Charming Cottage in a Perfect Location
We recently stayed at this cozy cottage in Santa Monica and had a wonderful experience. The location is unbeatable—just minutes from the beach and Santa Monica Pier. It’s a fantastic home base for exploring everything the area has to offer.While the space is a bit tight for a family of four, it’s well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. If you’re looking for a charming spot in an ideal location, this cottage is a great choice. We’d happily stay here again!

Location, Location, Location!
This two story cottage was absolutely the perfect location for our visit to the Los Angeles area of Southern California. The host, Dayle, met us as we arrived, handed us keys and parking permits, and we unloaded quickly. The downstairs of the cottage is basically the bedroom and bathroom, and the upstairs is a kitchenette with a sitting room. I need to brag on the shower as the pressure was wonderful and the showerheads were incredible. One of the best parts of every day of my vacation was that shower. There are TVs with DIRECTV on both levels. Everything you could ever want was provided including a nice hard side cooler, beach towels, beach chairs, etc. The kitchen was also fully stocked with plates, glasses, cookware, etc. A coffee maker along with a fresh package of coffee was provided and delicious. The location is within steps of the Santa Monica pier and beach, as well as downtown Santa Monica shopping and restaurants. Parking was fairly easy with permit parking provided out in front of the unit, and if all of the parking was full, there was a permit for a parking lot just down the block, again with an easy walking distance. It is also less than 1 mile from an entrance ramp onto interstate 10 that will take you anywhere you want to go. I’m telling you, you can’t go wrong with this location. 10 out of 10. Will definitely stay there again.

Lovely carriage house
This location in Santa Monica was perfectly positioned near the beach and was stocked with most everything we could need for the perfect beach trip. This cut down on what we needed to pack ourselves. We found the location to provide easy parking and highway access for our trips into LA while being near enough to the promenade to walk to restaurants and the pier for other activities. We had a great time and would definitely consider this location for another visit to the area.

Everything you need in a cozy place!
The place was great! Lots of little touches (snacks, wine, toiletries) really made us feel welcomed. Any type of kitchenware you might need is provided, even baking things like cookie sheets and cake pans. Also loved all the beach things provided (boards, umbrella, chairs, towels). Location was amazing and parking was easy. Place was clean and cozy. Beds were very comfortable. Host was awesome about being available when we had questions or concerns. Would highly recommend this place! Was perfect!

We finished our amazing California honeymoon in this wonderful spot in Santa Monica. Dayle was a welcoming host, communication was easy and the property perfect. Easy to get to the beach and all the restaurants and nightlife of SM and Venice Beach. Perfect little courtyard for a meal in when we needed a night in too!

Perfect Beach Vacation
We loved our week long stay at Dayle’s place. It was literally steps to the beautiful beach and the Ocean Front Walk. Many wonderful restaurants were within walking distance. We also enjoyed Universal, Hollywood, hiking and horseback riding, all just a short car ride away. The Carriage House felt like “coming home” every night. The place was comfy, cozy and full stocked with everything we needed…including boogie boards and beach chairs that we used daily. Chris and Dayle were so kind and nice. We hope to be back!

Amazing location
You can't beat the location - right at the beach and an easy walk to Santa Monica Pier. The main/ground floor has the bedroom and a bathroom, and then upstairs, there is a kitchen and living room area. There is also a private patio between the carriage house and the owner's house. Lots of great touches - snacks, extra toothbrushes, beach towels and boogie boards. It's clear the owner put a lot of thought into things.

Our Santa Monica Stay
This IS DEFINITELY the best beach location in Santa Monica. What a find!! Our host Daryl was quick and great to communicate with and nothing was too much trouble. The place was perfect for us. We were travelling with my son who is 25 and the setup suited us perfectly. It had absolutely everything you needed along with more personal touches such as coffee / snacks left for you to enjoy. It was extremely clean, light, airy and comfortable, but the best thing was the Location / location / Location. Close to the beach / Pier and downtown Santa Monica it was absolutely perfect. I will certainly be recommending to all my friends and family. Thanks Dayle - a perfect finish to our holiday
