Beach Pad on The Strand Steps to the Pier
Your next vacation or business retreat awaits at this bright and airy top floor unit in a prime location of Manhattan Beach. This unit is located on The Strand bike path adjacent to the sand, while being steps from the iconic Manhattan Beach Pier and downtown area. As you visit this laid-back South Bay beach community, you will have everything you need within walking distance. This popular “Surfin' USA'” town south of LAX epitomizes beach life and is a favorite among locals and tourists alike.
Fall in love with the charm of this quaint 1920s era beach bungalow featuring a 100 year old front door, red oak floors, fluted crystal door knobs, a porcelain pedestal sink and art deco crystal ceiling light features. This unit was decorated to replicate 1920s interior design with bold geometric patterns. The classic character of this unit offers a warm welcoming vibe, all while being located in the best spot in town!
If you want to relax inside, you can enjoy the view, ocean breeze and sounds of the waves crashing while you sip a cup of morning coffee or lounge on the couch. If you want to get active, you can walk/jog/bike/rollerblade or skateboard down the famous Strand path that winds two miles along the oceanfront between modern mansions and wide stretches of sand, lined with volleyball courts. If you want to explore, it's a 3 minute walk to the pier which features a downtown area filled with dozens of boutiques, restaurants, cafes, coffee shops, bars, pubs, & creative, upscale eateries. Or, if you want to hit the beach, we provide 4 beach chairs, 6 beach towels, a beach tent, an umbrella and two coolers to set up a perfect beach day. In less than 5 minutes, you can be basking in the sun on the sand with a seat, a refreshing drink and a good book.

The location you can’t beat. This condo had everything right down to the boogie boards! It was easy access, family friendly, and quiet. The sunset was a highlight! Thank you!!
Loved this place! Excellent location, very clean and comfortable, and loved that the host provides pretty much anything you’ll need for your stay including beach towels and beach chairs. I will definitely be booking this place again! 🤩
This Beach Pad had all the amenities you might need - beach necessities, kitchen supplies for eating in with kiddos, all the essentials you might need! Communication was great with the owner, we had all the information we needed for our stay. Perfect location - The Strand / beach access is steps away and walking distance to so many restaurants (shout out Rock N Fish!) and shops.
This beach house is so cute and comfortable. The location was amazing! Very easy access to the beach and a quick 2min walk to restaurants, shops and the Pier.
My family and I stayed here and loved it! It was steps from the beach and close to the main part of town with so many shops and restaurants within walking distance. I would highly recommend!
This is the perfect little place and decorated so cute, it's clean and an excellent location to walk to just about anything in Manhattan Beach! Great communication with property manager and very well stocked with everything you will need.
We enjoyed everything about our stay . The location was perfect. We rented bicycles and rode to the Hermosa pier daily . The view from the living room and the sounds of waves at night were exactly what we were looking for. Perfect for our family of four.
Can't have a better location in MB! We stay in MB several times per year and this is as good as it gets for location. Small, but as advertised. We had a great time!

Fantastic location, excellent host, every possible amenity provided including all household items as well as beach chairs, umbrellas, etc. Overall utterly fantastic.
The best location, steps to the sand and beach. Everything is perfect except for there's only 1 bathroom. Anyway it's a must-stay to take the most advantage of Manhattan beach and LA.
We had an amazing stay at this lovely home just steps from The Strand in Manhattan Beach. The location is fantastic as you can walk out the door and be on the beach as well as just walk up the street to shops and restaurants. Beds were great as well as shower pressure. The host was super responsive and went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed!
This property was perfect for a family! The home itself was comfortable and had everything we needed. The neighborhood and walking distance to great night life and restaurants was amazing. The beach was amazing and so nice to be right on the beach but far enough that you didn’t have walkers peaking in your windows. Highly recommend!
We desired a little getaway from our busy lives and we got it! This property was perfectly placed for easy access (walking) to the beach, local activities and eateries. It was clean, neat and exactly as described. We would absolutely return for another visit. Thank you for your hospitality.
This was such an incredible location! My daughter played in a huge beach volleyball tournament and we could just walk to the courts/pier. We had plenty of space for our group and having the washer and dryer was so great! Communication was easy and responsive with the owner and we would definitely stay here again!
Beautiful ocean view and within easy walking distance to pier, shops and restaurants. Would suggest adding a few more lamps and hooks for personal belongings inside the house. Having a parking spot was a huge plus. Additionally, we were able to easily access the metro link to get to Sofi Stadium.
