There are so many fantastic, shared amenities to mention at this home’s 100-plus acre oceanfront resort, that we could be here for some time. Facilities include several pools, a spa and fitness centre, beach access, a golf course and more (fees apply). What about the villa itself? We love the private patio overlooking the ocean and golf course and you’ll also find a hot tub too. A couple of things to mention – one bedroom can only be accessed via the courtyard. And at full capacity, two guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the family room. The location, we have to say, is great – Los Angeles and many other attractions are within driving distance.

A sensational property located directly on Manhattan Beach, this head-turning home is a designer's dream. The cutting-edge glass exterior contrasts nicely with the wood and stone elements inside, which serve to connect you to the natural beauty on show through the double-height floor-to-ceiling windows. The secluded bedrooms allow for a certain amount of privacy. However, it's worth noting that the third bedroom is accessed through a hatch in the ceiling of the second – which certainly makes the prospect of going to bed a lot more exciting for the kids. The communal areas are inviting and cosy and do everything possible to orientate you towards those incredible vistas. So grab a glass of wine and watch the waves roll in as the setting sun reflects off your sleek beach house.

Set aback from the hustle and bustle of the more popular Venice neighbourhoods, this charming home provides a peaceful stay in a residential area, while still being a short drive or bike ride away from the beach. The tasteful design of this home has optimised the space, utilising  the high-ceilings and wooden beams. The art collection is also a distinctive feature, as most of the works are by friends of the host or local artists. The home's character also extends to the large outdoor area which is ideal for socialising on lazy summer evenings.

Outdoor Shower

This modern retreat is the perfect place to relax and enjoy your Californian getaway. There’s a large garden with a dining area, grill, fire pit, and outdoor shower, while inside is light and bright thanks to sliding patio doors. You can park your car in the secure carport here and if you don’t feel like driving, your host provides two bicycles for free to explore the area. In the locale, you’ll find a range of restaurants, cafes, and Penmar Park or visit beautiful Venice Beach.

The Venice Dream

Balcony

There’s an art to California living and this home may be the perfect spot to master it. Just three short blocks from the ocean in Manhattan Beach, its sophisticated beach-vibe styling is fresh and comfortable, and there are two balconies to take in the salty sea air. Exposed brickwork and mid-century modern furnishings set the tone in the open-plan living area and kitchen, and just out on the little balcony, there's a grill so you can cook outdoors on fine days. Follow the light up another flight of stairs to the master bedroom and you’ll discover the real heart of the home. A canvas of blue will hold your gaze as you stare out onto panoramic views of the ocean and coastline (hello Catalina Island). With its reclaimed wood floors, vaulted ceilings and soft tones, it's a stylish space made all the more inviting by its lounge area and luxury bathroom. Step outside and this balcony was made for peaceful morning coffees. Nearby, there are plenty of dining options on your doorstep, and from here it's easy to rent bikes and cruise the oceanfront bicycle path that stretches for miles. An evening walk on the strand after dinner is sure to be a memorable experience, just be sure to make it back in time to watch the sunset from your balcony.

This wonderful home is in the highly sought-after neighbourhood of Silver Strand, just a few steps from Grand Canal Esplanade and its beaches. High ceilings and huge windows fill the home with light, while fireplaces keep things cosy after dark. We love the rooftop terrace with mountain views, as well as the balcony that looks out over the patio and gardens. Your host can help arrange spa treatments and private chefs to make your stay all the more special.

This lovingly restored 1940s retreat has been a family home for almost three decades. Packed with intriguing artefacts from around the world, every inch is bursting with character and charm. The owner is also an interior designer and sculptor – make sure to play a tune on the upright piano, which is a relic from her childhood. Each bedroom is cosy and well-sized (particularly the main suite), while the many lounges – including an office space – ensure there's a quiet spot for everyone. We're also big fans of tropical terraces and patios. With Manhattan Beach and the Strand both within easy walking distance, it's no surprise we fell hook, line, and sinker.

Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

The Sculpturist

From the grey timber exterior to the walls painted in shades of ocean blue, this is a home where colour is used to create a certain atmosphere. Step through the front door and you can't help but feel calmer than you did just moments before. The house plant collection contributes to this zen feeling, as does the copious amounts of natural light coming in through the large living room window, which dances pleasingly off the wooden floor. The peaceful ambience is in keeping with the Long Beach location, which is a lot more laid-back than neighbouring Los Angeles. Here, you can get to the eponymous beach in twenty-five minutes, but Downtown LA is only forty-five minutes away in the car if you want to up the ante at any point.

Just minutes from Junipero Beach, this homely digs packs a punch due to its location and size. Full of all the mod cons needed for a comfortable stay in California, with its black leather sofa and cosy stone hearth fireplace, the space feels welcoming and well looked after. And for those keeping one eye on work during their trip, you'll notice the sleek study area, complete with a glass-topped table and a bright outlook by the window. While the modern tones and bold decor adds a level of comfort and style, the real star of the show is the outside space. We can think of nothing better than warmer evenings spent out here with friends and family, soaking up the last of the stubborn Cali sunshine with alfresco drinks in hand. The garage parking at this home makes it very easy to head down to the beach and enjoy long fun-filled days spent building sandcastles with the kids, swimming in the sea and frisbee throwing on the sand. In fact, there's up to five beaches under a five-mile radius from your home, meaning you can mix up your chosen tanning spot each day. And after all the lounging around on the coast, you may be in need of a culture fix – if so, The Museum of Latin American Art is a short twelve-minute stroll from your front door.

Rooftop Terrace

Soaring ceilings and sophisticated amenities await at this home in Venice Beach. It's the perfect location, a twenty-minute walk from the boardwalk and beach. There isn't a pool here, but the roof terrace makes up for that. You can unwind with a glass of wine, gather by the fire, and strike up the barbecue for an alfresco meal as the sun goes down. Indoors, you'll find three floors of living space. The main suite is on the top floor, with a soaking tub for extra relaxation. That's all our boxes ticked.

Sunset Over Venice

Amazon Prime

Right in the beating heart of Venice, yet situated on one of the quietest and most picturesque streets in the neighbourhood, this seaside home is a tranquil haven. Skylights illuminate the rooms, decorated in neutral tones with pleasing dusky pinks, soft blues and sandy tones to echo the coastal surroundings and unforgettable LA sunsets. Your host has made great use of small nooks and inaccessible corners to create mini sanctuaries within the larger seating area and by the doors into the courtyard garden. Wooden floors, jute rugs and an abundance of greenery all contribute to creating that all-important connection with nature and making you feel at peace.

Explore the neighbourhood, and you'll find any number of fabulous cafes, bars and restaurants right on your doorstep. Local standouts include Felix Trattoria and Plant Food + Wine, both just a few minutes away on foot. You're about a half-mile from the shore and the famed Venice Skatepark facing the ocean if you head towards the coast. Head to a rooftop bar to take in the vistas while sipping a cocktail in the balmy weather - the ideal way to cap off a beautiful day.


Dance to Your Own Drum

Breakfast Included

This bungalow has a quiet charm that can be hard to find in vibrant Venice. Built in the early 1900s, this cottage-like retreat takes you back to a carefree time where you hardly realise you're in the sprawling metropolis of Los Angeles. As you arrive under the leafy trellis, you’ll want to stop for a cool iced tea on the wooden slatted porch. Sitting out at this shady spot, the delicate, grey-blue painted exterior and white detailing reminds you of ocean surf lapping the sand. Inside, while clean, fresh, and modern, we love unique touches like the decorative brick fireplace, and record sleeves on the walls such as Janis Joplin, bringing that sixties California feel into the home. More beach vibes continue the more you look – the host even provides beach towels for guests, plus sand toys for the little ones, so you’ll be ocean-ready from the offset. Venice Beach and its famous boardwalk is a five-minute walk from your beautiful bungalow, while Santa Monica Beach is just over two miles away. You can cruise over there by car, hire a bike, or take a walk from your neighbourhood – a pleasant stroll past health-food cafés, surf boutiques, and beach-side restaurants.

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!

