Lovely Manhattan Beach locale

We had a great stay in Manhattan Beach at this lovely home. Steps from the beach with a beautiful beach view. Very comfortable and clean. we stayed for 2 weeks and me and my husband both had adequate space and privacy when we were working. Loved walking into town and walking to the beach- seconds away from the strand. Jane was very helpful and responsive. We will be back!

Great Manhattan Beach Location

This property really is perfect, from the home’s comfortable layout to the walk-street location. It’s hard to find a property that works well for us. We are quite particular on what we want in a vacation property and this one had all the boxes checked. Nice outside space to enjoy the views and the sunny California weather. Very clean and nicely appointed with a comfortable bed and attractive furniture. Plus, having a garage is great this close to the beach where street parking can be challenging at times. Overall, we would highly recommend this property.

Best location, graciously outfitted

We spent the week biking, walking and relaxing in this amazing cottage by the sand. It was comfortable and spacious, and included many kitchen conveniences and staples. We had a car (garage included!) but walked to a different great restaurant most nights. We've already booked a return visit. Could easily have done without a car and might next time, using the savings to extend our stay!

About the host

Hosted by Kristen Harvey

The owners, Jane and Terry, have been Manhattan locals for 50 years. They live nearby and can offer advice, information and personal attention during your stay at the Beach Cottage.

Why they chose this property

Our family purchased our beach cottage to enjoy the unique small town environment of Manhattan Beach….Manhattan is only twenty minutes from downtown Los Angeles and ten minutes from LAX but a million miles away from the tempo of the big city. Now that our children are grown we have the opportunity to share our second home with others.

What makes this property unique

The Cottage is located on a quiet residential walk street two short blocks from the sand, water, strand and v-ball courts. It is a quick walk to MB Pier, amazing restaurants, Farmer's Market (Tues. 11-4), the Plaza, and several grocery stores (Vons. Whole Foods, Bristol Farms, Boccato's.) are just minutes away. We are 15 mins from LAX, and 40 minutes from Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm.

If Christmas is a travel time for you, don't miss viewing the amazing Manhattan Beach fireworks show from our balcony or from the beach sand.
