Perfect place to stay for a girl’s getaway
The location was perfect, close to the beach and shops. The house had everything you could need, soaps, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, coffee, tea, laundry soap, dish soap. There was even a welcome gift of a bottle of wine! The beds were comfortable and the house was very clean. We loved eating at Sharky’s and looking for sharks teeth on Caspersen Beach. Would definitely recommend this property!

Great stay
This property was just as listed, maybe even better!! We had a fantastic stay at Villa Portofino. Location was great, easily walkable to the beach near the house, Venice Beach was a very short drive. Hospitality tray when we arrived complete with a bottle of wine!! Pool was wonderful, Elena and team were very responsive to some questions and a few items that needed attention. We would definitely book this place again. Thanks for a wonderful time. Sally B.

Great location
We stayed with our family for a long weekend getaway. House was clean and great neighborhood. Easy walk to beach and Sharky’s. Car recommended to go downtown. Pool was nice but we didn’t really use as we went to the beach. She provided a nice welcome tray with wine and snacks. I would recommend this home.
