If you want to be close to the beach but off the boardwalk, then this is an ideal location. You are steps away from the public pickle ball courts. The atmosphere on Venice boardwalk lives up to its' legacy and one has to expect the whole spectrum of humanity. On the flip side, Abbot-Kinney Street is dotted with lovely restaurants and one- of- a- kind boutiques. We also found this to be true on Rose Street. So in short, you have a variety of experiences. Best of all, is the home's covered deck surrounded by trees which is a lovely atmosphere for relaxing!
