I’ll echo what other have said - it’s great being on the beach, bit you’re not close to the water, and there isn’t a boardwalk up to Venice beach walking area, you either walk on the sand or take a street behind the beach. But the unit itself is awesome, huge. All the bedrooms have ensuites and there’s a pool table. Our kids loved it! Great place if you have a large family or a few people staying together. The rental manager was great at responding quickly to all questions, check in super easy.
