Me, my husband and three adult kids had a wonderful time in Santa Monica. Matthew was a wonderful host and responded within minutes to any questions we had. The house was perfect for all of us with lots of space and beautiful decor. It was even better than the pictures. The front patio was also stunningly beautiful and a great place to sit and enjoy an evening around the fire pit or a morning cup of coffee. The location was amazing. We enjoyed being able to walk to the Venice beach, the Santa Monica pier and the shops/restaurants on Abbott Kinney Blvd. The drive to Malibu, Downtown LA and other attractions was easy and scenic. I highly recommend this rental and would definitely stay there again if I’m ever in the area.
