Thoughtfully designed across multiple levels, this 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath home offers generous gathering spaces, a dedicated office, private outdoor living, and glimpses of the Pacific. Whether you're visiting for a family vacation, an extended stay, or a work-from-anywhere escape, the home provides the space and flexibility to settle in and enjoy the best of South Bay living.



The Space:

Welcome to your Manhattan Beach retreat, a spacious multi-level home designed for guests who appreciate comfort, functionality, and an easy connection to the coast.



From the moment you arrive, the home feels bright and inviting. Large windows fill the interiors with natural light, while warm wood finishes and traditional architectural details create a timeless coastal atmosphere. The layout offers multiple places to gather, relax, work, and unwind, making it especially well-suited for families, friend groups, and longer stays.



The main living area serves as the heart of the home. Comfortable seating surrounds a fireplace and television, creating a welcoming space to reconnect after a day at the beach or exploring Manhattan Beach. Large sliding doors open toward the outdoor seating area, allowing the indoor and outdoor spaces to flow naturally together.



The kitchen is designed for real living. Rich wood cabinetry, expansive countertops, and island seating provide plenty of room for preparing meals, sharing takeout, or gathering over morning coffee. The adjacent dining area keeps everyone connected while still offering space to spread out.



Step outside to enjoy one of the home's most inviting features: a private outdoor seating area with open-sky views and glimpses of the ocean beyond. Whether you're starting the morning with coffee, catching the sunset, or enjoying a quiet evening conversation, the outdoor space adds another layer of relaxation to your stay.



For guests balancing work and leisure, a dedicated office provides a comfortable setup for remote work, video calls, or planning the day's adventures.

The Neighborhood:

Located in one of Manhattan Beach's most walkable and beloved neighborhoods, this home sits at the sweet spot between the surf and the village — close enough to the beach to hear it, close enough to downtown to walk it. This is quintessential South Bay living: golden mornings, salt air, and everything you need within a few blocks.

Start your day with a stroll to Bluestone Lane for expertly crafted coffee and a seasonal menu that earns its reputation. From there, it's a short walk west to The Strand for a sunrise run, a bike ride toward Hermosa, or simply a slow morning watching the waves roll in. Back in the neighborhood, Brewco Social and The Strand House anchor the local dining scene — relaxed enough for a casual lunch, elevated enough for a proper evening out. Metlox Plaza is just around the corner for boutique shopping, live music nights, and the kind of open-air energy Manhattan Beach does so well. When it's time to stock up, Gelson's is under a mile away; Erewhon is a short drive for the wellness-minded.

Active guests will feel right at home: beach volleyball courts at the Pier, world-class yoga with ocean views at Sol Seek, and e-bike rentals nearby for cruising The Strand all the way to Redondo. El Porto's surf break is less than two miles north for those who want to get in the water.

For guests visiting during FIFA World Cup 2026 or other major Los Angeles events, Manhattan Beach is the ideal base — convenient to the city, yet a world away from the noise. Come home to ocean air, quiet streets, and the easy South Bay rhythm that keeps people coming back year after year.



Getting Around:

Manhattan Beach is naturally walkable, and many guests enjoy exploring the area on foot or by bike. The beach, local cafés, and nearby restaurants are all within easy reach, making it simple to settle into the neighborhood.



For exploring beyond the immediate area, rideshare services are readily available and provide convenient access throughout the South Bay and greater Los Angeles.

During the FIFA World Cup 2026, rideshare is often the most seamless way to travel to and from SoFi Stadium, allowing you to enjoy match days without the added stress of parking.



Game Day Tip:

We recommend scheduling your rideshare in advance and allowing extra time before kickoff, as traffic and demand can increase around stadium events. Returning to Manhattan Beach after the match offers a more relaxed and private setting compared to staying near the stadium.
