Charming beach home,remodeled,steps to the beach 2 blks downtown Manhattan beach

This charming remodeled studio is our home away from home. This is our family vacation home so we remodeled it with all the creature comforts of home. We have a combo LG Wash/dryer, dual head shower to rinse your feet or just wash your hair from being at the beach all day. The kitchen offers a full size refrigerator and freezer to hold all those left overs from our world famous restaurants. Want to walk to the beach for the day? No problem, we supply the cooler for drinks and snacks, beach towel, beach chairs, blanket and boogie board.
Before an all day beach day we like to grab breakfast at Uncle Bill's or The Kettle (open 24 hours.) Grab some coffee across the street at Starbucks or our local brew before heading to the beach.
After an amazing day at the beach, we like to walk to dinner and our favorite is Esperanza for a margarita and some amazing upscale Mexican food (reservations a must). Sometimes we want something a little lighter, so we rock paper scissor between Sugarfish or The Izaka-ya(reservations a must for both). Don't worry, not in the mood for Mexican food or sushi? Manhattan Beach downtown has everything from pizza to fine dining.
Forgot a few things before heading back, no problem the Vons grocery store is a local favorite.
Want to unwind before you head to bed, turn on the outdoor lights, sit down and warm yourself with our fire pit and enjoy your favorite beverage. Don't forget a light jacket it gets a little chilly at night.
We added a few designer touches to the place like Walker Zanger tile, a Brizo shower system, a Viking induction stove, Bosch refrigerator and Microwave/oven. We even have a separate hot and cold water system. A Nest thermostat that controls the air conditioning and heat. Want coffee for the morning? We have a Keurig pod system with a variety of favors. All this and a new 55" OLED Sony TV with stereo speakers.
I think we went over budget on the remodel but I think you'll enjoy all the little touches we added to our home.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a dining table.

A precious quaint studio in the heart of beautiful Manhattan Beach. Perfect for couples looking for a weekend ocean getaway. Brian is an amazing host who went above & beyond in making sure we had everything we need. Accommodating and resourceful in giving us the lay of the land and plenty of recommendations. We’ll be back!!

Comfortable and clean

This was a great stay. The place is very clean and comfortable with everything you might need and more. Brian was very responsive and friendly. The bed, which is a Murphy bed, was surprisingly comfortable. The street noise wasn’t bad, even though it sits on a corner. The walk to the beach is short, but it’s a little steep on the way up. It’s got a nice little outdoor space with comfortable furniture. Lots of boutique shopping and restaurants nearby, including a grocery store within walking distance. I’d definitely stay here again.

Manhattan Charm

Apartment was very well appointed. We had everything we needed. Loved the courtyard, fire pit, grill…home was just what the 2 of us needed. We loved the location, walked to breakfast, dinner and the beach with ease. 2 of our best nights, though, were spent in the courtyard. NY Strip steaks from Manhattan grocery, wine and veggies under a blanket around the fire….ideal. Our host, Brian was great. Check in and out was easy, and he was quick to reply/attend to anything we needed. We will be back!!

Ideal location

One of my favorite beaches and towns in the L.A. area! The Studio was very well appointed down to the very minute details to ensure comfort. Frankly for oneof the smaller VRBO's I wasn't expecting as much - but this place had it all. Proximity to town and beach and amenities all a 10.

Perfect Stay with an Amazing Host

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful VRBO property, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! From the moment we arrived, the host was incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. He provided all the information we needed and was always available for any questions. The space itself was clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated, with all the amenities we could ask for. Each day was filled with relaxation and fun, thanks to the cozy atmosphere and the stunning surroundings. Our host went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, even sharing great local recommendations for dining and activities. Every interaction was pleasant and genuine, making our stay even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a fantastic place to stay with a host who truly cares, this is the spot for you! I can’t wait to return!

Perfect Beach Getaway

We really love the location of this stay within walking distance to the beach and restaurants. The host was flexible and communicated with us well including giving us suggestions on places to go. The kitchen was the perfect size to make meals, we enjoyed having the laundry facilities, the beach chairs, and towels, and the great amenities outside, including the grill and fire pit. Provided parking was great! We especially thought that the classic books for beach reading that were available was a nice gesture. Highly recommend.

Top experience!

Brian’s immaculate studio is comfortable, pleasant, very well-provisioned, and maintained to perfection. It’s compact (as other reviews mention) but the outdoor patio (really more like an Al fresco living room) more than compensates. What a special spot! We loved jogging along the Strand, walking to the beach for the afternoon, meeting friends for lunch, and going out for drinks/dinner.. ALL WITHIN BLOCKS. We can’t wait to return— a perfect couples getaway. As nice as a hotel but with my own coffee in AM and laundry.

Excellent location, attention to detail!

This was a great spot to stay - super convenient and in one of the best possible locations. The apartment is small, but the attention to detail and amenities are perfect with many extra/thoughtful touches throughout. Literally has everything you need. The bathroom is very large, and the outdoor patio is big and private - so you have even more living space available to make it feel even bigger. Perfect for short stays, but definitely doable for longer. Would love to stay again on my next time through. Thank you!
