We stayed slightly over a week at this lovely property. Super close to the beach and great location. House is stocked with all the beach fun stuff you could need. The kitchen is spacious and great for making meals.
Kirk is a great host. He was super friendly and helpful. The location is in a great spot for the beach and local down town Hermosa. The home was clean, roomy and Kirk has it stocked better than any VRBO location I’ve stayed in. Highly recommend this location!

Thank-You. We hope to see you back in Hermosa Beach again very soon.
We absolutely loved our stay at this Beach Paradise! Everything from the close proximity to the beach to the spacious rooms to the availability of outdoor equipment was wonderful! We highly recommend this VRBO for anyone looking to stay in paradise.
Our host was the best, very understanding and gracious. Hermosa Beach is one of the better beaches in Southern California. The location of the rental to the beach was ideal. The rental has a relaxing atmosphere, clean with great patios. Our hosts thought of everything to make our stay very accommodating. There’s no need to bring your beach stuff because our hosts had it all, bikes, boogie boards, beach toys, chairs, etc. And you don’t have to worry about parking!

Place is awesome. Can’t say enough about his place. Great hosts. Has everything you would want and need. Especially like having the bikes to cycle on the Strand. Would stay again if visiting Hermosa Beach.
We have come to Hermosa beach renting amazing places via vrbo for a decade, hands down this rental is the best place we ever stayed, The owners, location and rental were all better than we hoped for. This place is so perfect. Thank you!

Thank-You!!! It was a pleasure having you and your family as our guests. We hope to see you again next year.
First of all, let me say that the accuracy of the listing is not showing all the amazingness of it meaning I wanna give it 10 stars for location and comfort and all that and where it’s located.Our 17-year-old, especially enjoyed the elevator which I never saw on the listing. I would say I only gave it a four star for child friendliness because if you have toddlers, the stairs are pretty steep inside the apartment but anyone over that age is fine three and up totally fine

Thank-You. We are glad you enjoyed your stay. We hope to see you again! Stairs can be tricky for some guests, but the elevator is always an option in those rare circumstances.
We spent two wonderful months at Kirk's place. The home is comfy and clean. The primary bedroom has a great walk in closet. The bed is really comfortable and the bed linens are lovely. I cook a lot, and the kitchen is very well stocked. The washer and dryer are so convenient and spotless. Kirk is the perfect host. We look so forward to our return visit in October.

Kirk and Mary Jo are fantastic hosts. The house has everything you could ask for including cruiser bikes, boogie boards, surf boards, beach chairs and umbrellas. Conveniently located just a couple blocks north of Hermosa Pier. We couldn’t have enjoyed it more!

Thanks John!!! It was a pleasure having you as our guest, again. We hope to see you back in Hermosa Beach next summer.
This was our absolute favorite beach rental. It has everything you need and more to make it a fantastic stay. Steps from the beach and restaurants, large fully stocked kitchen, great interior, comfortable beds, a garage full of bikes and gear for guests. We couldn’t have asked for more and it was hard to leave after a wonderful month in Hermosa Beach. Mary Jo and Kirk are very kind and friendly, we are looking forward to coming back to this gem.

Thank-You! It was so much fun having you as our guests. We hope to see you again soon. Come back anytime!!!
We really enjoyed our stay at this spacious and beautiful house. The bedrooms were very nice, and there was plenty of room overall.Our host Kirk was very kind, gave us a tour of the house, and shared helpful tips about the neighborhood. We were also allowed to use things like beach chairs, a cooler, and bicycles, which was a great bonus.The location is fantastic, just a short walk to a beautiful beach.The only small downside was that on some of the hotter days, without air conditioning, the house could stay warm in the evenings and mornings, even with the windows open. This sometimes made sleeping a little uncomfortable, but it only happened during the higher temperatures.All in all, a wonderful villa and highly recommended!

It was a real pleasure having you as our guest. It was unfortunate that your visit happened during a record heat wave in Los Angeles with temperatures in the high 80’s, because normally air conditioning is not needed at the beach.The average high temperature at the beach in the Summer is 73 degrees, so normally fans are enough to cool off. I hope that we see you again on your next visit. Thanks again!!!
Great Rental in Fantastic Location in Hermosa Beach
We had a wonderful experience here. The location is ideal as you are steps from the beach and right by all the shops and restaurants at the Hermosa Pier. The house itself is very comfortable and equipped with everything you might need for a great beach stay — towels, bikes, surf boards, beach chairs, volleyballs, sand toys, etc. WiFi worked well and kitchen was well stocked for a longer stay. The outdoor balcony and rooftop are great places to catch some sunshine and relax. Kirk and Mary Jo were great to deal with and we’re so friendly and accommodating. I would definitely stay again if given the opportunity.

It was a pleasure having you stay at our vacation home. We hope to see you again in the future!
Had a fantastic month in Hermosa beach. The property listing was very accurate as were the great reviews that led us to book Kirk and Mary Jo’s place. Communication was fantastic with both hosts and we really felt well taken care of.
The place is equipped with everything you need to have a wonderful beach vacation. I also was able to work remotely easily with the high speed internet and even got to bring the laptop to the rooftop deck and put in some hours in the sun. Beach is less than a block away.
Wish we had more of an opportunity to use all the beach toys and bikes - next time!
Thanks for a fantastic stay and a chance to make some memories with our family.

