Natalie was a great communicator and a wonderful host! She welcomed us on arrival and ensured we knew everything about parking, getting inside and where to find basically everything you could possibly need during a stay. The guest house is lovely, comfortable and well equipped - even a raincoat and umbrella. The location is great for exploring Santa Monica, up the coast, the Getty, UCLA.... Lots of nearby dining options too. I definitely recommend staying here!

The location was fantastic. Beautiful morning walks to Ocean Avenue and an easy stroll to Montana Avenue for shops and restaurants. Loved sitting on the deck in the evening in what felt like our secret garden. Natalie is an excellent host and the "cottage by the sea" could not have been cleaner or more comfortable!

Great weekend trip

We came to visit my dad who lives in LA but decided to stay in Santa Monica to be near the beach. Natalie (the owner) is wonderful and the location can’t be beat. We travelled with our adult son and although it’s a pretty small place, it was a perfect little get away location that had enough room for all of us. We will be back!

Cozy stay in a beautiful neighborhood inland from the beach.

We enjoyed walking the beautiful neighborhood to great restaurants on Montana street. We drove to the Santa Monica beach area and walked along the Palisades park and down to the beach. We had a delightful two days in Santa Monica. Thanks

The host was absolutely amazing!! The host always checked in to see if we needed anything. The location is amazing, walking distance to the steps into Santa Monica Canyon, a beautiful neighborhood, the beach, the ocean cliff park and to Montana stores and restaurants. The bed was amazingly comfortable and I slept better there than at home. There is no street noise from San Vicente in case you are worried, it was soundproofed. We would definitely go back again.

Perfect location and quiet stay

The rental was 30 minutes from almost all of our planned excursions, and very close to the Santa Monica Pier and Montana Avenue eateries. Natalie greeted me and my 11 year old child on arrival, settling us in to the very clean and quiet guest house. We used both the king bed and the twin pullout couch bed, and both were comfortable and cozy. I highly recommend making this your LA home base.

The property is in a beautiful residential area within walking distance of the beach and shopping area. It’s a very comfortable room with microwave, coffeemaker and fridge. You have your own private deck. Natalie was a caring, gracious host, but we had total privacy. Definitely recommend this place.

My partner and I were visiting relatives for two days and nights, eating meals out, so we were looking for the simplest lodging. Just a safe comfortable bed and shower. This house was that. The hosts were extremely kind. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

Beautiful home, Incredible location

Natalie's home was such a wonderful find. The home itself is spotless, beautiful and very comfortable. She added all sorts of extra touches that made our stay extra special. Natalie was a very helpful host providing us with local restaurant recommendations and walking routes. Couldn't be happier with our stay. The outdoor garden was an amazing feature!
