With a sweeping view of Ballona Wetlands and the twinkling lights of LA on the distant horizon, guests staying at this Playa Del Rey mansion are presented with a choice — take in this mesmerising panorama from the roof terrace or from the comfort of the hot tub? This is the sort of difficult decision you're constantly faced with at this five-storey mansion. Do you spend the afternoon sweating away in the sauna or potting balls on the pool table? Evening cocktails out on the balcony or around the home's inbuilt circular bar area? Fire up the barbecue for dinner or make the twenty-minute drive to Venice Beach and explore the range of bars and restaurants there? Thanks to the array of amenities at this address, there will undoubtedly be a lot of weighing up of different options, but guests will soon find that it's a welcome position to find themselves in.

This bright and modern bungalow, nestled comfortably between the iconic beaches and the lively shopping stretch of Abbot Kinney Boulevard, is the ideal place for a relaxing LA getaway. You’ll be within easy reach of all of the area’s best haunts, with its trendy coffee shops and restaurants, while at the same time enjoying the complete tranquillity of the secluded street.

The house itself is a beautiful reflection of its setting – a spacious and light-filled interior, with plenty of comfy lounging space to relax in. We love the simple yet stylish décor, with mid-century inspired furnishings and gorgeous pieces – we particularly favour the lamps and light fixtures – and the glossy, wooden floors, giving the whole place a homey, instantly welcoming feel. The bedrooms invite you in, with the plush, comfortable beds, while both bathrooms offer a touch of sparkling luxury. 

You’ll also have your own garden, perfect for relaxed drinks and light suppers, with the golden hour of the California sunset as your backdrop. This is the famous LA magic at its best.

This wonderful home is in the highly sought-after neighbourhood of Silver Strand, just a few steps from Grand Canal Esplanade and its beaches. High ceilings and huge windows fill the home with light, while fireplaces keep things cosy after dark. We love the rooftop terrace with mountain views, as well as the balcony that looks out over the patio and gardens. Your host can help arrange spa treatments and private chefs to make your stay all the more special.

Soaring ceilings and sophisticated amenities await at this home in Venice Beach. It's the perfect location, a twenty-minute walk from the boardwalk and beach. There isn't a pool here, but the roof terrace makes up for that. You can unwind with a glass of wine, gather by the fire, and strike up the barbecue for an alfresco meal as the sun goes down. Indoors, you'll find three floors of living space. The main suite is on the top floor, with a soaking tub for extra relaxation. That's all our boxes ticked.

Nice to haves

Realtors use the term ‘walk score’ to determine the quality of life in a house without a car – and we're scoring this beautiful Venice home a whopping 100%! Its location just five minutes from Abbott Kinney, dozens of shopping boutiques, Venice Beach and the Venice Canals makes this home's locale incredibly hard to beat. Inside, the interiors are newly renovated and feature laid-back Melbourne styling influences as well as occasional oriental accents dotted around the home in the form of artwork and antique pieces. We particularly love the super sociable kitchen and dining room area, with its huge open space, guests can enjoy cooking sessions together or more simple aperitifs either at the long dining table or perched around the sleek kitchen island. With plenty of natural light flowing through the home, there's no need to go outside to benefit from the California sunshine, as the serene setting allows you to wake up feeling all the more refreshed and energised with reach and every day spent here.

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.

Set aback from the hustle and bustle of the more popular Venice neighbourhoods, this charming home provides a peaceful stay in a residential area, while still being a short drive or bike ride away from the beach. The tasteful design of this home has optimised the space, utilising  the high-ceilings and wooden beams. The art collection is also a distinctive feature, as most of the works are by friends of the host or local artists. The home's character also extends to the large outdoor area which is ideal for socialising on lazy summer evenings.

This Venice home is the total package – it’s a beautifully designed space with an incredibly warm and hospitable host. You’ll feel at ease as soon as you arrive, thanks to its high-end furnishings and unique artwork. Begin mindful mornings in the meditation room as the professional-grade coffee machine warms up in the well-appointed kitchen. And when you’re ready for breakfast, come together at the velvet dining nook for a bite to eat. On sunny afternoons, while away the hours in the tranquil outside space. Sway with the breeze on the hanging couch or unwind in the private hot tub. If you’d like to stretch your legs, you’ll find the fashionable Abbot Kinney Boulevard a twelve-minute walk away. Better still, the iconic Venice Beach is a twenty-two-minute stroll from your doorstep – or a six-minute bike ride – your host has left two beach cruisers at the abode for you to use.

Sweeping views await at this penthouse apartment. It's perched right by the water in Marina Del Rey, and thanks to floor-to-ceiling glass walls, you'll be treated to non-stop ocean vistas no matter the time of day. A private balcony is ideal for alfresco sundowners and watching the hustle and bustle of the marina. Head inside, and you can lounge in the bright living area or gaze further afield with the telescope. There are a few quirks here, though. The main bedroom is open to the living space below, and the blinds don't block out the sunlight. But, with Venice Beach a five-minute drive away and panoramas aplenty, it's an excellent option for a getaway on the coast.

Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

Marina Musings

We do love a home with character, and this place has it in spades. Tucked away in its own gated compound, surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens, this eclectic gem is a timeless work of art. Boho-luxe styling, colourful fabrics, bold artwork, vintage furniture – you name it, it's here. Inside, we're talking big squishy sofas, countless armchairs and rustic dining tables, with bags of space to entertain your guests, while a separate office, dedicated library and multiple nooks allow you to easily slip off for some peace and quiet. But this place really comes into its own outdoors. Imagine serving up alfresco meals on the candle-lit terrace, sipping cocktails around the 15ft outdoor fireplace or leafing through a book on a garden sofa, surrounded by tropical plants. The real surprise is that here you’re actually bang in the middle of bustling Venice, with the iconic boardwalk, beach and eateries all within easy walking distance.

Exquisitely designed and situated a fifteen-minute walk from the warm sands of Venice Beach, this contemporary bungalow is an ultra-modern delight hidden behind a humble timber-framed facade. Pristine white and sleek black tones, including the porch's checkered floor tiles, make for a monochrome-themed pad that’s as aesthetically pleasing as it is relaxing. 

We absolutely love how the home's design blurs the lines between indoors and outdoors. The living room opens up to a small terrace by way of a disappearing glass wall, making for a tranquil space that allows you to savour the fresh air from the comfort of your cosy sofa. When you get the urge to explore your local area, a short stroll will take you to the Abbot Kinney Boulevard strip where you’ll find a range of trendy boutiques and buzzy restaurants.

Monochrome Magnet

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

It’s rare to find a calm sanctuary in the heart of bustling Venice, but step into this home and you’ll feel the outside world disappear. Through the sliding glass doors there is an explosion of soothing earthy tones, natural materials and endless greenery. The interior is an ode to the cool Californian air – with vast floor-to-ceiling windows, simple wooden furnishings and a sleek black fireplace feature, the outdoor to indoor transition is smooth and easy. Quirky ornaments and bookshelves also add a stylish yet homely ambience. Outside, the garden is an oasis of plants and vegetation that will make your morning coffee on the sun-kissed patio a delight. Ready to start the day? Hop on a bicycle – included in the home – and spin down to the iconic Venice beach, just a twenty-minute ride away.

Get a taste of California living at A Peachy Life. From the 1950s inspired kitchen (including a retro-style kitchen booth), to the relaxing and lush back garden, this home fully embodies the southern Californian lifestyle. There’s no private spot to park your car, but the host kindly offers the use of bicycles, so you’ll be fully equipped to live that Cali life outside of the home as well. Why not cycle over to the Venice Beach Boardwalk and see where the day takes you – if you’re very dedicated, you can reach stunning Malibu in just under two hours.

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. 

Modernist Calm

Charmingly peaceful - yet only one block away from the energetic heart of Venice, Abbot Kinney - this modernist home achieves the perfect balance of feeling both idyllically remote and right in the thick of the neighbourhood.

Irregular oval coffee tables, pitch-black tiled fireplaces, and lightshades that twist and turn into surrealist curves – nothing in this LA home is quite ordinary, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Natural light – and a glimpse of the blossom trees outside – streams through huge windows into the modern, minimalist space, illuminating the contemporary artworks and polished wooden furniture. Care is obvious in this home’s interiors and evidence of its thoughtful design is all-encompassing – soft linen sofas invite you to sit back, throw open the patio doors and let peace wash over you. One of the main allures of this home can be found in the garden, where you can share a pitcher of margaritas beneath the hanging lights and soak up the Californian heat. 

Whether you opt for revitalisation and seclusion in your Kinfolk Magazine-worthy home or sunbathing on the powdery sands of Venice Beach (only a cool twenty-minute walk away) you’re always blissfully engaged in Venice. Our perfect day means waking up with the sun on the deck, coffee and LA Times in hand, before exploring one of the many local galleries, or spending a quiet day in and out of Abbot Kinney Boulevard boutiques. Share a wood-fired pizza and market salad at Gjelina, then stop off at Salt & Straw for one of their famous challenging combinations - we like the Black Olive Brittle & Goat Cheese - before taking a walk around the wetland canals and Venice boardwalk. Your hard-earned day of exploration can be rewarded at one of Venice’s many delicious restaurants - NIGHT + MARKET Sahm if you’re feeling Thai larb and natural wine, Felix Trattoria for regional pasta dishes mastered in Bologna, or stock up on groceries at Erewhon, only a five-minute walk away, for a romantic dinner at home in the stunning mid-century dining room.

It’s easy to forget how big LA is, and that even places in Venice might be a half-hour walk from the beach. Hertford Union overlooks the canals, and the sea is less than five minutes away on foot. It’s big, the kind of thing that naturally comes to mind when you think of LA. There are white walls, terraces, greenery, exposed wood. It’s also kept in wonderful condition, and you can see that this is a matter of pride for the hosts, Trevor and Lauren.

