Palm Paradise

This effortlessly stylish bungalow captures Santa Monica's easy, breezy attitude. There are 1970s vibes galore in the home, with sliding pine doors, a mosaiced jet bathtub and pops of burgundy and olive green against whitewashed walls.

Whether you're spending months or days here, the thoughtful details make it ideal for remote working, from the coffee bar with its different presses and drips, through to the home study and standing desk designed to keep you productive throughout the day.

When it's time to kick back and relax, there are sun loungers, a fire pit and a barbecue in the garden for you to enjoy as you soak up the Californian sunshine. If you're feeling inspired by nearby Muscle Beach, there's a mini home gym in the cute cabana, where you can keep in shape.

Santa Monica Pier and Venice Beach are both within easy reach for a day by the sea, and a short drive will take you into LA to experience its ever-changing line-up of world-renowned bars and restaurants.