This classic Venice bungalow is all about those Californian good vibes. Dating back to the 1920s the home echoes the bohemian nature of the neighbourhood, with an authentic, laid-back feel and an eclectic mix of vintage furniture. Inside, there are period features like the pretty arched window and the wood floor, along with a fully equipped kitchen and two bedrooms. But it's the garden that's the real selling point here. Green, secluded and quirky in its own uniquely Venice way, it's a place to escape with your friends and family. Eat at the outdoor dining table, light the fire pit and sit out under the string lights at night. In the morning, grab one of the home's bikes and cycle down to the beach, or bring your boards and head out for a day surfing. A converted garage provides an extra studio bedroom for two in the garden, which can be rented along with the main house. A half-hour stroll from Abbot Kinney Boulevard and all its shops, restaurants and galleries, there’s always something to do in this buzzing part of LA.

This Venice home is the total package – it’s a beautifully designed space with an incredibly warm and hospitable host. You’ll feel at ease as soon as you arrive, thanks to its high-end furnishings and unique artwork. Begin mindful mornings in the meditation room as the professional-grade coffee machine warms up in the well-appointed kitchen. And when you’re ready for breakfast, come together at the velvet dining nook for a bite to eat. On sunny afternoons, while away the hours in the tranquil outside space. Sway with the breeze on the hanging couch or unwind in the private hot tub. If you’d like to stretch your legs, you’ll find the fashionable Abbot Kinney Boulevard a twelve-minute walk away. Better still, the iconic Venice Beach is a twenty-two-minute stroll from your doorstep – or a six-minute bike ride – your host has left two beach cruisers at the abode for you to use.

Lift Access

Sweeping views await at this penthouse apartment. It's perched right by the water in Marina Del Rey, and thanks to floor-to-ceiling glass walls, you'll be treated to non-stop ocean vistas no matter the time of day. A private balcony is ideal for alfresco sundowners and watching the hustle and bustle of the marina. Head inside, and you can lounge in the bright living area or gaze further afield with the telescope. There are a few quirks here, though. The main bedroom is open to the living space below, and the blinds don't block out the sunlight. But, with Venice Beach a five-minute drive away and panoramas aplenty, it's an excellent option for a getaway on the coast.

Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

Realtors use the term ‘walk score’ to determine the quality of life in a house without a car – and we're scoring this beautiful Venice home a whopping 100%! Its location just five minutes from Abbott Kinney, dozens of shopping boutiques, Venice Beach and the Venice Canals makes this home's locale incredibly hard to beat. Inside, the interiors are newly renovated and feature laid-back Melbourne styling influences as well as occasional oriental accents dotted around the home in the form of artwork and antique pieces. We particularly love the super sociable kitchen and dining room area, with its huge open space, guests can enjoy cooking sessions together or more simple aperitifs either at the long dining table or perched around the sleek kitchen island. With plenty of natural light flowing through the home, there's no need to go outside to benefit from the California sunshine, as the serene setting allows you to wake up feeling all the more refreshed and energised with reach and every day spent here.

This stunning Venetian sanctuary has been home to Hollywood legends and it’s not hard to see why. Besides its striking design, the house boasts amazing features such as several outdoor terraces, including a rooftop one complete with fire pit and 360 views. With Abbott Kinney Boulevard on your doorstep, you can shop to your heart’s content and stop off for a coffee at a number of cafes. Venice Beach is but a seven-minute walk away, or you could spend the day in downtown L.A. Once you stay at this home, you may never want to leave.

The Artist's Retreat

You wouldn't typically associate Venice Beach with a quirky combo of steampunk and French gilt, but then Venice has always just done its own thing. This apartment manages to tactfully combine both aesthetics to create a bohemian vibe that fits right in with its creative and all-inclusive surroundings. And should you stay here, you'll certainly appreciate the 10ft-high ceilings, open floor plan, and shared outdoor garden space – complete with a hammock, outdoor seating and fire pit for atmospheric alfresco evenings. The quiet residential street is great for a restful night's sleep. However, you're close to the heart of the action – the many restaurants and cafes of Rose Ave, as well as the iconic Venice Beach Boardwalk are just a short stroll away.

