Steps to The Strand + 2 King Beds | Walk Streets + Pier | The Octopus Inn

Set on a quiet stretch of Manhattan Avenue, this home places you in one of the South Bay’s most sought-after locations — the kind of breezy, sand-between-your-toes neighborhood locals love to keep to themselves. The home itself keeps things easy — two bedrooms, each with a king bed, two full baths, and a sun-washed living space anchored by a comfortable leather sofa and a TV for slow mornings or post-beach wind-downs. The kitchen comes fully stocked with everything you'd want for a casual breakfast or a stay-in dinner, including a gas range and a breakfast bar with stools for coffee, conversation, or that first glass of wine while someone finishes plating. A dedicated dining nook gives you a proper spot to sit down together. Two portable standalone A/C units keep the home comfortable no matter how warm the day turns.

The real draw, of course, is the location. Just one house north, you'll find the entrance to 28th Street, while nearby 29th Street offers one of Manhattan Beach’s beloved walk streets lined with surfboards leaning against fences and bougainvillea spilling over hedges, leading straight to The Strand and the sand. From there, it's a flat, breezy stroll south along the path to the Manhattan Beach Pier, where you'll find the free Roundhouse Aquarium at the end and some of the best sunsets in Southern California. Bruce’s Beach, with its grassy hillside perfect for a picnic or sunset hang, sits just half a block south. Up the hill, downtown Manhattan Beach hums with the kind of restaurants, coffee shops, surf stores, and boutiques that make this stretch of coastline feel less like a beach town and more like a neighborhood you'd happily live in.

There is no place quite like LA. It's what people envision when dreaming about California. The entertainment industry has thrived in Hollywood for hundreds of years, calling people from all over the world. Surf lines the western coast of the city in areas like Venice, providing an area for locals and visitors alike to explore legendary beaches. Each of the 400+ neighborhoods in Los Angeles has its voice and story-—meaning there's something in it for everybody. Where do you see yourself?
