The location is great—just a short walk to the beach—and the decor has a nice coastal feel. The host was fairly responsive and provided helpful area tips. The kitchen had enough basics for simple meals.However, the property has serious maintenance issues. The bathtub has a large hollow spot that made it unsafe—my child nearly slipped. The A/C was broken all weekend, and with many windows missing screens or having torn ones, airflow wasn’t a good option. There’s also wood rot in the bathroom ceiling, paint overspray on several windows, and a loose overhead kitchen light that felt unsafe. Parking is tight, especially for larger vehicles like my RAM 1500.With better upkeep, this could be a great spot. But for now, improvements are needed before I’d stay again or recommend it to others.
Unsafe for Families – Misleading Listing with No Accountability
We booked this Manhattan Beach rental for a family of five and our pets, expecting a safe, comfortable beach stay based on the listing. Sadly, our experience was the opposite—and we ended up immediately leaving and relocating to a Residence Inn.Parking was one of the first red flags. The listing states that parking is included, but it failed to mention that the space is only suitable for a compact car (think Prius). As a family of five traveling in a full-size SUV, we had no way to park on-site. When I reached out for help, the response was to park ¾ mile away with 2–3 hour parking limits and move the car each time—impossible for any normal family, let alone one with kids and pets.The third-floor unit was a furnace. After hauling all our belongings up three flights of stairs, we found the top-floor rental unbearably hot with no ventilation or cross-breeze. The property manager suggested we open the windows and use a fan. That advice was both unhelpful and unsafe.There were three large operable windows in the main living area, each directly above furniture—a table, a couch, and a chair—creating a direct fall risk for children. There were no screens, no window guards, no safety devices of any kind, despite being three stories up. It’s a terrifying setup for families with kids.I honestly can’t tell you much more about the amenities or accommodations, because we didn’t stay. After seeing how unsafe and impractical the space was, we packed up and checked into a Res
