THE SPACE:

Experience the ultimate coastal getaway in this thoughtfully designed oceanfront duplex, where elevated comfort meets breathtaking Pacific views.

On the top floor, the primary bedroom opens to a private balcony overlooking the water, creating a tranquil space to wake up to the ocean breeze or unwind with sunset skies. A second bedroom on this level also features a king bed, 10 ft ceilings, and blackout curtains, providing a restful, quiet escape with seamless access to the main living areas. Downstairs, a single sleeper chair near the entrance accommodates an additional guest if needed. Please note that this is not a traditional pull-out bed.

This home also features a memory foam cot, similar to those found in hotels, for added flexibility. The cot can be set up in the convertible bedroom space on the first floor, next to the pull-out sleeper sofas, providing an extra comfortable sleeping option for an additional guest.

The kitchen is fully equipped with high-end appliances, including a Viking oven range,a Miele convection oven, a Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, a two-drawer dishwasher, microwave, French press, pour-over coffee station, wine fridge, toaster, blender, and electric kettle. Whether you`re cooking in or bringing food home, this space was designed for functionality and flow.

The living and dining areas are open and sunlit, framed by west-facing windows that bring the ocean into every moment of your stay. Two private balconies invite you to soak in panoramic views from Palos Verdes to Malibu, offering front-row seats to dolphins, surfers, and some of Southern California’s most beautiful sunsets.

Enjoy cooking at the rotisserie BBQ while taking in uninterrupted views of the beach and ocean. Multiple seating areas on the balconies, patio, and sunroom offer perfect spots to relax and admire the beautiful beach scenery throughout the day. A direct beach view, along with a public sand court located directly out front and easily accessible, further enhances the outdoor experience. Mounts for shore fishing are also available.

The home includes air conditioning via mini-split systems, central heating, a washer and dryer, smart TVs in both bedrooms and the kitchen, and a private one-car garage. Guests will also find premium beach gear, a handheld steamer, and everything needed for a comfortable extended stay.

Outside, you’ll have access to shared outdoor amenities with the adjacent unit, including a furnished patio, a shaded cabana, lawn chairs, grill, and a cozy firepit area. These shared spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and we’re happy to coordinate time slots upon request.

Guests will appreciate the convenience of a small grocery store, coffee shop, and several restaurants located within two blocks of the property. For those looking to explore, it is a scenic walk along the Strand sidewalk to downtown and the iconic pier, offering beautiful ocean views along the way.

Just steps from your door, you’ll find volleyball courts, sandy stretches for sunbathing or paddleboarding, and endless opportunities to walk, bike, or jog along the coast.

A short two-block walk uphill leads to Highland Avenue, home to local coffee shops, restaurants, and boutiques. A little further is the Manhattan Beach Village, where you’ll find upscale dining, wellness studios, and the beloved Manhattan Beach Pier.
