We all absolutely loved everything about the unit. It was amazing. If I ever come back to Venice, I would love to rent this unit again!
MAJOR on the LOCATION: great breakfast view as you literally can sit and eat your breakfast watching the waves hit the shore inside the house. Boardwalk was nice as it had LOTS of stores and everyone was kind. You’re literally steps from the beach. From the beach, you can see the Santa Monica Pier, which is only 30 mins walk or about 10-15 minutes’ drive on ‘good’ traffic. There were 5 ladies during the stay, and we had PLENTY of room; the unit is really spacious! There was plenty sitting areas throughout the unit. Going to CA during June was a gamble with the weather, you’re not guaranteed hot summer sun. It was nice to have a dryer (and washer) in the unit; this helped dry our towels as we hit the beach, daily. We could not air/hang dry the towels as it was not warm enough along with it rained overnight one of the night. There is actually a dressing room where they have a mirror/blow dryer/curl iron – like a changing/vanity room. This was a BONUS for us because we can get dressed there and not interrupt others in our room. Just wanted to make a note: Ladies, the lighting in the dining area is LIFE. Do your make up there with the natural lighting; your makeup will be flawless!!! - - YOU’RE WELCOME ;).
Only thing I would mention to those who are not familiar with the area is the parking. You are guaranteed a parking space; you’re not assigned a parking spot. Be prepared to give your key to the parking person in the event they double parked the cars (having a car parked behind another car).
