My sister-in-law and I enjoyed a few nights at this small beauty in May. The unit is very cute and colorful with great decor and a fabulous little patio. It is well-furnished and well-stocked. It might be ideal for a couple, but the apartment worked for two singles well also since there's a sofabed in the living area. The location is great - just a few minutes and an easy walk to the Strand. We walked to great restaurants in Manhattan Beach every day and rented bikes just a few blocks away one day. Parking was fairly easy and Annette made it even easier. She was a joy to work with as she is responsive, proactive, and HELPFUL! I'd stay here again and would recommend it!

I loved this place! Annette was very helpful and attentive. I enjoyed the outdoor spaces as well as the close proximity to beach and many great restaurant options within walking distance.

Annette's beautifully appointed hacienda was the perfect spot for my daughter and I to do an 8 day college tour of So Cal. There is a full bedroom, comfortable sleeping sofa in the living room, kitchen, bathroom, beautiful side patio on a walk-only street with a view of the ocean, and importantly also a parking space and a washer/dryer in the garage. Annette thought of everything including beach towels and chairs, stocked the kitchen with some welcome food and drinks and was also so thoughtful in even bringing back from her trip to London some desserts for my daughter and me. The location is also perfect in walking distance of everything on Manhattan Beach, including the pier, and close to LA without the stress. I would definitely come back for a return trip.

This charming Spanish style cottage was the perfect location for our first stay in Manhattan Beach. The cozy cottage has been lovingly restored and preserved with attention to every detail! We appreciated the warm welcome by the owners, Annette and Chris who were available for any questions or just to make sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay - which we did! The location is a very short walk down to The Strand walkway, beach and close to restaurants and coffee shops. Although the water view from the cottage and ocean breeze made us think twice about leaving. We look forward to another stay!

Perfect location to access the beach as well as great restaurants and bars in both MB and El Porto. Annette was super accommodating and I would 100% stay again.

Absolutely loved this property. It's a few blocks from the beach and pretty close to restaurants and shops in the area! I will say it was pretty warm in the house, but after we opened the windows, the temperature dropped. Annette was wonderful to work with, she made this whole process run smoothly! We can't wait to come back again! If you are debating on renting this cottage, just do it! You will not be disappointed.

We had a wonderful stay at Annette's Spanish Cottage. It was the perfect location and walking distance to everything from the beach to downtown. Annette was very welcoming and thoughtful. A lot of love went into preserving the history of the home and the indoor and outdoor space is beautiful with mosaic tile. The home was the perfect spot for our stay while visiting my brother in beautiful Manhattan Beach. We will return again.

Annette was very communicative and the place is a quaint, pretty one of a kind.

Fantastic stay, everything was perfect

Place was perfectly located, it had all the characteristics I was looking for, close to the beach and the tows. It was cozy and the property manager was wonderful, they made us feel right at home.

Had the very best time. Didn't even need to rent a car! So walkable, so beautiful! Such great hosts, highly reccommend!

Our property and host, Annette, was on point. Perfect location in Manhattan Beach! Home was charmingly decorated and perfectly appointed. Super host!

Annette and Chris were amazing hosts!So thoughtful and kind. The property is in a great location, within walking distance to everything we wanted or needed. I'd highly recommend staying here!

Property is well situated - plenty of options for walkable restaurants and other activities. Short walk - perhaps 325 steps - to the strand and beach. Well maintained and the owner checked in with us continuously to make sure everything was in order and we were enjoying our stay. High recommendation. Thank you Anette and Chris.

This precious place was perfect for my 2 teen daughters & myself as they played in a beach volleyball tournament. The decor is fun & the location cannot be beat. You can see the ocean from the new patio still under construction, and the designated parking spot is very helpful. Coffee shops & restaurants within walking distance too. The owners are super responsive and attentive, and if you need anything they are quick to oblige.

This is a very cute and clean place to stay just a short walk to the beach. Annette is very responsive and goes above and beyond to make your stay comfortable. There are many nice places to eat close by.

I had a perfect stay here. The apartment is tastefully furnished and had everything you could want. Located just two blocks from the beech and within walking distance of several nice restaurants and a small but well-stocked grocery store. Annette was the perfect host, checking in several times to see if I had everything I needed (I did) and even responded promptly to my text when I couldn’t figure out how to work the tv, patiently walking me through the steps to reboot it. Highly recommended for a couple or solo traveler.

