About this property

Includes beach gear so you can live like a local: bikes, surfboards, SUP, boogie board, chairs and umbrellas.
The space Top Highlights (read this first) + Oceanfront on The Strand with huge, unobstructed Pacific views (sunsets + Catalina on clear days) + Steps to the sand and walkable to downtown Manhattan Beach + the Pier + Remodeled, design-forward “glass house” feel with indoor-outdoor living + Sleeps 6 with 2 King bedrooms + a King loft (a guest-favorite feature) + Loft access via ladder (kids love it; great for adventurous couples) + Beach gear included: bikes + surfboards + SUPs + boogie boards + chairs/umbrellas (bonus amenity) + Chef’s kitchen with Sub-Zero refrigerator for real cooking (not a “vacation rental kitchen”) + A/C + in-unit washer/dryer + Private patio for coffee, sunsets, and front-row ocean views
What’s Included - A/C - High-speed Wi-Fi - Washer + dryer - Fully stocked kitchen essentials (cookware, dishes, glassware, basic tools) - Sub-Zero refrigerator - Linens + towels + starter toiletries - Outdoor foot wash (no hot outdoor shower) - Beach setup (chairs/umbrellas; gear varies by season/condition) - Bikes / surfboards / SUPs / boogie board (bonus amenity; use at your own risk) ***Note: Beach gear is a complimentary extra. Availability can vary due to maintenance, weather, and normal wear.
Layout & Sleeping - Primary Bedroom: King bed - Bedroom 2: King bed + loft access - Loft Sleeping Area: King bed (accessed via a ladder from Bedroom 2) - Bathrooms: 2 full bathrooms ***Important loft note: The loft is a unique feature guests love, especially families (older kids think it’s the coolest) and younger couples. Because it’s accessed by a ladder, the loft is use at your own risk and is not suitable for children who need supervision, guests with mobility limitations or for anyone uncomfortable with ladders/heights.
Parking & Access - Parking: Street parking is available nearby on Manhattan Avenue - For 30+ day stays, we can arrange a dedicated parking spot (details provided after booking) - Stairs: While no stairs in the house, there are several steps, various levels, and a ladder for the loft. Please plan accordingly.
Noise & Privacy Expectations (important) - This is a prime oceanfront location on The Strand. You’ll see and hear the beach world: walkers, cyclists, weekend energy, and the ocean - The home is best enjoyed with windows/doors open for sea breeze, which can also mean you may hear normal Strand activity, especially on weekends and in summer - No parties/events. Quiet hours are strictly respected. Hosts live literally next door :)
Local Highlights - Manhattan Beach Pier & downtown: restaurants, shops, and coffee within a short walk - Beach lifestyle: Strand walks, surfing, paddleboarding, volleyball, sunsets from your patio - Easy access to LAX and South Bay favorites
Perfect For - Families who want a memorable “SoCal beach adventure” - Two couples + kids (the loft is a huge hit) - Guests who want the ultimate walkable, oceanfront Strand experience - Travelers who value design + location + views more than “cheap per night”
Not a Fit If… - You need total silence. You’ll hear the waves (that’s a guarantee) and The Strand can be active, especially weekends - You want a fully secluded property (this is oceanfront and The Strand is in front) - Anyone in your group cannot safely use a ladder (loft access)

About the host
Hosted by JR Johnson
Our family has lived in Manhattan Beach for multiple generations and love this little beach community. This is a special place and we love sharing our hometown with visitors. We are a family with 2 daughters, and we live literally next door to this listing.
Why they chose this property
The location can't be beat. It checks all the boxes: - on the strand - on a walk street - south of pier (most desirable section of Manhattan Beach) - close walk to downtown Manhattan Beach
What makes this property unique
We travel a lot and have stayed at a lot of VRBO rentals. We we like to think we've set our house up to be a really special experience. We want our guests to have a true Manhattan Beach experience like: - a surf or paddle in the morning - watch the kids boogie boarding and playing in the sand - bike rides to Hermosa or Redondo - walk to the aquarium and touch tanks at the end of the pier - stroll into town for dinner or drinks - sit on patio and do nothing but watch the sunset - nap
