Tropical Villas of Venice Beach

This is a tiny compound of villas a short walk from the Venice sand, and most of what a beach day needs comes free: loaner bikes, towels, umbrellas, plus a heated outdoor pool. Units add dining areas and refrigerators so you're not eating out three times a day. Small properties rarely keep guests this uniformly happy — 243 reviewers average 4.9.

November through April for Venice's dry, mild season; book well ahead.

Take the free bikes toward North Jetty Beach — riding beats hunting beach parking anywhere in Venice.
