This family-friendly home is in a great spot for exploring Los Angeles and beyond. You’re just a fifteen-minute drive from Santa Monica and Venice Beach, and only half an hour from Disneyland. With a playhouse in the garden and a bunk bed bedroom, kids are well catered for here. And adults can enjoy the private hot tub, alfresco seating area, and detached studio, which doubles up as a gym and home office. We think this place has everything you'll need for a memorable family holiday.
