Click to book Amber & Sweet Orange now: from £200 per night A masterclass in design, it’s no wonder this modern-meets-mid-century home made it onto the hallowed pages of Architectural Digest. Delightfully peaceful, yet only one block from Abbot Kinney Boulevard, the home achieves the near-impossible feat of feeling both totally remote and right in the middle of it all. The uncluttered bedrooms are a sanctuary of serenity, while throughout the rest of the house, classic mid-century pieces are carefully considered and expertly placed to let open-plan spaces breathe while maintaining an inviting warmth. Swathes of wood and a smattering of pot plants tie in beautifully with the outdoors. Through the vast sliding glass doors, you'll find a restorative backyard space flanked by lush vegetation – it’s the perfect spot for casual early evening drinks. After a bike ride along the Venice Boardwalk – just ten minutes from your front door – retreat to your rooftop terrace to catch the last of the sun or detox in the outdoor sauna. Sleeps up to 6 | 3 Bedrooms | 3 Bathrooms

Click to book Gilded Lily now: from £222 per night This is the home of our boho Venice dreams – a bright, leafy bungalow furnished impeccably with shabby chic style. The private garden has a lovely old-fashioned patio set for enjoying morning coffee and pastries, while the firepit can warm up a couple of friends on cooler nights. Perfect for a couple or solo traveller, the bright inside spaces of this home seamlessly blend together. We love the paneled windows that line the living area and kitchen, bringing in plenty of light and greenery. The bedroom continues the fairytale feel – every element of design is pitch-perfect, from the bedspread to the gilded mirror. And the gold tub certainly has us craving a glamorous soak. As far as location, this home continues to hit the nail on the head. You’ll be just a ten-minute walk from the excellent restaurants and shopping of Abbot Kinney and less than half an hour from Venice beach (or a quick ten-minute bike ride). On the other side of you, Lincoln Boulevard has grown into a busy hub of delicious restaurants and boutiques that give Abbot Kinney a run for its money – you’ll be a quick six-minute walk from most of them. Sleeps up to 2 | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom

Click to book Modernist Calm now: from £347 per night 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. Sleeps up to 2 | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom

Click to book The Art Oceanfront now: from £400 per night 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. Sleeps up to 2 | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom

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
