This stay was brilliant, made even easier by Dawn's friendly welcome and easy to follow printed instructions for how everything worked, from the hot tub to air con etc. The kitchen was gorgeous and a pleasure to cook in, every utensil you could need. The outdoor grill was fantastic too. Over all the photos don't do the place justice. Lots of space and light and well designed and furnished. The back yard is huge, perfect for lounging in the shade or sun, watching all the humming birds, squirrels and butterflies that like to visit. The tomatoes from the garden were the best I have tasted in a long time. Sitting out at the table at night with good food, wine and family was a pleasure. The bikes were great for getting around Venice and Santa Monica, not that you need them as the beach is a 10 min walk and Abbot Kinney (shopping and restaurants) a 5 min walk. Body boards too! We had a great time here. Perfect for a family with lots to keep everybody with different likes entertained nearby. Thanks to Dawn for being so lovely and making sure everything ran smoothly. Highly recommended.
