Furnished with amenities. Ideal for short-term usage. Great beach access and walking along “The Strand” to downtown shopping and restaurants. Small shared courtyard with the upstairs (full-time) tenants. Sorry, street parking only. Since we are very close to the beach, in typical beach-town fashion, parking \*can\* be challenging. Please note that parking is not always available adjacent to the property. But this location will not disappoint being so close to the beach and only 4 properties away from the sand. This vacation rental has a Manhattan Beach business license allowing for short-term stays. Mandatory TOT ("Transient Occupancy Tax") taxes of 14% apply and will be reflected in guest charges. Absolutely no parties — we do not want to lose our rental privileges, and we wish to be respectful to the neighbors in our wonderful neighborhood. Quiet hours begin at 10pm. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the apartment: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Street parking available ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Shower ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99520000/99517000/99516936/012e8fe3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ocean View Studio Manhattan Beach Sand Section - Sea view - Dryer - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 2 reviews £276 includes taxes & fees 26 Oct - 27 Oct [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-26&endDate=2025-10-27&selected=99516936&PinnedHotelID=99516936&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Sun-loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/85000000/84520000/84512700/84512624/cfc2f394.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming beach home,remodeled,steps to the beach 2 blks downtown Manhattan beach Sand Section - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 36 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-05&endDate=2025-11-06&selected=84512624&PinnedHotelID=84512624&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/117000000/116440000/116432900/116432895/c29500b3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Luxury Beachside Gem + Walk to Beach + Ocean Views Sand Section - Sea view - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 9.0 Wonderful 7 reviews £275 includes taxes & fees 26 Oct - 27 Oct [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-26&endDate=2025-10-27&selected=116432895&PinnedHotelID=116432895&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby, sun-loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33710000/33703300/33703201/5890ff94.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Studio 2 blocks to Beach w/ Parking - Close to LAX Sand Section - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Parking available - Microwave 10 Exceptional 13 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-05&endDate=2025-11-06&selected=33703201&PinnedHotelID=33703201&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/8000000/8000000/7994100/7994010/fe72948a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Venice Suites Venice - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 8.2 Very good 1,273 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-05&endDate=2025-11-06&selected=7994010&PinnedHotelID=7994010&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/117000000/116440000/116435300/116435208/w3000h1700x0y296-18f86693.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Newly Remodeled Cozy Beach Retreat + Ocean Views Sand Section - Sea view - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 9.6 Exceptional 5 reviews £215 includes taxes & fees 24 Oct - 25 Oct [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-24&endDate=2025-10-25&selected=116435208&PinnedHotelID=116435208&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/119000000/118170000/118169900/118169870/c7a317c4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 1 Block to Beach Heaven Chic 2BD Sand Section - Sea view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 1 review £362 includes taxes & fees 9 Nov - 10 Nov [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-09&endDate=2025-11-10&selected=118169870&PinnedHotelID=118169870&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![On the beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/91000000/90800000/90796700/90796620/2943bd91.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Stay around the corner from the Manhattan Beach Strand!

Great location that is close to the beach. Downtown Manhattan Beach/the pier and restaurants are a quick walk down The Strand. Studio is below an apartment with a permanent resident. Lots of upstairs noise from the resident. ##### Sara D.

There was even soap, shampoo, and conditioner available in the shower. Also, a very nice neighborhood, close to the beach, with helpful neighbors upstairs (I had a bit of trouble checking in, and they were ready to help). All in all, my 10-day stay exceeded expectations, and I will definitely come back here. ##### Valentijn H.

This is a studio unit super close to the beach. Vicky the owner is extremely responsive and a great communicator. There are full time tenants above the unit and you definitely can hear them walking around, however, that is why it is so inexpensive for an awesome location in MB. ##### Mirav B. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Juanette A. 18 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Sweet spot near the beach Stayed her for a week while visiting family in the area. Is very adequate for one or two people. Vicky the owner was very helpful to us. Kitchen has all you need for preparing meals. Shower has great water pressure. This apartment is below another apartment... So you do hear upstairs neighbors moving about. Will rent again if needing a place in Manhattan Beach again. ##### Juanette A. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2023
