Cottage holiday rentals in Santa Monica

This is our 3rd time staying at Joseph & Kelly’s place! It is always a pleasure! They make you feel right at home and are willing to help with any need! We love this place and plan to return very soon!

One of the most amazing Airbnbs I’ve ever stayed in. The place is absolutely gorgeous.

Connie was truly the perfect host. Responded so quickly to request for hot tub heat-up each eve (enjoyed the pool, too). And her written words were warm and generous. There was everything you could need in the kitchen and bath…including extras you wouldn’t even expect in other Airbnbs we’ve stayed. Syrup for our pancakes, for example, and toothpaste! Wonderful ambiance in our sweet cottage, lots of comfortable places to sit and covered front porch to snuggle up in next to the gorgeous home with beautiful gardens. Loved the lights strung across the yard; SO pretty each evening. We were fascinated by the Pasadena Parrots twice a day; fun to try and spot them in the mature trees all around. We are grateful for Connie allowing us to experience this exquisite property and we really hope to return!

Our stay here was quick, but just what we were looking for—peaceful and quiet. Our family of six stayed, and one reason we chose it was because each of our four kids would have their own bed. No pillow barriers needed haha. Speaking of beds, these were the *most* comfortable ones we’ve used at an AirBnB. The space was comfy, inviting, and super cool. We loved looking at all the music industry memorabilia, too; what a neat legacy for Michele to share with her AirBnB guests! One thing to note: the place is a converted garage so it is cooled and heated with a mini-split. It wasn’t turned on when we got there, and we wish it had been because it was a pretty cold, drizzly night (December) and took a long time to heat up. So if you stay here, maybe request that it be turned on in advance of your arrival. I’m sure the property management wouldn’t mind at all because they were nothing but accommodating and welcoming. Our big family felt lucky to find this place to stay while in the area.

We had the BEST time at Chase’s place. We loved the island itself, but felt very lucky to find such a fun and personable place that was full of character and wonderful amenities. We loved the hot tub, the beach items, the games, the office capabilities, the yoga items, the great water pressure, and on and on. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you, Chase!

Tom was fantastic and the place is quaint and perfect for a small family or couples retreat! Close to the beach, Main Street for shopping and food, and just overall secure and private with great amenities to RELAX!

Definitely wanted to stay longer! Connie made us feel welcomed before our stay even started and was even more of a delight to meet in person. The property is beautiful! Cottage was perfect for us and our pups. Neighborhood streets are nice to walk down with stores and restaurants easy to walk to. I can go on and on about the positives so I’ll just say that we will always check availability here first for any return trips.

We had a wonderful time and loved the house! It was extremely clean and well-outfitted. We would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a lovely home in a beautiful location!

Not only was this place beautiful clean and as described, it was one of the nicest in quietest Airbnb I’ve stayed at in Burbank! Patricia was responsive and easy to deal with!

This is a paradisiac place. Very secluded and surrounded by nature, ideal to really unplug. The outdoor kitchen is beautiful, as well as the swimming pool and the suite. Karen was an excellent host, always available when we needed something. We are looking forward to come back soon!

Absolutely loved staying at David's place. It was perfectly peaceful and quaint and very unique. David was also great in that we left an item by accident when leaving. He immediately let us know and helped coordinate a pick-up of it later that day. Was super appreciated. Would highly recommend staying at this or one of his other properties!

We had a wonderful time staying at Darryl’s place! If you love the ocean like we do - this is definitely the place for you! Wake up and fall asleep to the sound of the waves, it has a beautiful, private patio, a beach we have enjoyed during the day and multiple restaurants and convenience stores nearby. Darryl is a fantastic host! He was very accommodating, communicative, gave us recommendations and left us a bottle of wine, bottles of water and snacks! We loved Darryl’s place and highly recommend it! We’ll be back again!

Our most recent visit was our third stay at Kristin and Richard’s place. We love the location. Great for visiting the entire Pasadena and LA area. Their place has tons of character and many thoughtful touches. Kristin and Richard are very friendly and super responsive.

Geraldine and Tessa were fabulous hosts! Very communicative they absolutely fell in love with their property! Looking forward to returning back

Don's place was the perfect spot for our family. We loved the location and the views it provided while also being centralized between a few neighborhoods we wanted to explore, like Echo Park, Highland Park, and Silver Lake. It was easy to come and go, and we felt like we had a lot of privacy. I also really enjoyed the various patio spaces we had. We would stay here again.

Very good location

We very much enjoyed our stay. Very peaceful and secluded, yet close to shops and restaurants. Parking was sometime on the side streets but no problem at all. Kitchen is well stocked, and we enjoyed dinners outside. We hope to be back.

The Captain’s Cottage was a very cozy stay for me and my partner. We really appreciated the clean and comfortable rooms. They made sure we had their contact information and to let them know if we needed anything. The price was very reasonable and I could recommend this property to anyone needing a place to stay.

A really cute home perfect for a small family, in a great location

Craig was friendly, helpful, responsive, and provided great local recommendations. The Airbnb was exactly what I needed for a solo trip, and the location was quiet despite being only a few blocks south of the busiest part of Hollywood. I highly recommend staying here.

This place is fantastic! We are fire refugees and have rebooked a few times. Justin is so helpful + friendly and the place is nicely designed and comfortable in a lovely neighborhood. Highly recommended!

The cottage was very cute and cozy. It was extremely clean! It was a great home-base for our adventures to Disneyland, the Queen Mary, and Hollywood. It was also convenient to local restaurants.

Gregg's home is just a very short walk to the beach. Good location. The house was clean when we went in. The surrounding neighborhood is quiet. He had a lot of beach paraphernalias for us to enjoy. There were a lot of games for the kids (and adults) to play with. We also appreciate that Gregg did not require us to jump through hoops with cleaning the place when we leave unlike other air bnbs. We have always kept the air bnbs we stay at clean when we leave but other owners are just ridiculous with their cleaning rules. Gregg has been responsive and attends to concerns right away if there are any. All in all, it was a nice stay. Per my son's words right before we left, "I will miss this place." So yeah, this home is toddler, child and adult approved. Thank you, Gregg.

We absolutely loved Kirsten’s cottage! The location is superb — just a 2-minute walk to the beach and kids’ surf camp, and so close to the pier, restaurants, and the Pavilion. Parking was easy, and the place itself was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed for the family of 4. It was the perfect spot to kick off our summer vacation. We’ll definitely be back!
