I rented this home for my mom and her husband to celebrate her 65th birthday. She said it was far better in person than it was depicted. Accurately described. Great restaurants within walking distance . I will definitely rent this home again. Also, the host is incredibly kind. My mom was struggling to parallel park. She kindly came out and parked my mom’s car.

I visit Santa Monica regularly and always check the carriage house’s availability and am so happy when I can book it! I’ve stayed here numerous times over the years and love everything about it. The location is perfect, Dayle provides everything a guest could ever require, and the place is spotless. It’s so nice to have a full kitchen and washer/dryer. When I leave, I wish I were staying longer!
