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.

Family trip to LA
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!

Great place
The beach house had everything we needed. We were a family with 2 children under 10 and we didn’t need a car for anything. We used Uber to get there and were able to walk to everywhere during the 3 day stay. The beach was super close, a liquor store around the corner had the basics like milk, cereal, snacks, and personal items. There was a farmers market a 2 min. Walk away and multiple restaurants. We walked to the pier and it was all very convenient. We would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Perfect SoCal Home Base for small family
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.

My daughter and I had a wonderful experience staying at this beach bungalow. The accommodations were excellent for the two of us (she took the bed and I took the daybed). The gas burning space heater was more than sufficient for the chilly nights we were there. We really liked the decor and style of the place and it is literally one block to walk to the beach. The host was absolutely incredible and very friendly. She took care of everything we needed, including the parking pass for the street. We would definitely stay here again!

Lovely stay
Great place and host was very gracious. We struggled with the whole “must provide drivers license” issue as we are victims of identity theft. In the end it all worked out. We enjoyed our stay and everything was as advertised.

Sadly did not work for us
The place was very clean but had a strong smell of must/mold. Also there was no internet signal and our cell phones did not get service inside the home. We had to go outside and down the driveway to get cell service.

Charming and fantastic location
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.
