Very clean, nice, older home with a great location in Venice. Megan was great to work with and very responsive. The amenities were nice and unexpected- wifi, boogie boards, bikes, beach towels, etc. The tvs and satellite were great especially since it was the start of college football season. The kitchen appliance are all modern; more than enough utensils, glasses, and stemware. Towels and bedsheets provided. The large open downstairs is perfect for a large party to get together.
Since it is an older home, there is no air conditioner... we're from Texas where AC is almost a constitutional right. We stayed over the Labor Day weekend which also happened to be in the middle of an abnormally high heat wave. Bad luck. There are fans in every bedroom. Just know that if the forecast is going to be over 90 degrees, expect to sweat.
We were a large party (4 couples) I imagine a home this size will be rented by similar parties. We rented only 2 cars which was perfect, if your party has 3 or more vehicle, parking will be an issue.
The house is on a Venice walk street, great for getting to and from the beach. You will see and hear the neighbors. Unfortunately we had some extremely loud neighbors just to the east of the house... loud partying started at 3am and was still going when we checked out at noon. Megan was aware of this and plans to contact the owner of the property. It just happened on the last night of the 3 nights we were there so no biggie. It would have been an issue if it had happened earlier. Like I wrote, Megan is very responsive-- thru the entire stay.
I would recommend this property to anyone. Thanks again Megan.
