Great location & hosts

This property is beautiful and the location was perfect. We enjoyed sunsets on the balcony and had plenty of space to host family dinners and visitors. The two issues we encountered (pet smells and water heater) were addressed quickly by the property owners who were rapidly responsive. Everything else was perfect! Lots of extra linens and all the amenities we needed. Thank you!

Family wedding in Manhattan Beach

Hosts Greg and Gina could not have been easier to work with. We booked their two side-by-side large Manhattan Beach properties and filled them with family in town for a wedding. They provided delightful welcome gifts, checked in with about our needs and provided helpful recommendations. The properties are light-filled and comfortable and you can’t beat the location—just blocks to the beach and to the great shops and restaurants of Manhattan Beach. We highly recommend booking these properties!

It was perfect for us!

I have stayed in many VRBO’s and never have I had the pleasure of working with better communicators than Gina and her assistant. She could NOT have been more helpful or accommodating. The house was exactly as promised, beautifully decorated with everything we needed. There was one quirk we weren’t anticipating — the 3rd bathroom is on the top floor, not on the bedroom floor, but everything worked seamlessly and if we had any trouble figuring it out, the help was a text away! We will definitely be back to this lovely property and look forward to meeting its fantastic owners in person some day!

Great location. Lots of space. Leg workout.

Our stay at this vacation rental was a truly enjoyable experience! The property managers (Gina and Greg) were incredibly responsive, ensuring excellent and prompt communication throughout our trip. They even have an assistant available to help with any questions, which made everything seamless. Before arrival, we received a comprehensive welcome PDF packed with essential details—WiFi information, add'l parking options, departure checklists, and recommendations for things to do in MB. It was a great resource that helped us feel well-prepared.A great perk of this rental is that the property managers live on the first floor, making them easily accessible. You can also request early check-in or late check-out, subject to availability. The home was well-stocked with fresh towels and bed linens, and the wood floors with rugs added a cozy feel.The highlight? Stunning beach views and sunsets! With the shore just a short walk away, the cool ocean breeze made the stay truly relaxing.One thing to note about the layout—if stairs are a challenge, be prepared. The entryway leads to a small lobby with access to the garage. From there, the second floor houses four bedrooms and a bathroom. The third and top floor features the kitchen, dining area, living room, and another full bath. Carrying groceries and coolers up three flights of stairs definitely doubled as a workout, but it was well worth it!Overall, this rental made for a wonderful and refreshing getaway. Highly recommended!

Wonderful Stay in Manhattan Beach

Five mothers of students at a nearby college came for a mother/son trip. We had a wonderful time and Gina and Greg were so friendly and helpful. The house is in a great location - walking distance to Manhattan Beach restaurants, strand etc. The outside fire pit on the walk street is a wonderful place to hang out. Thanks for a great trip!

Stunning View- Gorgeous Beach Home

Such an incredible home that had everything you could imagine! Gina and Dan are amazing hosts and have thought of everything. The home has stunning ocean views and many patio / balconies that made you feel outside when inside. The home was equipped with everything and the beds were beyond comfortable with premium bedding. It’s just a short walk down to the ocean and located perfectly atop 26th Ave on a quiet street on the corner. We celebrated the new year with our 6 adult children and can’t wait to come back. Gina also took time out of her day to call us and extended a late checkout without even asking. Just great hospitality and service!!!

Exceptional property for small group stay

This was an absolutely ideal property for our small business planning retreat. The 3rd floor open floor plan, multiple outdoor spaces, 2nd floor private bedrooms, and two-car driveway made for a convenient, comfortable stay. Linens, towels, and kitchen amenities were top-notch. The neighborhood is absolutely beautiful — the beach is a few blocks away, and it’s only a brief drive to the downtown area. Communication with property owners was also exceptional. The only minor complaint was the daytime noise from neighborhood maintenance (e.g. lawn teams, garbage trucks) and home reconstruction, but it didn’t interfere whatsoever with our overall stellar experience. I’ve never been a big fan of southern California, but now I can’t wait to return to Manhattan Beach thanks to our stay at this property!

