MANHATTAN BEACH Magical Spanish Style Cottage Steps 2 Beach
About this cottage rental
Located in Manhattan Beach, this lovely cottage for $315 per night is a great option for your next trip. THIS IS THE MOST CHARMING PLACE YOU WILL FIND IN MANHATTAN BEACH! NOW ALLOWED TO DO SHORT TERM RENTAL IN THIS COASTAL ZONE PROPERTY (2 blocks to the beach) Stay in a piece of history as this property is the #1 Historic Landmark home with the City of Manhattan Beach. Plz inquire for 30 day stay and will adjust dates after your inquiry. 1932 Spainish Colonial Home steps to beach! On a walk street with outdoor seating area. PLZ INQUIRE FOR SHORTER STAYS OR DISCOUNT ON LONG TERM STAYS. MAXIMUM GUESTS: 4 (including children), BEST for 2 adults. 10min. UBER/LYFT to property from LAX. Here in Manhattan Beach, many historic homes and buildings are torn down without fanfare to make room for new constructions…but we couldn't bear to give that same death sentence to this charismatic 1930's Spanish-style villa! Manhattan Beach is the perfect location for this personality-packed home, which is a less than 5-minute walk to the ocean and one of the Beach’s best surf spots (we're located on a walk street so accessing the beach couldn't be easier). And it’s also perfect for those who wish to escape to a laid back place by the sea that’s still just 5 minutes from LAX—and centrally located near downtown LA, Hollywood, Long Beach, Santa Monica, Venice, and Anaheim/Disneyland, too. Manhattan Beach is the kind of place where locals come to walk their dogs on The Strand’s walking / biking path and escape the more tourist-heavy beaches. From this rental, all of Manhattan Beach’s perks are in close walking distance—like the ocean, shops and restaurants on Manhattan Beach Blvd & Pier to the south, and shops & bars to the north. This home sleeps 4, with one California King bed in the bedroom, one bath, and one plush sofa bed. Other perks include washer/dryer, free WiFi, and one private parking spot—believe me, you’ll want one in this area! The Home is just the right size for a couple, small family, or a traveling business professional. My husband and I fell in love with the home’s history, and throughout our recent remodel, we took great care to maintain its colorful personality and heritage and enhanced its existing beauty with Spanish tile work, rich turquoise paint, and vintage artwork from Mexico. Wake up and fry an egg in the sunny eat-in kitchen, using the vintage, professionally refurbished O'Keefe & Merritt cobalt blue stove. We LOVE this delightful stove, and so do our guests—in fact, we find it provides a more even heat than today’s sleek, modern models. A turquoise back splash, custom-made self closing cabinets and dining area with exotic monkey pod wood bar top and vintage tractor seat stools give the whole kitchen the feel of a fun Mexican restaurant—a great space to spend a night in. The bathroom includes a brand new, cast iron claw foot tub with shower. Sink into it with a glass of wine! The toilet and pedestal sink are brand new, too. But we maintained the Spanish influence with custom made tiles, a new light fixture from Mexico, and a vibrant paint color. One of our guests called it a “mini Mexican mansion”— The home is decorated with beautiful authentic Mexican furniture, light fixtures and artwork for our guests to enjoy. There are ocean breeze blowing in through the many gorgeous new double hung windows. Dimmers on most of the lights throughout the home create a special glow and ambiance in the evening. COME AND SEE US! We’d love to have you at this charming beach close villa in Manhattan Beach. We know you’ll fall in love with it as we did. You have California beach living at its best! NO PARTIES ALLOWED. Get in touch with us today to book your stay!

Absolutely loved this property. It's a few blocks from the beach and pretty close to restaurants and shops in the area! I will say it was pretty warm in the house, but after we opened the windows, the temperature dropped. Annette was wonderful to work with, she made this whole process run smoothly! We can't wait to come back again! If you are debating on renting this cottage, just do it! You will not be disappointed.

We had a wonderful stay at Annette's Spanish Cottage. It was the perfect location and walking distance to everything from the beach to downtown. Annette was very welcoming and thoughtful. A lot of love went into preserving the history of the home and the indoor and outdoor space is beautiful with mosaic tile. The home was the perfect spot for our stay while visiting my brother in beautiful Manhattan Beach. We will return again.

Quaint beach home in a great location
Property is well situated - plenty of options for walkable restaurants and other activities. Short walk - perhaps 325 steps - to the strand and beach. Well maintained and the owner checked in with us continuously to make sure everything was in order and we were enjoying our stay. High recommendation. Thank you Anette and Chris.

This precious place was perfect for my 2 teen daughters & myself as they played in a beach volleyball tournament. The decor is fun & the location cannot be beat. You can see the ocean from the new patio still under construction, and the designated parking spot is very helpful. Coffee shops & restaurants within walking distance too. The owners are super responsive and attentive, and if you need anything they are quick to oblige.

A lovely place
I had a perfect stay here. The apartment is tastefully furnished and had everything you could want. Located just two blocks from the beech and within walking distance of several nice restaurants and a small but well-stocked grocery store. Annette was the perfect host, checking in several times to see if I had everything I needed (I did) and even responded promptly to my text when I couldn’t figure out how to work the tv, patiently walking me through the steps to reboot it. Highly recommended for a couple or solo traveler.

