Lavender Beach House is a great place to stay. The location is terrific - near the canals and the good eating and shopping on Rose and Abbott Kinney, close enough to walk to Santa Monica. The house itself is well-maintained, pretty and has great amenities. It was clean and ready for our arrival. My young child loved having her own big bed to roll around in, and my husband and I were very comfortable in our room. The common areas were also really comfortable and it was great to have a kitchen to cook and prepare food in, so we didn't have to eat every meal out. Thanks!
