Our stay at Ray’s Modern Beach House was AMAZING. We were two families traveling together in LA for a week in February. After 2 nights at a hotel in Hollywood (we went to Universal Studios), it was a breath of fresh air to be in a spacious, beautiful, quiet and well appointed house for 4 nights. Check in was seamless. Housecleaner wasn’t quite done when we arrived for our 4pm checkin. It wasn’t a big deal since we just sat in the living room and relaxed. I mentioned this to Ray and he was apologetic and compensated me with a $25 refund and extended my checkout by 30 minutes. I appreciated that. The house has 3 bedrooms, but there are two roll away beds available that can fit additional bodies. Perfect for children. My son slept on a rollaway bed in the master bedroom. There was ample space for our group of 4 adults and 4 children. We made breakfast each morning, but dined out (Gjelina and Ospi) or got takeout (Venice Ramen) for our other meals. We had two cars, which fit in the tandem garage. Street parking was always available outside the house, just be aware of the street cleaning days. The house is located on a very quiet street, within walking distance from Venice Beach, Marina Del Ray and Abbot Kinney Blvd. We rented bikes one day and rode to Santa Monica Pier and around Santa Monica. Got some donuts at Sidecar Doughnuts. Highly recommend! We drove to Malibu one day and spent the day there exploring (shopping at Malibu village and had a seafood feast of a lunch at Broad Street Oyster Co.). We loved coming back to Ray’s house and relaxing in the living room or outside by the fire pit. Since we were traveling with children (ages 1, 4, 10 and 12), it was great having laundry available. We did notice a lot of homeless encampments on Venice beach and in a particular area on our walk to Abbot Kinney. No one bothered us, but something to be aware of. I could go on and on, but overall, a very lovely stay and experience at Ray’s Modern Beach House. I would totally come back and stay here. I can’t talk about the beach, since it was February and much too cold to swim!
