Vicky's place is gorgeously decorated with lovely shades of turquoise down to the towels and hangers. There was plenty of room for our family of five, and as described, it is just a short block from the beach. Vicky even provided soap and toothpaste, and the in-unit brand new laundry machines helped us out immensely. The unit is beautiful and calm and definitely gives a total-beach vacation vibe. Vicky also provides beach chairs, abundant towels, scooters, and there is an outdoor shower which really comes in handy. This is a quiet part of Venice, though a quick walk to to the boardwalk and the cafes. All of Venice, however, is very congested building-wise so you might hear some noise from your neighbors while there. If you want total seclusion, go to the Maldives ;)
FYI There is a small dog living downstairs and he sometimes comes up to say hello. One more tip, if you get the (Los Angeles ubiquitous) beach tar on your feet, a quick swipe of baby oil will take it off before you get back in the condo. This is a great option if you want to be near the beach and still within walking distance of the bars of Venice. Don't miss a walk through the gorgeous canals, just a few blocks away.
