Monthly Rentals in Santa Monica

Staying at Rita’s charming cottage was an absolute dream! The location on the Venice Canals is breathtaking—peaceful yet just a short walk to the vibrant energy of Venice Beach and Abbot Kinney. The cottage itself is cozy, beautifully decorated, and stocked with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Rita was a wonderful host—attentive, communicative, and full of great local recommendations. Waking up to the serene canal views and enjoying coffee on the patio was a highlight of my trip. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect getaway and can’t wait to return. Highly recommend!

I stayed here for 2 months for work, and it was a great spot to call home. As someone completely new to LA, there was a slight learning curve on my part in terms of driving and getting used to the amount of people, but having a spot like Jay's helped feel like you got away from the "crazy". As a solo-female traveler, I never felt unsafe here. Had a window AC but also had nice windows to let cool air circulate. The kitchen had everything I needed to cook my own meals (I personally shopped at Ralph's instead of the closer Trader Joe's/CVS because Ralph's was more economical for me). They also stocked the Airbnb with extra paper towels and toilet paper which was a big thing for me! Jay was always responsive, I never waited more than 10 minutes for a reply. I never really had any issues, but the couple times I did, he resolved them quickly. I love that the location is really close to everything (as he advertised it), too.

A Dream Stay in Ocean Park - Absolutely Incredible 3 Months with THE BEST HOSTS IMAGINABLE ! The location in Ocean Park was absolutely perfect, offering the ideal blend of Venice Beach's vibrant energy and Santa Monica's laid-back charm. The hosts are phenomenal and helped me settle in immediately with incredible local recommendations! The apartment itself was meticulously maintained, with every detail thoughtfully considered. Large windows flooded the space with natural light, and the open-concept layout made the entire area feel spacious and welcoming. The kitchen is fully equipped with high-end appliances that made long term living easy. It's a short bike ride or 10 mins walk from the Ocean Park Beach, with easy access to some of the best coffee shops, restaurants, bars and boutiques in LA. The neighbourhood felt safe, friendly, and incredibly walkable. Whether I was grabbing morning coffee, working remotely, or enjoying sunset walks, everything was conveniently accessible.

This was truly one of my favorite places I've ever stayed. I spent a month here alone and enjoyed every second! Laura was extremely helpful and responsive whenever I needed anything, the house was cozy & safe, and the location is unbeatable. Pros: -cute decor/vibe with everything you need (espresso machine, tea kettle, laundry, beach towels, etc.) -upstairs neighbor was quiet -amazing location -great shower -felt safe as a solo female traveler (locked gates to both entryways) -lots of cute restaurants nearby Cons: -parking can be very difficult, was only able to park on the same street one time. Otherwise I had to park at least a block away. Not really in their control but it is worth noting. Wish I could've stayed longer!!
