Beautiful and Spacious 1 Bed, Steps to the Beach!
Guest rating: 4.6 / 5
Overview
This is a newly remodeled one-bedroom apartment on the Marina Peninsula in Los Angeles, located less than a 30-second walk from the sand. It occupies a quiet residential stretch between Venice Beach, Marina Del Rey, and Santa Monica, giving guests beach access right outside the door while remaining close to the area's dining and nightlife. The unit is entered through a private front door, offering guests exclusive use of the apartment and access to shared patio seating in the common area.
Rooms & Interior
The apartment features a large living room with a comfortable couch and a streaming Roku TV, opening directly into a fully renovated kitchen with new stainless steel appliances, an oven/stove, and microwave. The bedroom has a memory-foam queen bed, and the full bathroom serves the unit. New flooring throughout rounds out the recent remodel.
Amenities
In-unit conveniences include a full kitchen, washer, ironing board, crib, and heating, making it practical for longer or family stays. Outdoor features include a private balcony and an outdoor grill, and the property is smoke-free, pet-friendly, and kid-friendly. Free Wi-Fi and free parking for one car are also included.
Dining & Nearby Food
The location puts guests within a short walk of numerous restaurants and bars, including The Venice Whaler, Nalu Vida Venice Beach, Baja Cantina, Mercedes Bar & Grille, Charcoal Venice, Beachside Restaurant & Bar, and Belles Beach House, covering everything from casual beach bar fare to Japanese and Mexican cuisine.
Location & Getting Around
Beach access is immediate, and three bus stops (Pacific/Driftwood, Pacific Ave & Washington Blvd, and Washington Blvd & Pacific Ave) are all within a few hundred meters. Santa Monica Airport is the closest airport at roughly 4.4 km, with Los Angeles International Airport about 6.5 km away. Washington Blvd, three blocks off, offers shops, restaurants, and nightlife, plus proximity to the Venice Pier.
Best for
This apartment suits beachgoers and couples or small families wanting an immediate beach-access stay, thanks to its sub-30-second walk to the sand and private balcony. Pet owners will appreciate the pet-friendly policy, while the kitchen, washer, and crib make it workable for longer stays or families traveling with young children. It's also a fit for travelers who prefer walkable access to restaurants and nightlife over a full-service hotel experience, given the short walk to Washington Blvd's dining scene and the Venice Pier."
Travel tips
Walking or ride-share is the easiest way to get around given the beachfront location, but free parking for one car is available on-site if needed. The Washington Blvd bus route is just a few blocks away, and renting a bike or scooter is a convenient way to explore Venice, Santa Monica, and Marina Del Rey. Guests headed to or from the airport should note Santa Monica Airport is nearest at about 4.4 km, while LAX is roughly 6.5 km away.
What guests say
Guests consistently praise the unbeatable beachfront location, describing it as steps from the sand with easy access to nearby restaurants and nightlife. Reviewers also highlight the newly remodeled interior, comfortable memory-foam queen bed, and responsive, easy communication from the host. Cleanliness is generally noted as a strength, though at least one review pointed to lapses such as an unclean freezer and a limited towel supply, suggesting some inconsistency in housekeeping detail. Overall sentiment remains strongly positive, with guests frequently expressing intent to return.
