Location: Manhattan Beach, Los Angeles County & Catalina Island, California, USA (Minutes from LAX, Universal City, Disneyland, Knott's, etc.) View Map
Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms + Loft + Office, 2.5+ Baths (Sleeps 6-8)
Furnished like a Five Star Hotel, this is not your typical beach rental! Located on one of the VERY BEST south-end Walk Streets...just steps away from the heart of town and the beach! After enjoying a day of "sun and fun" at the beach, step home to a cool refreshing drink while catching the panoramic ocean sunset on one of two beautifully furnished glass decks.
Have a delicious dinner at anyone of our 30 plus eateries not to mention some of the "hottest" spots for night life in LA according to LA TIMES...just a few blocks away!! (five star to casual) or throw something on the barbecue! If dining at home is your desire, you will find everything you need in the fully equipped ocean view kitchen. Daily catch and prime aged beef are just steps away at Manhattan Meats & Seafood...known as one of the best in the So.Bay!
If you really want to indulge, we can arrange for your own chef to prepare and serve your every culinary desire. In the mood to relax and be pampered? Enjoy a wonderful whirlpool tub for two in front of the fire, while listening to your remote controlled stereo.
We can arrange for an in-home therapeutic massage in front of a roaring fire, or up on the secluded upper deck under the stars!
You are just steps away from: the beach, unique shops, art galleries, live entertainment, local pubs, and world-class Volleyball, Tennis and Surf Tournaments

Map & Owner's Profile
Luxurious Ocean View Walk-Street Home...Steps to Town & Sand!
Year Purchased: 1986
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
