About this property

HEART HOUSE AT THE BEACH! 1 block from the beach in our comfy bungalow.

Heart House is located in Santa Monica Canyon. A stunning area at the north end of Santa Monica. Our house is just a block to the beach and only a 4 minute walk to the world famous Will Rogers Beach, also known as “Bay Watch Beach". We are excited to announce that Will Rogers State Beach just received an A rating for water quality from Heal the Bay. This charming bungalow is perfect for couples or families with 2 children. Two Bedrooms, two bathrooms, a King size bed in the Master Bedroom and two twins in the 2nd Bedroom. We are happy to accommodate 5 people as long as one is a small child that can use a pack and play. House features include complete privacy behind beautiful Redwood Fence and Gate. There is a spacious Indoor/Outdoor Room for entertaining and relaxing. Other features include Free Wi-Fi High Speed Internet connectivity, DirectTV, all new Stainless Steel appliances, 50' LED Flat screen HD television, beautiful floor to ceiling brick gas Fireplace in the Living Room, a four person Jacuzzi Hot Tub and mini ping pong table for the kids. Parking is provided for one car on the property as well as ample street parking.

The Heart House does not have central air conditioning. We do have a portable unit that we can set up for you. It will cool the master bedroom down but not the whole house. Because we are located so close to the beach we rarely even need it. All the rooms are equipped with ceiling fans that do a wonderful job cooling the rooms.
Seven restaurants are easily accessible within a 2 minute walk, as well as a small market and liquor store.
No keys to deal with or lose during your stay. Both the Front Gate and Front Door to the house is controlled by an Electronic Door lock and both use the same pass-code, for your convenience! You simply get a 4 digit code to make your stay that much easier.

The Santa Monica Canyon, historically known for its artists writers, and musicians as well as Hollywood industry types, retains a charm and casual sophistication for which Los Angeles is so famous. You will immediately feel relaxed and at home.
Not only is your ideal vacation bungalow close to the beach, but you also have easy access to Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades, Malibu and all of Los Angeles, including West Los Angeles, Westwood, Brentwood and all of Western Los Angeles County. UCLA, Pepperdine, The Getty Museum, Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica, Westwood, Beverly Hills, Hollywood and Universal Studios are all an easy drive. And Six Flags Magic Mountain, Disneyland and Knott’s Berry Farm are all within an hour’s drive. And if Art and Culture is your thing, there are too many places to list here within an hour’s drive.

Exceptional property in a heavenly location
We have been to Los Angeles numerous times, but have never stayed near the beach. After a month at the Heart House in Santa Monica Canyon, we will never stay anywhere else. The house was just perfect, with every single amenity provided. Lisa and Colette were helpful and readily available at all times. We fell in love with Santa Monica Canyon: beach walks and big rides, sunsets, and secret stairs. Highly, highly recommend!

Great family place
Stayed here over Christmas with my wife and two daughters. Great location, close to everything: the beach, Santa Monica waterfront and shopping, PCH and other highways, etc. Location was quiet and private. Overall, an excellent place that we'd book again.

About the host

Host profile image
The owners of this lovely beach bungalow chose us to represent their property to help guarantee your stay in their home will be a vacation dream come true. We both live and work in Santa Monica and love being part of this amazing beach community. We have a wealth of information about the area and are here to assist you in any way we can.

Why they chose this property

You can walk everywhere. If your #1 priority is the beach walk down the block, through the tunnel and you've arrived. Do you like Fine Dining, rustic Italian, Margaritas and Mexican Food? You'll pass them all on the way to the beach! Forgot your sunscreen, razor or missing your favorite magazine? That too is a short walk away at your local convenience store. Our property is perfect for young families. With a fully gated front yard you can let the kids run around while you relax on the front porch or in the hot tub.

What makes this property unique

The Heart House is the perfect vacation spot because you never have to use your car once you arrive. You can rent bikes right on the bike path and ride up and down the coast or walk to the beach and neighborhood restaurants and bars. Or...it is the perfect location to use as a home base as you explore the many different attractions this world class city has to offer. You choose!