View!!! and plenty of space for family to spread out

We were in Manhattan Beach for a holiday family reunion. This house was perfect! With all the bedrooms on the middle level the upper level with an amazing view of the ocean was enjoyed by all. There was plenty of room to spread out so some of us could play a game or puzzle while others had quiet reading time, etc. SUNSETS - holy cow! Just gorgeous. The outdoor area is killer! and we enjoyed having bikes to roam the strand. Gina and Greg were both incredibly responsive to any questions we had. The 3 levels of stairs were tough on our older family members.. something to note, but not anything that detracted from the amazing experience. Thank you!

Lovely home

This house is just as lovely as pictured. The owners and manager were extremely responsive and booking the house for a weekend getaway was a breeze. After a less than stellar experience with another vacation homeowner who actually cancelled on us less than two weeks before we were set to arrive, this was greatly appreciated. Roxy warmly greeted us at check-in and showed us around the house. We were immediately thrilled and knew that we were going to have a fantastic weekend. The afternoons spent on the balcony with the ocean view and the sound of waves in the distance was simply amazing. The light and airy great room and kitchen area was definitely the heart of the home as we cooked and caught up with our old friends. We also took advantage of the grill and made a fabulous meal that we enjoyed outside. The fire pit was also such a unique way to unwind and enjoy the evening as the weather cooled. We all simply can’t wait to return again in the future!

Awesome home, great location, amazing hosts

We were in town for a family reunion of sorts - we came from the East Coast for a long weekend to celebrate a birthday milestone (90 years!). We have family living in Manhattan Beach so we wanted a place near the beach that could fit 6 adults easily. This home was pretty much perfect for us, beautifully appointed home with great views and easy access to the Strand. Convenient location to walk to downtown MB (15 minutes). The hosts Gina and Greg are very available, we met both of them and were very friendly and helpful. The photos represented on VRBO were accurate, it's as beautiful as it looks. Gina and Greg have thought of the little things like the coffeemaker with pods, plenty of towels, trash bags, and other amenities. The top floor with its beautiful kitchen and open space is a great place to hang out. The balconies and patio furniture on the street offer great spots to hang out and watch the sunset, just fantastic. Although we didn’t have the opportunity to use them, having nice beach chairs and other beach items available is great. Highly recommend this home, you can tell Gina and Greg take good care of it, and want guests to enjoy themselves. Thanks again!

Gorgeous beach house in a great neighborhood

I and my two daughters and their young families spent 4 days here, we were in town for a family wedding. We had a wonderful time, the house was really lovely with great views of the ocean from living room and decks. It was generously stocked with everything you could want, the hosts Gina and Greg , have thought of everything, from beach towels and chairs, frisbee and volleyball, grill, a well stocked kitchen, laundry facilities in garage, easy parking for two cars, and a pretty easy walk directly down the street to beach. The house is in a super nice quiet neighborhood but very close by are the beach, shops and restaurants. Since we had small children with us we found a very cool sand dune park .3 mile walk from the house. Surrounded by beautiful gardens. We also enjoyed the little free aquarium at the end of Manhattan Beach Pier, about 1 mile walk down the Strand which is a fun beautiful walk in itself. The hosts were so responsive to all our questions, and so hospitable. The beds were very comfortable, and supplied with really nice linens. My 6’ 8” son in law so appreciated having a comfortable king bed to stretch out in. It’s just a lovely place, with great owners. You will enjoy it. It’s definitely a 5-star experience!!

Great location, very nice house

Finally a proper home away from home. Very nice and well kept house, with all you need, all you need for cooking, well maintained and clean. It is/was a lived in house so you can find all you need, not a typical rental with the basic or less than the basic. The owner is next door for anything you need and they are really really nice.
