Why the Owner Chose Manhattan Beach
Manhattan Beach is a very unique beach town that combines the best of "Uptown Chic" with "Small Town Values"...and is just minutes from LAX! You couldn't be more centrally located to the 405 freeway, the Pacific Coast Highway, and all of the major attractions that Los Angeles has to offer! Having grown up in a suburb of LA, as wonderful as it was...you had to have a car to exist. When I moved to the beach, I wanted a location that not only provided excellent views of the ocean...but would be within steps to the beach and town. Being on this highly sought after south side walk- street location, it combines the best of all worlds. There is no need for a car to fully enjoy this beach or the town with over 40 restaurants and shops...all within walking distance.
The Unique Benefits at this House
You will find this home loaded with every "goodie" imaginable. Being a gadget geek myself...there is everything imaginable in the kitchen, not to mention Stereo surround throughout the house with a loaded IPOD, CD and DVD library, Premium Cable,WII with Fit & games, and TV's with DVD or VCR's in every room! Not only is there wifi, secure fios connection, printer, copier...but I also provide a laptop as well! For the low tech - you will find numerous board games, books, and current subscriptions to over 10 magazines! If I don't have it...just let me know, and chances are I'll get it for you!
Owner's Map of Manhattan Beach
Hello, and Welcome! My name is Terry, and I am a 4th Generation Californian. After a Complete Remodel 5 years ago, and a decision to leave the hectic world of Advertising behind...I decided to take a leap and rent my property for "vacation" purposes. This is a full time job for me, and one that I take great pride in being the best I can be. I love making my guests feel at home, and strive to make sure that they are as happy as they can possibly be.
I hope to see you soon!
Terry

All the comments I read on this page were true! We came from Germany and stayed for four weeks. Terry was as great a hostess as I thought she would be when I read this homepage, the house has all possible amenities and a great view, the refridgerator was stocked when we came in at night and whenever we lacked anything, Terry got it immediately. The house is well worth the rent as you get many more things along with it that are actually priceless. Do it like me, talk to fomer renters if you think this is too good to be true!

I rented this house to celebrate my uncle's birthday with my sisters and our spouses, and chose this location (Manhattan Beach), as it is the nearest beach town to his home. Needless to say, the house and the location far exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed sitting on decks either having morning breakfast and coffee or in the late afternoons on the lower deck for wine and cheese. You have a clear view of the ocean and beach, and can hear the thundering waves approaching the beach. Most important was the kitchen with all the amenities for creating great meals. My brother-in-law enjoys cooking, and we had some very scrumptious breakfasts, especially after visiting the local farmer's market and getting fresh fruits and vegetables. We will surely return to this beautiful and spacious home!!!
Owner response:Thank you Elsa, you and your family were a delight....you Texans will always have a home away from home here! Terry and Johnnie

Beautiful gorgeous "vista" ocean views in kitchen and living areas; two decks that offer incomparable unobstructed ocean views. The house was beautifully furnished with cozy and luxurious touches that really make feel like home. My sister (a professional in the Hotel/Hospitality/PR industry) repeatedly commented on the beautiful details of the house decor, from the wonderful decorative accents throughout, to the thoughtful overall touches which evoked a great sense of "home away from home." It was also well-stocked with all the comforts of home, including a well-stocked kitchen and pantry. A huge bonus was the proximity to the beach (2 minutes to the sand) and to the charming shops and dining of downtown Manhattan Beach (5-10 leisurely minutes). Highly recommended! PS. Terry had a previously-scheduled engagement and was out of town during our stay, but she made sure we were taken care of and knew who to contact in her absence. She also kept in touch via email to make sure everything was going well.

Terry thanks so much for some much needed R & R, and an unforgettable weekend which made it possible for us to reconnect.Looking forward to our next visit. Blessings from Estrada Family

Review Submitted: 07/04/11
My family of 6 stayed here June 2011. We had been to Las Vegas and then San Francisco and then wanted somewhere near LA for a week to relax. Manhattan Beach was the perfect choice. The house itself is as described - clean, well maintained, lots of TVs, wireless broadband, etc. Terry (owner) is very helpful, whether it is local information or something about the house. The location is ideal. Coming from the UK I didn’t know anywhere near LA and wanted somewhere safe, near a beach, near LA, not too far from the airport, near to shops/restaurants. Manhattan Beach is just such a place and from the house it is 1 min walk to the beach (which you can see from the house) and 5 min walk to the shops/restaurants. We alternated between lazy days at the beach and outings to LA and Santa Monica. Everyone had a great time - those that wanted to sunbathe, those that wanted to be on the internet, those that wanted to relax and enjoy the view, those that wanted to shop in LA.

The perfect spot

My husband and I rented Terry's beautiful place for several weeks and it did not disappoint. The beautiful panoramic views from so many vantage points made it a joy to be indoors, but the proximity to the beach beckoned us outside to enjoy the best of southern California. We entertained visiting family and friends at sunset from the incredible outdoor decks, and at day's end retreated to a spacious and well-appointed master suite. Every day we walked to town to one of the many great restaurants in the area or to the local groceries (2 were very close by) or weekly farmer's market. With a car, you can go further afield, as we did to a great gym in Redondo Beach or to the attractions of Santa Monica and downtown LA. In short, this superbly located home was as advertised and we hope to return often.

Leaving this wonderful place in the great town of Manhattan Beach with perfect weather was hard on all of us! Terry is a loving and caring hostess, sweet, thoughtful and fun to know. Her decorative touches thruout the house, especially the fresh flowers in every room are truly delightful! The kitchen is wonderful, everything we could think of was there and at the ready, so many great meals were whipped up during our stay. Also, the local restaurants were quite good and Terry is ready and prepared to help you with choices for the best eateries - all within walking distance. Don't miss the Tues. Farmer's Market! And the beach....truly one of the nicest beaches EVER, clean, white sand and lots of animal activity to watch. We are surely planning on coming back and doing it all over again, simply perfect!

Our grown family of six had a wonderful experience staying here and we all left with a collection of very nice memories of our Christmas week holiday in Manhattan Beach. The house is perfect; beautifully decorated and welcoming. There is sufficient space for everyone to have some privacy when desired. Plus, the fabulous weather exceeded our expectations. Looking forward to an encore.

My wife, daughter, and I just spent a wonderful week in Manhattan Beach at this spectacular place. It is super convenient to everything you will want to do - great restaurants, bars, beaches, and bike paths are all outside your door - your hosts will be kind, helpful, and most accommodating - we highly recommend this spot for a short or long term stay! We'll be back for sure!
