Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Mar Vista, Los Angeles

A really fantastic Airbnb! Attention to detail everywhere, so many amenities and thoughtful touches, very comfy and spacious. Beautifully appointed. Air conditioning worked great which was so nice because I stayed during an LA heat wave. Hosts were helpful and communicative. I was bummed to check out and would be delighted to stay again.

We had a wonderful time during our stay. The space felt more spacious than the photos, and we were delighted by the natural light. Even with the large sliding doors closed, the indoor/outdoor feel was still present. Our dog enjoyed basking in the sun throughout the day. The space was quiet and peaceful, making it an ideal place to work and relax. We would definitely love to stay again!

Spencer’s place looked like the photos and had everything I needed for a few days of working from home! The kitchen is stocked with whatever you might need to cook a meal. Comfortable furniture and nice shower. The neighborhood is nice and safe to walk around, close to a few different coffee and restaurant spots. Would return!

Comfortable, airy, safe, and convenient. Easy parking and access to Venice.

Clifton was very helpful with instructions layout in the Airbnb! Very amazing host! I would start here again with my buddies and I

The location is fantastic and very close to Santa Monica. I really enjoyed the stay and Chantal was very responsive and with everything that I needed she delivered it quickly! The room was clean and the space is very homey and private.

A great little place with everything you need to stay comfortably for a few days! Nice kitchen and living room set up with a piano!!

We had a great week long stay in late May 2025. The unit was very clean and as pictured. Very well appointed and spacious. Bed was comfortable. Lots of towels. Off street parking. Felt very quiet, safe and private. Great location and safe to walk dog. Only thing lacking is having some outdoor space. The property consists of a small house in front, this cottage, then a large house being constructed behind (almost done), with a driveway running the length. Construction behind and on the property next door was fine, aside from not being pretty. Host was friendly and unobtrusive. We would stay here again.

Barbara and Gunther were nothing less than the perfect hosts. Their place is fantastic, great location and spotless. MauMau is the friendliest cat I have ever met and has pushed me to get a cat of my own! Barbara and Gunther went out of their way to make our stay fantastic, provided great snacks, recommendations and an amazing place to stay which felt homely as well as being spotlessly clean. We will certainly be returning if we are in LA again, and will be recommending to any friends and family. The guys were extremely friendly and we couldn’t recommend them enough.

Stayed at Niklas’ place for 4 nights on my fiancee and I’s first time around LA and it was perfect! Everything was as described and Niklas was always very responsive and helpful! Would definitely stay here again!

Great location with a nice cafe walking distance. Can be a bit tricky to park (look out for street sweeping days). The place was cosy and comfortable.

Great stay! Well decorated, clean, and conveniently located walking-distance to everything we needed. A bidet is always a huge plus in my book. Would stay again and highly recommend.

Cozy and clean space in Culver City! Lots of good places to eat nearby. The space itself was as described and the host was very proactive about reaching out about things.

Adorable, private, and quiet space centrally located in Santa Monica. Hosts were super friendly and thoughtful and the place came with so many amenities and thoughtful touches.

I needed to find a place to stay that would be walkable to cafes and grocery shopping for a long weekend in LA without a car and close to the airport and SoFi for concerts. This worked out well since it was close to where my friends lived as well. I walked to Trader Joe's and the little row of shops near it for a quick meal. When I had some issues with the apartment (portable air conditioner hose was being tricky) Amanda was very responsive. It's a solid studio apartment space with (as others mentioned) a very small bathroom. But the shower was good. I found the table area a little underlit if you want to work from that spot. The bed was very firm. I was happy to have an air purifier in the room & AC/ceiling fan worked well. The kitchen setup met my needs (microwave, tea kettle, toaster). And it had a full length mirror and closet with hangers so I could hang-up my outfits and get ready for an event easily. It's definitely a quirky room with what looks like original woodwork.

Great place for a couple. Location made it convenient to get to different places throughout the city

Listing was clean and as described. Location was walkable and close to many metro bike stations, where you can rent bikes for pretty cheap. I’d recommend going up north more towards Santa Monica than south towards Venice.

Absolutely thrilled about our stay here. It’s a beautiful condo with the best LA decor. Everything was clean and comfortable. Also- Having a WORKING washing machine in an Airbnb was a game changer! The rooftop views- wow!! How cool to have a pool and hot tub on the roof! There is also no reason to feel unsafe at this location (I saw other reviews with some worries). The security at the front desk was AMAZING. They will not let anyone in that is not supposed to be in the building. They eventually know you by name and greet you. They walked me outside to show me exactly how to get to the convenient parking garage provided by the host. (The parking garage is just as secure!) I could go on and on about our experience- but it will only allow me to write so much! Thank you so much Brandon! We will be back! If you want to stay downtown LA- stay here.

Booked for the rooftop pool view and it did not disappoint. The parking spot was a nice bonus. The unit itself was nice. Comfy bed, big tv, very clean. As others mentioned, it’s very bright; bring an eye mask if you don’t want to be up with the sunrise.

Me and my mom stayed for 4days at Anita’s place and I would 100% recommend it! It had everything I needed and more. Everything was beautiful and it had a big shower! We walked to Venice beach and coffee shops and stores! It is beautiful and close to a lot of things.

Sam and Amber are great hosts and their place is perfect for a few days Santa Monica and LA. It’s very close to the beach, pier and the 3rd street boulevard (shopping and restaurants). Both of them replied quickly and were always helpful. The apartment has everything you need and is well equipped. The free parking in a garage is a big plus! We would come back and can absolutely recommend the two and their apartment!

Very well-furnished with all the amenities. Our hosts even had cold drinks in the fridge for us. Both Tianna and Grant were very responsive and friendly. Only 5min to LAX

Shant's place was great for my 2 night stay in LA. It was clean, convenient and having a dedicated parking spot made things easy. Shant was also very communicative, quick to respond and provided great instructions prior and during the stay. I would definitely stay here in the future. Thanks, Shant!

Cara’s place was awesome. My daughter and I stayed there for 3 nights and it was a great experience. Cara was super responsive and her directions and details for using her space were very helpful (parking, keypad access, etc). The unit was clean and pretty and had everything it said it would in the description. The garden was fantastic. It was so lovely with palms, a banana tree, succulents, flowers and the gorgeous fountain. It was a great base camp location for us because we crammed a lot of sight seeing into our short time in LA. We were able to walk to the 3rd Street Promenade, Ocean Front Walk and the Santa Monica Pier, from there we rented the public bikes and rode one-way to Venice to explore the boardwalk and canals. We could go on and on and wish we could have stayed longer!
