The Venice Walk Streets:
Our wonderful Craftsman house is located in the absolutely enchanting and truly unique neighborhood known as the Venice Walk Streets. Homes in this coveted and exclusive area--which is just minutes from the ocean--face pedestrian-only “walk streets,” which collectively form a gorgeous botanical garden, with a multitude of stunning flowers, specimen trees, intriguing art pieces, and exceptional architectural design. Many celebrities, musicians, film directors and writers, and other cultural figures call this area home--indeed, Julia Roberts’s house is kitty-corner from ours. Look no further if you want your vacation experience to include culture, beauty, warmth, peace, and relaxation.
Vibrant Venice:
Our neighborhood is also perfectly situated for your experience of vibrant Venice and all of its hotspots. While at the house, you'll enjoy a peaceful retreat and the beauty of nature, but walk for just a few minutes and you'll arrive at Abbott Kinney, which is the heart of hip Los Angeles. Here you can shop for everything, from clothing to home furnishings, at a wide variety of one-of-a-kind boutiques. When you get hungry, try Wabi Sabi (superb sushi), Primitivo (terrific tapas), Lily's (fantastic French), and many other excellent restaurants and cafes. If you have a sweet tooth, visit Rockenwagner's bakery or Pinkberry. And when you're ready for nightlife, check out The Brigg, The Other Room, Hal's, Roosterfish, and many other great bars, clubs, and entertainment venues
The Beach and Boardwalk:
Of course, in only 10 minutes you can also walk directly from the house to the Boardwalk and the beach. Venice’s renowned Boardwalk features a brilliant mix of performers, vendors and local characters, all mere steps from the surf and sand. Spend the day people-watching in a beach chair, or explore a little further, riding on the bike path to Santa Monica and its Amusement Pier or to Manhattan Beach and beyond. The vibrancy of this unique spot on the California Coast will fill your day with energy, and yet when you return to the house and its relaxing locale, you’ll hardly believe that so much activity is so close by!
