We stayed for 2 nights in the Burnham Beach cottages – it’s a great location just one block away from the beach and pier so you are near the beach but away from the traffic. Wendy is a great host with lots of information about the area including activities and restaurants. The cottages themselves are compact but beautifully decorated with a beach theme and well equipped. We made use of Wendy’s bikes to cycle to Venice beach and back – well worth the long ride. There were also beach towels and boogie boards available and a great communal garden. Wendy also offers massage services and is close to finishing a yoga / dance studio. We would stay here again if we came back to LA.
