You can hear the ocean!

Nancy and John are wonderfully kind hosts, and the decor is warm and comfortable. I got the best sleep I have had in years, and felt relaxed and refreshed every day. The location was terrific for me as I was driving all over LA, the Valley and the Inland Empire. The dogs Ollie and Kota and hearing the ocean waves at night were the cherry on top of the Sunday. It was a terrific stay.

Very nice location with plenty of outdoor space that is an oasis in all that crowded area.

We really enjoyed our stay. The bed and sleeper couch were very comfortable and the shower was very nice. You can walk or bike to most basic necessities otherwise a very short drive. Just be aware on weekends it can be difficult to find parking.

Perfect Location for Beachgoers!

My husband and I stayed in the apartment for the month of January, it's very clean, quiet, private and the location is amazing! It's practically on the borderline of Hermosa Beach & Manhattan Beach, a beautiful & quiet beach community. When you walk through the property gate you're transported to an eclectic little Mexican villa filled with plants, colors and wonderful places to sit in quiet privacy. We could walk to the beach in minutes and hear the ocean while sitting inside or out on the private deck at night. There's restaurants and shops in walking and biking distance, and times we had a car we never had a problem parking on the street right outside the apartment. The hosts couldn't be nicer! They are so helpful if you need anything, are really down to earth and fun to talk to yet give you total privacy. We have relatives in the area & normally do not need to find accommodations but the next time we're in town we'd still want to drop by just to see them. We're animal lovers so the resident dog was an added bonus. We would definitely recommend this apartment to people seeking extremely close proximity to the beach, a nice & clean apartment and wonderful hosts!

Perfect beach getaway

As someone who has lived a couple blocks away from this spot for years, I can say this is the most unique spot in California. Not only is the location key but the outdoor space makes for an incredible and comfortable stay. The owners are absolutely fantastic and have done an amazing job with this house. Would absolutely stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Nancy Rogers

The Rogers have lived in the house since the mid 80's and have contemplated rebuilding many times but have decided to keep the cozy, warm, charming beach bungalow feel, so that every time you walk through the gate, you feel at ease. Home sweet home.
