If you think of some of the trendiest, most fashionable LA County locations, Venice Beach is at the top of the list. This four-bedroomed contemporary villa is just a short distance from that iconic location, yet it is secluded enough to give up to eight guests a tranquil hideaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Famous for its canals, opulent lifestyle and chilled-out atmosphere, Venice is among the most desirable neighbourhoods in SoCal. It has a young, lively ambience with exclusive beachfront restaurants serving the catch of the day. For the best shopping experience in Venice, take in Abbot Kinney Boulevard, where you'll find some of Venice's best galleries, boutiques and eateries.

Venice Villa greets you with a cathedral-like entrance that fills the interior with natural light, thanks to the huge windows and skylights. The entrance is a room in itself, with comfortable furnishings and a private bar. Upstairs, an open-plan arrangement includes the main living area, sleek kitchen and dining space. The flow between the various elements is natural and encourages guests to mingle and interact while the designated chef rustles up a light meal in the sleek, fitted kitchen.

Four bedrooms provide charmingly peaceful retreats with cosy beds and ample space for unwinding. The primary suite offers a king-size bed and ensuite and a corner desk with fast Wi-Fi for posting up those Venice Beach Instagram moments. The remaining three guest bedrooms have snuggly queen-size beds, attractive ensuites, and plenty of closets and walk-in wardrobes.

The stairs lead up one more level to the standout feature of Venice Villa – the private rooftop deck. Complete with custom awnings and super-sized loungers, an al fresco dining area and BBQ, it's the ideal spot to sit back and relax at the end of a busy day and watch the sunset over the mountains and the Getty Museum. Venice Villa captures the wonderfully bohemian spirit that is a key part of this sunny, friendly city and adds a little sprinkle of LA glamour to create the perfect hideaway for larger families or groups.
