If you’re lucky enough to book this gem in Santa Monica, a block and a hint from the beach, a nice walk to the famous Santa Monica Pier....you’re in for a treat. This cottage was built in the 20’s but has all the modern amenities, and is tastefully decorated. I was astounded at how quiet the area is, given it’s proximity to the beach. One block up is Main Street with all it’s quirky and quaint shops and eateries. If you’re staying on the weekend, Sunday’s farmer’s market is right there on Main. Take the beach walk and you really can walk to Venice beach. I parked my car for 4 days and walked everywhere. Now having said all this, I hope I can get a reservation for myself next time!
