Very clean and a quality space located next to the beach and next to the town of Santa Monica. I liked the Tudor style of the property and the Victorian style of both bedroom suites and the included detached kitchen dining structure. This space does not have a living room.
The onsite parking is a plus and the host is quick to communicative when needed. We found a card and champagne waiting for us when we checked in.
Be careful of driving as the road in front of the house is a main highway. Pulling into the property takes some patience as does leaving the property due to the speed of the cars passing by.
A few issues for us had to do with 6 am morning sounds reverberating through the upstairs floors as a child or children’s ran up and down their house and the dogs, more than one, that liked to bark when their masters were up and going. This was not a huge deal and the noises only lasted a few minutes each morning, but none the less it was early each day. The highway noise is noticeable, but once you close the double doors for each bedroom the car noises sink into the background.
Lastly, while the property is beach front, the rental space is not. As noted by others the beach is accessed by walking out the front door and going around the building next door. You will not have access to the rear yard and gate of the property as can been seen in other online photos. Having said that, it is easy a cake to walk to the beach and when you do the beach is phenomenal and includes a very wide and long walkway parallel to the ocean good for walking, jogging, cycling, skating…
We chose this rental space as the price is very reasonable relative to other Airbnb’s in the area and equivalent hotels considering a 2 room per night hotel stay.
