Experience the throwback vibes of the 60s, 70s, and 80s in this eclectic, spacious, and colorful retro-inspired single family beach house in prime Manhattan Beach! Only a 5 minute walk to the waves, it offers ocean views, and two-car garage parking. After a day of beach fun, unwind on the cozy patio with a fire pit, perfect for a laid-back night. This home is centrally located, providing seamless access to gourmet markets, trendy shops, and top-notch restaurants.
Positioned on a desirable corner lot, this candy-colored home offers increased privacy and superior ocean views. It isn't your typical getaway as it reflects the eye-catching designs of the disco era! The blend of patterns and florals bring the space to life, creating a vibe that is joyful, carefree, and funky, all while maintaining the old school charm with the warm wood paneled walls, stained glass windows, and colorful ceramic tiles. The property was decorated an eclectic mix of plush and wood furniture, groovy patterns, and velvet headboards.
The two-story house comfortably sleeps 8. The master bedroom on the first floor features a King bed (sleeps 2) with its own bathroom, workstation with a vanity/desk and chair, and a private old-school flap door wet bar. The second bedroom upstairs features two queen beds (sleeps 4), a full bathroom, and a walk-in space originally designed as a closet, but now houses a dedicated workstation equipped with a desk, chair, and a window for natural light. A luxury King Air Mattress is also available (sleeps 2) with extra sheets, pillows and bedding.
The living space features two comfy couches, a 100-year-old vintage coffee table, a 55-inch smart TV to stream your favorite shows, a two-seater breakfast table to enjoy your morning coffee as you take in the ocean views, as well as a Pacman machine to game with friends!
In the dining room, you'll find a 6-person table perfect for enjoying meals, whether they're home-cooked or takeout from local hotspots. Our coffee bar cart is equipped with a drip coffee machine, Keurig, assorted sugars, ground coffee, and mugs. If you’re in the mood for a home-cooked meal, our kitchen comes complete with an 8-person dinnerware set with cups, bowls, and plates as well as pots, skillets, sauté pans, baking sheets, cooking utensils, strainer, measuring cups and spoons, can opener, wine opener, stemless and stemmed wine glasses, cutting boards, oven mitts, a blender, and more.
Step outside to our inviting patio oasis. The table for four is perfect for outdoor dining or evening chats. For those looking to truly relax, there are two wooden lounge chairs paired with a convenient shared side table, ideal for resting a drink or book. As dusk settles, the string patio lights enhance the ambiance. Gather around the fire pit for added warmth and shared stories. Or if you just finished preparing a meal, the patio's direct access from the kitchen invites you to dine alfresco. Located conveniently next to the garage, this outdoor hang out spot also seamlessly connects to the front yard driveway and street, making comings and goings effortless.
Your comfort is our priority. We've prepared the space with fresh linens, fluffy towels, and a selection of toiletries, including shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. For your convenience, the home also comes equipped with essential cleaning supplies and a welcoming starter kit of toilet paper and paper towels. Should you need to freshen up any clothing during your stay, a full-size washer and dryer are available for use in the garage laundry room.
If you want to explore, just two houses away, you will reach the popular Highland Avenue which features a downtown area filled with dozens of boutiques, restaurants, cafes, coffee shops, bars, pubs, salons, markets and more. Or, if you want to hit the beach, we provide 4 beach chairs, beach towels, a beach umbrella, a rolling cooler and beach cart on wheels to pack up the necessities and set up for a perfect beach day. In just 5 minutes, you can be on the sand with a seat and a cooler of snacks/drinks.
