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

In the heart of Santa Monica, this apartment puts you mere steps from SoCal's beaches – not to mention within easy reach of shops, brunch spots, restaurants, and the famous Santa Monica Pier. The building's communal amenities are top-notch, from a fitness centre and shared swimming pool to the rooftop terrace. You'll also have access to a balcony, although it may get noisy due to the central locale. While there isn't a washing machine here and two guests will sleep on a sofa bed, we think it'll fit the bill nicely for a low-key getaway.

Santa Monica Summer

Located in the upscale neighbourhood of Brentwood, this straight-talking apartment is fresh and functional. Inside, the living space with its calming green colour scheme opens up onto a small balcony where you can sip your morning coffee and watch the world pass by. A well-appointed kitchen makes cooking a breeze but if you’d prefer to hang up your chef’s hat, take the short drive into Santa Monica for a range of restaurants and cafes.

After a bite to eat, head over to the iconic Venice Beach for a stroll along the boardwalk and a dip in the inviting North Pacific Ocean. When dusk falls, enjoy the bright lights of Santa Monica Pier before returning home for a deep sleep in comfortable beds.

Love Language

A seven-minute walk from Santa Monica Beach, this apartment with a private living area and kitchen is perfect for beach-loving couples or solo wanderers wanting to bask in the laidback SoCal atmosphere. Though compact, this pad is comfortable, even with two more guests on the sofa bed in the living room. Even better, it has an on-site gym, hot tub and swimming pool with an art deco cabana that all residents share, and the communal rooftop terrace is great for sunset drinks. You'll also find several eclectic restaurants nearby – plus valet parking if you plan on exploring further afield.

Sweet Dreaming

For a taste of California cool, look no further than this breezy Venice Beach home. Bright and serene with wood tones and lush textures, the design draws upon natural elements to create a space that inspires you to slow down and relax. Everywhere you look, there are nods to that easygoing Cali lifestyle – from the decorative surfboards to the luxe soaker tub. Experience laid-back living on the plush sofas, or get creative and cook up a feast in the beautiful kitchen. Upstairs, the calm atmosphere continues to flow in the bedrooms, where ocean blues and greys create the perfect setting for a restful night’s sleep. As the day draws to a close, make your way up to the rooftop terrace, where you can watch the sky turn pink before dining under the stars. This is a great location to live like a local and soak in the eclectic energy of this vibrant neighbourhood – the sandy Venice Beach is just a one-minute stroll away. Or, for a change of scenery, jump in the car and explore California’s stunning coastline. 

A Bright Star

Live like a true high-rolling LA local in this fully serviced apartment in Westwood. Perfect for a couple of friends or colleagues, the apartment is sophisticated and bespoke. Ideal for work or pleasure, the apartment is right next to UCLA’s campus and a short drive from all the attractions of Santa Monica. This modernist home achieves the perfect balance of feeling both idyllically remote and right in the thick of the neighbourhood.

Care is obvious in this home’s interiors and evidence of its thoughtful design is all-encompassing – the soft linen sofa invites you to sit back, throw open windows and let peace wash over you. Head to the building’s gym for a morning sweat while a dog walker takes your pup off your hands before settling in for a day of work - your bright living space is a peaceful spot for emails, or use the building’s shared workspace. One of the main allures of this home can be found on the roof terrace, where you can pop open a cold beer beneath the hanging lights and soak up the Californian heat. 

Our perfect day means waking up with the sun through your expansive windows, coffee and LA Times in hand, before heading out to soak up the artworks at The Getty, just ten minutes by car. Our pick for a late lunch or early dinner is Kazunori, a twelve-minute walk from your apartment, for a selection of seafood handrolls. Perfectly satiated, drive into Santa Monica for a walk along the Venice boardwalk and soak up the neighbourhood’s vibrant energy.

City Of Angels

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

If you're the sort of person that likes everything to be taken care of for them when they're staying in a new city, this serviced apartment in Westwood will be the stuff of dreams. The home itself is super bright thanks to an entire wall covered in windows and the LA sunshine dances wonderfully off the wooden floor and sleek kitchen surfaces. There's a gas fireplace for turning on in the chillier months — SoCal's version of chilly, anyway — and the large bedrooms finished in dark colours and check carpeting are instantly comfy. However, it's the amenities and services available to guests in the building that are perhaps most impressive. There's a fitness centre in the building for working up a sweat first thing in the morning and a rooftop terrace with a barbecue for the other end of the day. Guests can also take advantage of twenty-four-seven dry cleaning, daily housekeeping and in-suite massages, as well as a whole host of other services. Many of these, such as electric vehicle hire and dog walking, can save you time so you can head out into the city and explore. The Getty can be reached around ten minutes in the car, as can Rodeo Drive and Century City.

Rodeo

Organic, sustainable, and carbon-free materials have never come together so nicely as at this modern LA apartment. It's the perfect blend of effortless So-Cal design, Moroccan accents, and a 70s-chic interior that makes for an oasis of calm and revitalisation. Your host’s background in property and architecture can truly be sensed in the quality of this home, with sleek sliding glass doors, pristine lines and the smooth outside decking area that will have you moving seamlessly from indoor to outdoor. Speaking of, the garden benefits from a canopy of lush trees, cacti and palm leaves to create a tranquil and private pocket of intimacy for you and a friend or loved one. With the added benefits of the sun-loungers, hammock, and fireplace, we know where we'd spend most of our time. Combined with a simply amazing location – you're a twenty-three walk from the sand, sea, and surf of Venice Beach – this home ticks all the boxes, and while it may have a small footprint, it's made a very big and long-lasting impression on us at Plum. 

Cactus Beach

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.
