Place is well equipped and nicely decorated. Great location for the beach and walk/bike path- we walked the 3 miles to Venice one day and quite a ways the other direction as well which was great. Communication from the host was top notch!
We do feel there are a few things that are worth highlight for others.
1) At least one reviewer called it out but the home is on PCH which was incredibly busy day and night. Very loud and difficult to turn into the parking area at times.
2) The layout is unusual, consisting of two en-suite bedrooms and a detached kitchen. There is no shared living room space, only the outdoor courtyard. That is NOT misrepresented in the listing but we didn’t totally understand it.
3) You are staying in a small part of a much larger home- there were people in the home at various times with lights on and looking out windows that made the area feel not private. There was a fundraiser in the home the night we arrived which we would have appreciated being notified of in advance as we thought that might be how things were every day.
4) While the home is “on the beach” this unit is not- there is no view of the beach from the courtyard other than a sliver through a locked gate. Again it was a very short walk to the beach but be aware the unit does not have direct beach access.
Overall for our personal situation where we were working from the unit during the day and like to enjoy private outdoor space in the evenings we would have stayed up the hill and walked down to the beach when we wanted to access it. Being on the highway and not having direct sightline/ access to the beach were things we didn’t expect when we booked our stay.
