There is a reason that this home only has wonderful reviews. I had high hopes of bringing my family to a small piece of paradise on the west coast. I have a love for the Venice Beach vibe and was really hoping my personal experience would translate for my entire family. We are a family of 6 with kids 14-20. Pulling up to the cutest little house a stone's throw from the ocean, surrounded with greenery and beautiful flowers draping over the front gate was idyllic. The backyard is a teenager's Instagram haven. The inside has a spacious, light, airy beachy feel that instantly makes you want to live there forever. Michelle & Mark have paid exceptional attention to detail. Everything is clean and beautiful and high design. But...not so high design that you are scared to touch anything. Michelle & Mark are excellent communicators and were extremely prompt in replying if we needed anything. They were also gracious hosts reaching out to make sure all was well and accomodating an early check-in. There are lots of towels and shampoo and conditioner. There were little comforts like body lotion for our extremely burned tourist skin and coffee pods for the morning. This little home is close to everything and beautifully situated at the beginning of the boardwalk and where the bike rental location is so you can spend the day riding up the coast and be back at the end of the day with a short walk to home. I would highly, highly recommend this home. You will not regret it. You will walk away with amazing new memories.
