  We came from Jersey in the the UK's Channel Islands and stayed for 2 weeks at 3700 The Strand and had an amazing time. Brendhan was the perfect host, was there to greet us on arrival and even drove us to LAX when we had issues with our hire car collection. 3700 The Strand is a fantastic location with great cafe's and restaurants nearby, the beach on your doorstep, and picture perfect sunsets every night. Santa Monica, Newport, Laguna, Malibu are all easily accessible from Manhattan Beach, so a great base for exploring Southern California. Thanks for your hospitality Brendhan, we will certainly be back, next time with family and friends!

  As an RN and working mom spent a long overdue 2 weeks of rest and relaxation in this wonderful studio. The location was ideal with wonderful views. Rode my bike everywhere as there was a great bike path along the beach. Was able to people watch and spend everyday in the ocean. The owner Bren was so eager to make my stay perfect and comfortable. He was kick back yet extremely conscientious. Lorie the housekeeper was wonderful and helpful, all of which contributed to the best 2 weeks. Will most certainly return.

  My husband and I rented this breach front condo for our honeymoon. We absolutely loved it! They provide you with bikes towels, and other gear for the beach. We were able to bike to a nearby grocery store and restaurants. The location is perfect! The view from the condo it's self is breath taking! You can feel the breeze from the ocean whe you open the sliding doors in the condo. lastly the owner and housekeeping were wonderful! The next time we visit California this is where we will stay.

  We stayed in the studio last year, and returned this year for a summer vacation for a week! We were pleasantly surprised by some changes that had been made to the studio, i.e. new paint colors, dining table, and drapes. It was spotless, and literally has everything you need for a comfortable vacation. The bed is super comfy too! The location is hard to beat and Brendhan is always so friendly and a pleasure. We accidentally lost one of the keys to the unit during a beach visit, and he was so understanding and just wanted us to enjoy the rest of our vacation and made no fuss about it, he insisted we didn’t worry about replacing it. We will return here year after year :)

  The Swanky Oceanfront Studio was everything I expected and more! Tastefully decorated, very clean, everything I needed for my long weekend getaway. Loved that it was walking distance to the Pier, restaurants, spa's, shopping. Would highly recommend this fabulous studio! I can't wait to go back!!

  Everything was perfect! The location, the view, and the studio.No details were left out. If you wanted to spend the day on the sand soaking up the sun, with a good book in your hand; the beach was just a few steps away. Taking a jog, walk, or bike ride The strand and bike path are right outside your door. Meeting friends for a nice dinner was easy, since the studio was located near so many wonderful places to eat. But truly, just being able to open the sliding door to that beautiful view every single day, was enough for me to want to relive the experience again very soon!!!!

  I took my daughter to LA for her high school senior trip and decided to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the big city. We stayed here at Manhatten Beach and counldn't have been more pleased. The studio was just as described and Brendon was awesome. He was available to answer any questions and even stopped by to make sure we were having a great time. The beach was beautiful and we felt so safe. (We had heard some horror stories of how unsafe LA could be, but not so here.) We loved riding the bikes along the beach and the surfers provided live entertainment every day. We can honestly say that this was one of our best vacations ever. (The only thing I feel someone should watch out for is parking tickets. Be sure to read every sign carefully and pay close attention and know the rules for the area. I received a $64 ticket for stopping at an estate sale to only find out I wasn't allowed to park in that neighborhood. I am disputing it but will not know anything for a couple of weeks. I hear LA is trying to generate revenue by giving out tickets. However, this is not anything against the studio I stayed in. I would stay there again in a heart beat. I would recommend this rental to my friends and family without any hesitation. A perfect vacation for my daugther's senior trip!!!!! Thanks again Brendon for everything. Pam

  Just returned from holiday in LA spending 10 days in Brendhan's studio on The Strand. We read the reviews before booking and have to say the studio met all our expectations and more... This was our first visit to the west Coast, USA and we loved it. On arrival at the studio the views took our breath away, two words - simply stunning!! The Studio made our stay very special, it was welcoming, comfortable and quiet apart from the relaxing sound of the waves. It was also very well equipped, clean and well situated with the most amazing sunsets. It was easy to unwind and chill in the studio and there were sufficient cooking facilities to make a meal including a barbecue. There is also many restaurants, bars and shops nearby if required. We had lovely sunny weather and did the usual tourist things visiting many attractions nearby but our favourite past-time was relaxing in the studio taking in the views of Manhattan Beach particularly the surfers and dolphins in the ocean. The owner, Brendhan has thought of everything to make your stay comfortable, fun and stress-free. We appreciated the laundry facilities and the beach equipment provided. We particularly enjoyed using the bikes spending many hours beach cruising along The Strand stopping off along the way at various interesting places enjoying a stroll, good food and cool drinks. Brendhan and Rosario were very helpful and were there if we needed any advice or tips about anything which was very reassuring. We had such a brilliant time we are hoping to stay again in this wonderful studio later this year. Many thanks Maureen and Yvonne from UK

  Great experience - to be recommended! The previous reviews of this house say and it all speaks for itself. we at this point can only emphasize that all positive data were real. We spent 2 weeks in the studio apartment and have enjoyed every second. The outlook is fantastic - LOCATION IS EVERYTHING - you can hear the ocean and does not need a TV / Radio more :). We also hear any noise or otherwise. Simply brilliant! The house is very well equipped. Gas grill, Bicycles, beach bikes, beach chairs, washing machine, Dryer etc. We missed nothing and be hopefully back soon. The landlord is very nice and helpful. is also his housekeeper Rosario truly a treasure and very thorough. Quite a great vacation. Thank you!

  I live in Manhattan Beach and put my parents up in the studio when they came to visit. I know the neighborhood well and the value of the properties start at 5 million on the Strand. So this was such a great value for my parents to be able to experience the "Strand Life" at the cost of a chain motel room's price. Brendhan was friendly, efficient and very welcoming to my folks. The place was clean, well equipped, stylish and obviously the view is incredible! This is my new "oceanfront guest room" for all my out of town visitors!