A contemporary home with a seventies soul, this house just fifteen minutes from Venice Beach presents a stylish space to kick back in between exploring the sights of both Los Angeles and Santa Monica. 

Mid-century furnishings and bohemian designs are featured in an open plan layout, creating a sociable and stylish main living area and kitchen that overlooks the gorgeous garden. 

It's this leafy green setting that we particularly love about this home, where you'll find citrus trees, a swaying hammock and a laid-back lounge area – perfect for chilling out with a glass of Californian wine in hand. With a barbecue, fire pit and ping pong table to enjoy, you could easily spend long summer evenings in this haven of peace. 

If you do feel like venturing out, drive down to Venice beach to catch the sunset and a bite to eat, or better still, why not explore Santa Monica on two wheels? There's plenty of bike storage space if you decide to rent or bring your own bikes here.

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.

Beach Essentials

Even though this home has a bit of a New England feel to it, once you step outside, you will be in no doubt that it's in Santa Monica. It’s on a hidden walkway off the main road — which gives it a sense of privacy — and the beach is only two minutes' walk away. The Pier and Muscle Beach only takes ten on foot, too. Back inside, the interior has been designed to feel beachy but in a way you’d associate more with the East Coast — think vaulted ceilings, fireplaces and soft pastels. The huge kitchen will be a highlight for those with culinary talents and if the weather's nice — which we're going to wager it will be — you can serve up dinner outside on the private patio. Better still, there's a barbecue for grilling up some meaty flavours to grateful guests.


Breakwater

You’ll find this place situated a stone’s throw from Abbot Kinney Boulevard and within walking distance of Venice Beach. Elana, your world-travelling, cookbook-writing host, has expertly curated this home to inspire creativity and relaxation. There’s a cosy mezzanine level with an impressive vintage VHS and DVD collection and a private terrace for drinks alfresco. Naturally, the kitchen is well-appointed. The office is handy for business travellers, though keep in mind the space doubles as a bedroom at full capacity.

Ten blocks from white sandy beaches, or a short stroll away from the Venice Boardwalk, you'll never be short of activities at this Santa Monica home. Your attentive hosts have provided all the beach basics too – bags, chairs and beach towels. There’s a zen calm to the home, where a Baddha stands in prayer and sprouting grass adds a touch of natural green to the living room. Though you’re on the edge of the city here, big windows show off a view of trees. There’s a quiet little roof terrace, where greenery creeps over the wall and two comfy chairs provide the perfect cocktail spot. Up the spiral staircase, both bedrooms are decorated in the ink-black and parchment white of Japanese zen and the master has a desk in the sunny window.

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.

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.

You wouldn't typically associate Venice Beach with a quirky combo of steampunk and French gilt, but then Venice has always just done its own thing. This apartment manages to tactfully combine both aesthetics to create a bohemian vibe that fits right in with its creative and all-inclusive surroundings. And should you stay here, you'll certainly appreciate the 10ft-high ceilings, open floor plan, and shared outdoor garden space – complete with a hammock, outdoor seating and fire pit for atmospheric alfresco evenings. The quiet residential street is great for a restful night's sleep. However, you're close to the heart of the action – the many restaurants and cafes of Rose Ave, as well as the iconic Venice Beach Boardwalk are just a short stroll away.

Games Room

Nestled in the eclectic neighbourhood of Venice, this modern home is the perfect setting for a family holiday or a getaway with friends. The space is contemporary yet warm and inviting, with everything you need for a memorable LA stay. 

The outdoor space here is glorious. Tall hedges and trees shelter the garden, so it’s a secluded little oasis. Soak up the LA sunshine as you swim in the waterfall swimming pool or relax in the Jacuzzi. There’s also an outdoor fireplace, so you can spend alfresco evenings sipping wine and catching up. 

There’s a lovely indoor-outdoor vibe here, whether you’re enjoying your meals at the dining table with the sliding doors open, or spending quiet mornings sipping coffee curled up on the deck. We especially like that the kitchen faces out to the garden. 

Downstairs, you’ll find an incredible games room – it’s the home’s hidden gem. It includes a comfy lounge and its very own bar, as well as a shuffleboard table. Head out to dine in a chic restaurant on Abbot Kinney boulevard – it’s only a three-minute drive – and return here afterward for a nightcap or two. If all the sunshine makes you crave a day at the beach, you’re in luck. Santa Monica beach is just nine minutes away, so you can paddle in the shallows or stroll along the shore to your heart’s content.

Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

Venice Eclectic

Private Parking

This stylish home in Venice is the perfect getaway for a group of friends or a family. With Venice Beach within easy reach and the charms of Santa Monica a short drive away, there’s something to tick everyone’s holiday boxes in the local area. We love the home’s mix of vintage furniture and bold, contemporary art, giving it character. Sure, there’s no air conditioning here, but step outdoors and you can enjoy the warm LA breeze. And the best part? The patio and garden overlook the peaceful Venice Canals.

Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.
