We LOVED our stay at this gorgeous home, and wish it belonged to us as our CA vacation home! It was the perfect spot for my kids and me to stay during the week of my wedding on June 15th! The location is unsurpassed, and we had SO much space to spread out in a comfortable setting - which is very important when traveling with 2 teens and a tween! Since the house is on a side (walking) street, it was very quiet, despite being right in the middle of all the hot spots in Santa Monica. And since it is gated, we felt very secure. I'm SO glad we chose to stay here rather than at one of the surrounding (and very expensive) resort hotels! We would have paid double or more to have 2-3 rooms, and would have been on top of each other. It gave us the peace and calm that we needed during an incredibly busy and otherwise stressful week! Tom is a wonderful host and was very patient with us during a chaotic time!
