Book a stay in one of the best homes in [destination]

We fell in love with this home based on the location alone, even before crossing the threshold. Just a stone's throw from the beach, you can easily jump in the ocean before breakfast. You're conveniently located just one block from Main St, where you'll find indie boutiques, charming cafes and Michelin-recognised restaurants. The home itself is equally breathtaking – we adore the double-height living space with a sea view. It's exceptionally stylish, brimming with character. The amount of art hanging on the walls would put some galleries to shame. It's definitely a home that makes you want to know its owners – a truly unique place to stay and one that's ready for its Instagram close-up.

The Art Oceanfront

Just a short stroll from Venice Beach, this light-flooded LA home is a modernist's dream. Stripped back wooden floors and ceilings, a California sky colour palette, and floor-to-ceiling windows may have you fooled that you're actually outside. And that's what this home does so wonderfully, it marries its ample inside space with its smaller outdoor area, blurring the lines between the two. The prime is example is obvious for all to see – the pool and hot tub are half inside the living room. Slide open the glass doors and you can pad from your sofa to the water and back in a few steps. And if you tire of the pretty barbecue area and fire pit on the ground floor, you can swap it for the expansive roof terrace, with an outdoor kitchen, huge sofa and incredible views across the rooftops and swaying palm trees. The living space is cool and minimalist, with a gas fire, sleek kitchen and plenty of space for a good size group at the dining table, while upstairs it's the master suite that's the star of the show – with its own fireplace and large bathroom. Here you're just steps away from the beach in one direction and the canals in the other, and there are all sorts of dining options within walking distance.



Sea & Sky

If houses could talk, this home would definitely have a tale or two to share. Built in 1915, it was a swinging speakeasy during Prohibition times; it housed lions, giant tortoises and great apes in the ‘50s and it has since been home to an assortment of writers, directors and producers. While the neighbourhood kids aren’t riding around on lions’ backs in the garden anymore, you still get some wildlife action with the birdhouse in the backyard. Inside the home, you’ll find a bright, elegant living room featuring French country decor – the plump sofas and elegant dining table are perfect for hosting sophisticated soirees. After waking up in the cosy bedroom, head out to explore the nearby sights including Santa Monica Pier and Venice, or drive twenty minutes inland to experience the buzz of Beverly Hills. After a day of hiking or soaking up the sea air, come back home for drinks in the courtyard before heading out to enjoy Venice’s vibrant food scene. 


The Birdhouse

Thanks to its huge windows and modern design, this Venice Beach home is truly stunning at all hours of the day, from dawn until after dark. Make your morning coffee and pad up to the terrace, where you can look across the cityscape and ponder the day ahead as the sun comes up. You'll love picking your favourite spot to relax, from the freestanding bathtub in the master suite, to the reading corner surrounded by bookshelves. The indoor-outdoor pool is a particular highlight, ideal for cooling off after basking under the hot Californian sun. Afternoons can be spent on the sands at Venice Beach, just a couple of minutes walk away, or exploring the rest of LA from this prime location in the west of the city. As the sun sets, pour a nightcap and huddle around the fire pit to share stories about your day, and make plans for those to come. 

Champagne & Oysters

This home soaks up its bohemian beach vibe from its iconic surroundings – the heart of Venice. You’ll be just three minutes away from the boutiques and mouthwatering restaurants of Abbot Kinney Boulevard, while the beach and famed boardwalk are just thirteen minutes from home. Whether you want to dress up for dinner or don flip flops all day long, you couldn’t be better placed. Back at home, you’ll find a charming space with lots of personal touches. We love the wooden cabinets in the kitchen, the boho back patio decoration and the throw pillows that brighten up every room. Fix breakfast in the kitchen and enjoy it on the patio under the shade of the trees before setting out for the day. When you return home, you’ll feel at ease on the plush sofa, while the bedrooms are especially inviting for a night of restorative rest. Plus, your host provides bicycles, which adds even more adventure to your stay. 

Republic of Dreams

Fancy staying on the canals? This home is a stroll from Venice Beach, putting restaurants and cafes on your doorstep. Here you'll find a Mediterranean-inspired dining area and a relaxing roof terrace with a bird's eye view over the waterways. Extra treats are easy to arrange, from private chefs to in-villa massages. Up a spiral staircase, the bedrooms' sleek en-suites, private balconies, and walk-in wardrobes make getting ready part of the fun. Beverly Hills and the Santa Monica Pier are also a short drive away.

Soul of Venice 

This warm and inviting home is a clean and unfussy space perfect for anyone dreaming of unwinding in peace in the hot Californian sun. The roomy patio has a choice of seating options, and we loved the array of potted plants, bringing a welcoming, relaxed feeling that totally fits the setting. The local park is just down the road and is any sport or activity lover's dream, complete with tennis and basketball courts and a baseball field. Unlike other LA neighbourhoods, this one is very walkable, and you can be at Lincoln Boulevard in twelve minutes on foot or six minutes by bike. While many visitors' first thought is a beachfront location, this home is a much better bet for those looking to travel further afield. You can easily explore the rest of LA without getting snarled up in Venice's infamous traffic, and you're still less than two miles to the beach. Meanwhile, those looking for delicious food and independent boutiques will be pleased to learn that Abbott Kinney Boulevard and Rose Ave are even closer. 

