Guesthouse vacation rentals in Santa Monica

We loved our stay. The location in Culver City was unbeatable, the view and outdoor landscaping was gorgeous, and the apartment was so relaxing and peaceful. We hope we get to stay again!

Chad and Lara’s place is absolutely stunning. We will definitely come back soon!

Every instruction was very clear, and if I had any questions, the hosts were extremely attentive. I really appreciated how thorough the instructions were, both communicated in advance and some printed inside. Everything inside was immaculate, and there was a nice patio space to sit outside. The stove & fridge were as clean as new. Nice tv, multiple streaming services available, and reliable WiFi. The restaurant ‘El Burrito Jr.’ was less than 20 yards away from my door, and the food was amazing. I didn’t need any of the beach items but it was great to know they’re available if I visited again, not on business. The beach is a 5 minute walk away. I wouldn’t hesitate to schedule with them again. Every element of my visit there was stellar. I felt so at home, my business trip felt like a vacation when I was there.

I was in town for a work convention but had a wonderful stay at Christine’s place. The home is comfortable and clean and Christine was a very considerate and friendly host. It is located in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood. Its central to many amenities. Maybe 10 minutes from the Anaheim convention center and Disney. 1-1.5 hr to LA. 20 minutes to the coast. 20 minutes to the Santa Ana airport. Lots of great restaurants in the area. Cute downtown shopping. I would definitely stay again if in the area.

We had a wonderful stay at Paul Henry's guest house tucked away in their beautiful garden. It was comfortable and thoughtfully put together: plenty of outlets and charging cables for different devices; shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel in the shower; a great coffee maker with a reusable filter. Paul’s communication and clear instructions made settling in a breeze. The location is also fantastic—it’s rare to be able to walk around so easily in LA!

It was a great experience for us, David was very friendly and flexible with check-in which was a life saver for us. I would recommend and will be glad to return in the future. Very walkable.

Michael and Laura were fabulous hosts. Before I checked in, they sent me a message asking about my favorite drink -- so that they could have it waiting for me! I felt like I arrived to a secret garden, with a darling welcome sign at the front door. The entrance feels fully private and the area is so quiet. The space is thoughtfully stocked, with everything I needed for cooking, showering, sleeping, relaxing. Michael checked in to see that I had everything I needed and was quick to respond when I texted about best walkable grocery stores or scenic walks. They are a perfect combination of warm and attentive, while also respecting privacy. This is my favorite Airbnb I've ever stayed. And I hope to come back again! Seriously cannot thank them enough for a wonderful time and for sharing their incredible space with me! Hugs to you both -- fabulous job!

My friend and I had a great stay in LA. The Airbnb was in a great location which felt safe and was walking distance of a bus route that took us into LA or down to Venice Beach. The place was clean and supplied with everything: kitchen essentials, hair and body wash, and extra towels and blankets. The host was very responsive and always warned us ahead of time if he was going to be in the garden at all. The dog was lovely too! Thank you!

Cute and stylish little studio in a beautiful neighbourhood. The bed and pillows are extremely comfortable, and the surroundings are quiet which is important to me as a light sleeper. The studio is small, as described, so I’d say it’s perfect for a short stay 2-4 days and appropriate for those who like to be out most of the time. Lauren is so lovely and met us on check in and said goodbye when we checked out - a personal touch which we appreciated. Also appreciated the snacks she left in the studio especially since we got in rather late. I’d stay again for sure!

Alina’s bungalow is an amazing retreat to canyon views with easy access to restaurants and shops. With personalized treatment and a comfortable environment, it’s a welcome respite from the valley.

This space is amazing! The outdoor front yard really makes the place. We were with small kiddos and they loved being outside and hanging out watching the planes coming in. Ernesto was very communicative and the inside had everything you would need. We had such a great time and are hoping to book it again in the future. Great place and host!

I had an excellent stay for a week. Friendly and gracious hosts, the studio has great natural light, a lovely backyard, and was a quiet and comfy place to sleep. The neighborhood is pretty and residential. Meeting the sweetheart dogs of the house was a bonus!

Gideon & Michelle’s space is lovely, safe, and clean, just as described in the listing. They’re also super warm and friendly which made the stay even more enjoyable. We especially love the fact that they have a designated parking spot. The super cute handwritten note with the welcome basket was just the cherry on top. Would def book again!

Great central location if you’re planning to explore all of LA has to offer! Easy street parking. Very responsive and friendly host.

this place was beautiful! It was super peaceful, especially as a woman I felt safe. The garden outside was so pretty and the space itself is just overall extremely comfortable. Both of the hosts are extremely nice people! I would stay here again:)

A super location to be close to our new grandson. We enjoyed the privacy , the fully loaded kitchen, spacious accommodations, proximity were a huge advantage over booking a hotel. Very comfortable. Street parking in front of the house was easy and available.

Very peaceful and beautiful. Loved the comfortable bedding and jacuzzi!

This place was perfect to stay at for a weekend. Nestled in the mountains just a few minutes from the main road, the drive up is steep and narrow, which made it feel like a real adventure. It’s also only a short drive to the town, which is super cute and fun to walk around — lots of small shops to explore. The Airbnb is very private with stunning views, and the photos are exactly what it looks like. I loved sitting outside in the mornings, listening to the birds and watching wildlife. There’s a hiking trail right behind the property too. The space was spotless and beautifully decorated — cozy bed, comfy couch, and a great kitchen with fridge, stove, utensils, etc (though no microwave). I’d suggest grabbing groceries in LA, about 15 minutes away, since the local store is small. There was no Wi-Fi and I had no phone signal at the Airbnb, but I didn’t mind since I wanted to unplug. I could walk just a minute down the road to get service if needed. I loved this place, it was magical.

Ray and Andrea were amazing. They communicated very well, made everything easy, and have an adorable property. We had a couple of encounters with them and they were pleasant and friendly, as well as messages in which they were also great. I highly recommend this property and the hosts, it was well worth it.

This is our 3rd time staying with Anoush and she never disappoints us. The space is immaculate and very comfortable. There's even a private outdoor space for nice days. Kitchen is well stocked with cooking pans and utensils. Bed is comfortable. It's the best Air BnB we've stayed in. Highly recommend!

Great hosts, awesome spot. Loved it

We were very happy with the space - comfortable, perfect size for a couple, and in a convenient central location for exploring LA. It’s about a 10 minute drive to downtown culver and even has a few cafes / restaurants within walking distance. The hosts were very responsive and even accommodated our request for early check in. Would recommend this listing to anyone looking to stay in the area.

Michelle was very welcoming and respectful of my privacy. Her dogs are the sweetest and give the best greetings when entering the property. They were well trained and never in the way. Definitely looking forward to my next stay with Michelle!

This peaceful hideaway was the most gorgeous Bnb I’ve ever stayed at. Hayley is an extraordinary host, and provided not only a beautiful space but went above and beyond with amenities such as beach towels, coffee, tea, and extra linens available. She provided super helpful directions, and even reminded us to download offline maps ahead of our stay as this beautiful space is tucked in the mountains away from cell reception. She was even so kind as to accommodate a late checkout for us on short notice. My partner and I have already decided to rebook this Bnb for our future travels to LA! I cannot recommend this space enough, for the beautiful space, the gorgeous views, and our kind and helpful host Hayley. Thank you again!!
