Welcome to the Flower Cottage Venice - your very own whimsical, lush, and incredibly (!) walkable beachside hideaway. Our cottage (which is located in a very private space in our large, fenced backyard) features everything you need for an extended stay, including your own private entrance/parking, yard, bikes, fire pit, BBQ, fastest wifi, 4K monitors, unlimited usage of the new swedish dry sauna and more. The cottage is a short walk to the beach, Whole Foods, Rose Ave, Abbot Kinney and beyond. The Flower Cottage is a beautifully restored California Craftsman that sits in a private space in the very back of our property. Your dreamy backyard is complete with a BBQ, fire pit, lounge furniture, fresh passionfruit, fragrant lavender, and more. You also have an electric gate to park a large car in for safe keeping (+ access to a 110v if you have an EV!) Additionally, we have a newly installed swedish dry sauna that is shared with the main house... use as much as you may like! We hope you'll have special evenings using the grill, unwinding by the fire pit, and enjoying the twinkle lights. If you have dogs, this yard is a dog paradise. We welcome all fury friends! Inside, you'll find two light-filled rooms with the coziest mattresses + ample pillows. Each room is outfitted with a desk and 4K monitor so you can work remotely with ease. The rooms also have their own closets and chest of drawers. The living area features a Samsung frame TV (so you can keep pretty art on the wall while not in use), and access to all streaming services. The kitchen features a large fridge/freezer, toaster oven, all serving ware for the best outdoor BBQ party, and beyond. We do not have a traditional stove, however, we have an amazing electric induction burner that enables the same stove-top cooking experience. Coffee features include a Chemex, grinder, filter and scale for the perfect pour over, as well as a regular coffee machine. Regarding laundry, we have a small in-unit combo washer/dryer in the back bedroom closet. Please note, it does take a while to wash/dry, so we also provide hangers in the event you'd like to hang dry your clothes. There's a great laundry service called OrangeBag that we also recommend to guests -- super seamless pick up/drop off laundry service in the area! The bathroom has been completely renovated with gorgeous new marble tile. We'll leave fresh eucalyptus hanging for you in the shower. We live in the front house on the property. When you arrive, we'll be here to greet you and show you to the bungalow. You have your own private entrance (alley) and access to two bikes during your stay. Although we live in the main house on property, we absolutely keep to ourselves unless you need anything at all. We want guests to have the most enjoyable, relaxing, and private stay in the Cottage. The only interruption in privacy is on Mondays and Tuesdays, when we'll need to (quickly!) move the trash bins to the back alley for pick up/return them the following day. Venice is an absolute dreamland. From the gorgeous, glistening coastline, to the world-class shops and restaurants... not to mention the incredible energy of greater Los Angeles, you cannot go wrong with this sweet little neighborhood by the sea. The cottage is situated in the best spot in Venice -- a 1 minute walk to Rose Avenue (filled with coffee shops, restaurants, etc), 5 minute walk to Whole Foods, 10 minutes (8 blocks) to the beach, and 15 minutes to Abbot Kinney. You have access to parking directly next to the cottage via an electric gate. It's a super easy two point turn, and we'll make sure you have access to the remote upon check in. Additionally, the Flower Cottage is in a 'Walker's Paradise' with a score of 93, so between walking around the neighborhood or using the bikes we have on property for you, this should be incredibly sufficient for an extended stay! Uber/Lyft are also very convenient to get anywhere you may like to go across the city of LA. Please note that Venice is quite urban, so you will experience some noise, including airport noise as we're close to Santa Monica airport.
