The Heart House is a charming, cozy older house for 2 – 4 people. While the house is on a busy street, it is completely hidden behind a lovely wooden fence, and it feels completely safe. There is a nice front yard that includes a hot tub, a picnic table, a rocking chair, a couple of love seats, and a free-swinging chair. In addition, there is another outdoor room with a couch and ping pong table. The inside has lovely tile floors and a gas fireplace. While the kitchen is small and one of the bathrooms needs updating, we spent 5 weeks here and found it quite comfortable. There are 4 - 5 excellent restaurants within walking distance for takeout, even during the pandemic. Best of all, Heart House is just a few minutes’ walk from a beautiful sandy, clean beach that stretches for miles and includes a 26-mile paved bike/walking path along the California coast. The sunsets are amazing. It’s a short drive to downtown Santa Monica and Pacific Palisades and to hiking trails.
