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!

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.
