About this property

Stunning Oceanfront Penthouse with Panoramic Venice Beach Views

Welcome to Your Dream Venice Beach Penthouse

Imagine waking up to the sound of the Pacific Ocean, stepping outside onto your private ocean-view patio, and watching the world-famous Venice Beach Boardwalk come alive right outside your door.

Welcome to this rare and extraordinary full-floor penthouse located directly on the iconic Venice Beach Boardwalk. Offering an unbeatable oceanfront location, breathtaking panoramic views, generous living space, and an unforgettable Southern California atmosphere, this one-of-a-kind residence is the perfect place to experience the very best of Venice Beach.

Whether you're planning a family vacation, romantic getaway, extended stay, beach holiday, or business trip, this spectacular penthouse gives you the opportunity to experience Venice Beach from an exceptional vantage point.

Oceanfront Living at Its Finest

Perched atop a charming two-story building, this exclusive penthouse occupies the entire top floor, giving you an extraordinary sense of privacy and space in one of Los Angeles' most iconic beach neighborhoods.

The moment you walk through the door, you'll be captivated by the incredible ocean views. Large windows bring the beauty of the California coastline directly into the home, filling the living spaces with natural light throughout the day.

Step onto your private ocean-view patio and breathe in the fresh Pacific air. Enjoy your morning coffee while watching the waves, relax in the afternoon sunshine, or gather with family and friends in the evening as the sky transforms into brilliant shades of gold, pink, and orange.

Here, the ocean isn't simply something you visit—it's part of your everyday experience.

Your Front-Row Seat to Venice Beach

Few locations offer the energy and character of Venice Beach quite like this one.

Located directly on the world-famous Venice Beach Boardwalk, the penthouse places you right in the middle of one of Southern California's most vibrant destinations.

From your home, you can watch the colorful world of Venice unfold below you—street performers, musicians, artists, skateboarders, cyclists, beachgoers, and visitors from around the world.

During the day, enjoy the unmistakable Venice Beach atmosphere. As the sun begins to set, the coastline becomes even more spectacular.

On clear evenings, you can enjoy beautiful views along the coast toward Santa Monica, with the lights of the Santa Monica Pier creating a magical nighttime backdrop.

And when you're ready for some peace and quiet, simply retreat upstairs to your spacious private penthouse and enjoy the soothing sound of the ocean.

Spacious Comfort for Families and Groups

With 3 generously sized bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, this spacious penthouse comfortably accommodates families, friends, couples traveling together, or business travelers looking for more room than a traditional hotel can provide.

The open and airy floor plan creates a welcoming environment where everyone can relax, gather, and enjoy their time together.

After a day spent exploring Venice, swimming in the Pacific, cycling along the coast, or discovering Los Angeles, come home to a comfortable living space where you can put your feet up and truly unwind.

Large windows throughout the home provide abundant natural light and allow you to enjoy spectacular ocean views from multiple areas of the penthouse.

A Living Room Made for Relaxing

The inviting living room is designed for both relaxation and connection.

Gather together for a movie night, enjoy a conversation with friends, read a book while listening to the waves, or simply sit back and watch the ever-changing scenery outside your windows.

The combination of spectacular ocean views, comfortable furnishings, natural light, and an unbeatable location creates an atmosphere that is difficult to find anywhere else in Los Angeles.

Fully Equipped Kitchen and Dining Area

The spacious, fully equipped kitchen provides everything you need to prepare meals comfortably during your stay.

Start your morning with coffee and breakfast before heading downstairs to the beach, prepare a casual lunch between adventures, or enjoy a relaxed dinner at home after watching the sunset.

The dining area provides a comfortable place for everyone to sit together and enjoy a meal while taking in the beautiful coastal surroundings.

For longer stays, having a full kitchen also gives you the flexibility and convenience of enjoying the comforts of home while experiencing everything Venice Beach has to offer.

Comfortable Bedrooms for a Restful Stay

Each of the three bedrooms has been thoughtfully furnished with comfortable beds, quality linens, and ample closet space, creating a relaxing retreat after an exciting day in Los Angeles.

Whether you've spent the day at the beach, explored Santa Monica, visited Hollywood, shopped in Beverly Hills, or discovered the many restaurants and attractions throughout Los Angeles, you'll have a comfortable private space to recharge for the next adventure.

The two full bathrooms provide additional convenience for families and groups, helping everyone get ready comfortably in the morning and unwind after a long day.

The Best of Venice Beach Right Outside Your Door

One of the greatest advantages of staying here is the ability to experience Venice Beach without constantly getting in your car.

Walk downstairs and you're immediately on the famous Venice Beach Boardwalk.

Enjoy a morning walk along the sand, rent a bicycle and cruise along the coast, watch the sunset, explore local shops, discover unique restaurants, or simply spend the afternoon relaxing by the Pacific Ocean.

Venice Beach is also an incredible home base for exploring Los Angeles.

From here, you can easily explore nearby Santa Monica, Marina del Rey, Abbot Kinney Boulevard, Beverly Hills, Hollywood, West Hollywood, and many other iconic Los Angeles destinations.

Excellent Apartment

Great locationBetween Venice and Santa Monica Piers.. Inside clean and spacious. Especially good for larger family. Fantastic view of sunset and beach. Exceptional porch with grill, couch and many chairs, as well as propane fire table. Only concern for some is live music out front almost daily. I loved it, but some might not. Owner was very helpful.

