About this apartment rental
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.

I highly recommend this place. Very clean with updated appliances. Steps away from all that Manhattan Beach to offer. Owner is very helpful with communications and recommendations.

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.

Loved this special gem of a place! Perfectly located just steps to the beach, shops and restaurants. The unit has everything you need to be comfortable with nice appliances, amenities, etc. Loved that all the switches are labeled so you're not hunting for which light is which! Great Wi-Fi as well. Super place to work and play - will be back!

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.

This property has more than enough amenities included. Anything you might need other than groceries is included. Host is super responsive and place is so clean and comfortable . I was amazed at how soft the bed was. It is so close to the beach and the Strand . We will book this place again! I can’t say enough good things about this place. Love love love it!

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.

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 ++

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!

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.

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.
5.0 / 5.0
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.

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!

This was our 2nd time staying at Brian's property and we thoroughly enjoyed it again! The downstairs unit is a well-equipped and designed studio with all the necessary amenities we need including nicely equipped kitchen, lovely bathroom with a top-notch dual-shower head & faucet combo, big lighted mirror, hair dryer, plenty of towels and toilet paper, lots of storage cubbies, washer/dryer combo, large closet with full-length mirror doors. The bed is a Murphy style that Brian already had pulled down and made up. We did not ever push it back up but could have if we needed more living room space during the day. WIFI and large smart TV worked great. The unit opens to a private outdoor living area with furniture - we used it on our first stay but not this time since we had a busy schedule out and about. We had a nice on-property parking spot for an economy size car. Access is via smart locks on the gate and doors so we never had to worry about managing keys although he does have a key option for the doors if wanted. Brian does an excellent job of instant, helpful, detailed communication. We will definitely be back again as it is our favorite place to stay when we are in LA. Thank you, Brian!

Everything about the property lived up to our expectations...and more. Being from the area originally, we knew the location was spectacular, but for anyone visiting for the first time, you cannot beat being so close to The Strand and also walking distance to restaurants/shops. As far as the property itself, one of the best amenities offered is a parking spot, as street parking can be very difficult. Inside, everything was immaculate. The bedding and towels were on the more luxurious side and very comfortable. The attention to detail as far as "extras" that a traveler might need was a very pleasant surprise. I am someone who cannot live without their hair straightening iron, so I had brought my own, but it was amazing to see that there was one in the bathroom available for a traveler who may have forgotten theirs. The host, Brian, had asked us ahead of time if there was anything he could provide to make our stay even better, and he had stocked the kitchen with snacks, drinks, and fresh half and half for our morning coffee!
The only thing that would have made our stay even better is if we could have spent more than four nights at this property. Thank you, Brian!

This unit is in such a nice spot of Manhattan Beach, an easy and comfortable walk to downtown and the beach. The space is so well organized, the kitchen is labeled nicely as well as all lighting. The space was perfect for me to relax after work, and is really clean. The bathroom and kitchen are so nice and the private yard is great. One of the best spaces I have stayed in and communication with the host is really good and they are super accommodating and helpful with quick replies as well! If you’re okay with a studio space, then don’t hesitate to book here. :)

Manhattan Beach is a special place and this amazing spot is just a walk up from the beach. It is just perfect! I loved the Bosch appliance, the beautiful cabinets, comfy queen bed and all the top notch amenities that Brian put into this wonderful studio. He spared no expense. It is walking distance to town where there is fun shopping and great restaurants and grocery store. Brian is an incredible host and made me feel so welcome. There is a great backyard with barbecue, lounge chairs & love seats to enjoy the beautiful weather but again it’s just a jot to the beach! I had such a fantastic stay that I booked the amazing upstairs unit for my stay in December. Can’t wait to spend more memories at this amazing and well cared for place by the sea! I loved it! I give it 5 stars hands down.
