Sunlight filters through a bamboo grove and avocado tree to dapple casual-chic outdoor areas and mid-century-inspired indoor ones at this L.A. retreat. It’s designed for indoor-outdoor living, and large-scaled artwork in the garden invites closer viewing as walls of windows invite greenery indoors. It’s a short drive from street performances and shops along the Venice Beach boardwalk.

Sunny California days call for backyard lounging, whether underneath the oversized bear mural or around the barbecue. Vine-covered walls keep the alfresco living and dining areas totally private. On cooler evenings, head inside to cozy up around the indoor fireplace.

Mid-century influences pair up with Scandi minimalism to give the villa its own pared-down chic. The living spaces start flowing right at the entry, where a glass door opens to a living area with a beamed ceiling, a dining area with a pedestal table, and a light-drenched, fully equipped kitchen with a breakfast bar. A studio with its own living area and kitchenette opens to a bistro-style table outside.

A stay at this villa puts you close to the best of Venice: its beach, boardwalk, and the treasure trove of Abbot Kinney Boulevard. Book a surf lesson or stroll along the sand at sunset; watch street performers, skaters, and basketball players do their thing along the boardwalk; and find one-of-a-kind dishes and souvenirs at local food trucks, restaurants, and boutiques.
