LA Bungalow- Beach/LAX/Sofi 10 min + Pool&HotTub

AnnetteRating, 5 stars1 week ago
I had a great experience staying at Michelle’s place! She was super communicative, kind, and helpful from the start, which made everything so easy and stress-free. The house was exactly like the pictures—clean, cozy, and well taken care of. I really appreciated how welcoming and friendly she was. She made sure that we had a smooth transition into the house and made our stay enjoyable. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

This is the best Airbnb I’ve stayed at in LA. It is in a perfect location in Hermosa Beach. A half block to coffee shops, restaurants, and little boutiques. The beach is only a few blocks away and the strand. The Airbnb is perfectly designed. Very modern yet comfortable, with all the things you want in a stay. Also impeccably clean!

Ellie’s place is fantastic. Love the cozy space… Bougie Beach House the house is squeaky clean from linens to bath towels, kitchen etc. I found Ellie to be very flexible and easy to work with.

Rooftop w/ Ocean Views, 2 Bedroom Beach Townhouse

SimonRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
It was such a great place to stay, we lived there for 3 months as we relocated to LA. The house itself is a bit old but it’s super clean and the location is incredible. Beds were super comfy and it had all the amenities you require. The hosts were honestly so helpful and caring and we would 100% book it again and recommend it to anyone. Great neighborhood, near the beach, great coffee, breakfast & yoga nearby.

Redondo Beach house 5 min walk to beach-Historic

ChristopherRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We've stayed at many AirBnBs over the years, and Debra's place will always stand among the best. An easy, charming walk to the beach is a highlight, for sure, but the house itself is larger than we expected. The owners retreat at the back of the house is quietly set back from the front of the house and the other two bedrooms, allowing for privacy for parents and teens, and we had ample tables and chairs to do our work, our reading, and our planning for day trips. Easy drive to/from the airport, exceedingly walkable to pretty much anything you'd want or need, and parking on-street was consistently easy, right in front of the house. Debra is an ideal host: careful, thoughtful, fun, kind. She made us the best lemonade on earth from the lemons on the tree out front of the house. The hummingbirds were active throughout the day, and watching them at the kitchen window was idyllic. The gardens in the back of the house were amazing. Hard to not say more: a truly great stay!

This was simply the most wonderful home that our family has ever stayed in. We instantly felt at home and were so pleased that the pictures on Airbnb matched what we experienced in person. The location was perfect, as far as being away from the noise and crowds of LA. Yet we still happily enjoyed easy access to beaches, stores and restaurants. We can't wait to stay here again in the future!

Beautiful Beach Cozy Studio: Deck-Spa-Park-Laundry

EricRating, 5 stars4 days ago
The neighborhood location is super - very close to the great Lazy Acres grocery store and just a couple minute drive to the beach and local restaurants. The space is very clean and comfortable, especially for the size. Great appliances and layout of the space for a 1-person stay. Two people would be find for a few days but perhaps a bit tight for longer stays. Excellent to have parking available in the driveway with easy access to the space!

Entire House | By Beach | Parking | Wholefoods

CheriRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We loved staying in Angela’s bungalow. We needed a place to stay while visiting family and this was perfect. Angela was a wonderful hostess. She greeted us with refreshments when we checked in, had an assortment of snacks and drinks in the unit, and even brought us cake on our last night. It felt like a peaceful retreat at the end of each day when we returned to the house. Our favorite part was Angela’s rescue dog, Bailey. She is the sweetest little dog. Since we love animals we would leave our door open and Bailey would make a daily visit for lots of snuggles and pets. We would definitely love to return when coming back to visit family in the area.

Hollywood Hills Retreat-Walk to Universal Studios

JouellaRating, 5 stars5 days ago
The moment we saw the breathtaking view on the listing my partner and I knew we just had to stay here. The host was very friendly and responsive. The place itself was clean and the photos provided showed exactly what they offered. The bed was so comfortable and the bedding smelled amazing. Although on the smaller side, we weren’t too worried as we were only there for one night. We arrived shortly after check in and spent some time on the deck admiring the view and then when it got darker started the pit. Check in was smooth and easy to follow. Clear instructions were provided for the fire pit and the sauna. Neighborhood was very quiet even in a place as busy as LA. Would definitely stay here again for a quick trip!

Had such an amazing stay in Los Angeles, mainly due to Michael’s place meeting and surpassing expectations. Incredible views of the city and the attention to detail throughout this place made us instantly feel comfortable and at home. From the large comfortable beds, both bathrooms and showers, the home cinema, the kitchen and dining area layout and in the instructions put in place telling us how everything works was a really nice touch from the host. Our host, Michael, was very helpful from the day we reserved to the day we checked out, such a friendly and informative host. Thanks a lot, can’t wait to visit again. Neil & Sandra

Your guide to Manhattan Beach

Welcome to Manhattan Beach

Manhattan Beach is a glamorous city surrounded by more low-key surf locales. While this place has hung on to a small-town feel and can claim plenty of surfer cred, it has leaned into a more glitzy interpretation of coastal living, with opulent seaside homes, upscale boutiques, and ritzy gastropubs. Manhattan wears its luxury character on its sleeve — think complicated cocktails served by a rooftop firepit — and is happy to have it both ways.

One of its most recognizable institutions is an unpretentious restaurant, advertised by a giant model of a cauldron hanging from a post on its roof, which slings burgers, fries, and giant stacks of pancakes. Spend the morning wandering the glossy home decor and clothing stores clustered near Manhattan Boulevard and then make your way to the beach, where volleyball courts and sun-warmed sand beckon. Watch surfers carve through the swells at the vaunted El Porto surf break, go for a dip in the cool water, and spend your evening dining on fresh seafood with a waterfront view.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Manhattan Beach

During the summer, Manhattan Beach pulses with surfers in wetsuits, beachgoers in bikinis, and sidewalks buzzing with outdoor diners and shoppers. The rest of the year isn’t too different: Southern California’s pleasant climate means the beach is active year-round, although winter is cooler and mornings are marked by marine layer — low-lying clouds that scuttle in from the ocean. Every year, usually in August, bleachers are erected on the sand and tens of thousands pour in for the Manhattan Beach Open, the only professional volleyball tournament in which amateurs can qualify to play.


Top things to do in Manhattan Beach

Manhattan Beach Pier

The city’s pier juts 900 feet into the water, offering panoramic views of the beach and surf. With bright blue railings and distinctive glass globe lights atop cement pedestals, it has a retro flair. You can fish off the pier year-round, as well as tread the Volleyball Walk of Fame, a series of bronze plaques commemorating the winners of the Manhattan Beach Open. Its tip offers superior sunset viewing, and benches lining the pier allow for leisurely wave-gazing any time of day.

The Strand

This popular pathway runs along the top of the beach and connects Manhattan to nearby Hermosa Beach in the south — the city’s shaggy surfer cousin — and Santa Monica to the north. It’s perfect for a leisurely stroll or pedal, so hop on this trail to ogle the palatial beach homes that guard the beach.

Light Gate

This glass and metal art installation at 14th Avenue and Highland Avenue is shaped like a giant keyhole — a big, flat orb with an opening in the center. Twice a year, on January 27 and November 14, the sunset aligns with the keyhole, and a gleaming ray of light courses through the center. The sculpture’s decorative glass panels create colorful prism-like refractions year-round.
