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.

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.

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.

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. 

Friends In High Places

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.

Los Angeles is renowned as being one of the most exciting cities in the world and this apartment reflects the style and swagger that happens beyond its four walls.

As well as enjoying copious amounts of natural light from the windows, there's a sleek glamour to the interior design, with a tasteful selection of furnishings and light fixtures, plus a kitchen that's gleamingly bright and a treat to cook in – providing you actually enjoy cooking, obviously. The balcony off the living room offers both somewhere to cool off on warm afternoons and a view of palm trees and local rooftops, while you also have the option of hunkering down next to the fireplace during the cooler months.

You might be happy to hear that the local neighbourhood is pretty quiet, but there are livelier parts not too far away – ten minutes in the car will get you either to Santa Monica Beach or the refined streets of Beverly Hills in the other direction.

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 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.

Rooftop Terrace

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.

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.

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.

A 1940s bungalow on a quiet street, this Westwood home wouldn't look out of place in the English countryside. Everything from the white picket fence and the rose arch out front to the country kitchen and the classical furnishings seems perfectly in keeping, and there's even a vegetable plot out back where you're welcome to help yourself to anything in season. Arches play a big role in this charming little place, with arched windows and doorways, and there are chandeliers, antique furniture and plenty of soft rugs. The cosy living room comes with a log burning fireplace and the kitchen has high-end appliances and a warm, family feel. This is LA so you're likely to be spending much of your time out on the porch, where you can eat together before stepping down to the firepit area to enjoy a few drinks before bed. With a handful of bars and restaurants within a short walk and much of the city an easy drive away, there's no end to the attractions and eateries on offer.

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

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. 

Spirit Of Bohemia

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. 

The Chiaroscuro

Private Dryer

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

Just a short distance from the iconic Santa Monica beach, this home is nestled perfectly in the quiet suburbia of LA. With a wealth of cosy charm, a private pool and a fresh, welcoming atmosphere, this beautiful home is the perfect resting point for an amazing Los Angeles extravaganza. The living area is particularly inviting, with its lovely library and fresh, white furnishings that mirror the bright walls and ceiling. The homely charm makes this perfect for families, as well as adventurers looking for a quiet home base.

Spend your days in the glorious Californian sun at the home's own beach, before heading out to tread the boards of the Santa Monica Pier, and relaxing on the neighbouring Santa Monica beach, listening to the gentle whoosh of melodic waves as the sun beats down. Within a short fifteen-minute drive, you can also reach the star-studded streets of Beverly Hills, where opportunities for fine dining, cocktail sampling, shopping and sightseeing can be found around every corner, and the chance of bumping into your favourite celebrity become very real.

This Rustic Canyon home is stunning. It’s perfectly placed on a corner lot close to State Beach and Rustic Canyon Park, making it ideal for those wanting to enjoy the Great Outdoors. There are manicured gardens and an expansive rooftop deck, where there’s an outdoor fireplace and plenty of room for socialising. The grounds also feature a striking architectural tree house with a seating area and an office. Inside, you’ll find hardwood floors and beamed wooden ceilings. The bedrooms are elegant and tranquil, and the informal living and family room make this a great choice for those travelling with children. 

Canyon Hideaway

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.

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. 

A Peachy Life

Courtyard

We love this home both for its incredible location and impeccable styling – your oasis will be just a five-minute walk from the canals, eight minutes from the dining and shopping of Abbot Kinney Boulevard and a fifteen-minute walk from the beach. Back at home, start your day with yoga or stretching on the beautifully green rooftop terrace with a view of the neighbourhood. Then head down to the kitchen, fix yourself some breakfast and coffee, ferrying it out to the chic garden to enjoy. Inside, the home has a beautiful modern design to it, with polished concrete walls and large grided windows. The space feels bright and clear-headed at the same time as it’s inviting and cosy – especially with the giant velvet blue velvet in the living area. Peruse the shelves lined with art books, before plopping down onto the sofa for an afternoon read. At the end of the day, comfortable, bright bedrooms await with the promise of restful sleep.

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

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.

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.

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.
