Click to book Palm Breeze now: from £347 per night 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 geo-thermal energy. The immediately surrounding part of Venice is very walkable, and the beach is about a twenty-minute walk away (or five minutes in the car). Sleeps up to 2 | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom

Click to book White Pebble now: from £200 per night Located within walking distance of Venice Beach and the restaurants, art galleries and independent boutiques lining Abbot Kinney Boulevard, this modern bungalow is perfect for those looking to enjoy the laid-back side of Los Angeles. Calming grey and white tones create a living space that’s as peaceful as the location while chic furnishings, house plants and floral arrangements add a touch of personality to your home. Out on the patio, you’ll find a comfortable lounge area that’s perfect for daytime drinks, a hammock that’ll invite you to take an afternoon nap in the fresh air, and a barbecue for grilling up a meaty feast come the evening. There are even bikes provided, so you can cycle down to the beach to watch the sunset from your saddle. Sleeps up to 3 | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom

Click to book Calcite now: from £595 per night This Venice home is the total package - a beautifully designed space with an incredibly warm and hospitable host. With high-end furnishings and unique artwork, this home also comes with a peaceful courtyard around the back. It's an ideal layout for four, with some lovely sociable space and individual privacy. What's more? It's fabulously located within walking distance to all Venice attractions but still tucked away on a quiet street. Sleeps up to 4 | 2 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms

Click to book Venice Hideaway now: from £175 per night 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. Sleeps up to 2 | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom

Click to book Marco Place II now: from £935 per night You’ll find this laid-back home in a peaceful pocket of Venice, just a fifteen-minute walk from the bars, boutiques, and trendy restaurants of Abbot Kinney Boulevard, a twenty-minute walk from the Venice Canals, and half an hour’s walk from the iconic Venice Beach. Calm and unassuming at first glance, this charcoal beauty hides a treasure trove of treats once you walk inside. Not only is the house large and light-filled – with thoughtfully curated furnishings and art pieces – but there’s a guesthouse at the bottom of the luscious garden. If that wasn't enough, there's also a suntrap of a patio, a lap pool and a hot tub. With its high hedges and mature garden beds, the garden is this lovely home’s crowning glory, and we can easily imagine whiling away several sunny days out here without a care in the world. The patio is perfect for entertaining, with plenty of comfy seating to enjoy, and we think the hot tub looks like the perfect spot for a glass of wine while admiring the golden hour light of the LA sky above. You’ll find a self-contained apartment in the guesthouse, complete with a perfectly designed kitchen, dining table, and sleeping area. While in the main house, neutral, natural textiles are offset by bold floor rugs, and a green office space offers up the ideal spot to get a bit of remote work done. Sleeps up to 6 | 3 Bedrooms | 3 Bathrooms
