Enjoy this magical retreat just a few minutes walk from the beach (Santa Monica) $300 4bd

4 Bedrooms and 3 Baths Enjoy this magical retreat just a few minutes walk from the beach. This is a very special house -- wonderfully open, bright, and serene, recalling New England beach cottages. Originally built in 1926, it has been imaginatively restored, as featured in numerous magazines, with modern touches throughout. Hear the surf at night yet enjoy canyon living in one of the prettiest, most tranquil -and exclusive- neighborhoods in Los Angeles. A variety of restaurants, upscale and casual, are a short walk away while the hip attractions and shopping of Montana Avenue, Venice, and Pacific Palisades are only a few minutes drive. Through a gated entry, a stone pathway leads past cascading ponds with resident turtles (please feed!) to a trellised flagstone porch overlooking a lovely garden. Inside, there's a seamless blend of the classic and modern. It?s a beautifully scaled cottage, with an airy, loft-like openness, perfect for entertaining or relaxing. Each of the bedrooms enjoys complete privacy. Pets Allowed
