Mod accents and warm wood create a truly serene space at Venice Sanctuary. Set in the heart of an oceanfront neighborhood, this newly built vacation rental is a contemporary masterpiece. Bring your surfboards and hit the coast’s famous breaks, or use this luxury property as a stylish base for exploring greater Los Angeles.

The villa opens to outdoor spaces on four levels: a ground-floor private courtyard with a sitting area, two stories of wraparound balconies and a stunning rooftop terrace with 2,000 square feet of space and views stretching from Venice Pier to the Getty Museum to the ocean. It even has an elevator to whisk you from one level to the next. For outdoor entertaining, there’s a barbecue; for indoor soirees, there’s a media room.

A collaboration between Venica Properties and architect Breakform Design, this sleek home is a modern take on the beach house. At its heart is an open-concept great room stretching the length of the house, with living and dining areas at one end and a fully equipped kitchen and family room at the other. Custom finishes such as dark bronze, double-glazed windows, white oak floors, handsome walnut cabinetry and quartzite countertops lend a refined feel throughout.

The villa’s four bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, can accommodate up to eight friends or family members on a California holiday together. There are two bedrooms with king beds and balconies, including the master suite, one bedroom with a queen bed and one with two twin bunk beds that’s perfect for younger guests.

From Venice Sanctuary’s location on a pedestrian-friendly street, it’s a 2-minute walk to Venice Beach and a 6-minute walk to the Venice Canals; restaurants and shops are also easily accessible on foot. Take a drive to the rugged trails at Topanga State Park, the world-class collection at the Getty Center or stop off for a honeymoon-worthy dinner at one of the oceanfront restaurants perched along the coast.
