Thank you so much for a great experience. We absolutely loved staying at this cute beach cottage. The cottage was exactly as described. Fabulous location 1 block from the beach and on the Venice canals. The use of the bikes was a real bonus (beautiful, easy ride to Santa Monica) and we certainly appreciated the free parking spot. The kids loved taking the canoe out on the canals...such a great way to explore the neighbourhood (who knew these gorgeous canals existed in LA??). Lots of great places to eat, all within walking distance. I would highly recommend a stay at Carol's beach cottage. Thanks again :)
