Our 3-generation family of six (6) thoroughly enjoyed this rental. This house is truly spectacular, even better in 'real life' than the pictures. The rooms and furnishings are beautiful, all very well equipped and extremely clean upon our arrival. The location is very quiet being on a dead-end street, but restaurants are an easy walk. And the Strand - oh the easy access to the Strand! There was absolutely nothing misrepresented by the description of this property.

Staying at Linda and Michael's was wonderful. Both of them make the experience so comfortable. The house was beautifully appointed - with every fine touch of a luxury hotel! Usually the photos are better than the real thing - but in this case the opposite is true. From the second I walked into the house - I felt totally relaxed with all the comforts of home at my fingertips. There is so much attention to detail in the home with every last thing provided...my parents didn't want to leave! My family and I are already talking about when we can book with Linda and Michael again - it's really a special place. Not to mention, every morning we took long walks on the beach and our toddler had the time of his life playing in the sand a few steps away. Thank guys for making such a beautiful home available.

This home is really awesome! We (party of 4) spent a week in Linda’s and Michael’s house and from the beginning on we felt at home. Unfortunately we were somehow unlucky with the weather and so we spent more time at home than probably usual and it’s therefore all the more important that you feel comfortable. The house is very clean and it has everything you can think of. It’s very well-equipped and lovingly furnished and decorated, too. The information given on VRBO and the pictures are very accurate. The location is also great - only few steps from the promenade and the beach. We slept with open windows and it was just amazing hearing the ocean’s waves! Linda and Michael were so nice and helpful in explaining and answering everything around the house. We could call them whenever we needed to but in fact it was not necessary. Linda even called us to see if everything’s okay. To summarize, this place is absolutely recommendable and we had a wonderful time. At this point we would like to take the opportunity to say once again THANK YOU to Linda and Mike. We would love to come back!

Amazing! This home has everything you could think of. It was set up in a way that made you feel like you were at the most posh hotel. Sumptious linens, fluffy bathrobes, luxurious bathrooms just to start it off. The view was wonderful. We used the bikes every day. You were close enough to all the shops and restaurants to enjoy them but far enough to enjoy the peace and tranquility of the ocean's waves. It was a slice of heaven from our busy everyday world. Thank you Mike and Linda!

If you are searching for a comfortable well appointed place to stay while in the Los Angeles area you have got consider this lovely Manhattan Beach home. Mike and Linda have done an excellent job of creating a welcoming rental home. They were extremely easy to work and made our first experience with VRBO a very pleasant one. It may be hard to believe but the house was even nicer in person than the photographs on the VRBO listing page show. Between its close proximity to the strand and the bicycles in the garage getting around Manhattan Beach is a breeze. If you prefer to explore a wider area, the location of the home provides easy access to both the 105 and 405 freeways. Our rental SUV fit easily into the homes garage providing secure off-street parking. If you are searcing for the perfect getaway in Manhattan Beach do yourself a favor and contact Mike and Linda!

This home was absolutely impeccable. Very convenient to the strand and the beach. My family and I had an unbeleivable time. If you want to relax and enjoy the peace and serenity of being on the beach this home offers this and much more. At night if you close the windows inside the home is perfectly silent so you can get a well deserved sleep. The home gaves us the same feel as being at the spa. I would highly recommend it.

This home more than exceeded our expectations. The information and pictures on the VRBO site are very accurate, but I have to say in person it was even nicer. The home was spotless and the decor was right out of a magazine. The owner's, Linda and Mike were helpful in answering all our questions when we booked our holiday and when we arrived. They also informed us we could reach them at any time if we needed to, but there was never a need. The home had everything you could possibly need, right down to the terry bathrobes in each bedroom, and if you didn't know where an item was located there was even a binder listing all the items in the house and where to find them. The proximity to the Strand and beach was great, just two houses and you were there. We loved that there were beach chairs, towels and even bikes for our use (there are also boogie boards and a surf board). As my husband, two adult daughters and son-in-law were staying in this three bedroom, three and a half bath home, it gave everyone the space they wanted. The top floor open concept living room, dining room and kitchen area is very roomy and the large couch was a great spot for all of us to watch a little T.V. and still look out at the ocean and watch the beautiful sunsets. The area has so many great restaurants that we started to run out of days to go to eat at them all, and we also wanted to kick back and make a few bbq's on the deck. Just one block away, was a great fish restaurant that just opened a couple of months ago called, The Fish Bar, that we discovered at the end of our holiday and would have loved to go back but ran out of days. The reviews we found online were very good. The prices were very reasonable and the food was great. It was a little noisy but that made it even more fun . Another must is Uncle Bill's Pancake House, but if you want to avoid the long wait for a table, drive by and put your name on the list, park your car back at the house and then walk back along the Strand. We did this and when we got back we were able to be seated right away. Also, it is a good way to work off a few calories from the huge portions. The ice cream shop in Manhattan is a must if you have a sweet tooth,they have amazing home made ice cream sandwiches. As you can tell I don't have anything negative to say and in fact I have already recommended this home to our friends. Thanks Linda and Mike for making our vacation top notch.

This home will exceed your expectations - Excellent location, one block to the water, one block to the main drag - Owners have really done a great job equipping this home with a very nice assortment of beach toys (Bikes, Beach Chairs, Boogie / Surf Boards, etc). Most beach rentals have a real "run-down" sense about them - Not this house - Highly Recommended.

It's taken me a while to get to this review. I've been busy with weddings and work that I completely forgot to review this lovely property. Linda and her husband were so nice and very accommodating! The property is just as it is described and all the amenities were fabulous. The beds were super comfortable and their house was immaculately kept. We made sure we took care of the house and cleaned up and left it as when we arrived. The only thing was the parking. We were told we could park in front of the neighbors driveway, but then when we did so we were asked to move our car. With these beach cities, you really have to pay attention to the parking laws. Other than that, our stay was quite memorable and my favorite thing about the short trip were the bikes! Thanks and hope we can stay here again in the future.

A beautiful home with every possible need catered for! Warm, comfortable - we felt at home immediately. Just a few steps from the beach, and fabulous promenade walk and wonderful views from the living areas and outside deck. Restaurants and shops within a few minutes walk and very handy for Manhattan Beach shops. Owners could not have been more willing or helpful - I will definitely recommend it! We'll be back!
