The place was great. Really cute. My daughter loved it. The shower was kinda weird with half door shower wall. The water got all over the floor so the towel mat was soaked. The parking was a little inconvenient and it made it so I didn't want to drive anywhere and i door dashed food and groceries instead. Maybe if you don't plan on leaving just get groceries before check-in. Was really quick to get to the boardwalk and beach. I'd definitely stay again.

Pros: 1) amazing location a block from the beach. 2) Outdoor seating area also lovely, private. 3) television with Roku including premium channels was great to relax after a day out 4) easily able to adjust temperature in the unit Cons: 1) poor communication with manager. The pull out sofa bed in the living room broke the second day we were there. I immediately emailed the manager (their preferred form of communication) and heard back that the cleaning crew would bring a rollaway bed the next day. They never came and the manager didn’t respond to any other emails from me, so my daughter had to spend the next four nights sleeping on the couch cushions alone. 2) poor amenities in the unit. When I travel with my husband and three daughters, we always book a place with a kitchen so we can make our own breakfasts, generally cereal with milk, yogurt, fruit, granola, bagels. This kitchen had a cracked cereal bowl that leaked milk everywhere. It had incredibly dull knives which slid off the sides of apples rather than slicing. It had no cloth dish towels, only one roll of paper towels. It had a Brita-type water pitcher in the refrigerator but the filter was missing. 3) the light bulbs were missing from the bedroom side lamps, and the ceiling light had only one of the two or three bulbs working, so that room was really dark. 4) all bathroom toiletries and kitchen supplies are clearly from the dollar store, so be sure to bring your own.

Cute condo. It fit my entire family comfortably (6 of us) Great location! Very close to the beach and max travel for all the attractions was about 35 min! Overall I was very happy with my stay! No complaints! There are a lot of homeless around but we felt very safe where we stayed

Honestly, I was so impressed with how quickly the host would respond to my questions. This place is less than a block away from the beach. My 3 boys loved it. We walked the boardwalk daily. We cooked lunch in the kitchen that had everything. It was an amazing spot. I’ll definitely be staying here again.

Location was ideal...walking distance to beach, boardwalk, piers, and restaurants. Building is secured front and back. Condo is small for price and extra fees. There is no parking on site, even though there's a $20 parking fee per night. The spot is around 5 blocks down the street in a ramp, which they don't indicate that in the posting. Its a inconvenient if you have kids with or bags to carry back and forth.

Hello Ka,Thank you for your review! Our parking is off site as stated on the booking site and registration form. However we do offer a temporary loading and unloading zone in the back of the property for convenience to drop off luggages.

Hello Bryan! Thank you for allowing us to host you in Venice! The AC was not running as you had placed it at 77”- the inside temperature was 65” degrees. In order for the AC to run, it would need to be placed at a lower level from the inside temperature. For example- if the inside temp is 65” it would need to be placed at 64” to run. However 65” degrees is very cold. Thank you for letting us know about the refrigerator. Unfortunately this noise had only started upon your reservation. We do apologize for any inconvenience.

Hello Kimberly! Thank you for your review! However we are not sure why we were rated a 1 star when you had no issues during your stay. Unfortunately we had issues at the time of your departure with damages of linens, stove knobs and cleanliness of unit. We had to discard all of our linens due to stains that could not come off, 1 of our stove knobs was broken off and left on the floor, there was food, sand and trash left all over the floor. Our unit required a deep clean for our next guest. Thank you.

Excellent location in really great part of LA
Location to the beach and restaurants was 5/5. Check out food on Rose Ave. Close to Abbet Kinney Blvd with all the boutiques etc. Condo was good clean and comfortable. Condo is a little tired looking but acceptable. These are my complaints that should be a pretty easy fix. No paper towels or any other type of kitchen clothes or towels. The coffee maker worked but the filters were the wrong ones for the machine and the machine lid was broken. Needs a new frying pan and the cutlery /utensils are the cheapest you can buy. A quick trip to GoodWill could fix that. Salt and pepper wouldn’t hurt. That’s it. I recommend staying here! Accessing the property was easy. The beach is right there. Also we just did free street parking on Main Street 5 min walk away. Check out The Win-Dow at American Beauty Restaurant for great burgers and chicken sandwiches. We had dinner in their ‘Garden’ and that was good too.

