There are so many fantastic, shared amenities to mention at this home’s 100-plus acre oceanfront resort, that we could be here for some time. Facilities include several pools, a spa and fitness centre, beach access, a golf course and more (fees apply). What about the villa itself? We love the private patio overlooking the ocean and golf course and you’ll also find a hot tub too. A couple of things to mention – one bedroom can only be accessed via the courtyard. And at full capacity, two guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the family room. The location, we have to say, is great – Los Angeles and many other attractions are within driving distance.

This lovingly restored 1940s retreat has been a family home for almost three decades. Packed with intriguing artefacts from around the world, every inch is bursting with character and charm. The owner is also an interior designer and sculptor – make sure to play a tune on the upright piano, which is a relic from her childhood. Each bedroom is cosy and well-sized (particularly the main suite), while the many lounges – including an office space – ensure there's a quiet spot for everyone. We're also big fans of tropical terraces and patios. With Manhattan Beach and the Strand both within easy walking distance, it's no surprise we fell hook, line, and sinker.

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

A sensational property located directly on Manhattan Beach, this head-turning home is a designer's dream. The cutting-edge glass exterior contrasts nicely with the wood and stone elements inside, which serve to connect you to the natural beauty on show through the double-height floor-to-ceiling windows. The secluded bedrooms allow for a certain amount of privacy. However, it's worth noting that the third bedroom is accessed through a hatch in the ceiling of the second – which certainly makes the prospect of going to bed a lot more exciting for the kids. The communal areas are inviting and cosy and do everything possible to orientate you towards those incredible vistas. So grab a glass of wine and watch the waves roll in as the setting sun reflects off your sleek beach house.

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.

There’s an art to California living and this home may be the perfect spot to master it. Just three short blocks from the ocean in Manhattan Beach, its sophisticated beach-vibe styling is fresh and comfortable, and there are two balconies to take in the salty sea air. Exposed brickwork and mid-century modern furnishings set the tone in the open-plan living area and kitchen, and just out on the little balcony, there's a grill so you can cook outdoors on fine days. Follow the light up another flight of stairs to the master bedroom and you’ll discover the real heart of the home. A canvas of blue will hold your gaze as you stare out onto panoramic views of the ocean and coastline (hello Catalina Island). With its reclaimed wood floors, vaulted ceilings and soft tones, it's a stylish space made all the more inviting by its lounge area and luxury bathroom. Step outside and this balcony was made for peaceful morning coffees. Nearby, there are plenty of dining options on your doorstep, and from here it's easy to rent bikes and cruise the oceanfront bicycle path that stretches for miles. An evening walk on the strand after dinner is sure to be a memorable experience, just be sure to make it back in time to watch the sunset from your balcony.

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.

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.

Wonderfully unique and adorned with plenty of artistic furnishings and decor, Pop Icon is a reimagined home from the 1920s with a distinct twenty-first-century feel. Experience breathtaking sunsets on the back patio, gaze out towards the Hollywood sign from the upstairs loft, or play a few games of air hockey in the yard while overlooking the bright lights of Los Angeles. With its fully equipped kitchen, cosy living area and three comfortable bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, Pop Icon welcomes up to six guests to spend a few relaxing days exploring all that Los Angeles has to offer.

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.

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. 

Calcite

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.

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 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

Bearcat was born in the roaring twenties but has been carefully reimagined as a modern living arrangement. Some parts of the original setup have survived, like the study with a lovely view of the surroundings – with a typewriter to inspire your creative side – and the occasional retro-futuristic hints. This is a bright home with an atypical layout which means each room has its own character, but the whole look is neatly tied together. Bearcat is a great home for those on their first trip to Los Angeles and we recommend starting your day on the balcony, watching the city wake up over a nice cup of coffee. Avoid the rush hour and drive to Downtown LA a little later, soaking in the sights and exploring the culinary scene. In the evening, return to your not-so-humble abode and relax in the lounge while watching a classic Hollywood movie.

Bearcat

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.

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.

Outdoor Pool

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

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.

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.

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.

There are some places where you step inside and you just feel instantly at home. Like walking through the doors of this beautiful home in Long Beach. Perhaps it’s the spirit of Southern California or the peaceful neighbourhood atmosphere, but there’s something about this space that makes it easy to relax. 

From cooking in the kitchen to curling up with a book in the bedroom, this home has been thoughtfully designed to inspire a sense of comfort. But it’s also filled with charm and character – there are unique touches throughout the space. You’ll love taking long soaks in the vintage bathtub or spending evenings sipping drinks on the patio. 

Families and groups of friends will love this area. Days can be spent shopping and dining in Bixby knolls – just a three–minute drive, or down at Shoreline Village and Junipero Beach, a thirteen–minute drive. Art lovers won’t want to miss the contemporary works on display at the Museum of Latin American Art – an eight–minute drive away. 

As the sunsets across the oceanfront, you’ll love the feeling of coming home to light up the grill on the patio and share a special evening in true California style.

The Garden Blossom

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.
