Excellent location - LOVELY being able to walk down to the beach (coffee in hand) every morning, and our son was in seventh heaven playing volleyball on the beach every day!Great set-up for a family of five, and our son's dog. We appreciated having a clear separation between us and our adult children, upstairs and downstairs. Great, prompt assistance from Eileen!
Really great place just steps to the beach. The house is well maintained and comfortable. The neighborhood is fantastic, with several cafes, small grocers and restaurants.
The location was great, walking distance to the ocean and a great surf spot. The house was clean and easy to check into and out of. Very kind and communicative host.
Loved the location of this property-best part for sure. Steps to the beach, great access to the strand. Bathrooms need some updating, kids were not able to use the tub. Overall a nice spot for a good value to explore MB
Lovely little municipality, family/neighborhood oriented, hop skip and jump down to beach. You could see and hear the beach waves. The property manager was a text/call away.
This place saved us when our previous VRBO rental canceled the day before our trip! The communication with the property manager was top notch & much appreciated to make us feel more comfortable with a last minute booking. The house is a little quirky but cute. It was only a few minute walk to the beach, so we went down every morning and walked the beach which was amazing. It is a pretty steep hill to get back to the house, just something to keep in mind if anyone has mobility issues. All in all it was a great stay!
This is the perfect place to stay if you are looking for a short walk to the beach. It was spacious and comfortable. If you are up for walking, it is only a mile and a half from the Manhattan Beach Pier and downtown. Close to lots of restaurants and yet quiet and chill. Our host, Eileen, was amazing and was on top of all communication. Highly recommended and would book again.
The place was clean, comfortable and very well located. We had everything we needed. Eileen was absolutely lovely, extremely helpful and communicative. My complaint is about the area, not the accommodations. None of the reviews mentioned that the short walk to the beach is actually down an extremely steep hill. All roads leading to the beach look like San Francisco - was not expecting that. Just beware if you have any mobility issues. Parking is terrible everywhere so everyone walks. If I were younger and had better ankles, it would have been better.
The house was perfectly sized and well appointed for me and my friend! It’s a wonderful location - a quick walk to the beach and The Strand. The host was communicative and helpful. I would highly recommend this property and host for a trip to Manhattan Beach!
Great stay, quiet, professional from start to finish 1st time VRBO user, would definitely use again Thank you to the host for having me in your property
Great location! This place is down the street from the beach! Very clean, spacious and comfortable. WiFi was provided to us! I would definitely recommend this place. I would stay here again!
We enjoyed our stay by the beach, being able to walk to the beach and restaurants/shops each day. We had a little issue during our stay, but the host was very responsive and got it addressed within a couple hours. We would gladly stay there again sometime.
What a wonderful house for our weekend girls trip! Four of us gathered for a getaway and thoroughly enjoyed the easy proximity to beach and town. The house itself is perfectly located a block from the beach and has a front porch that affords a view over the water. Inside had more than enough space for the four of us with two full bathrooms and a great kitchen. We just cabbed in and out of town which meant we parked our cars and never moved them until we left. The hostess is incredibly responsive and kind. We hope to make repeat appearances at this property!

Every single knob on every kitchen cabinet was sticky. I tried to wipe them all down but gave up. The kitchen cabinets were all sticky as were the drawers in the kitchen cabinets. The silverware drawer has food crumbs all through it. The kitchen drain had serratia marcescens growing all over the drain cover. When i removed the sheets on my bed to wash as requested, there was a 4-5 inch diameter stain in the middle of the bed. There was sand on the floor under the table before we even walked torward the strand. We used the stove and a pan for making tea and the toaster. The kitchen and bathrooms cabinets are painted dark brown and then hit with something to chip away the paint and wood. The TV sound was unintelligible. The good news was we were visiting rwlatives in Hermosa Beach and we didn't need to spend much time or cook there. The friend who shared the space with me wants to do her own review.
This is a lovely beach cottage. Two blocks from a gorgeous beach and close to some really good restaurants. The owner was very easy to get a hold of and very accommodating.
Great property for a family getaway in an excellent Manhattan location!
Plenty of room for my family (three kids under 13) and a short walk to the beach.
Amenities within walking distance and the property manager is fantastic.
Looking forward to coming back again!
