This lovely home provided a wonderful back-drop for our family gathering celebrating a milestone in one of our son's lives. There were 8 adults staying here for part of our trip, and we were never crowded. We also had a number of additional friends stop by on the weekend and were able to enjoy the interior spaces and the spa all afternoon. There are lemon and orange trees and a garden surrounding the front and side entry of the house, and the pool/spa/studio patio areas are beautiful. It is very relaxing, quiet and private. The house itself is lovely but not new, so kitchen is adequate and bathrooms are small in comparison to newer homes. Our host, Dan, was extremely responsive from our initial inquiry throughout the trip and we actually had the pleasure of meeting him and a friend, who ended up attending the event (a concert) that was the reason for our trip. If you are looking for a lovely home within easy walk or drive to the beach, Venice canals, Santa Monica highlights, PCH, Getty Villa, farmers markets and other area attractions, this is the place!