The check-in process is not smooth. I filled out the emailed form weeks prior. Noticed that they would email all the codes for doors and gates ONE HOUR prior to check in. I emailed asking if I could get this info a day early because I was driving from a great distance and wanted the info prior to me standing at the gate searching my emails. I'm a mom with two teens in tow and wanted a quick and smooth check in given the area. NO response and then frantic emails about no selfie was submitted and the credit card I was using was not processing. Just extra stress while traveling and would have been handled better the day prior to arrival. Place has thin walls, could hear the conversation upstairs word for word. Parking is two blocks away, BLOCKS not streets. Not great at night to be walking back from the parking garage while homeless are wandering about. Kitchen is poorly stocked. NO oven mits or hot pads, no dish towels just paper towels, no baking sheet or baking pan. Dishwasher didn't work well. A bag of ice in the freezer that was a block of ice cubes that fused together. Bathroom needs a good deep clean on the tile floor, the grout is dark black in the center of the room, the sides it is a lighter tan. Tiles missing, bathtub needs to be re -chauked. The high tub was not easy to get in and out of for the shower. Towels are basic hotel grade. Would benifit from some nice bath rugs in the bathroom. Twin beds are the couch in the living room.

Entrance lock was broken
The main door lock entrance to the complex was broken the whole time we stayed there for 4 nights. We called the property manager first day and they said the handyman will fix it but it never happened. So the door was open and the area had lots of homeless. We felt very unsafe at nights as there was no security to the complex. The parking was 10 min walk and very inconvenient. Specially at night with homeless ppl in street. The location was good though close to the beach.

The unit itself was fine; well stocked kitchen, etc. But the online checkin was a huge waste of time and energy. I was told to submit a selfie for ID purposes. I did. I later got an email saying if I didn't submit the selfie, I couldn't check in. I resubmitted it, asked for confirmation. Received the confirmation. Then on checkin day, instead of receiving the entry code for the unit, I got a message saying I couldn't get the code because I hadn't submitted a selfie...

We had an excellent mother/daughter weekend at this location. Note that parking is a few blocks away however easy to navigate. The bathroom had not enough toilet paper (we purchased no problem) and since laundry facilities were not working we had limited towels - partly because there were no bathroom rugs and we had to use a couple towels to avoid slipping etc. The shower tub is very tall making it awkward to get in and out of and water easily got on the floor. There is no hand bar to hold and I feel older people may have great difficulty with it. In addition there were a few bugs (not bedbugs) found in the home throughout the stay. All of these things were minor and the location is absolutely perfect for navigating to the beach and shopping.

I had an overall pleasant stay at Venice Vacation condos. It was conveniently located near the beach. The place was clean but there was a lot of gnats. The kitchen was nice but a little outdated and the dishwasher didn't work. The water pressure in the shower was weak. Overall I would stay again if visiting the area.

Cute place for college kids- not a family. Didn't share ahead of time that the 2 twin beds were actually part of the couch. The kitchen supplies were a joke. There wasn't even an icecube tray to make ice- they literally left a sandwich bag of ice in the freezer. There were no utensils to cook with, let alone hand towels or pot holders. The grill was disgusting- but you couldn't cook on it anyways as you have no grill tools- not a single set of tongs. All the dishes & silverware had to be rewashed. There was a lot of dust on the shelf in the kitchen and it had these weird pink lights over the stove- so if you were attempting to cook you couldn't tell if it was done. THe parking was 6 blocks away. The tub/shower was the highest tub you have ever seen and difficult to get in and out of; even for young healthy people. The beds were ok; some of the linens were obviously overused and in need of replacement. The whole place smelt of weed.Location was great though

The view is a neighbors wall. The place had no paper towel, sponge, salt or pepper in the kitchen, very bare. The bathtub was SUPER slippery!, we asked for an anti slip mat, but got no reply during our stay. Other than that, the place was clean and we had a pleasant stay. The parking is quite far away from the place. Loading/unloading at the condo can only happen if two people are there, since one person has to stay with the car at all time.

Hello Jamarr, Thank you for your review. Upon reviewing our past phone calls, we do see you called 1 time at 11PM on the day of arrival. We do ask to please double call during after hours ( after 6PM ) and to leave a voicemail and we will return the phonecall by the next day. No double call or voicemail was left. We also do ask to please send an email as well. Upon reviewing we see you did not send us an email through out your stay nor was a phonecall given the day after expressing any concern. We would have gladly assigned our cleaner to return. It is unfortunate that we were not given an opportunity. Thank you

Hello Francisco! Thank you for your review.On the day of your checkin-before your checkin time we had called you and advised of the unfortunate situation of our water heater breaking down. We had given you 2 options - 1- cancel and receive a full refund 2- we were willing to provide a 25% refund per night if you decided to stay. You chose option 2. It is unfortunate to receive this review when you chose to stay and were also given a partial refund per night for the inconvenience. We would have appreciated if you would have mentioned your decision and also the refund you were given. Thank you!
