10min. UBER/LYFT to property from LAX.
Here in Manhattan Beach, many historic homes and buildings are torn down without fanfare to make room for new constructions…but we couldn't bear to give that same death sentence to this charismatic 1930's Spanish-style villa!
Manhattan Beach is the perfect location for this personality-packed home, which is a less than 5-minute walk to the ocean and one of the Beach’s best surf spots (we're located on a walk street so accessing the beach couldn't be easier). And it’s also perfect for those who wish to escape to a laid back place by the sea that’s still just 5 minutes from LAX—and centrally located near downtown LA, Hollywood, Long Beach, Santa Monica, Venice, and Anaheim/Disneyland, too.
Manhattan Beach is the kind of place where locals come to walk their dogs on The Strand’s walking / biking path and escape the more tourist-heavy beaches. From this rental, all of Manhattan Beach’s perks are in close walking distance—like the ocean, shops and restaurants on Manhattan Beach Blvd & Pier to the south, and shops & bars to the north.
This home sleeps 4, with one California King bed in the bedroom, one bath, and one plush sofa bed. Other perks include washer/dryer, free WiFi, and one private parking spot—believe me, you’ll want one in this area!
The Home is just the right size for a couple, small family, or a traveling business professional.
My husband and I fell in love with the home’s history, and throughout our recent remodel, we took great care to maintain its colorful personality and heritage and enhanced its existing beauty with Spanish tile work, rich turquoise paint, and vintage artwork from Mexico.
Wake up and fry an egg in the sunny eat-in kitchen, using the vintage, professionally refurbished O'Keefe & Merritt cobalt blue stove. We LOVE this delightful stove, and so do our guests—in fact, we find it provides a more even heat than today’s sleek, modern models.
A turquoise back splash, custom-made self closing cabinets and dining area with exotic monkey pod wood bar top and vintage tractor seat stools give the whole kitchen the feel of a fun Mexican restaurant—a great space to spend a night in.
The bathroom includes a brand new, cast iron claw foot tub with shower. Sink into it with a glass of wine! The toilet and pedestal sink are brand new, too. But we maintained the Spanish influence with custom made tiles, a new light fixture from Mexico, and a vibrant paint color.
One of our guests called it a “mini Mexican mansion”— The home is decorated with beautiful authentic Mexican furniture, light fixtures and artwork for our guests to enjoy.
There are ocean breeze blowing in through the many gorgeous new double hung windows. Dimmers on most of the lights throughout the home create a special glow and ambiance in the evening.
COME AND SEE US!
We’d love to have you at this charming beach close villa in Manhattan Beach. We know you’ll fall in love with it as we did.
You have California beach living at its best! NO PARTIES ALLOWED.

Absolutely perfect hideaway in Manhatten Beach, we travel there often and plan to make this our go to destination whenever we visit LA. The host was very attentive and helpful in every way. So happy we found this property. Scott and Holly
Our second stay and even better than the first. Location is perfect, easy walk to beach and restaurants. Annette is a fantastic host, friendly and very responsive. We look forward to our next visit!
Nice area. Easy to access property and a short walk to the beach. About a half mile one way to shops and restaurants and a mile the other way, so fairly central. Two blocks to the beach. Host was great, no issues. Seamless stay.
Perfect location to access the beach as well as great restaurants and bars in both MB and El Porto. Annette was super accommodating and I would 100% stay again.
I loved this place! Annette was very helpful and attentive. I enjoyed the outdoor spaces as well as the close proximity to beach and many great restaurant options within walking distance.

Great Beach House
This is a very cute and clean place to stay just a short walk to the beach. Annette is very responsive and goes above and beyond to make your stay comfortable. There are many nice places to eat close by.
My wife and i had a great time in Manhattan Beach. The host was amazing and kept us well informed for entry and parking. The apartment was very clean and exactly as advertised.
Perfect home for a Manhattan Beach getaway. Just a super short walk to the beach. Plenty of great restaurants in walking distance. Annette, the owner, was a wonderful host and made sure we enjoyed our stay. We will definitely be back!
Easy in and out, walk to beach, comfy bed and pillows! Great hosts who left us some treats at check in! Easy to get to, love the MB vibe. Cool tile and vintage range/oven,clawfoot tub. Excellent commination. Would definitely stay here again!
Annette and Chris were amazing hosts!So thoughtful and kind. The property is in a great location, within walking distance to everything we wanted or needed. I'd highly recommend staying here!
This little casita was a perfect retreat! Everything in the home is done spot on to its aesthetic. So comfortable to work, play, or simply be. Annette is a perfect host - very caring and responsive. Would not hesitate one moment to stay here again!
Place was perfectly located, it had all the characteristics I was looking for, close to the beach and the tows. It was cozy and the property manager was wonderful, they made us feel right at home.

A Great Stay!
We had a wonderful time here and loved how conveniently located it was to everything! Close and within walking distance to the beach and restaurants. We were able to spend our visit in both the upstairs and downstairs units and felt comfortable in both. Annette was extremely accommodating and a great host. It made the trip all that much better!
Gorgeous in every way. The place was decorated in perfect detail. The location was close to great restaurants and 2 blocks to the beach. We ran on the Strand and rode bikes all the way to Redondo Beach. The owner Annette was so friendly and welcoming. She made us feel right at home. We will definitely stay here again.

Cute little villa very close to the beach.
We had a nice stay at this charming villa. It was a nice walk to the beach from here. It is definitely small and probably best for two people. We would have liked some sort of outside space to hang out at. The owner was very kind and accommodating with our flight schedule.
This 1 bedroom has incredible LA charm. The house is beautifully decorated with colorful tiles inside and along the patio. Annette and Chris planned the perfect mix of modern amenities with vintage interior design. They have a really good eye to capture the era of the house. Their home is surrounded by very modern homes but they preserved their home to reflect on the 1930s-50s. As hosts they are on top of everything. They have a passion for travel and are keen on making sure guests are comfortable.
This precious place was perfect for my 2 teen daughters & myself as they played in a beach volleyball tournament. The decor is fun & the location cannot be beat. You can see the ocean from the new patio still under construction, and the designated parking spot is very helpful. Coffee shops & restaurants within walking distance too. The owners are super responsive and attentive, and if you need anything they are quick to oblige.

Amazing Beach House!
This house was perfect for a weekend beach trip! A paved pathway straight onto the beach. Cute little house with plenty of room, very clean and great condition. Owners are great to work with and so generous! Walking distance from lots of good places to eat. Such a fun place! (We rented the lower unit)