I enjoyed my stay 😊😊

We were just steps to the beach in this great villa including easy access to the business and restaurant district

Great place, very nice owner and easy to work with. Annette was very thoughtful and left beach chairs and an umbrella for us. Unit is nicely decorated just like the pictures show. The tough part was the lack of A/C, the unit is on a busier street and windows had to be left open and it was still hot + the noise. If just the bedroom had a wall A/C unit it would be a 5 star hands down. If you are going at a cooler time of year great place. We stayed mid-August and it was hot, real hot, and the inside did not cool down much after the sun goes down even with windows open.

WE ENJOYED THE CONVENIENT WALKING LOCATION TO THE BEACH, RESTAURANTS AND OUR FRIENDS LIVING IN MANHATTAN BEACH. ANNETTE MADE OUR STAY SPECIAL, ALWAYS CHECK TO SEE THAT EVERYTHING WAS FINE. THE DECOR WAS VIBRANT , EVERYTHING HANDY AND IMMACULATE . WONDERFUL PLACE TO EXPERIENCE CALIFORNIA SEASIDE AND LA IF YOU WISHED. CONVENIENT TO LAX AIRPORT.

We really enjoyed our stay. Annette was very nice! The villa was very clean, which was important to us. All of the furnishings were in great shape and everything worked well. The shower was great. We were there to watch our daughter play volleyball and so the location was very convenient to the different beaches and piers. The pull out couch was especially comfortable, which was a wonderful surprise. Although we didn't really use the kitchen, it was fully equipped. We would definitely choose to stay there again in the future!

Small but charming! Great location - 3 blocks from the beach

We had an amazing stay at Annette’s villa. Perfect for a couple or small family. The beach was a delightful barefoot walk away. The accommodation was unique and very comfortable. Highly recomendable. I will definitely be coming back for more Manhattan relaxation.

We had a wonderful time here and loved how conveniently located it was to everything! Close and within walking distance to the beach and restaurants. We were able to spend our visit in both the upstairs and downstairs units and felt comfortable in both. Annette was extremely accommodating and a great host. It made the trip all that much better!

We had a nice stay at this charming villa. It was a nice walk to the beach from here. It is definitely small and probably best for two people. We would have liked some sort of outside space to hang out at. The owner was very kind and accommodating with our flight schedule.

This is an absolutely wonderful location, a barefoot pad two blocks of sidewalk straight down to the beach between the MB luxury homes. Annette and Chris are sweet and responsive and the house is adorable. My 25-year-old daughter and I were very comfortable and happy here! The pizza and the breakfast places three blocks down are all good, too...we'll be back!

Lucky for me I got to stay in both units and while different they are both very well decorated and comfortable including the beds (a major plus). The owners, Annette and Chris, were excellent hosts and not imposing but always available and very helpful. I highly recommend this property and look forward to another stay on my next trip West.

This was our second time staying in the upper apartment. Located a short walk to the beach and had all the amenities needed for an extended stay in Manhattan Beach. The apartment is beautiful, clean, and welcoming. Our favorite part of the home was the outdoor patio. We traveled with our almost three year old son and the apartment was very spacious for the three of us. Beach chairs and toys were available for use. Annette was available to answer any questions before and during our stay. We hope to visit again next year!

Annette's Spanish getaway is a must stay for any beach lover. The home is in the heart of Manhattan's night life and is right in front of the walkway that takes you down to the beach (about 3 streets down of walking distance). The home has so much detail and personality. Annette is also a warm and welcoming host who genuinely cares about her guests' stay. I stayed here for my birthday getaway and was comfortably able to fit a few of my friends and myself. Will definitely be back!

Annette was very helpful, courteous, and just simply put, a lovely host. We used this amazing spanish style home for a photo shoot. Unfortunately for us it rained that day, so we could not utilize how close this was to the beach. So we had to do all indoor shots, but the decor was unique with the pop color walls. And Annette travels around the world collecting one of a kind pieces to decorate this amazing space. Overall, a great shoot despite the rain. Thanks Annette!

I can't say enough about this beautiful authentic Spanish styled home in Manhattan Beach. The home was fully equipped with every possible thing you could need. Fluffy towels, comfortable linens, easy wifi and a fully stocked kitchen. Wonderful areas to relax, indoor and outdoor, a beautiful view and a warming fireplace. Walking distance to everything, the beach and wonderful restaurants and grocery options. Annette was an amazing and responsive host and clearly wants you to enjoy her stylish and comfortable home. She has left no detail unattended to and the pride she has for her home shows in every way. Thank you a wonderful stay, we will certainly join you again when we return.