Nice Place
Great place, very nice owner and easy to work with. Annette was very thoughtful and left beach chairs and an umbrella for us. Unit is nicely decorated just like the pictures show. The tough part was the lack of A/C, the unit is on a busier street and windows had to be left open and it was still hot + the noise. If just the bedroom had a wall A/C unit it would be a 5 star hands down. If you are going at a cooler time of year great place. We stayed mid-August and it was hot, real hot, and the inside did not cool down much after the sun goes down even with windows open.

Enjoyable retreat!
We really enjoyed our stay. Annette was very nice! The villa was very clean, which was important to us. All of the furnishings were in great shape and everything worked well. The shower was great. We were there to watch our daughter play volleyball and so the location was very convenient to the different beaches and piers. The pull out couch was especially comfortable, which was a wonderful surprise. Although we didn't really use the kitchen, it was fully equipped. We would definitely choose to stay there again in the future!

Fantastic beach villa
We had an amazing stay at Annette’s villa. Perfect for a couple or small family. The beach was a delightful barefoot walk away. The accommodation was unique and very comfortable. Highly recomendable. I will definitely be coming back for more Manhattan relaxation.

A Great Stay!
We had a wonderful time here and loved how conveniently located it was to everything! Close and within walking distance to the beach and restaurants. We were able to spend our visit in both the upstairs and downstairs units and felt comfortable in both. Annette was extremely accommodating and a great host. It made the trip all that much better!

Cute little villa very close to the beach.
We had a nice stay at this charming villa. It was a nice walk to the beach from here. It is definitely small and probably best for two people. We would have liked some sort of outside space to hang out at. The owner was very kind and accommodating with our flight schedule.

Sweet spot!
This is an absolutely wonderful location, a barefoot pad two blocks of sidewalk straight down to the beach between the MB luxury homes. Annette and Chris are sweet and responsive and the house is adorable. My 25-year-old daughter and I were very comfortable and happy here! The pizza and the breakfast places three blocks down are all good, too...we'll be back!

Great accommodations plus a stunning decor
Lucky for me I got to stay in both units and while different they are both very well decorated and comfortable including the beds (a major plus). The owners, Annette and Chris, were excellent hosts and not imposing but always available and very helpful. I highly recommend this property and look forward to another stay on my next trip West.

OUR FAVORITE PLACE TO STAY IN MANHATTAN BEACH!
This was our second time staying in the upper apartment. Located a short walk to the beach and had all the amenities needed for an extended stay in Manhattan Beach. The apartment is beautiful, clean, and welcoming. Our favorite part of the home was the outdoor patio. We traveled with our almost three year old son and the apartment was very spacious for the three of us. Beach chairs and toys were available for use. Annette was available to answer any questions before and during our stay. We hope to visit again next year!

A MUST STAY!
Annette's Spanish getaway is a must stay for any beach lover. The home is in the heart of Manhattan's night life and is right in front of the walkway that takes you down to the beach (about 3 streets down of walking distance). The home has so much detail and personality. Annette is also a warm and welcoming host who genuinely cares about her guests' stay. I stayed here for my birthday getaway and was comfortably able to fit a few of my friends and myself. Will definitely be back!

Amazing home/ Lovely Host
Annette was very helpful, courteous, and just simply put, a lovely host. We used this amazing spanish style home for a photo shoot. Unfortunately for us it rained that day, so we could not utilize how close this was to the beach. So we had to do all indoor shots, but the decor was unique with the pop color walls. And Annette travels around the world collecting one of a kind pieces to decorate this amazing space. Overall, a great shoot despite the rain. Thanks Annette!

Perfect home away from home
I can't say enough about this beautiful authentic Spanish styled home in Manhattan Beach. The home was fully equipped with every possible thing you could need. Fluffy towels, comfortable linens, easy wifi and a fully stocked kitchen. Wonderful areas to relax, indoor and outdoor, a beautiful view and a warming fireplace. Walking distance to everything, the beach and wonderful restaurants and grocery options. Annette was an amazing and responsive host and clearly wants you to enjoy her stylish and comfortable home. She has left no detail unattended to and the pride she has for her home shows in every way. Thank you a wonderful stay, we will certainly join you again when we return.

small home minutes from the beach
I stayed in the lower level of the Spanish style villa with 3 teens. It's a cute small (500 sq ft) 1 bedroom home with a pull out sofa bed. Best part was that it was minutes from Manhattan Beach-about 2 blocks. You can see the ocean from the sidewalk. Super close to the shopping areas and many restaurants, teens felt very independent and knew where every shop was located! We were there for the 4th of July weekend and took a uber to Redondo Beach for the big fireworks show (a 10-12 min drive along the coast). Easy driving to several beaches. The property comes with all that you need for your stay, including beach towels and washer/dryer. Annette was quick to respond to any questions we had via txt. The only thing that could have made it better would be air conditioning, although opening the windows and letting the ocean breeze in helped, and an outdoor patio, which Annette informed me they are building...Can't wait to return when they build the outdoor sitting area. Can you say peace and relaxation?

Charming Spanish Home, Superb Location
We stayed at Annette & Chris's beautifully decorated home (top floor) for our 25th wedding anniversary trip. Definitely the most unique and cozy place we've EVER rented. The furnishings were gorgeous. Sea breezes through the window every night. Comfy, private patio. Walking distance to great restaurants. We walked the Strand everyday and enjoyed easy access to many local day trips. Highly recommend for couples. Annette was warm and easy to work with. She even brought us flowers and an anniversary card in person!
