Our stay at Carol's cottage was unforgettable! The unit itself is just perfect- lots of charm and style. The stay includes laundry access (soap included!), and two complimentary vintage beach cruiser bikes! We has so much fun riding around Venice and all along the beach on these bikes (it's quite a relief not to drive in LA). Also had access to the boats to paddle around the picturesque canals. The common area was another great place to enjoy a cup of coffee or have a bbq. And the location just couldn't get any better!! Right on be canal which was so beautiful, and just minutes bike ride to Abbot Kinney, Venice Beach and all the local spots and hang outs in the neighborhood. A very relaxing and fun place to stay, we loved every minute of it.
