TUSCAN SUN COTTAGE IN WEST LA..
Nestled beside a large stone swimming pool, this generously-sized studio-style stand-alone private guest house is appointed with rustic romantic details, including an open-beamed ceiling, three pairs of French doors and stone and stucco walls. Perfect for a couple or friends and family, this backyard oasis, filled with orange and lemon trees, rosemary and tea roses will transport you to another place and time as you venture past the large stone wall and enter through the rustic arched wood doors of the backyard gate. Note: this cottage is a private guesthouse, located in the far rear of the property.

***The owners do live in the main house on the same property, so please keep this in mind. Also, this is a large studio space, so there are no separate bedrooms. ***

The large 5-person stone hot tub, features effervescent eco-friendly water made super-soft and sparkling clean by ions of silver and copper, plus ozone, and can be heated upon request. Be sure to ask for epsom salts or lavender essential oils to make the experience extra spa-like. Note: Sorry, but the concrete slide is NOT AVAILABLE for guest use.

The cottage's small, but fully efficient sparkling clean kitchenette offers everything you need to enjoy the convenience of cooking quick meals while on vacation, including a large Cosari air fryer/oven, mini refrigerator, microwave, conductive cooktop, Keurig coffee maker (and pour-over carafe), cookware, service ware, basic condiments and more. Dine indoors or out; the cottage table can expand to seat up to 6 people.

Grill and dine outdoors: BBQ memorable meals in the outdoor kitchen, which includes high-end stainless steel BBQ grill, two gas side burners and large French door refrigerator and deep outdoor sink. The bar counter has three chairs for al fresco dining. And a small bistro table with two chairs makes the perfect poolside spot for a cup of coffee or a glass of wine.

Lovely Property and Lovely Hosts
What a wonderful property!!! Tucked away in Beth and Milo's backyard, next to the pool and spa, this is a comfortable, quiet little oasis. If you enjoy meeting property hosts, you will really enjoy staying here. Milo was the host with the most! He gave us amazing recommendations for food close by, prepared the spa for us and sent us on our way with fresh-picked oranges. A very memorable experience indeed!

One night stay
We came to visit Santa Monica Pier. I was with my daughter and her friend. This rustic little place was clean and comfortable. The check in was very detailed. Milo is very friendly and proud of his home. This cottage is in the back yard behind a main house. Depending on your taste this place may mot be for travelers who like privacy or little to no interaction with their host. My daughter and her friend enjoyed the hot tub. Milo came to check on them several times and told them some good stories. They said that they felt they were vacationing with Milo.

This cottage is stunning!
One of those unique gems that exceeds expectations. While the pictures are accurate, they don’t do the place justice. The setting and architecture whisk you away to the European countryside and make you forget that you’re in the middle of Los Angeles. I’ve stayed in the English Cotswolds and this cozy cottage would have fit right in there. In addition, the owners Beth and Milo were more than hospitable and made sure I️ had everything I needed for my stay. They couldn’t have been more accommodating and flexible. I️ have stayed in dozens of rentals - this has been my best experience. I frequent LA often and hope to revisit this cottage as soon as my travels allow. Thank you Beth & Milo for sharing your beautiful space with the rest of us!

A great hideaway in LA
I stayed here while dropping my son off at UCLA. It was perfect. Very clean and comfortable and close to restaurants, the highway, etc. The unit is behind the main house, but it is still private. The host was very helpful and easy to connect to. Best of all the bed was as amazing. I would stay here again.

We loved this cottage and will stay here on every future visit. I have never seen such a clever, well-planned and charming space. You will not need anything. Milo has thought of every detail. He was a gracious and fascinating host and a wealth of information. Absolutely no issues with parking on the street. There was always a spot. This is a nice neighborhood.

Beautiful Property / Strange Host
The property was beautiful, the beds were comfy and the pool was a lovely addition. The property is near the freeway and in the flight path of LAX--which you only notice if outside. While the property was lovely, I wouldn't stay there again. The host Milo was often outside (& super chatty) if we were outside, so it didn't feel like we had much privacy if we were outside of the villa. And he also made an inappropriate comment to my friend about "chasing her" if "he were younger."

Sunlight streaming in the windows, orange trees shading the yard, and just the perfect intimate oasis. Such nice energy all around. Milo and Beth were attentive and lovely hosts. We had a peaceful week with restorative dips in the hot tub -- and easy access to great restaurants. The neighborhood is wonderfully walkable--with groceries and coffee close by.

Milo and Beth are kind, attentive, helpful, and a pleasure to know. The accommodations were spotless and charming and comfortable and quiet . We loved the hot tub.
