The pictures do not do this home justice! It is literal steps to the beach and boardwalk. Also, the house is so well done and so clean. You can tell a lot of thought was put into it. The steam shower is to die for and the tub is beautiful! There is plenty of room for a family of four, even though there are only two bedrooms. My 17 year old slept in the other bedroom, and even though it had another twin bed in there, my 14 year old son did not want to stay in the same room as his sister so opted to sleep on the pullout in the living room. This worked out perfectly!! My husband and I also felt like we had privacy with the large master and the master bath. We were in Venice for the Fourth of July, and as we all know, it could get crazy there at times. My family felt very safe and secure in this home. Not only does it have a security system, but everything is locked and gated. I would definitely return to Elizabeth’s beautiful Venice Beach home again!
