and lighting, nice cold A/C and the washer/dryer (in garage) were handy after visiting beach.

Bedrooms and master bath were on the “cozy” side but spacious enough for what we needed. Beds were comfortable and the kids loved the bunk beds. Shower water pressure was good. Bar soap was furnished, but no shampoo or conditioner (we brought our own so did not follow-up on this with Kate). There is a two-car garage, but realistically will hold only one car. Space outside of the garage is enough for 2 cars, if necessary. Neighbors were a little noisy on some nights (e.g., music and yelling), but they quieted down before it got real late.

Location is walking distance to Abbott Kinney, which has a lot of shops/stores. Very hip area and lots of coffee/dessert places nearby, with restaurants a little more of a walk down the strip. Beach is walking distance, but on the far side (at least for me). We felt safe walking in the immediate neighborhood, even in the evening. Quick drive to Santa Monica. Whole Foods and other shops in quick driving distance. Convenient drive from/to LAX (mostly local).
