We rented this place for four adults and four kids for three nights during July 4th week. We were extremely happy and comfortable with this place and felt as if we were at home. The host was very adaptive, friendly and prompt in communication all the times. We found everything precisely as described in the listing including photos. We had a pleasant surprise from the host with a welcome kit and we loved it. We enjoyed the access to full Kitchen (Coffee Brewer, Refrigerator, Utilities, Cutlery, Dishwasher), Laundry, Wi-Fi, TVs. Kids had great time with play structures in the backyard. This place is in proximity to the beaches and eateries. We preferred to drive to Santa Monica Pier which is ~20min drive from this place. We had good options for dining on Lincoln Blvd, which is pretty close to this place. Overall, this was an amazing experience far superior than staying at any star hotel. I would highly recommend this place for families traveling with kids.
