Downtown vacation rentals

We had a wonderful time at your place in Manhattan Beach celebrating my son's graduation from LMU. The place was clean, perfectly located by the pier, shops, restaurants and had everything we needed. Thank you.

The Glass House in Manhattan Beach goes down as one of our all-time favorite family vacation experiences. Property owners, JR and his wife Susan, are the most hospitable and friendly hosts you could ever encounter — beyond accommodating and a joy to work with … I could go on and on. Their property, which fronts the Pacific Ocean and an immaculate beach, is nothing short of stunning. Needless to say, it was comfortable, and provided the perfect perch for relaxing and unbeatable sunsets. The photos that you see here on Vrbo are 100% accurate, and even then they don’t quite do justice to the experience in person. I almost don’t want to disclose what a magical place Manhattan Beach is. I can’t help but feel I will see the locals/nearby residents in my memories years from now. The great thing is, I won’t have to conjure those acquaintances, as I expect to be back again very soon. I suppose I should also mention how conveniently located the Glass House is to all things Manhattan Beach and so many other Los Angeles area venues. We were always within walking distance of shops, restaurants, pubs and markets. If this sounds at all appealing or alluring to you, check it out. JR will do a much better job than I at selling you on the merits of this incomparable gem. Here’s hoping we get to return for many more unforgettable moments.

DRONE USERS! this property is tucked into the only place that you can fly your drone without special permission from the FAA from Santa Monica to Redondo. The home is beautiful and the view from the porch to the beach was amazing. Even the private patio offered the sounds of the ocean at night. 2 Living, 2 bed, 2 bath. Open kitchen to the living room creating a nice open space. Opening the sliding doors grants a cool passthrough breeze of fresh ocean air sufficient to cool the house on its own. The bed was comfortable and I had no issues with my back after a night sleep, which is rare when traveling for this 400lb man. The location cannot be beat. 5 minutes walk to the beach, 20 minute walk to Hermosa beach shopping and food. Great local restaurants. Access instructions were clear and easy. They offer a lot of beach toys for use (chairs, boards, etc.,) all appliances work, absolutely nothing on the property that I needed assistance with. Even so, the host was very communicative and checked in to make sure our stay was perfect. If you want a quiet but active stay with lots to do, but in a laid back area, I highly recommend this house.

Even nicer than the photos. Views, furniture, carpet, bedding etc. Could be the most comfortable bed ever. We will be back! Thank you Mary for everything and also for your great communication!

Everything was great!! My only complaint was that I could hear the neighbor downstairs who was up making noise around 2am two of the three nights I was there.

I honestly couldn't have had a better time...this location is absolutely perfect, the neighborhood is so cute and I enjoyed walked around everywhere (even though I had a car.) The beach is the cleanest in all of LA area. The rental was great - it honestly had everything you need - the kitchen is so cute, and the bed is insanely comfortable. I felt very very safe staying there, and that area in general, which was important to me. John was amazing .. very helpful, pleasant, and very quick to return any texts. I was worried about parking and he was extremely helpful with that. Once I learned the neighborhood after a few days, I was totally fine with parking, haha. The location was perfect for me because I was in and out of LA, Long Beach, and Malibu - while also just enjoying my stay in Manhattan Beach. It only really took me 25-45 minutes to get to those places, even with some traffic! I will definitely be staying here again on future trips. Its the perfect spot to be in if youre visiting LA area, but want to still feel like you are on actual vacation, and not too far out location wise. Thanks again for everything John!
