We absolutely loved this beautiful Cali-style guesthouse! It had everything you could need for a stay with family in Santa Monica. Very close to the beach - walkable - but a perfect enough distance for a quiet evening to relax. The decor was GORGEOUS inside and out. We felt like we were living in an Instagram! White picket fence surrounded the home and its garden filled with flowers and succulents.
The house does not have A/C which is not a problem with the ocean breeze coming through the windows at night, which was a lovely, cool treat for this Texas family. However, there are no screens on all the windows which caused me to worry about the safety of my sleeping family if we left the windows open all night -- so you do need to consider whether you're comfortable with wide-open, unlocked windows to keep cool at night or if you would rather shut them all and be a bit stuffy and warm without A/C.
