House in Pacific Palisades, CA

About this house rental
Set behind a private gate in Santa Monica Canyon, this estate has been in the same family for sixty years and carries the kind of character that only a century-old home can. It has been thoughtfully refreshed throughout, blending original details and family art with new furnishings chosen for comfort during longer stays.
Through the front door, the home opens in two directions. To the left, the first living room centers on a large sectional and smart TV, with a hallway leading to the kitchen, laundry room, and a second living area with its own couch, TV, and casual dining nook. To the right, the great room holds a long dining table and a piano beneath high ceilings, a natural gathering point for the whole group.
Outside, the pool sits along one side of the home and the private tennis court along the other, reachable from either the great room patio or the second living room`s patio doors. Poolside seating, adjustable umbrellas, a new BBQ, and a lower patio with outdoor couches make the grounds as livable as the interiors. Tennis lessons with the court`s longtime resident pro can be arranged through our team, entirely optional and scheduled around your stay, for an additional cost.
Upstairs, the primary suite features a king bed, a sitting area, a TV, and an en-suite bathroom with a separate shower and soaking tub. Its connected sunroom holds a dedicated desk, a quiet and light-filled place to work. Down the hall, a railroad-style bedroom with two twin XL beds and a bedroom with a king bed share a connecting full bathroom, a setup that works well for families. The king room adds a small walk-in closet, a second desk, and balcony access.
Two private-entry suites round out the sleeping arrangements. Off the upper deck, a fully separated suite offers two full beds, an en-suite bathroom with a shower and tub, and a kitchenette with mini fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. Below, a ground-floor casita with its own entrance includes a king bed, a couch, a TV, a kitchenette, a charming pink-tiled bathroom, and a sauna, ideal for guests who want extra privacy within the group.
A mesh WiFi network delivers roughly 300 Mbps throughout the home, with coverage extending to the pool and tennis court. A world map in the den invites guests to pin where they are visiting from, a small tradition we hope you will add to.
Guests will have access to the entire home, including both private-entry suites, the pool, and the tennis court. A separate rear structure on the property is occupied by a long-term resident with his own private entrance, fully separated from the guest areas; the garage parking area is shared. Other than the weekly gardener and pool service, no one else will access the home or grounds unless discussed with you in advance.

The canyon is quiet and residential, with morning walks to local cafes and quick drives to the shops and restaurants of both Santa Monica and the Palisades. Hiking trails in the Santa Monica Mountains are close by, and the coastline stretches in both directions for beach days and sunset drives along PCH.