Pocket Sunshine

This is one super cool coastal pad. We love the stylish and laid-back design of this home that its surfer owners have lovingly crafted. Your hosts' personality really comes through elements such as the wall-mounted clock collection, the reclaimed wood wardrobe doors and the self-build spirit on show in the jungle garden. Here, they've repurposed corrugated steel panels to divide the space, built homemade garden furniture and even managed to fit in an artist studio caravan. There's even a fire pit for cosy evenings. The standout feature has got to be its proximity to gorgeous Venice Beach, an easy fifteen-minute amble away. Surf's up, so what are you waiting for!



Time To Surf

This fabulously soulful studio apartment won us over the minute we crossed the threshold. It feels fresh and modern inside, packed with character, and has a delightful jungle garden. We love the reclaimed wood sliding doors that separate the calming bedroom from the rest of the living space. The creative, self-build spirit of the doors continues in the shared outdoor space, with its use of corrugated steel panels to divide the area, homemade garden furniture and even an artist studio caravan. Exploring the neighbourhood on foot couldn't be easier – it's a mere fifteen-minute amble to the beach and even closer to Abbott Kinney Boulevard, with all its hip shops and eateries, while there are bikes for you to explore further. So, while it's true that Venice is undergoing a bit of a transformation, your hosts are striving to keep Venice weird!

Plank Den

Close to Santa Monica airport and just five minutes from the beach, this LA home offers a lot more than meets the eye. A comfortable, detached single-storey house with a separate music studio, all sorts of musicians have stayed and worked here over the years. Created by one of the founders of Trotsky Icepick in the mid-80s, it's been used by major record labels and well-known sound engineers and recently hosted Australia's top electronic music group, Rüfüs du Sol. 

That aside, the home has been freshly remodelled, with a bright, sociable living space, relaxing bedrooms and sleek, modern bathrooms. There's a well kitted-out kitchen for meals at home, and you'll be within an easy drive of numerous excellent dining options. 

The outdoor space is another of this home's little surprises. With a pretty yard, fruit trees and a covered outdoor lounge area, there's plenty of room for your group to spread out. The heated saltwater pool is a new addition and comes with an infinity Jacuzzi, a deep end for diving and shallow shelves for sunbathing. 

Just across the road from a park and a golf course, this is a quiet neighbourhood, and your host has curated self-guided bike tours for keen cyclists – including Venice and Santa Monica beaches and the Venice canals, all of which are within twenty minutes on two wheels. Besides Venice Beach and Santa Monica Pier, other must-see attractions nearby include Marina Del Rey, The Getty, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Hollywood, Universal City, and The Grove. Downtown is also only 20 minutes away and many of the best restaurants are right nearby on the Westside, from hole-in-the-wall gems to Michelin-Star establishments. 

The Art Of Sound

This Venice home is an absolute delight. The proportions and layout are lovely, it's flooded with natural light, has great eco-credentials and it has a private and peaceful outdoor space. Stylishly decorated with a mid-century modern feel, and just a five-minute drive away from the beach, this place is pretty easy to love. Its recent redesign has made it sustainable – there's solar power and an osmosis water filtration system – and created a guesthouse we'd be thrilled to call home for a while. Sit in front of the gas flame fireplace, rustle up a meal in the kitchen (it's a bit retro but we love it) and sit out under the stars in your pretty garden – the soothing sound of the water feature will soon have you ready for bed. Just a short drive or a thirty-minute walk from the beach, you'll probably be heading down there most days. Santa Monica is very close by and it's just a twenty-five-minute drive from Hollywood. You'll also be able to stroll to some of the best bars and restaurants in LA on Abbot Kinney Boulevard and Rose Avenue. 

Modernist Calm

Just a short walk from Venice's charming canals, this home is a fabulous open-plan pad, brimming with character and ideal for a romantic retreat or a solo sojourn. It's been decorated with flair – we especially love the art cluster wall and book collection. At the same time, the private patio is a lovely spot to peruse through those art books. Located in the garden of the owner's main house, you have your own private entrance to come and go as you please. It's just as well, as this home is ideally placed to enjoy the best Venice has to offer. In no more than a fifteen-minute walk, you can be strolling past the quirky characters that inhabit Venice's iconic boardwalk, as well as the mulling over which of the plentiful nearby restaurants and bars you're going to head to later along Abbot Kinney Boulevard. Favourites include Venice mainstay, The Tasting Kitchen for cracking cocktails, and chef Evan Funke's Felix, which serves up some of the best pizza and pasta on the West Coast. Fancy exploring further afield? Hire a bike and pedal-power yourself to the storied Santa Monica Pier in less than twenty minutes, or up to Pacific Palisades in half an hour.
