Venice Beach Vacation Condos

The refrigerator was extremely noisy making it difficult to sleep. The air conditioning barely worked. It was hot inside the unit.

Plenty of towels, clean, good water preasure. Beds a little on the firm side with cheap bedding. Quick walk to beach and boardwalk but long walk to parking.

Location to the beach and restaurants was 5/5. Check out food on Rose Ave. Close to Abbet Kinney Blvd with all the boutiques etc. Condo was good clean and comfortable. Condo is a little tired looking but acceptable. These are my complaints that should be a pretty easy fix. No paper towels or any other type of kitchen clothes or towels. The coffee maker worked but the filters were the wrong ones for the machine and the machine lid was broken. Needs a new frying pan and the cutlery /utensils are the cheapest you can buy. A quick trip to GoodWill could fix that. Salt and pepper wouldn’t hurt. That’s it. I recommend staying here! Accessing the property was easy. The beach is right there. Also we just did free street parking on Main Street 5 min walk away. Check out The Win-Dow at American Beauty Restaurant for great burgers and chicken sandwiches. We had dinner in their ‘Garden’ and that was good too.

The check-in process is not smooth. I filled out the emailed form weeks prior. Noticed that they would email all the codes for doors and gates ONE HOUR prior to check in. I emailed asking if I could get this info a day early because I was driving from a great distance and wanted the info prior to me standing at the gate searching my emails. I'm a mom with two teens in tow and wanted a quick and smooth check in given the area. NO response and then frantic emails about no selfie was submitted and the credit card I was using was not processing. Just extra stress while traveling and would have been handled better the day prior to arrival. Place has thin walls, could hear the conversation upstairs word for word. Parking is two blocks away, BLOCKS not streets. Not great at night to be walking back from the parking garage while homeless are wandering about. Kitchen is poorly stocked. NO oven mits or hot pads, no dish towels just paper towels, no baking sheet or baking pan. Dishwasher didn't work well. A bag of ice in the freezer that was a block of ice cubes that fused together. Bathroom needs a good deep clean on the tile floor, the grout is dark black in the center of the room, the sides it is a lighter tan. Tiles missing, bathtub needs to be re -chauked. The high tub was not easy to get in and out of for the shower. Towels are basic hotel grade. Would benifit from some nice bath rugs in the bathroom. Twin beds are the couch in the living room.

The main door lock entrance to the complex was broken the whole time we stayed there for 4 nights. We called the property manager first day and they said the handyman will fix it but it never happened. So the door was open and the area had lots of homeless. We felt very unsafe at nights as there was no security to the complex. The parking was 10 min walk and very inconvenient. Specially at night with homeless ppl in street. The location was good though close to the beach.

The location is great. Walkable access to everything in Venice Beach and slightly longer walk to Santa Monica pier. Super quiet for being so close to the beachfront activities.

The unit itself was fine; well stocked kitchen, etc. But the online checkin was a huge waste of time and energy. I was told to submit a selfie for ID purposes. I did. I later got an email saying if I didn't submit the selfie, I couldn't check in. I resubmitted it, asked for confirmation. Received the confirmation. Then on checkin day, instead of receiving the entry code for the unit, I got a message saying I couldn't get the code because I hadn't submitted a selfie...

We had an excellent mother/daughter weekend at this location. Note that parking is a few blocks away however easy to navigate. The bathroom had not enough toilet paper (we purchased no problem) and since laundry facilities were not working we had limited towels - partly because there were no bathroom rugs and we had to use a couple towels to avoid slipping etc. The shower tub is very tall making it awkward to get in and out of and water easily got on the floor. There is no hand bar to hold and I feel older people may have great difficulty with it. In addition there were a few bugs (not bedbugs) found in the home throughout the stay. All of these things were minor and the location is absolutely perfect for navigating to the beach and shopping.
