Thank you so much for a beyond perfect stay.

Stayed: February 2012
We booked Best-at-the-Beach for a chilled out week in the middle of 3 months worth of traveling and I genuinely don't believe we could have found a better place to have picked. You will not find more perfectly helpful, personable, kind, warm and pleasant owners than Jamie and Noi.
From the enquiry about booking this house to the day we left they were in constant contact through email, offering advice of places where to go and checking that we were enjoying our stay. They went above and beyond what is expected when renting a place like this, and this is by far the most impressive experience we have had in 8 years of renting vacation homes.
The house itself is great, fully equipped with EVERYTHING, and I literally mean EVERYTHING you could think you might need from home. From a fully stocked spice rack to printer to print out any documents or tickets. Even little touches like supplying fresh toothpaste, razors, shampoo, or how about a roll of quarters for convenience when it comes to parking for local beaches? EVERYTHING! I can't even recall how many times my wife and I said "wow, they've even got..." or "no way, look, they've even thought to provide..."
It was spotlessly clean and tidy, the bed was very comfortable, the TV was huge, the kitchen was modern, towels were supplied as well as toiletries, even beach towels. The bikes came in handy for visiting Venice and Santa Monica beaches.
You are about 15 footsteps away from sand, and the beach is one of the nicest, and we visited them almost ALL of them locally. The area is close to some great locations like Venice Beach, Santa Monica Pier, with lots of great restaurants/cafe's or even plenty of local supermarkets to choose from if you want to make something yourself. Very quiet and friendly neighborhood, and I went for a jog every morning, and everyone I passed smiled and said 'good morning' back (something you certainly don't experience in London).
In short we couldn't be happier with our stay, the only downfall was having to leave. But we are already making plans to return again. Thanks again for everything Noi and Jamie, literally PERFECT!
