Location is superb, and is a very short distance to the beach (there is path taking you directly to the beach). The place is clean, new looking and tastefully furnished. The one thing to be aware of is that the master bedroom does not have full curtains, so there is light in the morning (that didn't bother us, but may for some, the host provided eye masks if need be). All in all an amazing place. ##### MT H. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy J.

Our group of three moms + four teens had a wonderful stay at this house. The house is lovely and nicely appointed. We took advantage of the Jacuzzi, the paddleboat, the bikes. We made a couple of meals in the kitchen, which was nicely appointed. It is such a privilege to be able to stay directly on the Venice canals. They are quiet and beautiful and fun to explore. We were able to make a day at Venice Beach and Santa Monica without needing to get in the car. Highly recommend! ##### Alison F. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adam J.

The home is an architectural gem, modernized for all creature comforts, and appointed with luxurious furnishings and lovely amenities (soaps, towels, etc.). Also provided are bicycles and a pedal boat to tool around the canals in the gorgeous Venice weather. My sister and nephew joined us from NJ for a weekend retreat and it is a memory that will last forever. Thanks to Ben and his family for a wonderful stay! ##### Adam J.

Fantastic house. Beds super comfortable and cozy, clean linens. Awesome showers! Hot tub was clean and well maintained. Though it’s older with no real jets per se, it is very private and in an outdoor space so you can see the sky and unwind. I loved it! Great decks to relax and people watch walking the canals. 10 minute, easy stroll to the beach or Abbot Kinney. Bikes in the garage were great to ride to Santa Monica pier or Manhattan Beach. Washer&Dryer = awesome! Costco and Trader Joe’s nearby. Lots of great restaurants nearby. Very spacious with plenty of room and a great kitchen. The only downside to the house is there are no windows that open in the master bedroom so you have to leave the French doors to the balcony open which allows sand flies and mosquitos in. We did utilize the fan to keep their little wings flapping away and for the most part, that worked but we did end up with a few bites. It did not distract from the beauty and loveliness of the home. We will return to this little slice of heaven! Enjoy! ##### Diana Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert K.

We hope to return. ##### Stephen P. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janessa M. Apr 22, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### My stay at Bens home Ben was extremely accommodating, we had ran into some issues with booking, Ben went above and beyond to ensure my stay was booked. Ben communicated amazingly and the house was IMPECCABLE! My fiancé and I were lost for words, the photos do not do the home any justice. It was fully stocked with pots, pans and toiletries. Overall 5/5 stay, highly recommend. Hands down one of the best home rentals I have ever stayed in. ##### Janessa M. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Britta H. Jul 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Vacation Perfection Every year my super active, always traveling family searches for a setting that will inspire and keep everyone engaged and together for at least a week. It's a big ask with 3 teenage boys, 3 midlife parents, and two octogenarian grandparents who all love nature, culture, design, and exercise. Ben's beautiful home on the canals hit every note. It is gorgeous and generous and the perfect place to cook beautiful meals and watch a California sunset. The neighborhood is quiet and funky. The home is every bit as cool as the pictures and Ben is a fantastic and responsive host. Our teenage boys rated the home and the trip a 10 out of 10\. If you know anything about teenage boys, that makes this place a unicorn. Thank you, Ben! ##### Britta H. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Lucy S. Apr 16, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy #### Extremely disappointed. The house isn't worth the cost and we feel ripped off. The main problem is the owner, Ben, who is incompetent and dishonest: We booked the house through Vrbo. Later, I received an email from Ben saying he’d “accidentally” cancelled our booking - but we were "welcome to rebook" if we’d like. I immediately tried rebooking but suddenly the price was about $1000 more than what we originally booked it for! I queried this with Ben who told me the price had gone up. Normally, we’d have run a mile from this kind of scam, but it was so soon before our flights that we had little other choice of accommodation. The hot tub was filthy. I emailed Ben and he said it had been cleaned the previous day (an obvious lie). He sent his ‘maintenance man’ (who later turned out to be his dad) to clean it. The tub appeared to be clean that night, but when we went to use it again two days later, it was again filthy. Ben did offer to clean it again, but the moments had passed for us wanting to use it. I emailed Ben to check that the bikes would be available and he assured me that 2 new bikes would be there. There were 3 bikes, all of which were more or less unrideable. One appeared to be new, while the others were rust buckets. We ended up hiring bikes. The property has a Nespresso coffee machine. I emailed Ben before arriving after if the property had a French press. He said he’d get one. When we arrived, there wasn’t one. I emailed Ben and he said that he’d put it there the day before (which he clearly hadn’t). However, the next day, one was delivered (along with coffee and a bottle of champagne). the cushions on the patio were soaking when we arrived so we could not use them. we couldn’t turn the fire pit on. More emails sent to Ben to ask for instructions. It would have been so much easier to have some brief instructions, rather than my holiday being wasted with emailing Ben. one of the Alexas didn’t work. I emailed Ben about this, who told me (wrongly) they were working. Other smaller problems: the house is noisy, with little privacy. The main bedroom has an open window onto the sitting room, so noise carries between the 2 rooms. there are hardly any blinds in the bedrooms, so it is very light in the mornings, waking us up. the boat was so filthy we didn’t use it. why only 4 coffee mugs in a house of this size? it would have been nice to put some pepper in the pepper pot. Positives: the house is in a good location, the living space is good and the beds are comfortable. ##### Lucy S.
