MORE INFO:

• You will have the entire house to yourself. You’ll have full and private access to the living room, bathroom, bedrooms and kitchen. Additionally, there is a romantic outdoor dining room for your use.

• There is a one-time, non-refundable cleaning fee of $100. If you would like me to arrange weekly (or bi-weekly) cleaning, there is an additional fee of $150 for each time the cleaning crew is here. The schedule for cleaning can be arranged to accommodate your schedule. Payments must be made in advance by PayPal.

• To reserve the dates you request, please send 50% of the nightly rental fee plus the cleaning fee. If the deposit is sent before 2 weeks of your arrival, payment for the full amount by personal or business check is fine. Secure payment with credit card may be made on-line with PayPal.

• A refundable damage deposit of $500 is also required to reserve your dates.

• Reservation will not be considered guaranteed until I receive your deposit, ½ the nightly fee, cleaning fee and signed rental agreement.

• The balance is due 14 days before arrival. Payment must be made by credit card through PayPal. (I never see your credit card number.) PLEASE NOTE: I DO NOT TAKE BANK CHECKS.

• Two people are most comfortable in the main bedroom with queen-sized bed. A second bedroom has a comfortable European sofabed that’s great for one person (or two little ones). An additional guest may sleep on the spiffy orange sofabed in the living room. Additional guests (beyond two people), regardless of age, cost $25/night per additional guest.

• If you need to cancel, a full refund will be offered for cancellations made 60 days or more before the time of rental. Refunds after that time are scaled to how close to the rental date the cancellation is made, and is spelled out in the rental agreement. And, if I rent the house during the time you had anticipated staying here, I will refund your money in full.

MORE ABOUT THE HOUSE:

• More photos: www.magicalsantamonicabungalow.sawitonline.com/1970866 Move your cursor over the photos at the bottom to enlarge photos without downloading.

• Good stuff: It’s an 800 sq ft Spanish-style bungalow built in 1927. Kitchen has been recently remodeled (see note below). Lots of strong, hot water in the shower. Great tub for bathing. Really relaxing front porch dining “room.” Whole house is Wified, so you can take your laptop onto the porch, or lounge in bed and answer e-mails. Charming front yard with tall hedges that keep it private. Roomy desk in living room for working. Very bright and airy. Lots of skylights. I’m into bright colors, as you can see from the photos!

• Bungalow is on the grounds of a guest house (Casita) that is also being rented as a vacation rental, so you are likely to meet some interesting people! In the past, two Canadian girlfriends in the travel business BBQ’d with a Russian businessman here with his sister. A French documentary producer joined two parties I held to talk about my summer in Syria…

• Not so good stuff, so there are no misunderstandings: It’s not a perfect home (yet!). Glass on kitchen cabs aren’t done. Landscaping in back yard isn’t complete. That’s why this is such a good bargain.

Overall, it’s a comfortable, charming house with a roomy kitchen in a great neighborhood.

• Parking on street is available, but tight. I park in front of the house, blocking my driveway, so my neighbors know that’s “my” spot, which you can use.

• Please, no smoking in the house. I’m OK with smoking on the porch.
