Welcome to the best little
Beach Bungalow /Creative Retreat / Writer's Cottage / Get-A-Way / Hide-Out
Home
I am subletting my place for up to a year.
And am looking for someone who will
love and enjoy it as much as I do.
Bunch of area pics from my IG:
This great little spot has been my home for 15 years. I'm off to NYC on a new adventure and am subletting this place for the time being. This house is not listed on the market. I am looking for personal and/or professional references only. It is a very special place with beautiful light and energy, so I want to add to the energy of the place with the right person to move it.
I have always used this as a live / work space. As a filmmaker, this has been ideal. I spend days here writing, editing, reading, cooking, meeting with other artists, binge watching Netflix, and dreaming up big new things.
The cottage is 2 blocks from the beach. Located just behind Main Street on 2nd. Urth Cafe is about 100 yards away. I really can't think of a better block to be on! It is exactly 1 mile from the front door to Santa Monica Pier in one direction and the Venice sign in the other direction. Main Street is pretty incredible. Abbot Kinney and Rose Ave are just down the way. The Promenade, Train, Arclight and groceries are all walking distance. In fact, I don't own a car. There's no need here. (There are two parking passes with the house though).
There are a bunch of photos on this site. First thing you might notice is there are a lot of books and screens... not to worry - I am taking about 1/2 the books with me, as well as most of the office equipment. All the personal pictures and things will be stored away too. And yes, I have a cat. He is going to go with me. The house is being deep cleaned, steamed, etc before anyone moves in.
I am listing the rent price to include twice monthly housekeeping and twice weekly laundry service. It is negotiable, but I do want to ensure the place is well taken care of for you and for me.

My friends keep saying: "But wait! Rents in this area for the exact same house run $3,950 per month, unfurnished, no utilities, no house-keeping, no laundry service or anything... Why are you renting so far under market??" Because I am just looking for the costs to be covered and peace of mind about how the house is treated. These are the friends and family rates :)
