Oceanfront Manhattan Beach home directly on the Strand

About this home

The north half of an oceanfront duplex, directly on the Strand, with nothing between it and the sand. The primary bedroom is on the top floor and opens to a balcony over the water: coffee there, with Manhattan Beach waking up below, is the point of the house. Two balconies take in the coast from Palos Verdes to Malibu. Dolphins and surfers pass in front.

Let's be honest

Home quirks we want you to know about before you book.

  1. The house immediately to the north is being rebuilt. Expect trucks and noise on weekdays and Saturdays. Sundays are quiet.
  2. The patio, cabana and fire pit out front are shared with the other unit, and the lawn sits beside the public path. Think of it as a hotel lobby, not a private yard.
  3. The third sleeping spot is a single sleeper chair downstairs, not a pull-out bed.
  4. The interiors mix old and new. Two recent guests called them a little dated.

Questions guests ask

Is this an instant booking?

No. Bookings on the Open Air Homes direct site are request to book. We review each request within 24 hours and approve or decline it. Your card is held, not charged, until we approve.

Why is there an occupancy tax on my total?

Transient occupancy tax is a city tax on short stays. We collect it with your booking and pay it to the city. The exact rate for this home is in your price breakdown.

What is the cancellation policy?

You may cancel without penalty for 24 hours after your reservation is confirmed, if you booked at least 72 hours before check-in. We refund in full, including all fees, within 30 days. Stays under 28 nights (Moderate): Full refund until 30 days before check-in. 50% refund until 14 days before check-in. No refund after that. Stays of 28 nights or more (Long-term): Full refund until 30 days before check-in. Inside 30 days, the first 30 nights are owed. After check-in, the nights stayed plus 30 more nights are owed, or the rest of the stay if that is fewer. Refunds are a share of the stay price for the nights refunded, plus the matching occupancy tax.

Can I stay 30 nights or more?

Often yes, depending on the calendar. Stays of 31 nights or more sign a California Association of Realtors (CAR) rental agreement before check-in. Monthly stays start at 30 nights. Occupancy tax ends at 31 nights in Los Angeles and 29 in Palm Springs. Send a request for your dates and we will confirm.

How is booking direct different from booking on Airbnb?

Booking direct removes the guest service fee the big platforms charge, and gives you a direct line to our team. It is the same home and the same standards.

Who manages this home?

Open Air Homes manages it: guest communication, cleaning, maintenance and support during your stay. Open Air Homes, Inc. is a licensed California real estate brokerage, DRE #02164159.
