Keyless Entry allows you to arrive at your convenience.

Garden Beach Bungalow is furnished with love and care.

Custom-made & refinished antique furnishings create a warm, yet elegant, space.

This private guest house was built around 1925. Walk past the driveway garden to the raspberry door. Enter. These are some of the highlights - 3 bar chairs were revamped for this space with gold paint and blue mohair. Antique writing desk and end tables. Hardwood floors, granite, and stainless steel in the kitchen (stove, oven, fridge, microwave) Old old-fashioned style heater, a claw foot tub with shower, plush blanket make this space an old-school beauty with contemporary comfort. A washer and dryer are available in the adjacent basement for your convenience.

Your patio is private. The guesthouse is yours.
The entryway is shared as is the garden in the driveway.


High walkability!
The location is exceptional - 1 block from trendy Main Street shops & dining, a 20-minute stroll to Santa Monica pier to the north & funky Venice south, and less than a mile from Santa Monica Riviera hotels & in the heart of Silicon Beach. Visit one of the fragrant fresh farmer’s markets or bring your fav book to read while you sit on the sandy seaside. Use one of the beach chairs provided.

On-street parking is almost always easily available. Permits are free of charge and must be arranged in advance.

It's likely my availability will be minimal, so it is best to dialogue before you arrive. I am available by phone almost always and am offline from Friday afternoon to Saturday night weekly and not available by phone or email then. ( emergency phone numbers are listed in the information book in the unlikely event they are needed.)

If you like to walk and have time, there is ample opportunity.
Uber and Lyft typically arrive quickly and can provide transportation, and bus stops are a block away. The expo line, a five-minute drive or 20-minute walk, can whisk you across town in about 45 minutes. If you have a car, street parking is almost always available with a permit.

The beach bungalow is surrounded by an organic vegetable garden and lush plants. You will likely see birds and squirrels during your stay and occasionally a raccoon or even a possum.

The neighborhood is magic. It is a wonderful place to explore and relax after a day of work.
22-mile-long bike path on the beach, nearby adventures you can walk to, and spending time with the peaceful Pacific is a joy. 420 friendly.

All guests are required to provide a copy of their US driver's license or passport before checking in.

Fun Santa Monica beach house
My friend and I loved staying here. We wanted somewhere to decompress after driving for 9 days and this funky little pad was perfect. It’s a 1920s private guest house just off the back landing, accessed by steps. It is closer to Venice beach than to Santa Monica pier, with easy walking access to restaurants and the SM farmers market. The downstairs laundry was excellent, the kitchen well set up, and the whole place suited us. Be warned, though, if you are short, the high chairs at the kitchen bench might be a bit awkward. I used the writing desk for meals. T’mimah was a friendly and helpful host. We both liked her a lot. The only downside was some difficulty with parking on the street. When we arrived there was none, so we nosed into the drive overnight (with T’mimah’s permission) but when a spot opened up the next day we ended up with a parking ticket because we didn’t read the instructions on the parking permit closely enough and thus didn’t display it correctly. Don’t make the same mistake!

T’mimah was the perfect hostess. My daughter was immediately in love with the squirrels and Mr. Mo the cat ❤️ T’mimah gave my daughter a bowl of nuts to feed the squirrels and she couldn’t have been happier! This trip was well needed and I feel fortunate to have found this perfect little gem. The neighborhood was nice as were the neighbors and the beach is a 5 minute slow walk down the road. God willing, my family and I will one of these days be returning. Blessings 🙏

Great place
The beach house had everything we needed. We were a family with 2 children under 10 and we didn’t need a car for anything. We used Uber to get there and were able to walk to everywhere during the 3 day stay. The beach was super close, a liquor store around the corner had the basics like milk, cereal, snacks, and personal items. There was a farmers market a 2 min. Walk away and multiple restaurants. We walked to the pier and it was all very convenient. We would stay there again in a heartbeat.

My boys and I felt right at home in this property. It was the perfect location for our trip to visit Universal Studios and Disneyland. The owner was very caring and it shows in the quality of her property. I hope to return someday.