Family Vacation
The condo was wonderful and MaryJo was amazing. She was so considerate and helpful, always available if we had questions. Her property is a great location to get to the beach and anywhere along the Strand. She had all the fun accessories for the beach as well with beach toys, surf board, beach chairs and umbrellas. It was completely stocked. The kitchen is our favorite place of the entire condo. It is spacious and a perfect gathering spot. We were able to have a clear view of the 4th of July fireworks from the rooftop deck without having to crowd with everyone else on the beach. Overall, we couldn't have asked for better accommodations or location. It was fabulous!

Thank you Jean! I'm so glad you all enjoyed the condo and a little bit of beach living!! Makes it all worth it! Enjoy the rest of your summer and please come back again!!
We just spent a month at this perfectly located, extra spacious townhouse. Fully stocked HUGE kitchen. New stainless steel appliances, bbq grill on private deck, and another on the shared upper deck. Electric fireplace for cool mornings and evenings. Even has a private elevator to move luggage and people between floors. Only steps to the beach, restaurants, and shops. Everything provided for a fun time ... generous selection of beach bikes, surfboards, beach chairs, umbrellas, beach toys, sports equipment, beach towels. The hosts, Kirk and Mary Jo, are fantastic! Super accommodating and available if needed. We will definitely be back next year!

We can't imagine staying anywhere else for our beach vacation.
This was our third time staying at Mary Jo’s home, and it gets better each visit. The house itself becomes part of our vacation... we enjoy spending time in the large kitchen, on the balcony and the rooftop deck. The beds and the bedding are comfortable and relaxing. The elevator is not only fun, but comes in handy with the luggage. Everything about the home makes you feel welcome.
The location is amazing, so close to the ocean and we love spending time in Hermosa Beach, there is so much to do! We take walks on the strand and the Pier, and we love to ride the bikes all the way to Venice Beach. A short walk to Pier Avenue offers your choice of coffee shops, restaurants, and retail shops.
Early in the morning, we love to go get coffee to watch the sunrise, and we head out to the beach after dinner to watch the beautiful Southern California sunset.
Mary Jo is so friendly and always available & helpful if you need anything. A fantastic host!
We travel from the East Coast, to visit our family in Los Angeles, and we can't imagine staying anywhere else for our beach vacation.
Look no further, Book this place!! It’s perfect! 5 Stars!
Everything about our stay here was nothing but amazing ! We stayed over 30 days! Kirk and Maryjo are amazing hosts. They made us feel right at home.
It has everything you need. They provide many beach chairs, many bikes, beach towels, a full kitchen with amazing cookware! Fresh clean lines and towels, hair dryer, washer/dryer, grill… I could go on and on with all they provided. And talk about LOCATION! It is perfect. Right in the heart of Hermosa Beach. A few steps away from the stand and the beach. I barely needed a car. I love it so much here! I can not wait to come back again next year, if not sooner! I got so lucky when I found Kirk's and Maryjo’s rental on VRBO! It is a gem! I can not say enough of how happy and how much fun my family and I had during our stay here. I’ll truly miss it! But I’ll be back! 5 stars for sure!!!

It was so much fun having you and your family as our guests in Hermosa Beach. We really hope to see you again. Come back anytime!!!
We had an absolutely incredible family stay in Hermosa Beach! The location couldn’t have been better—right by the beach with everything we needed just a short walk away. It made travelling with the kids so easy and stress-free, with plenty of cafes, shops, and things to do nearby.The accommodation itself was beautiful, clean, and perfect for a family, with plenty of space for everyone. The rooftop terrace was a real highlight—such a lovely spot to unwind while the kids relaxed after a day at the beach.A special mention to Kirk, our host, who was fantastic from the moment we arrived. He personally showed us around and gave us some really helpful local tips, which made a big difference to our trip.For brunch, we highly recommend Martha’s—great food, welcoming atmosphere, and perfect for families.All in all, a perfect family getaway. We wouldn’t hesitate to return and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Hermosa Beach!

Thank-You. We really hope to see you again in the future!!!
Was a wonderful location. Easy access to the beach, restaurants and could walk everywhere,. Most important was being able to walk to our daughters house and seeing our grandchildren.
Wow! What a nice property!! Kirk was an amazing host. He gave us a full run through of the features of the house and neighborhood. The fun equipment available made it really easy. Several bikes, beach chairs, boogie boards and surf boards. We really enjoyed the outdoor deck. The beds were very comfortable. We couldnt have had a nicer stay!!
Everything about our Hermosa Beach House experience was perfect! We leased the property for a month and we were not ready to leave when our time was up! The owners/managers of the property were top notch. Couldn’t of asked for better! Home is less than a block from the beach and just a few blocks from restaurants, bars and the market for groceries. We enjoyed all of the activities! Beach Volleyball, beach tennis, boogie boarding, surfing, biking, running and walking on the Strand. Thank you Ayers for having us enjoy your beautiful Beach House, would love to make it back out again sometime in the near future!

Hosted by Kirk Ayers
Hi, my name is Kirk and my wife is Mary Jo. We lived in Hermosa Beach for 13 years and although we've been lucky to experience living in different parts of the country, and even 7 years in Canada, our hearts will always remain in Hermosa Beach! It is the greatest place on earth, in our opinion. We enjoy all the time we are able to spend here, and we are excited to share it with others!
Why they chose this property
Because it is located right off the BEACH and near the hub of downtown Hermosa!
