Summary:
Stay a night (or more!) in our gorgeous 2-bedroom beach apartment just steps to the gorgeous Manhattan Beach shores. With a private balcony for enjoying a morning cup of coffee, or an evening drink, and a thoughtfully designed spacious interior, our home is the perfect perch for you to pause and enjoy all Manhattan Beach has to offer.

The Space:
Our favorite area of this apartment has to be the indoor sitting area by the porch. It's best enjoyed curled up on a chair with the sliding doors open to allow a breeze. It creates this luxurious effect of indoor/outdoor living that spreads to the whole space because of the open floor plan. It also really embraces the uniqueness of the architecture of the home. The stone fireplace that extends to the wood beam ceiling creates an irresistible rustic charm. We embraced the originality of the home throughout our design by contrasting more home-y cozy pieces with a mix of modern design pieces.

Besides the apartment itself; you'll have access to one parking spot & your private porch.

The apartment is walking distance to the beach which features clean sand and gorgeous sparkling water. You will also be walking distance to a plethora of amazing places to eat drink and be merry! Skip on over to our famous restaurants, shops, art galleries and endless entertainment options; rent e-bikes or surfboards, and learn about marine life at the local aquarium, picnic at the local park and enjoy more places to visit detailed in our welcome book upon arrival! Tour the town or just take the time to lay out on the beach and relax, either way Manhattan Beach will not disappoint.
