This is a good place to stay if you want to be close to the beach and won’t be on the premises for very long each day. The dogs are so sweet but they’re dirty and there’s poop everywhere. The common areas (bathroom and kitchen) are also pretty dirty and the fridge is filled with food from travelers from seemingly the past decade. If you want to go to sleep on the early side, know that the fire pit is right outside the tiki hut and you may have to bring earplugs and seem like a curmudgeon if they decide to have a fire. Buddy is very nice, and the place is super eclectic and old-school Venice. At $55-65 a night, it’s a good value though if you don’t have issues with any of the above!
