The house was amazing - modern, clean, great privacy and tranquil garden. Location is great, with 2 minute walk to Abbott Kinney. The host was also great. Very responsive and helpful. All in all a great experience that I would highly recommend.

Thank you for your hospitality. We were very satisfied with our stay. The environment here is lovely—the beach is about a 10-minute walk away, and dining spots are also about 10 minutes away, making it very convenient to get around. We’ll definitely come back and will recommend it to friends.

This house was perfect for everything we needed! No complaints. Clean, walkable to loads of food / cafes / shops, open concept that was great for our whole group! Outdoor space was a highlight!

Photos depict outdoor patio furniture and rooftop furniture. This was a huge selling point. The chair and sofa cushions were filthy and unusable. Open Air sent a cleaner who came with one spray bottle and one cloth. This did not clean much. Couple days later they sent deep cleaner, who cleaned it as best as he could. It took two full days for cushions to dry. We were able to use it for one full day. Our stay was 7 nights and the outdoor furniture was usable for one day. Additionally, all 3 beds were cheap and very uncomfortable, something you would expect at Motel 6. Also, the white L shaped sofa in main room is uncomfortable. Prior to posting a review, Open Air sends a message saying if you have anything negative to say, please state it in a private message to them versus publishing it. I did just that, and they responded once asking for my patience, then no response from them. For $9,000 (all in) for 7 days, we expected a timely response. Great location, that's about it.

Questions guests ask

Is this an instant booking?

No. Bookings on the Open Air Homes direct site are request to book. We review each request within 24 hours and approve or decline it. Your card is held, not charged, until we approve.

Why is there an occupancy tax on my total?

Transient occupancy tax is a city tax on short stays. We collect it with your booking and pay it to the city. The exact rate for this home is in your price breakdown.

Can I stay 30 nights or more?

Often yes, depending on the calendar. A stay of 30 nights or more is a tenancy, so it is booked with a CAR lease. Monthly stays start at 30 nights. Occupancy tax ends at 31 nights in Los Angeles and 29 in Palm Springs. Send a request for your dates and we will confirm.

How is booking direct different from booking on Airbnb?

Booking direct removes the guest service fee the big platforms charge, and gives you a direct line to our team. It is the same home and the same standards.
