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.

A great place to stay!
We really enjoyed our stay here. It’s a studio but had more than enough room for me and my boyfriend. It was very clean and very close to the beach and restaurants.

Amazing property & location!
Had an amazing stay here! The apartment is fully renovated, extremely clean and exactly as pictured. The location is a few blocks from the beach and from downtown - which can’t be beat! Brian was also extremely helpful and very easy to communicate with during my stay. Highly recommend. I’m already planning my next trip back!

Manhattan Beach is wonderful and we visit our family there regularly. This location is wonderful-close to the beach and the Strand and all of the shops and restaurants. We stayed in our host’s cozy studio and it is a marvel of design for a small space. EVERY Possible need is anticipated. Our host was very accessible. We could not give a better review.

great location but noisy
small unit, great location, but very noisy (kids) from upstairs unit starting at 7am. We are a young couple from Ariz that grew up in MB area. We came in from dinner/nightclub around midnight+ but noise coming from upstairs was annoying at 7am. Location was great. Walking distance to beach, restaurants ++

Perfection!
Between prompt communication with Brian, 10/10 location, 10/10 amenities (including the little things of rabbit wine opener, air purifier, sonos speakers, nice beach chairs, boogie boards etc), 10/10 cleanliness- highly recommend. Pictures are an accurate depiction of this little studio in the most primo location!

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.

Perfect location
Loved the place. Seems small at first (it is a studio), but the private patio was extremely comfortable and like a total extra room. Very high end finishes and nice touches all around. Two blocks to the beach and two blocks to downtown, Three blocks to grocery. It was perfect.

Lovely, well kept, well appointed studio
Very enjoyable three days at this studio. Excellent location. The living/sleeping area is a bit small, the size of a bedroom, but the bathroom is a good size and the kitchen area big enough to prepare and store food and drink. Thank you for providing such a comfortable home away from home.
