Helen and Mike were great and were eager to provide local recommendations. The apartment is beautiful, spacious, and has incredible views of the marina. One of the better experiences I've had! Thank you.

We booked our accommodations close to our travel date. Communication with the host was prompt. The apartment was spacious and had a wonderful view of the marina. The king sized bed was very comfortable. We were walking distance to Venice beach, many restaurants, free public transit and a grocery store. The apartment also had a balcony which faced the marina and was a great place to relax after a busy day. The kitchen was sufficiently stocked to make coffee or tea and to prepare light meals. The previous reviews were accurate in that the space was cluttered. The blinds that were meant to block out the sun did little to block out the light at night. The sofa and love seat were stained and looked a little tired. Shampoo, soap, dish soap and hand sanitizer were provided, but the bathroom lacked face cloths and toilet paper. I am inclined to agree with the previous guest that toilet paper is a necessity…even the public bathrooms on the beach supply it. I had hoped that the host had addressed this complaint. I had requested either an earlier check in or a place to leave our luggage for 1 -2 hours and was charged an extra $20.00 cash. Make note that there is also a $50. charge for access to the facilities which we did not use and were not even sure they were available to use.

Beautiful property with waterfront views. Clean, pleasant, peaceful. I would definitely go back.

We were excited about using the amenities but unfortunately they were not available due to covid even though the listing stated that they were. Aside from that amazing location and easy communication. Apartment could definitely use an updating but was clean. Also it's listed as a one-bedroom but the bedroom is separated by a curtain which did not provide the privacy we were looking for.

Arrival went well. We got a tour of the building & amenities. Really appreciated help finding things. Loved having the snack place downstairs, very convenient. Kids enjoyed the pool. Felt safe inside the gates. Rooms were clean, plenty of towels/beach towels/linens/pillows, had foldout chairs for use at the beach. Kids loved the TV, could stream a lot of different providers, wifi was fast enough for what we needed. Helen responded quickly to all my questions. Why 3 stars? - Some kitchen items are provided: small skillets, pans, bowls, silverware. But no pans/sheets for baking, no measuring cups. Simple cooking will work but no baking / no large meals / no leftovers. Unpacking, lots of closet space & hangers, nice. In bedroom only one drawer, but worked ok for me. Says sleeps 4, only option for a 3rd/4th is a fold out cushion on the floor or the couch. The couch is not a sofa bed so not a sleeping option. No privacy for the bedroom, no door, only curtain. IMO this sleeps 2 adults sharing the bed or 2 adults sharing the bed with no expectation of privacy with 2 children willing to sleep on the floor. - Very hot during the day, 90+ outside 80+ in the room. Not sure how it works but the HOA decides when you can use the AC. So please look into your dates, the forecast, and the HOA's rules about the AC. This wasn't as much a problem at night, windows open and there's a good cross-breeze. But is miserable when trying to get ready after the sun comes up. It affected our plans as we had intended to spend the hottest part of the day in the room. - Essentials: We ran out of toilet paper. Started with a half-roll, found another half-roll in the bathroom. When I asked where to find more, I was told I had to purchase "extra". I understand not supplying consumables, i.e. shampoo, conditioner, body wash, etc. But to me TP is an essential and should be provided. - The cleaning fee is an expected expense. I was aware of the cost, so this is not about the amount. At the end of our stay, we were asked to take out the trash. Since I paid a cleaning fee, to me that falls under the cleaning category. Not sure if that's standard or not, but IMO the cleaning fee covers trash.

Excellent property, full of amenities, with timely and professional assistance by the owner.

great view and amenities, and very responsive host. thank you Helen.

We had a fabulous time at Helen’s condo in Marina Del Rey. It was furnished in a lovely and comfortable way that made relaxing easy to do there. The view of the marina is unbelievably beautiful. There is a lovely balcony with chairs and plants that is perfect for coffee, drinks or a light meal! Helen was very available and replied promptly to texts with answers to any questions we had! Definitely would go back!!

Loved staying here and cannot wait to go back. Thanks for a great experience Helen. The place was clean and as advertised. Amazing views.

Gorgeous views at this nice property with an awesome balcony. Lovely location and Great host.

Beautiful condo right on the Marina with gorgeous views from the balcony & full length bedroom windows. Very safe & clean area…& restaurants & grocery store within walking distance. Very good restaurant/store on street level in the building. Helen was wonderful….met us at the condo & explained everything. Always replied immediately when we had questions. Only 25 minutes to the airport & 30 minutes to SOFI stadium. Hope to return soon!

Our stay at Helen's condo couldn't have been nicer. Helen was always cheery, responsive and did her best to ensure our stay was delightful. We especially enjoyed having our morning coffee on the balcony overlooking the Marina, and our afternoon walks along the Quay. Marvelous sunrises greet you most mornings. A lovely, comfortable stay. We would definitely return to in the future. Thanks Helen!

The property was nice with a beautiful view and Helen was nice to work with. The location was nice, secured parking, walk to elevator/apartment is close to parking, quiet and you felt safe. It does get warm with the sun but there is a nice cross breeze between the doors. The kitchen did leave something to be desired. If you are planning on using the fridge, microwave and coffeemaker or rice cooker (there are a several) then you will be fine. I made simple meals and had to buy a disposable baking pan and measuring cups. A lot of the essentials were not well stocked (paper towels, dish detergent, trash bags, no ice cube trays). Helen was nice enough to let us bring our toddler but the house needed to have a lot of glass items moved in order to be baby proofed so beware with young children. There are a lot more than in the pictures on the listing. I also like to unpack when I’m there for multiple days and most of the drawers and closet space was used for their extra stuff. While I do appreciate the extra blankets, a lot of it seemed like old stuff that could have been stored off sight. It felt more like I was utilizing someone’s house rather than a rental with the amount of decorations and items in the cabinets and I was worried I would forget stuff because of the clutter.

This is a spacious, well equipped apartment with great light. It is within a large marina complex. This may not suit everyone, but I enjoyed the space and the tranquility of it. The owner is helpful and a pleasure to deal with.

The views were stunning, close to restaurants, crazy Venice beach and far enough away to feel very safe. Only complaint, 2nd bed was a hard mattress that is set on the floor. I hadn't realized that when I booked it. If you like a hard bed or don't care, it's perfect.

I was under the impression there was two rooms or at least two beds, It has one great comfy room and a mattress behind the couch. Lucky for us it was just the wife and I but other than that all great !!

Helen was wonderful and super attentive! The location was great and the apartment was spacious. Thank you so much!

A great place, and we will very likely be coming back. There were a few minor improvements, however, that could be made. Needed a few more supplies such as tissues and more soap and toilet paper. Overall it was great, and as we said, we will likely be back.

The property has an amazing location (close to everything) and outstanding views. Helen was very accommodating and thoughtful about our 2 years old too, by lending us extra stuff that we forgot. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay again if we have to visit the area.

Enjoyed the views that Marina del Rey had to offer!

Helen’s condo was the perfect escape for my snowbird Mom. It was right on the water. Helens building was like a 5 Star resort complete with a restaurant, snack shop, pool and gym. My Mom fell in love with the community as everyone was so happy to live in such a beautiful complex! She will be back!
