This stunning glass house absolutely made my stay in Venice! Kevin and Susan have thoughtfully outfitted this unique retreat to the last detail. From the chic black-and-white painted floors, to the abundance of salvaged architectural elements ( antique corbels, pilasters, old doors, windows, shutters, vintage lighting etc) to the elegant French country decor, this cottage belongs in the pages of a magazine!! I was not surprised to learn that the homeowner is an interior designer. I could not get enough of the charm here- one of the most inspiring bungalows I've seen anywhere in the world. It's the ideal getaway for writers and artists, in addition to guests in town on business or pleasure.

The location is safe (on one of the nicest streets in a great neighborhood) and walkable to everywhere you want to be in Venice. Guests enjoy their own private entrance via a side gate and street parking is not a problem. This charming, well-appointed cottage is equipped with everything you need for cooking and living. Everything works from the appliances and disposal, to the internet and flatscreen tv. Plus, the garden and patio area is full of herbs and beautiful native flowers- making it is a the ideal spot for dinner or breakfast alfresco.

And- I can not finish this review without punctuating the amazing outdoor shower with wild roses and creeping fig vines!! It is unforgettable- something you have to experience for yourself!

Kevin and Susan were the perfect hosts and I hope to keep in touch with these cool, creative souls. They were easy to contact and very flexible- the perfect hosts! I'll be back- in fact, I can't wait. I have spent a lot of time in Los Angeles, Venice, Malibu, and Santa Monica, but nothing has beat this light-filled, breezy, open-air abode. This cottage is stand-out and memorable. Don't miss this gem- I guarantee you will LOVE it here!
