It's likely my availability will be minimal, so it is best to dialogue before you arrive. I am available by phone almost always and am offline from Friday afternoon to Saturday night weekly and not available by phone or email then.

If you like to walk and have time, there is ample opportunity.
Uber and Lyft typically arrive quickly and can provide transportation, and bus stops are a block away. The expo line, a five-minute drive or 20-minute walk, can whisk you across town in about 45 minutes. If you have a car, street parking is almost always available with a permit.
The beach bungalow is surrounded by an organic vegetable garden and lush plants. You will likely see birds and squirrels during your stay and occasionally a raccoon or even a possum.
The neighborhood is magic. It is a wonderful place to explore and relax after a day of work.

Summary: The location of the charming bungalow was perfect, and the owner was very nice. Because I am 65+, it would have been nice to have a comfortable arm chair for reading rather than the desk.

Summary: Rental was charming, clean, and well stocked with what we needed for our stay. Only a minute’s walk to the beach but still pretty quiet. We slept so well. The beds were quite comfortable. We will definitely return if we visit Santa Monica in the future.

Summary: Stating in this VRBO, we walked every day to the beach, restaurants, Santa Monica Pier, and more. The property location is perfect and a very short walk to the beach. We did not need (nor want) a car our entire stay.

Summary: The location is unbeatable! Very close to the beach, which is exactly what my daughter wanted. The owner also has beach chair and board to use which is a bonus. Owner is very prompt in answering any questions you have. The room decoration is what we like as well. I would have given a 5 star overall if the room can smell a little bit fresher.
