Excellent property and host, well described. Very clean, comfortable and well-equipped. Although all required permits are provided, street parking availability varies with time of day and beach lot parking, while reasonably convenient, was commonly gated and locked. Apparently there is a code to open the lock, but we did not learn of that until the end of our stay which caused some inconvenience.

What a great place!
We’re so happy with our stay here. The owner of the house is so friendly and made us feel so at home. Allowed us to use anything lying around including beach toys, bikes, surfboards, the lot! Brilliant location absolutely second to none and a nice and quiet neighbourhood. All in all, a very comfortable stay.

Fantastic stay!
This space was perfect for our family of 4 with two young kids for a short 2 night stay. Owner was friendly and communication was easy when we had a question. Location to beach and pier could not be beat! Quick walk to the beach was awesome with young kids in tow. We used the sand toys and beach towels offered to us by the owners. Both bed in bedroom and trundle bed were comfortable. We would definitely stay again.

Upon entering the property you are walloped in the face with the fragrance from the immaculately manicured garden and flowers. The property itself is a beautifully kept property above the garage so no worries about disturbing any one below you. The house was clean but does show its age in places. The house is located a stones throw from the beautiful beach, less than a 10 minute walk from the pier and a short drive from a couple of different grocery stores. In addition it offers really easy access to the highway. The host was perfect. Easy communication and didn’t bother us at all during our relaxing stay. The only downside to this property, while secure and safe does back on to an ally where we witnessed a couple of suspicious activities taking place. It also lacks substantial AC for those hotter days. The AC in the bedroom was a lifesaver but having it throughout the home would make it perfect. The only other down side of this beautiful property is the staircase leading to the house is rather narrow which did result in our 2 year old falling and sadly losing a tooth. Otherwise the home is beautiful, perfect location, safe and exactly what we would have hoped for!

Such a wonderful stay
I couldn’t ask for more! A wonderful apartment in a fantastic part of Santa Monica. So open, sunny and thoughtful towards guests. We actually hung out in the bedroom often. The greenery that has been grown to cover a big wall makes all the difference in a view. The room had a nice cross breeze and the natural light is gorgeous. Our pup was comfortable and the bonus was there was no one above or below us. This is a very walkable area with a straight shot down the block to the beach. I would stay here again and I highly recommended it to anyone looking for a low-key, cozy atmosphere. Oh! and Capo is literally next door! Thank you for a lovely stay!

Inviting second-story bungalow steps from the beach
It was a pleasure to stay at such a well maintained and well considered property. Unfortunately our host was not home during our stay. But fortunately, she left us in very good hands. A special thank you Ingelise for letting us back in our home when we locked ourselves out. Santa Monica Beach is an amazing attraction and this property is a welcome oasis.

Quaint Apartment a Block from the Beach
I stayed at Elizabeth’s upstairs apartment with my husband and 5yo twins. Street parking was always available and the beach/pier was a short walk. We cooked in the kitchen and did laundry in the space provided. We used the beach toys, beach mats and umbrella. We opted to rent bikes as we wanted tandem bikes for our children which was an easy walk from the apartment, but beach bikes and helmets were available. Our kids had fun at the Tongva Park which is also a short walk away. Thank you Elizabeth!!

The Beach House was a great stay for us in Santa Monica. A fully equipped kitchen is perfect for short stays. Property was clean, private, and within 500m of the famous Santa Monica beach. Property owner was completely accessible but did not infringe. Would definitely recommend and may use again!

My husband and I did a long weekend trip in this great cottage. The host was so friendly and questions were answered promptly. The house was very clean and in a great spot in Santa Monica. It is one block to the beach and near many restaurants and stores within walking distance. Looking forward to staying there again. Great house!

This house boasts an amazing location, just a stone’s throw from the beach and a quick 5-minute stroll to the pier. The two parking spots were a great plus, and the friendly house owner made our week there even more enjoyable. Thanks a lot!

A fun 2nd story beach cottage
We liked everything about this apartment except that there was no full sized fridge, only a bar fridge. This was an inconvenience for us as we like to cook dinner a lot. The owner lives on the property and she is lovely: helpful; friendly; enthusiastic; and knowledgeable about the area. It is walking distance to the beach.