Great Place, As Advertised, in the Heart of Venice and on the Ocean

This is a great property and as advertised. Joe, the owner, was responsive and very helpful. This listing is EXACTLY as described and the pictures are 100% accurate and current. Venice has a very "specific" vibe and energy, so if that is what you are looking for, this is your place. I was there with my two sons for the Bears vs Rams game this past weekend and we had a blast. The bar right next door was awesome too....outdoor seating, great live music, and great service/ownership.

Best location ever but a pretty run down property

As has been noted by others, the location of this property can't be beat. The view from the deck is amazing, you are right above a tremendous bar/restaurant, the boardwalk is just beneath you. But that is all you are paying for. The property is cheaply furnished and not in great condition or kept up well. The outside deck and entryway to the unit hasn't been cleaned in ages and is pretty filthy. It's a _lot_ of money for a run down place -- but we thought it was worth it for the view. Our main concern however was the used sex toy found under one of the beds along with lots of other trash which suggested that whoever is cleaning the inside of the place isn't being very thorough - in general, the surfaces and general condition of the inside appeared clean but no one needs to find what we found underneath the bed. As for safety, again as has been noted, it doesn't feel incredibly safe. As a group of four middle-aged men, it was fine; but I wouldn't let my daughters stay there. That's just Venice in that area - and we knew what we were getting into - but that should be understood by those who don't know the area. Joe, the contact, was a good communicator and got back to us quickly on the one question we had on arrival. All in all, it's about as good as you could ask for location-wise if you are looking for a house on the boardwalk.. But be aware that you won't be getting a $1250/nt experience when you are inside. And you may find some unwanted surprises.

This apartment is so well located! We loved people watching all afternoon. The drum circle in front of the building brings the full Venice vibe into the house! There are cafes and shops outside the door. And the beach is RIGHT THERE - wow! Tons of space with comfortable beds and living room furniture. Thanks for the easy details at arrival and departure.

The place to stay in Venice

Fantastic experience. The location of the property couldn’t be better. Beautiful view of the beach. Great bars and restaurants right near us. All the appliances worked. Big television in main room with cable tv. No issues with the WiFi. Large rooms. Joe the owner was super accessible and flexible. Got back to me immediately when I had questions prior to arriving and even during my stay. My friends and I are already thinking about when to plan our next trip. Just have to make sure Joe’s property is available Thanks again Joe for a great stay!!!!

Overall we enjoyed the property. I would make sure to read the description very well if you are renting with children because it is 100% accurate. We had two families with kids that were 19,15 and 14 and we had plenty of room. We loved the balcony where you can see the beach and ocean. We even saw dauphins on morning through binoculars. This condo is older and does not have central air or heat. The master bedroom and the front bedroom do have air conditioner units, but they do not really work. It's nice if you open the windows and door but the master bedroom is right next door to a restaurant and it is very loud first thing in the morning. One morning at 7:00 am they were loading up about 20 empty beer kegs and was extremely loud. Also in the mornings the master bedroom gets very hot and even with the windows and door open we really couldn't stay in there and be comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked and we were able to cook breakfast each morning and dinner twice with no issues. The neighbor downstairs was amazing. He even signed our boys' skateboards for them. The contact answered questions and took care of everything we needed in a very timely manner. I wish we could have gotten a late check out but I understand that they had other guests checking in. Overall I would stay here again, but only if the air conditioner units were updated.

Mixed reviews

We loved the idea of a summer family vacation on Venice beach with a rock star house and location. The location was great, right on the boardwalk just yards from the ocean. However, we took off one star for location and neighborhood because of the significant homeless population and ever present smell of marijuana. We understand the reason for the three secured doors. The property was large enough for our family of five. It was spacious and gave everyone room to enjoy their quiet time. I had hoped that the cleanliness would be better than the two stars we gave it. It was a tired property that needed to be renovated and deep cleaned - especially the wet areas. Yes, we're not staying in a five star resort; however, we did pay a significant housekeeping fee which set our expectations. The bathroom sink didn't work, toilet just kept running, paint chipped, molded caulk, blinds busted and the cable tv was out. I fixed the sink and toilet myself and the owner told me to call the cable company. His explanation, "I don't live there, how do I know?" As the owner, you should know everything. For the price, we had expectations of a cleaner, more updated and better maintained property. If you're looking for beach proximity only, this is your spot.

Appart vraiment très agréable et super bien situé

Superbe appart, confortable, bien situé, idéal pour famille, proche de beaucoup de commerces et de la plage. Animé en journée mais très calme la nuit. Aucun problème de sécurité. Propriétaire très réactif et sympathique. Procédure de check-in reçue un peu tardivement (1h avant et par mail mais pas de 4G car client européen). Service de table (assiettes et couverts) un peu juste en nombre (tout juste 8), manque de plats de service (viande, pdt) et d’appareils/ustensiles de cuisine de type blender, batteur mixeur, passoire (pâtes), ciseaux et aspirateur. Propreté : four à faire nettoyer en profondeur (fort dégagement d’odeur et de fumée) et aspirer sous canapés et lits. Linge de maison de belle qualité et en suffisance. Très bel appartement que nous conseillons. Si nous revenons à Los Angeles, nous le relouerons ! Famille belge de 6 personnes (2 parents et 4 adolescents)

House was right on the Boardwalk

Communication with owner was easy through the app. The check-in process was easy and the house itself is good. The house does need some upgrades and there are a few minor visual flaws. The BIG ISSUE: the house was dirty. On the surface it was clean... linens, counter tops, sinks were all fresh ... but it was in desperate need of deep cleaning of the floors throughout, bathroom floors around toilet and base of toilet (it had buildup), handles on fridge and stove. When brought to the owners attention he responded quickly but never rectified the situation. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the balcony each night, access to the beach, and the boardwalk entertainment.
