We were three friends going to an SC football game, and combining it with a few lazy days at Manhattan Beach. We were met with super easy check-in, house being very nice and clean. Location is perfect, and the content and layout of the house is really great for experiencing some South Bay beach life. Thanks for a great stay!

Oceans waves abound!

We had a great stay at this beach neighborhood bungalow. It’s not as big and fancy as some of the neighboring properties but it’s well appointed, clean, and cute and has a great location a few blocks up from the beach. Stay at this house if you want easy access to a quintessential classic manhattan beach home experience.

Just left our 10day stay at this darling beach cottage. It has “all the things” you would need or want for a beach vacation. And the view is to die for. The hosts were exceptional when we needed to reach out. Already looking at dates for return trip in 2026.

Girls trip 2025

My best friend from high school and I decided to take a trip to celebrate our 50th birthday. The house was perfect! Morning coffee or evening wine on the patio with ocean view, sound of crashing waves and the neighbors pond with running water was so relaxing. Close walk to the store, restaurants and shopping. Steps to the beach. No vehicle needed. I will definitely use this property again! Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Lovely Manhattan Beach locale

We had a great stay in Manhattan Beach at this lovely home. Steps from the beach with a beautiful beach view. Very comfortable and clean. we stayed for 2 weeks and me and my husband both had adequate space and privacy when we were working. Loved walking into town and walking to the beach- seconds away from the strand. Jane was very helpful and responsive. We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Kristen Harvey

Host profile image
The owners, Jane and Terry, have been Manhattan locals for 50 years. They live nearby and can offer advice, information and personal attention during your stay at the Beach Cottage.

Why they chose this property

Our family purchased our beach cottage to enjoy the unique small town environment of Manhattan Beach….Manhattan is only twenty minutes from downtown Los Angeles and ten minutes from LAX but a million miles away from the tempo of the big city. Now that our children are grown we have the opportunity to share our second home with others.

What makes this property unique

The Cottage is located on a quiet residential walk street two short blocks from the sand, water, strand and v-ball courts. It is a quick walk to MB Pier, amazing restaurants, Farmer's Market (Tues. 11-4), the Plaza, and several grocery stores (Vons. Whole Foods, Bristol Farms, Boccato's.) are just minutes away. We are 15 mins from LAX, and 40 minutes from Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm.

If Christmas is a travel time for you, don't miss viewing the amazing Manhattan Beach fireworks show from our balcony or from the beach sand.
