This private guest house was built around 1925. Walk past the driveway garden to the raspberry door. Enter. These are some of the highlights - 3 bar chairs were revamped for this space with gold paint and blue mohair. Antique writing desk and end tables. Hardwood floors, granite, and stainless steel in the kitchen (stove, oven, fridge, microwave) Old old-fashioned style heater, a claw foot tub with shower, plush blanket make this space an old-school beauty with contemporary comfort. A washer and dryer are available in the adjacent basement for your convenience.
Your patio is private. The guesthouse is yours. The entryway is shared as is the garden in the driveway.
High walkability! The location is exceptional - 1 block from trendy Main Street shops & dining, a 20-minute stroll to Santa Monica pier to the north & funky Venice south, and less than a mile from Santa Monica Riviera hotels & in the heart of Silicon Beach. Visit one of the fragrant fresh farmer’s markets or bring your fav book to read while you sit on the sandy seaside. Use one of the beach chairs provided.
On-street parking is almost always easily available. Permits are free of charge and must be arranged in advance.
It's likely my availability will be minimal, so it is best to dialogue before you arrive. I am available by phone almost always and am offline from Friday afternoon to Saturday night weekly and not available by phone or email then. ( emergency phone numbers are listed in the information book in the unlikely event they are needed.)
If you like to walk and have time, there is ample opportunity. Uber and Lyft typically arrive quickly and can provide transportation, and bus stops are a block away. The expo line, a five-minute drive or 20-minute walk, can whisk you across town in about 45 minutes. If you have a car, street parking is almost always available with a permit.
The beach bungalow is surrounded by an organic vegetable garden and lush plants. You will likely see birds and squirrels during your stay and occasionally a raccoon or even a possum.
The neighborhood is magic. It is a wonderful place to explore and relax after a day of work. 22-mile-long bike path on the beach, nearby adventures you can walk to, and spending time with the peaceful Pacific is a joy. 420 friendly.
All guests are required to provide a copy of their US driver's license or passport before checking in.

Our host was very friendly and helpful during our stay. She was able to recommend dining options and provided a very nice complimentary food basket. The rental was nicely decorated, clean and was perfect for our stay. Shopping and dining within walking distance, as was the beach. Quiet neighborhood.
Wonderful property and wonderful host! So close to the beach and easy walking distance. The host was even so kind as to leave figs for us that they grew from the garden on site! I highly recommend this lovely beach escape! Five stars all the way and would love to stay again! Soon!
My friend and I were visiting my son for a long weekend. It was the perfect place to access the beach, wonderful restaurants and shops. The property was charming, well kept and exactly what we were looking for! The property owner was extremely nice and available when needed. The location was unbelievable! We had a great trip!
Rental was charming, clean, and well stocked with what we needed for our stay. Only a minute’s walk to the beach but still pretty quiet. We slept so well. The beds were quite comfortable. We will definitely return if we visit Santa Monica in the future.
Adorable and comfortable. T’mimah is a fantastic host. You are just steps from beach one way and Santa Monica restaurants the other. Convenient to Venice Beach as well. We would love to stay here again.
We had such a wonderful stay. The place was cute and really nicely furnished, and very cozy during the rain LA was having. The location is fantastic and very laid back neighborhood. The host was wonderful and checked in regularly. I highly recommend this stay!
The location of the charming bungalow was perfect, and the owner was very nice. Because I am 65+, it would have been nice to have a comfortable arm chair for reading rather than the desk.
Stating in this VRBO, we walked every day to the beach, restaurants, Santa Monica Pier, and more.
The property location is perfect and a very short walk to the beach. We did not need (nor want) a car our entire stay.
My girlfriend and I stayed here for some much needed rest after a weekend in Disneyland and I cannot express enough between the quaintness and beauty of the property and the ease of access to the beach and local food we got the rest we needed and much more. Our host was so incredibly kind and accommodating. I will recommend this VRBO stay to all of my friends and family!
The location was spectacular. It was so nice to be able to walk to shops and the beach. Not having to get into your car is a dream in LA. Our host was great. Thanks for such a wonderful stay.
Perfect little place for our family. We were out enjoying site seeing all day. This was a perfect location to settle in and rest at night. Quiet, clean and comfortable. Great communication from the host.
My boys and I felt right at home in this property. It was the perfect location for our trip to visit Universal Studios and Disneyland. The owner was very caring and it shows in the quality of her property. I hope to return someday.
Location, Location, Location. Perfect place to stay in Santa Monica. Walking distance to everything you need and want to see. The bungalow is perfect, comfortable and has everything you need for your stay. T'mimah is awesome. Very attentive and responsive.
