House in Manhattan Beach, CA

About this house rental
This townhome occupies the center position of a three-unit building at the corner of 40th Street and Ocean Drive, one house back from the sand, with a clear line of sight down 40th to the water and one of the more well-known surf breaks in the South Bay.
Guests enter on the bottom level, near the garage. On the mid level, the primary suite offers a king bed, its own closet, and a full ensuite bath with both a shower and a tub, along with elevated ocean views. Also on the mid level, a second bedroom with a queen bed and its own full ensuite bath (shower only) sits apart from the main living space, giving each guest a private retreat within the home.
On the top level, an open living, dining, and kitchen area is framed by large windows and ocean views. The kitchen is fully equipped for real cooking, with a double-door refrigerator, a four-burner gas range and oven, a dishwasher, and a microwave, and the dining table seats four. Just off the living area, a private ocean-view patio holds outdoor seating and a gas BBQ, a comfortable spot for morning coffee or an evening meal while the sun goes down over the water. A powder room completes this level.
Parking is covered, in the home`s attached garage, and the property does not have a backyard, though the ocean-view patio offers a comfortable outdoor space in its place. The home has been recently refreshed with new furnishings throughout, so guests are settling into a home that has been freshly attended to rather than one showing its age.
This is a home suited to someone who wants a real residential rhythm by the water: a quiet place to settle in, a walk to the sand in minutes, and a view of the sunset each evening.
Guests will have access to the entire home. This is the center unit of a three-unit building, with full-time neighbors residing on either side, so guests should expect a quiet, residential setting rather than a standalone property. Entry is currently by lockbox, with the door code provided prior to arrival; the homeowners are in the process of upgrading to a keypad lock, so these instructions may be updated closer to your stay. Parking is covered in the home`s attached garage, and a garage remote is provided for the stay. The mailbox requires a separate key, which will also be provided. There is no gardener or other staff on-site; landscaping is handled on a monthly service schedule and window cleaning occurs quarterly, both outside of guest hours. Check-in is at 4:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM.
Most people choose to have a car when visiting Southern California. There are an abundant amount of unique and significant attractions within two hours of this home. If you`re an explorer, we recommend a car.
That said, this stretch of Manhattan Beach is highly walkable. The Strand, the beach, and a range of restaurants and shops in downtown Manhattan Beach are all reachable on foot. Uber and Lyft are readily available as well.
The home sits in one of Manhattan Beach`s most sought-after pockets, a short walk from the Strand and the sand at 40th Street. The neighborhood is quiet and residential, lined with well-kept homes and a mix of longtime owners and full-time renters, with the energy of the beach close by rather than in the middle of it. Downtown Manhattan Beach, with its restaurants, coffee shops, and boutiques along Highland Avenue, is an easy walk or short drive away. The area is popular with visiting athletes and professionals training in the South Bay, given its proximity to the beach and local training facilities. LAX is roughly 15 to 20 minutes away by car, making the location convenient for longer stays that still require travel.
