This characterful three-bedroom villa is in the heart of Venice's 'Golden Triangle' area. Grayson Avenue represents the epitome of luxury vacation rentals in California, combining contemporary sophistication with boho chic and a typical Californian exuberance for life. Welcoming up to six guests, Grayson Avenue is a charming family home with a sprinkling of LA glamour.

Think of that quintessential SoCal lifestyle, and you're thinking about Venice. Once just a sleepy little town on the outskirts of LA, today it's a vibrant and energetic place that embraces that typical Californian passion for life, the outdoors, and simply having a good time. From early-morning surfing on the beach to late-night dining in some of the most exclusive restaurants in the state, Venice is colourful, joyful, and packed with things to see and do.

Every element of Grayson Avenue works harmoniously. Comfort and a relaxed, genial atmosphere are enhanced in the sitting room by gloriously indulgent plush furnishings and bespoke artwork. A glass wall that can be fully opened allows the soft sunlight and sea breeze to waft in, cooling and brightening the space and imbuing it with that golden Californian glow. A hidden projector turns the living room into a home theatre, with a 9ft-wide screen for those popcorn-and-movie nights in. A delightful kitchen has every appliance you could wish for, and is accompanied by a breakfast bar. The dining area is intimate and cosy – just right for that dinner party with friends. If you have to get some work done, a private office in the garden provides you with peace, quiet, minimal distractions, and a high-speed internet connection.

The three sumptuous bedrooms include two queen-size bedrooms with a shared bathroom, and a primary suite with a spacious king-size bed. The primary suite benefits from a spa-style ensuite, and also has a private terrace where you can sip your early-morning coffee in the sunshine and plan the day's itinerary surrounded by the villa's lush garden. In that enchanting garden, you'll find an outdoor shower, a heated pool, and a shady spot for a touch of al fresco dining.

Grayson Avenue is just a block away from the iconic Venice Canal district with its historic walkways and charming shops. With tall conifers providing an enhanced level of privacy and beautiful views out to Santa Monica and Malibu from the rooftop terrace, Grayson Avenue is a beguiling Californian retreat and a wonderful chance to embrace the laid-back lifestyle of Venice at its best.
