Great Host and Home

This property has a wow factor to it. The location is great for families that are experiencing Los Angeles and/or staying local. It’s a short walk to Venice Beach and a short bike ride to Santa Monica pier. The house was clean and had everything a family or friends would need. I would stay here again without hesitation.

Great house in a perfect location

The house is open, light, airy and chic. The kitchen is the best equipped rental we have ever stayed in and is well-stocked with staples. Everything is tastefully and thoughtfully done. Josh is beyond responsive and made our stay easy and fun. We will come again and would recommend this beautiful home on the magical Venice Canals to anyone.

Venice Beach

Great modern home in a perfect location to enjoy the beach (short walk) but far enough away when you want peace of the canals. Easy access to all that the beach has to offer.

About the host

Hosted by Josh Touber

I stumbled onto the Venice Canals in the mid-90s and knew immediately that someday I would build my ideal home here. A decade later, in 2005, I spent a year completing construction of this custom home where my family, relatives and friends partially use the space throughout the year, alongside VRBO guests.

Why they chose this property

This home is a unique mix of open interior and exterior spaces, bright natural light, warmth and coziness -- a perfect record of 5-star reviews, and three sets of guests have so fallen in love with the home and the area that they ultimately purchased homes in the canals and are now neighbors!
