Surfers Paradise

Holiday Rental Description

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.

Home truths:
*The main home sleeps four people but if you add the studio the capacity goes up to six – let the host know if you'd like to as there is an extra fee
*There is one bathroom in this home so if there are six of you, some queuing for the shower will be required
*You'll need a car to get around LA – parking is available on the driveway and out on the street
*There's no air-conditioning here but there are fans
