Wonderful spot

Can't explain in words how wonderful a stay it was for us this past weekend! It felt very warm and welcoming, was close to the beach, and served as refuge during the storms that approached this past weekend. Would recommend.

One of the best houses we have ever stayed in!

This was an adorable house right in the middle of Manhattan Beach and a block from the ocean. Very upscale with all the bells and whistles! We very much enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this property. We didn’t want to leave!

City Beach life

This place is all about the location. Two blocks to the beach and surrounded by shops and restaurants. The unit itself is comfortable. There is a nice ocean breeze to cool it down on a hot day. Multiple trash trucks are in the alley daily picking up from the businesses which are quite noisy but nights are fairly quiet. Would recommend.

Perfect Beach Cottage

The perfect cozy just the right little bit of funky beach house. Get up, grab your coffee at Starbucks one block away and head for a fabulous stroll on one of the worlds best beaches. The host is primo. Enjoy the fresh flowers she left you and the yummy snacks and treats she puts out for your stay. Very responsive and couldn’t be nicer. This is my second stay!!

Perfect getaway for this sun seeking active woman!

Fantastic host - responsive and had great recommendations! I felt at home immediately and extremely safe as my son didn’t come until the last weekend. The place is quiet yet super close to everything. I walked on the strand 5-6 miles daily, biked(they have in the garage!), played pickleball a mile away, golfed and enjoyed the beach and watching the volleyballers! Loved the boutique shopping a block away and even went out for great food and some nightlife a couple blocks away - Location, location, location as they say!!! Had forgotten how much I love Manhattan Beach! The beach house was fully stocked in the kitchen and there is a grocery store two blocks away. Honestly I don’t think I could have enjoyed my time any better as the host even provided some great pampering items to enjoy a bit of self indulgence! I’d definitely stay again!

Perfect beach spot

The place was spotlessly clean with two ver comfortable beds. It was more like staying in someone’s home as there were plenty of cooking supplies, body products and fresh towels. The spa was wonderful and ready to go( there is not a pool) but I didn’t think there was- it’s an error on the listing. Check in and out was a breeze- nice late checkout. We enjoyed the beach bikes- there are three. There is also one boogie board. One thing that was strangely missing was a dining room table- only a breakfast bar for two- so eating together or doing art projects or a puzzle is difficult. Location was great for many good restaurants and a quick walk to the beach or grocery store. No need for a car, and quiet at night. Two big flat screen HD TVs as well.

Prime Location, Amazing Host

This house is an amazing property and located a short walk away from Manhattan Beach pier. Everything you need is right there within walking distance. Darci was an amazing host! Easy to talk to and communicate and very accommodating with check in and check out times. Very communicative and available when needed. Will definitely rent from her again. The best experience I’ve had from a host!

Perfect location in Manhattan Beach

The cottage is nicely furnished with great spaces to spread out including the downstairs patio area with nice breezes, fire pit and two person hot tub. The bed and couch are super comfortable and the upstairs deck with view was fabulous for sunsets. This property is perfectly placed in the heart of Manhattan Beach with dozens of restaurants, bars and shops just steps away. We visited the beach daily which was a quick 5 minute walk from the cottage. Even though we were in the heart of everything things were very quiet in the evenings making for great sleeping with lots of fresh saltwater air!
