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.

About Marina del Rey
The largest man-made marina in the US, Marina del Rey consists mainly of large condo towers and apartment complexes, thousands of boats of all sizes, and a curious population of sea lions. The entire neighbourhood feels artificially constructed (probably because it is) and lacks a cohesive feeling, but it's hard to beat the views and location. While not a dining paradise in its own right, Marina del Rey – or...
