About 1 mile from anything you want to visit in Venice. BRING EVERYTHING YOU WILL NEED. Salt, Coffee Filters, Beach Towels, Beach Chairs, Beach Umbrella, condiments, oil to cook, wine glasses, etc.
The house is very bare and doesn't have much in it outside of a bed and a few run down towels. Do not rely on "the house will probably have it" because it doesn't.
Neighborhood is safe and love that there is off-street parking.
We enjoyed the beach and close to really anything you want to do in LA.
