Fab stay, Dayle was so helpful and knowledgeable of the area. The location was fantastic, just a stones throw from the beach. The amenities with the accomodation was great, having beach buggy, body boards, chairs etc was a god send. There was everything you needed in the property for an enjoyable stay. It was snug with 5 of us - but we would definitely return. Thank you

Gem of a place, great location

A cozy getaway just a block from the beach and close to good coffee and food options. The carriage house was a great spot for the 2 of us and Dayle was an excellent host. A very positive experience all around!

Lovely home

Great house for a family of four with all the necessary accommodations. Comfortable bed and fully equipped kitchen. Really cute decor and a nice patio and one block from the beach. I would give 5 stars for location but due to the rising homelessness and drug use, it was a disappointing factor. Not Dayles fault but a sad reality Still a great spot to stay!

Charming Cottage in a Perfect Location

We recently stayed at this cozy cottage in Santa Monica and had a wonderful experience. The location is unbeatable—just minutes from the beach and Santa Monica Pier. It’s a fantastic home base for exploring everything the area has to offer.While the space is a bit tight for a family of four, it’s well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. If you’re looking for a charming spot in an ideal location, this cottage is a great choice. We’d happily stay here again!
