Getting Around:
Manhattan Beach is naturally walkable, and many guests enjoy exploring the area on foot or by bike. The beach, local cafés, and nearby restaurants are all within easy reach, making it simple to settle into the neighborhood.
For exploring beyond the immediate area, rideshare services are readily available and provide convenient access throughout the South Bay and greater Los Angeles.
During the FIFA World Cup 2026, rideshare is often the most seamless way to travel to and from SoFi Stadium, allowing you to enjoy match days without the added stress of parking.
Game Day Tip:
We recommend scheduling your rideshare in advance and allowing extra time before kickoff, as traffic and demand can increase around stadium events. Returning to Manhattan Beach after the match offers a more relaxed and private setting compared to staying near the stadium.

Oceanview Suite was an excellent stay in Manhattan Beach. It is minutes from the Strand/beach and restaurants/shopping. The attention to detail throughout the Suite were appreciated - including beaching supplies!If you are planning a stay in Manhattan Beach, this unit is recommended.
This property was incredible. Absolute best location in Manhattan Beach. Came with a great supply of items, super responsive host, would LOVE to come back here!!
This property was clean, spacious, and blocks away from EVERYTHING. Plus it was one of the only rentals that offered two king beds. Would definitely stay here again.

A perfect stay! Melissa and Zev were amazing hosts and added so many thoughtful touches to their beautiful Manhattan beach property. From the lovely welcome basket to restaurant recommendations, the wonderfully appointed kitchen and a great selection of streaming services. Very comfortable beds. The location could not be better! We enjoyed the sunset every night from the terrace. We will be back!

First of all- the management was by far the most attentive and helpful of all of the short term rentals that I've dealt with. The place was exactly as advertised and looked like the pictures. It was very clean and extremely well organized. The thoughtfulness and attention to detail were top notch. There are even things that I wouldn't have expected to see like a high chair for the children, and the host left a nice little snack basket with a bottle of wine- awesome touches. I would definitely work with the host/management company again, but I don't think that we would stay at this particular unit as it is downstairs, and if you are unlucky you could have somebody above you that wakes up at 5AM and stomps around (which is what happened to us). Outside of that, the area is basically perfect to walk to the pier or the beach. We would definitely consider staying in the upstairs or front units. If you're a heavy sleeper, this could be a great choice!

We really appreciate you taking the time to share this. It means a lot to hear that the home felt exactly as expected and that the care, organization, and small touches stood out during your stay. That’s exactly the experience we aim to create.
We understand the note about the upstairs noise. Being in a lower unit can occasionally come with that, and we know how much it can impact an early morning. We’re taking this into account on our end as we continue to refine the experience for future guests.
It’s great to hear the location worked so well for you, and we’d love to host you again. We can absolutely help guide you toward one of the upper or front units next time to better match what you’re looking for.
We’re always here whenever you’re ready to plan your next stay.

From start to finish, once again Melissa and Zev (& team) delivered excellence! The property was wonderful, close to beach and all that MB has to offer! Walked everywhere, didn’t drive once. Super clean and really cozy, great amenities, first class all the way. Concierge level service with all the comforts of home. M&Z are the only hosts we will use when we return…very soon!

your kind words warm our hearts! We're delighted you had a wonderful stay, and we're honored to be your hosts of choice. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we can't wait to welcome you back for another exceptional experience soon. Safe travels!
Our family recently had the pleasure of staying at an apartment near Manhattan Beach over Christmas and I must say, it exceeded all of our expectations. The apartment was incredibly well-appointed, offering all the necessary amenities for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. From the stylish decor to the modern appliances, every detail was taken care of.
One aspect that truly stood out during my experience was the excellent communication from the property managers, Zev and Melissa. From the moment I made my reservation, they were prompt and attentive, providing clear and detailed instructions. Any questions or concerns I had were addressed promptly, ensuring a smooth process from start to finish.
The location of the apartment was also ideal, being close to Manhattan Beach. We could easily access the beach and enjoy the beautiful surroundings, great restaurants and shopping within a very short walk.
Overall, I would highly recommend this apartment. It is evident that they truly care about their guests' experience. I look forward to staying here again in the future.
