This place is a dream! Playa del Rey is wonderful because it’s more relaxed and less busy, but still very close to anywhere you might want to go (Santa Monica, Venice, Manhattan Beach). Nina is a wonderful host — very communicative and responsive. There are so many things to love, but we especially enjoyed the phenomenal view of the ocean, the bifold doors out to the big deck (equipped with grill, dining table, lounge chairs and outdoor shower), indoor/outdoor living, and quick access to the beach path. You can easily cruise along the path to Marina del Rey / Venice or Dockweiler Beach. You can walk to Playa del Rey Lagoon Park (there’s a playground there) and to some great restaurants including Playa Provisions and Bacari PDR. The location is fantastic and the place itself is beautiful, modern, thoughtfully appointed, and comfortable. I had been a bit concerned about being close to the airport, but you don’t get any significant noise at this location. In fact, our little one loved watching the planes high in the sky. The whole experience was wonderful and peaceful and we’d definitely stay here again.
