IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Due to the emergency situation with the fires in Los Angeles County at the present time we are unable to have instant bookings and all applicants will need to fill out a lease agreement prior to renting our home.We have changed our booking minimum to one year in order to make housing available to those who have tragically lost their homes. It will be necessary for all applicants to sign an application and lease agreement.

We have also been experiencing intermittent power outages and low air quality and although air purifiers are provided we cannot guarantee the quality of the air at this time.

A true Gem in a Quiet Neighborhood!

We have stayed at this lovely home twice. We love the location, peaceful home, well stocked kitchen, cleanest Vrbo we have ever rented and the owner/manager are wonderful! Communication, arrival & departure are all timely and smooth. Over the years of renting this property stands out in all aspects as a true gem and we will stay again on our next trip to LA!

Our stay at this beautiful Zen retreat was one of our best vacation rentals! I highly recommend staying here! The outdoor terrace is tranquil and relaxing. The terrace, hot tub, grill and home interior are all impeccably clean, well maintained, organized and has everything one could possibly need. The owners were incredibly kind and communicative.

A wonderful base to enjoy Los Angeles

We had a wonderful stay at this home. The house is extremely comfortable with a complete kitchen for cooking or re-heating leftovers. The beds were also very, very comfortable. High quality towels and products in the bathrooms. The location is very quiet with easy access to all places on the Westside of Los Angeles. The homeowners were immediately responsive to our questions and requests. I look forward to returning to this true Zen Spa retreat on my next visit to Los Angeles.

This is one of the few properties that is even better than the description! Impeccably clean, well appointed, with amenity you could think of! The outdoors are lovely, the hosts are responsive and kind, and you get to have everything you need to relax, rest, entertain and enjoy. I love this place and will hopefully get to stay here every time I come to LA.

Haevenly Stay

Our experience staying for a week at this property was as near to perfect as it gets. We found the home in immaculate condition almost better than any hotel. Everything we could need was provided. The place is unique and very soothing, meditative, and tranquil. The host and the manager were instantly responsive to the few questions we had. The neighborhood is quiet but easily accessible to everything by car. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay and recommends it without reservation.

Wonderful and relaxing retreat in busy Venice, CA.

My family had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay at Shawnee Smith's Zen Retreat in Venice. A beautiful home that's been lovingly cared for by Shawnee and her property manager Daniella. Both of them were a great to work with and very responsive to our questions. Walking inside the front gate and into the yard, you really felt transported into another zen-like world. Easy to leave the noise and crowds of Venice and L.A. behind. I highly recommend the Zen Retreat if you are looking for a quite, relaxing place to stay, that is still close to the beaches and the L.A./Hollywood scene.

Perfect for our needs

We rented this property so we could meet a dear friend from Australia, who was giving conferences. It was perfect for our needs. Very quiet. Appreciated the many items in kitchen, such as spices, condiments etc. Did not use the tub nor did we sit outside, but nice for folks who appreciate these ambiences. It is immaculately clean. Thank you.

100% satisfied!!!

We've been burned lately on listings not being accurately described, but this listing exceeded our expectations and has set the bar VERY high for any other location we rent in the future. Upon checking in we received a walk thru of the house from Daniella, who showed us how every little detail of the house worked and she also checked in with us via text to make sure we were enjoying our stay. The house was spotless, has a very well equipped kitchen, comfy beds, plush linens and towels and actually feels like a home, not a rental. We spent lots of time in the private outdoor patio enjoying the hot tub while listening to the tranquil fountains. I can't think of one negative thing to say about this house

In-Laws in town

The Zen retreat is as described. The photos don't do it justice. The house is wonderfully kept and clean; the grounds are relaxing with the fountains and meditation areas. The location is perfect for day trips, dinners, museums, beaches, golf and the eclectic lifestyle that is Los Angeles/Venice. Every amenity you could possibly need is there. If privacy is what you seek, look no further. The check-in was effortless thanks to Daniella who met us promptly at 4. All questions that we had were answered. She also had suggestions for dining and entertainment. We did experience an issue with streaming which the OWNER, Shawnee, showed up and took care of for us, spending her time making sure everything was up and running properly. Any questions I had for them were promptly answered. We had so much to do with my In-laws in town that my wife and I are planning another escape to the Zen Retreat...by ourselves!!! Again, thank you Daniella and Shawnee for creating a wonderful experience and memory for all of us. We look forward to seeing you soon!
