46 Reviews of Property 194795 in Manhattan Beach, California

My family and I just got back from our vacation to Manhattan Beach and it was a wonderful experience! We have never been to Cali so having a vacation rental that was so fully prepared and equipped made the stay that much more enjoyable. We were surprised at everything the home had to offer. Not to mention how friendly Linda and Michael were. Our trip was smooth sailing from the first e-mail I sent to Linda! It's a gorgeous home inside and out and I would recommend it to anyone. We defiantly want to come back! While you're there don't forget to check out OB's Pub! We had quite a few good times there and the people were awesome! Thanks and wishing we were going back already!!

My wife and I stayed for a month and our grown children visited. The house was spotless and well maintained. Everything you could ever want was there from Beach Chairs to Boogie Boards. They maintained 4 well kept bikes to ride the beautiful Pacific Strand. Our stay was fantastic and The Clelends were very attentive to our needs. It was a pleasure and we intend to return for years to come.

Close to the beach, close to great breakfast spots. fantastic house with ocean vew. well-maintained, spacious. what more can we say? it's the best!

The condo design is fabulous. And everything is new and clean and well maintained. Gormet kitchen and top of the line bbq. The kinda place you would enjoy spending a whole day in if it rained. Everything you need is here, beach towels, (6) chairs, and other beach equipment, (4) bikes, etc. Mike and Linda (the owners) thought of everything! Our family had a blast spending our summer vacation here bonding and building lasting memories. We spent our days surfing in the morning, riding the beach cruisers to a late breakfast in the afternoon (there are miles of strand to ride on), then relaxing at the condo during the mid day, visiting local diners or bbq on the patio for diner, and playing board games and watching movies at night. We enjoyed the ocean view from the top balcony and the rythmic sound of the waves. Windows and patio doors remained open (no need for heat or A/C) and NO BUGS the whole time (except one fly). Mike and Linda were a delight to work with, very nice and friendly - everything went supper smooth. I HIGHLY Recommend this rental.

We arrived at this modern and beautiful beach home on a Friday and were completely surprised by the property. The listing description didn't come close to doing this spectacular home justice. Every conceivable need was considered for the guests down to beach towels, chairs and bikes. This modern home is beautifully furnished and decorated and provides a wonderful living area to congregate with family and friends. The view from the balconies was tremendous and allowed one to watch the surfers without leaving the home. The location near The Strand was terrific for walks and bike rides. Nearby restaurants and shopping were conveniently located which limited the need to drive many places. I will definitely recommend this home to friends and hope to return in the future when I can stay longer. Finally, the owners were so hospitable and accessible during our visit and made the normally anxiety-ridden rental process very easy.

"Our family really enjoyed our stay. It beat any Five Start Hotel, with more space and better view. Thank You. We'll definitely be back- at next opportunity.

We rented this house in mid-March 2010 and couldn't have been happier with our experience. Not only was the house stylish and gorgeous, but Mike and Linda had though of every possible ammenity to ensure that our stay was enjoyable. The layout was ideal, with a fantastic living/dining room and kitchen & enormous windows, and the top floor terrace offered a great grill and a beautiful view of the ocean. The location was perfect for beach-goers and athletic types: the bikes and beach chairs were a big plus, and my we were even able to surf for a few days, thanks to the surfboard at the house.

Thank you Linda and Mike for a memorable stay in Manhattan beach!

Highly recommend staying here. The house is gorgeous - everything is modern and new. The online pictures are very accurate but the house is even better in person. The owners thought of everything - clean, beautiful bathrooms and bedrooms; extremely comfortable beds with professionally laundered linens (makes a big difference!); lots of beach towels, beach chairs, beach umbrella, surf board and body boards and bikes; kitchen was fully stocked with cooking supplies (pots, pans, cutlery, dishes, plates, cups, glasses - all very nice quality!); outdoor grill; washer and dryer.

The location is great - half a block from the beach (you can see the beach and the ocean from the house - it was lovely to wake up to a view of the ocean and we saw some pretty spectacular sunsets from the living room), 15 minutes from LAX, less than 5 minutes driving to Manhattan Beach downtown (it's walkable depending on how used you are to walking but we had two young kids and are used to driving everywhere so we preferred to drive rather than walk). There's a new shopping complex with a Whole Foods and lots of shops 5 to 10 minutes away; also about 5 to 10 minutes away are two supermarkets (Ralphs and Fresh and Easy) and a Costco. Very convenient to shops, restaurants, the freeway, etc. It took us about 35 minutes to get to Disneyland, without traffic.

The owners were very accessible and helpful. They were reachable at all times but were not intrusive.

I highly, highly recommend staying here. We wouldn't stay anywhere else in LA!
