10min. UBER/LYFT to property from LAX.

Here in Manhattan Beach, many historic homes and buildings are torn down without fanfare to make room for new constructions…but we couldn't bear to give that same death sentence to this charismatic 1930's Spanish-style villa!

Manhattan Beach is the perfect location for this personality-packed home, which is a less than 5-minute walk to the ocean and one of the Beach’s best surf spots (we're located on a walk street so accessing the beach couldn't be easier). And it’s also perfect for those who wish to escape to a laid back place by the sea that’s still just 5 minutes from LAX—and centrally located near downtown LA, Hollywood, Long Beach, Santa Monica, Venice, and Anaheim/Disneyland, too.

Manhattan Beach is the kind of place where locals come to walk their dogs on The Strand’s walking / biking path and escape the more tourist-heavy beaches. From this rental, all of Manhattan Beach’s perks are in close walking distance—like the ocean, shops and restaurants on Manhattan Beach Blvd & Pier to the south, and shops & bars to the north.

This home sleeps 4, with one California King bed in the bedroom, one bath, and one plush sofa bed. Other perks include washer/dryer, free WiFi, and one private parking spot—believe me, you’ll want one in this area!

The Home is just the right size for a couple, small family, or a traveling business professional.

My husband and I fell in love with the home’s history, and throughout our recent remodel, we took great care to maintain its colorful personality and heritage and enhanced its existing beauty with Spanish tile work, rich turquoise paint, and vintage artwork from Mexico.

Wake up and fry an egg in the sunny eat-in kitchen, using the vintage, professionally refurbished O'Keefe & Merritt cobalt blue stove. We LOVE this delightful stove, and so do our guests—in fact, we find it provides a more even heat than today’s sleek, modern models.

A turquoise back splash, custom-made self closing cabinets and dining area with exotic monkey pod wood bar top and vintage tractor seat stools give the whole kitchen the feel of a fun Mexican restaurant—a great space to spend a night in.

The bathroom includes a brand new, cast iron claw foot tub with shower. Sink into it with a glass of wine! The toilet and pedestal sink are brand new, too. But we maintained the Spanish influence with custom made tiles, a new light fixture from Mexico, and a vibrant paint color.

One of our guests called it a “mini Mexican mansion”— The home is decorated with beautiful authentic Mexican furniture, light fixtures and artwork for our guests to enjoy.

There are ocean breeze blowing in through the many gorgeous new double hung windows.
Dimmers on most of the lights throughout the home create a special glow and ambiance in the evening.

COME AND SEE US!

We’d love to have you at this charming beach close villa in Manhattan Beach. We know you’ll fall in love with it as we did.

You have California beach living at its best!

Perfect stay at perfect hacienda
Annette's beautifully appointed hacienda was the perfect spot for my daughter and I to do an 8 day college tour of So Cal. There is a full bedroom, comfortable sleeping sofa in the living room, kitchen, bathroom, beautiful side patio on a walk-only street with a view of the ocean, and importantly also a parking space and a washer/dryer in the garage. Annette thought of everything including beach towels and chairs, stocked the kitchen with some welcome food and drinks and was also so thoughtful in even bringing back from her trip to London some desserts for my daughter and me. The location is also perfect in walking distance of everything on Manhattan Beach, including the pier, and close to LA without the stress. I would definitely come back for a return trip.

Charming Beach Cottage
This charming Spanish style cottage was the perfect location for our first stay in Manhattan Beach. The cozy cottage has been lovingly restored and preserved with attention to every detail! We appreciated the warm welcome by the owners, Annette and Chris who were available for any questions or just to make sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay - which we did! The location is a very short walk down to The Strand walkway, beach and close to restaurants and coffee shops. Although the water view from the cottage and ocean breeze made us think twice about leaving. We look forward to another stay!

Spanish Style Cottage
Absolutely loved this property. It's a few blocks from the beach and pretty close to restaurants and shops in the area! I will say it was pretty warm in the house, but after we opened the windows, the temperature dropped. Annette was wonderful to work with, she made this whole process run smoothly! We can't wait to come back again! If you are debating on renting this cottage, just do it! You will not be disappointed.