Sun Umbrellas

There are some places where you step inside and you just feel instantly at home. Like walking through the doors of this beautiful home in Long Beach. Perhaps it’s the spirit of Southern California or the peaceful neighbourhood atmosphere, but there’s something about this space that makes it easy to relax. 

From cooking in the kitchen to curling up with a book in the bedroom, this home has been thoughtfully designed to inspire a sense of comfort. But it’s also filled with charm and character – there are unique touches throughout the space. You’ll love taking long soaks in the vintage bathtub or spending evenings sipping drinks on the patio. 

Families and groups of friends will love this area. Days can be spent shopping and dining in Bixby knolls – just a three–minute drive, or down at Shoreline Village and Junipero Beach, a thirteen–minute drive. Art lovers won’t want to miss the contemporary works on display at the Museum of Latin American Art – an eight–minute drive away. 

As the sunsets across the oceanfront, you’ll love the feeling of coming home to light up the grill on the patio and share a special evening in true California style.

Fabian, the host, is an architect from Berlin, and when you see the house, that makes a lot of sense. Palm Breeze has been designed in a wonderfully coherent manner, and clearly, with its eco-credentials in mind – there are solar panels on the roof, and the water is heated with geothermal energy. The immediate surrounding part of Venice is very walkable, and the beach is about a twenty-minute walk away (or five minutes in the car).

Exquisitely designed and situated a fifteen-minute walk from the warm sands of Venice Beach, this contemporary bungalow is an ultra-modern delight hidden behind a humble timber-framed facade. Pristine white and sleek black tones, including the porch's checkered floor tiles, make for a monochrome-themed pad that’s as aesthetically pleasing as it is relaxing. 

We absolutely love how the home's design blurs the lines between indoors and outdoors. The living room opens up to a small terrace by way of a disappearing glass wall, making for a tranquil space that allows you to savour the fresh air from the comfort of your cosy sofa. When you get the urge to explore your local area, a short stroll will take you to the Abbot Kinney Boulevard strip where you’ll find a range of trendy boutiques and buzzy restaurants.

Monochrome Magnet

Steps away from the beach, this home has large living room windows that look out onto the deep blue Pacific Ocean. Take a seat with a good book and soak in the view, or go down to the second and third floor balconies for some fresh sea air with your morning coffee. 

We love how the cutouts in the kitchen blend the space together with the living room for a more social atmosphere. Unwind after sandy days in the comfortable bedroom, and wash up in the pastel blue tiled bathroom. You’ll be in a great location for exploring this wonderful stretch of coast – the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium is just a four-minute walk, while the sprawling Angel Gate Park is only fourteen minutes away. By car, you can visit Long Beach in fifteen minutes or Redondo Beach in thirty. And if you’d like to explore the beautiful island of Catalina, San Pedro has a ferry station just ten minutes away by car from home.

Marine Layer

This cute and quirky cottage-like home embraces the irreverent spirit of its Venice Beach location. It’s close to great shopping on Abbot Kinney Boulevard, tonnes of great restaurants and bars, and of course, the beach (which is a fifteen-minute walk or three-minute drive).

The first thing you’ll notice is the mural of orange and yellow pansies, practically bursting off the walls outside. Stepping inside, it’s a riot of colour, from the mosaic-covered dining table to the tufted green velvet sofa. Shelves are teeming with books in the dining area and the kitchen has a sunny farmhouse feel with a big range-style cooker and wooden breakfast table in the centre. There’s a little shared garden out the back too, brimming with lush greenery and a cute stone water feature. 

Fluid Mosaics

Just a short walk from the canals and sands of Venice Beach, this modern home is perfectly situated for exploring the area’s attractions. With its rooftop terrace offering stunning 360-degree views, you can enjoy the sun setting over the ocean. Fire up the grill or relax by the fire pit beneath the twinkling stars. Set over three levels, this home has a minimalist sunken living room and a state-of-the-art kitchen. There are three living spaces in total, including one at the basement level, which also sleeps guests seven and eight on a sofa bed. We love the main bedroom, too, with its impressive en-suite with a freestanding bath. This place allows you to live the coveted Venice Beach lifestyle.
