Location is everything in LA! If you want to walk to the beach this darling little condo located on Montana Avenue in Santa Monica is the place! Montana Avenue is referred to as "The Rodeo Drive of The West Side". Visit MontanaAve.com for an overview. This area is as prime as it gets and the condo sits in the most desirable area of Santa Monica.
Four block walk to the park and the pedestrian walk over to the beach. You will be less than five blocks from a variety of restaurants, groceries, bank, shopping and Starbucks. A little bit further walk is the Santa Monica Pier and Third Street Promenade. Whatever you need is within walking distance. 30 minute or less drive to The Getty Museum, hiking in the hills, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Hollywood, Malibu and about an hour to Disney Land!
The space
The space is small (980 sq ft)but updated nicely. This is a very quiet building of professionals so we do ask our guests to be respectful of that.
This is a one bedroom condo with an updated kitchen and bathroom. There is a small balcony with not much of a view but nice for a little fresh air.
There is an air mattress so you could squeeze in a child or two but it's not terribly family friendly. The sofa isn't suitable for sleeping, it's quite thin.
If you're in Santa Monica/Los Angeles you won't be spending much time inside:)
Guest access
The condo is on the first floor, there are stairs as well as an elevator. There is an underground parking ramp with a security gate. You will have one parking space.
There is also a front door entry code for additional security.
Notes
This building does not allow short term rental so we do ask you be discreet as to the exchange. You are simply our friends using the condo which is true!
There is a pool however guests are not allowed to use it unless a home owner is present. I'm sorry about that.

Hello! We are world travelers, always curious, love the beaches and the mountains. My daughter is an Olympic alpine ski racer so we will be looking for opportunities in the mountains. I have a cottage on a beautiful little lake just outside Duluth Minnesota USA as well as a tiny but sweet condo near the beach in Santa Monica California.
Typically it will be just my daughter and myself traveling. We don't mind cat sitting:).
People Like Us is the world's most trusted home exchange community. We believe in sharing, trust, generosity, respect, communication, equality, cooperation, honesty, hospitality, friendship, flexibility and adventure. We take pride in our homes and we care about the environment in which we live: our village, city, country and our planet. We care about the ethos of home exchange and we do it because we love the experience and the friendships that it generates.
The perfect place to reenact your slow motion Baywatch beach run!
Miles upon miles of beach
We have some of the most beautiful sunsets in the world.
Gorgeous white sand beaches
Malibu is a few miles north of the condo and not to be missed!
Surf lessons are walking distance but I'd drive because you're going to be sore:)
The gorgeous original Getty Museum in Malibu. You will need reservations. The new Getty Museum is a 15 minute drive from the condo and also not to be missed.
Beverly Hills is about 8 miles to our east
Hollywood is 14 miles to our east
Santa Monica Pier is always a point of interest with concerts, rides and restaurants.
Positively gorgeous!
Hiking the Santa Monica Mountains is a must for all hikers. The sight seeing is fabulous and there are trails of all levels. Temescal Canyon is a five minute drive from the condo.
We're the end of the famous Route 66
Santa Monica Pier is always a party
Gorgeous views from atop the Santa Monica Mountains
It's a giant sand box:)
44.2 miles to Disneyland typically 52 minutes in heavy traffic
