My stay at Donald's place was definitely as described- heaven at the beach. The location was perfect; only a few minutes from the super -cool Abbott Kinney street, and literally a few steps from the Venice boardwalk. The noise from the boardwalk was never an issue, you would never imagine you were around the corner from such a lively beach area. The accommodations were perfect for 3 people, and we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Donald was very accommodating and friendly, as well as that he obviously takes pride in his property. The best part of all was definitely the ocean-deck!! Will absolutely recommend this stay to anyone :)
