Cottage vacation rentals in Mar Vista, Los Angeles

the back yard, pool and cottage is beautiful and relaxing. the pool was wamed up for us. everything was clean and very cute. i hosted a little bbq here with the family and the main reason why everyone was so delighted with the place was because of Connie. such a wonderful soul. thank you and we will definitely make this a spot to book throughout the year.

Our stay here was quick, but just what we were looking for—peaceful and quiet. Our family of six stayed, and one reason we chose it was because each of our four kids would have their own bed. No pillow barriers needed haha. Speaking of beds, these were the *most* comfortable ones we’ve used at an AirBnB. The space was comfy, inviting, and super cool. We loved looking at all the music industry memorabilia, too; what a neat legacy for Michele to share with her AirBnB guests! One thing to note: the place is a converted garage so it is cooled and heated with a mini-split. It wasn’t turned on when we got there, and we wish it had been because it was a pretty cold, drizzly night (December) and took a long time to heat up. So if you stay here, maybe request that it be turned on in advance of your arrival. I’m sure the property management wouldn’t mind at all because they were nothing but accommodating and welcoming. Our big family felt lucky to find this place to stay while in the area.

Connie was amazing! I don’t have words to express my gratitude for the whole experience. I hosted a Yoga Retreat for 15 individuals in her yard- from start to finish, She was just amazing. So kind. So generous. Great with communication. I can’t recommend her place enough!

5 stars – A Perfect Stay! 
I cannot recommend this place enough! From the moment I arrived, everything exceeded my expectations. The cottage was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had all the amenities I could possibly need. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I appreciated the thoughtful touches like fresh coffee, extra towels, and a helpful guide with local recommendations. The location was perfect—close to everything, yet peaceful and quiet at night. Communication with the host was seamless; Linda was very thoughtful, responsive, friendly, and went out of her way to make sure I had a great experience. I especially appreciated the little things that showed she cared like the personal welcome and farewell notes. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Patricia has been our host twice now, and each time has been lovely! Beautiful little casita so close to Warner Bros and Universal! Very much enjoyed our stay.

This is a paradisiac place. Very secluded and surrounded by nature, ideal to really unplug. The outdoor kitchen is beautiful, as well as the swimming pool and the suite. Karen was an excellent host, always available when we needed something. We are looking forward to come back soon!

Wonderful stay. Wanted to get away from LA and have a nature focused time with my dogs. Felt right at home. Perfect little cabin!!

This was our third stay at this location and we keep coming back. It's charming, we love Topanga, and we always feel at peace here. It's rustic in a way we like. It's not fancy but it feels like home in a way that hotels and plain white box places don't.

It was a pleasant stay and Sylvia was very responsive. The house was perfect for 3 of us. Had a fully stocked kitchen with all required utensils so we felt right at home, able to make our own meals. We needed a late check out and the request was promptly acknowledged and it made our stay very easy on the last day so we had enough time to pack up and leave. Thank you Sylvia! Shall recommend to anyone visiting LA

A wonderful location, with the ocean lapping right outside the studio! Private, peaceful and yet walkable to amenities such as restaurants, coffee and markets. The house that the studio is part of, is remarkable. Real old historic Malibu! Darryl, the wonderful host, made sure we had a great stay. Always responsive and very welcoming. A brilliant host. Air B and B should have more Darryls! Really do recommend this great experience. The lullaby of the sea at night outside your door….and accommodation well catered for. Snacks and wine upon arrival and plenty of extras in the cupboards and fridge. Lovely stay.

Great little house. Super cute. I will caution anyone who wants a soft bed, this is not the place for you. The beds are incredibly firm and make for tough sleeping if you’re a softer bed type. My husband would have loved the beds.

Our most recent visit was our third stay at Kristin and Richard’s place. We love the location. Great for visiting the entire Pasadena and LA area. Their place has tons of character and many thoughtful touches. Kristin and Richard are very friendly and super responsive.

The home was great for what we needed! The home was very nice and the area was peaceful. Would recommend if you need a place to sleep while you go out and about during the day!

We had a very pleasant stay at Amy's place. It is in a quiet location in the hills of Glendale, with easy access to major freeways and good places to eat. The little house was clean, with a well-equipped kitchen, a very comfy bed. The little outdoors space with chairs was a real plus. Street parking was really not that much of a problem, as we were always able to find spots either right across the property or in nearby adjacent streets. Amy communicated promptly and clearly about our check in, which is always appreciated.

Craig was friendly, helpful, responsive, and provided great local recommendations. The Airbnb was exactly what I needed for a solo trip, and the location was quiet despite being only a few blocks south of the busiest part of Hollywood. I highly recommend staying here.

Very comfortable stay close to the Redondo beach pier. Walking distance. Accurate description. Second bedroom bed is tiny. Well stocked kitchen. A lot of restaurants nearby. We had a wonderful time at Wendy's place.

You will never stay in an Airbnb as beautiful or with a host as accommodating. Fari and Nina set the bar for what an Airbnb experience should be. Upon arrival we were greeted by Fari and his lovely wife Nina and made to feel immediately at home. We were lost for words for how beautiful both the location was and also the quality of the property's finish and all of it's contents (the kitchen is better equipped than our kitchen at home!) Fari went the extra mile to ensure we had the most enjoyable trip and were treated like family, as opposed to tenants, throughout the whole stay - whilst also ensuring we had all the privacy we needed. Fari ensured we felt settled in Malibu - providing local expertise and guidance to all the wonderful hiking trails and flora & fauna in the area and showing us the sites. Not forgetting the best daily smoothies! We are truly grateful to both Fari and Nina for having us at their home, and leave feeling like we've gained new friends for life. Until next time

Our hosts were very quick to respond and went out of their way to accommodate our check in post arrival from our flight. The cottage was exactly as described and definitely has a welcoming / homey feel. We enjoyed our vacation, and would recommend staying here! A big thanks to our hosts for allowing us to stay.

We are already considering another stay when time allows. Dahabada was extremely quick in helping with any issues we had, going above and beyond to make us happy and comfortable. The location is a dream for anyone that loves nature.

Comfortable 1-night stay. Clean and cozy. Smooth check-in & check-out. Overall positive experience!
