Most healing and relaxing stay!
This place is exceptional! I was looking for a charming and peaceful place by the water to reset after a rough few years and Bibi offers this and much more! First of all, the location literally could not be better. You can see the ocean and also hear the waves at night. It is sheer perfection! Although very quiet, you are still right in the mix in terms of convenience and access. You have anything you could need within a short walk. Bibi is the most gracious and attentive host. I was having an issue with the dishwasher and within a few days there was brand new one installed! Can't say enough good things about my stay. I was sad to say goodbye!

Perfection on the Beach
We stay in many short vacation rentals and this has been the best experience. This precious home is in the most perfect location in the Hermosa/Manhattan Beach area. It is right in the middle of both areas. The beach is a two minute walk and youโre on the sand. We were there for almost a month and did not need a car. We walked and rode the bikes provided on site all at round the area. Kelly is an incredible host! She provided beach chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, boogie boards and all! We canโt wait to come back to the beach and we will absolutely stay in Kellyโs placeโฆ.perfection on the beach!

Great location
The proximity to the beach and location between MB and Hermosa were superb and were the best things about the property as far as we were concerned. Araceli, the owner, was friendly and easy to interact with. The apartment itself was not luxurious, but was comfortable for the two of us. We did not find the outdoor space enticing. All and all we had an enjoyable one month stay.

Amazing month at the beach
Bibiโs place in Hermosa beach checked all my boxes - dog friendly, less than a block to strand/beach, bikes available, AC, near many restaurants and garage so I booked it! I stayed a month from early August to early September and just worked remote during the week and had different friends visiting each weekend!
The place is very comfortable and cozy and me and my little dog felt right at home. The beds were super comfortable and Bibi was an excellent host - available if needed but otherwise out of sight. Loved everything about my stay!

A real gem!
Bibi's place is a real gem. The cute little apartment is decorated tastefully with a cozy feel. It is situated in beautiful North Hermosa Beach, just a minute walk to the pristine and vast beaches. The cross breeze from the place was wonderful. We left the window open and didn't need the a/c. Only on the weekends did the beach not feel like it was practically our own. The location can't be beat. We took nightly walks along the Strand. There is also a bike path right there before the beach. Her place is half way between the Manhattan Beach Pier and the Hermosa Beach Pier. The little gourmet grocery is a 30 second walk and came in handy for the items we needed on the fly. We shopped at Ralph's for most items, only a 5-10 minute car ride away.
We love to cook and we found her kitchen well-equipped. I bought a new salad spinner though since the place didn't have one. The appliance were new and clean. The kitchen bar was great for breakfast but we used the patio downstairs for dinners and planned meals. We also used the scrabble game and enjoyed the little library. Beach towels, chairs and umbrella were also much appreciated.
For any questions Bibi was just a text away. She responded kindly and promptly. The patio down stairs was lovely, as the shrubs and plants give it a Mediterranean feel. My only complaint is that sometimes the odor from her dog's droppings permeated to our side of the patio. I felt though that she did address this issue as best she could.
I would definitely rent this place again. A little slice of paradise indeed!

My beach vacation
This home was the perfect size for me . I was mostly there alone, but had family there part of the time. - 2 little dogs visiting also. Smal, but perfect size for 2 couples and 2 small dogs. The gated downstairs area was good for the dogs. It could have been sunnier for me. Close to the beach, but surrounded by houses in an alley. There is one bathroom in the house between the bedrooms.- small. The other bathroom is in the garage- not usefull as a second bathroom, but nice for bathroom needs when on the beach. The bathroom is the alley entrance to the house. Very clean and beach. Owner very accessible for things needing to be fixed or questions.

Amazing experience
The property is clean, well located and has all that you need. Having Boccatto nearby was very convenient. We enjoy riding bicycle in the strand in the afternoons. The beach is 1 minute walking from the property. Arceli was amazing and took care of all our needs. I love this place.

Comfortable Stay Close to Beach
My husband and I enjoyed our stay in Hermosa Beach. The apartment is very clean and comfortable for a couple or a small family. Many beach amenities available and just 2 minute walk to the Strand. It was great to get into the SoCal sunshine first thing in the morning and take walk on beach! Easy to get to Manhattan Beach or Hermosa piers, restaurants, and shops on foot. Enjoyed covered garage parking downstairs when car needed. Very impressed with kitchen amenities since I frequently prepare my own meals. Lots of restaurant or delivery options if you don't cook. There are 2 bathrooms but one requires you to go outside and downstairs to garage. We did not use it. For just my husband and I the one bathroom worked out. In summer the downstairs bathroom would be handy for rinse off after swimmimg. Great to have laundry facilities. Bibi was very responsive to communication. There is a lot of construction going on all over HB and Manhattan Beach. We did not find it to be an issue because we were out and about doing things and workers were gone when we returned. Overall we were happy with our decision to stay at Bibis' apartment and would recommend. The reason for our visit was to see our family in MB and it worked out perfect for us.

LOVE THIS BEACH HOUSE
Waking up to the sounds of the waves crashing on the beach . The beds were so comfortable and clean . Really feels like home with all the amenities we have at home . Every day was a new adventure, the owner provided bikes , we rode to the end of the strand / board walk and back . We stopped along the way and had lunch . We are planning on coming back before the end of summer . I really recommend this house , it's perfectly located in the center of both beach Piers, shops & restaurants .

Lovely, perfect beach house!
My husband and I just left this lovely home after staying for 7 weeks. It was perfect for us. The area is safe and very quiet ( not to mention, the homes on the Strand are Amazing!) It was a block from the beach where we watched beautiful sunsets. I walked on the Strand every day (the home is between the Hermosa and Manhatten Beach piers). Boccatos market is just around the corner. I could pick up fresh meats and veggies or they have wonderful sandwiches. You don't need a car but there is garage parking. Also, there is a new washer and dryer available. The interior is up to date, very clean and super comfortable. We will stay here again!
