Although we sort of want to keep this gem all to ourself, I would recommend Erik's beautiful condo to any family wishing to stay in the area. My family loved our stay at this newly renovated space which was exceptionally clean, had a cool beach vibe, beautiful views of Los Angeles, and mere steps away from restaurants, parks, and ,of course, the marina. There are also free shuttles and water taxis that provide fun ways to explore both Marina del Rey and Venice Beach. The complex itself is meticulously maintained and we found the neighbors to be very friendly and welcoming. The kids (ages 11 and 13) enjoyed swimming in the family pool everyday and there was even a small dog park on site for our four legged companion. Erik's hospitality and attention to detail was beyond reproach. We were pleasantly surprised to find a stocked pantry and storage closets filled with just about anything we could have possibly forgotten to pack! His chill vibe made us feel instantly welcomed and he remained easy to reach during our entire stay. In the simplest terms: Gracious host, beautiful home, wonderful time.
