We enjoyed our stay at the Grant home. It was a very family-friendly environment with a nice location. We especially enjoyed grilling and dining in the front yard. It was nice and private. We would certainly stay, again.

My family and I stayed over the holidays in this lovely
cottage. We found it in perfect condition with
everything we needed for our stay. The location is
great, close to the beach but quietly off the beaten
path. Highly recommended! |

| Our family of five stayed at the Grant House for one week this past August. We had a wonderful time and couldn't have been happier with our decision to rent the house. The accomodations were just as described and even exceeded our expectations. Deirdre made our stay hassle-free. Highly recommended! |

| We stayed for 10 days and the house was great. Our son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter came to visit (they live in LA) and two of our other children stayed for 5 of the 10 days. We barbequed in the front yard several times and visited many of the great restaurants in the Santa Monica/LA area. The house was plenty big for what we needed with a great kitchen. Except for a leaky bathtub and a running toilet, we would definitely stay again. |

| We loved the Grant Street home. We stayed 10 days and have a daughter who lives in Santa Monica and Son in West Hollywood. They were over several times because the house felt like a home rather than the appartments they live in. The sun comes in the front porch in the afternoon and we loved to sit and read, listen to the radio, or fall asleep. The beds were superior. The kitchen is large. Lots of room since we had a birthday party one night with several people there to celebrate and it wasn't crowded. A wonderful, relaxing place to stay. I wouldn't consider a hotel room after staying at the Grant Street house. |

Our recent week at Grant House was wonderful and exceeded our expectations. Dierdre, the owner, is very warm and friendly and did everything to make our stay memorable. The property itself is very cozy and charmingly decorated. The surrounding gardens are lovely! We loved our long daily walks along the beach (just a short distance away), ending with a morning coffee on the Promenade. We would definitely stay here again and enthusiastically recommend this property to anyone planning a trip to the area. Having two separate bungalows on the property, also makes it ideal for extended families.

The little blue house was so much better than staying in a hotel! It had everything that was needed and felt like home away from home! I will definitely go back.

| My parents came into town for a brief visit. I put them up at the Blue House. They were able to relax as if they were at home. They enjoyed their stay. I would recommend the property :) |

Just returned from a great family vacation with our teenagers staying at Granthouse in Santa Monica for 10 days. We immediately felt at home in this charming Calfornia bungalow in a quiet and safe neighborhood. A perfect location for area activities and an easy drive into LA or up the Pacific Coast Highway to Malibu.
Our family would love to go back again! |

| The bungalow is just perfect! We stayed there with our two young children for a week in July and loved it. The house is spacious, nicely decorated, bright, and located in a quiet neighborhood, within walking distance to Main street and the beach. The yard is wonderful. We used to live in the area and our stay on Grant street made us feel as if we had never left. We hope to be back soon! |

We rented the bungalow for ten days this spring and were very happy with it. It really is a prime Santa Monica location, and the house is simply gorgeous.
And we will always remember the garden as the magic place where we had our wonderful Easter family brunch and both Grandma and the German grandparents were there for our 2 year-old daughter's first big Easter egg hunt! |

| My wife and I and our two daughters spend a delightful week in the Grant Street house. The location is great: six blocks from the ocean, easy access to both Santa Monica and Venice shops and restaurants, and minutes from the Interstate 10 on ramp. The house was nicely decorated and very clean. Deirdre was responsive to our requests (more hangars, a lightbulb) and set up the wireless internet access so we could use our computers at the house. We would defintely return. |

We just returned from a short trip to LA and were
delighted to find a most congenial spot on Grant
Street. Not only was the location a great launch pad
for all the attractions that LA has to offer but also
the cottage itself was charming, cozy and a real
sweet home away from home. We would like to
thank Deirdre for her hospitality and efficiency and
look forward to staying there again in the future.

| My husband and I and 3 of our grown kids stayed here for a week in summer of '05. We loved it, was perfect for us! Had much more room and was better price than booking 2 rooms in a nearby hotel. The bungalow is very warm and inviting and very nicely decorated, roomy too--has enough rooms/space for each person to go for own quiet time to read or relax, plus a nice yard besides. I especially liked the dining area next to the kitchen and the closed-in porch. The place started feeling like a second home to us by the week's end, so comfortable and cozy. Close to beach, grocery, shopping, etc. I would definitely rent here again and highly recommend it to others. |

| My family and I enjoyed this bungalow retreat so much, we eagerly looked at dates to book again next year. The house is very comfortable- Deidre pays attention to every detail... high end linens, kitchenware, gadgets and stemware. The decor is a perfect cross between Pottery Barn and Crate & Barrel. Very pretty, very tasteful. We were able to store our bikes and boogie boards in the garage, took many bike rides down the hill to lounge with the beatiful people at Urth Cafe and along the beach bike path. Easy access off the highway after a night in LA and a corner store nearby that sells everything from flowers to champagne. Once you unpack, you'll feel like a local! |

Two friends and I from NYC stayed at this homey and warm cottage for a week this past summer. The decor was perfect, and was accented with lots of personal touches which made it feel like a real, lived-in home. The location was prime too. Dierdre, the owner, couldn't have been more
welcoming, helpful and friendly. We all wanted to make it our home! So much better than staying in a cold, impersonal hotel. We would definitely return to Diedre's cozy getaway!
