Amazing home and location! Perfect for our family. Would absolutely book again!
Great place, location, and experience! Thank you.
The house was amazing. Great location just a couple of blocks up from the beach and true ocean views from the main living space (not stretching your neck just to see a sliver of ocean). And just a block from coffee shops, restaurants, etc. And the house itself was top of the line - designer furniture, designer fixtures, etc. Will definitely be back.

We had an excellent experience. The host was available and welcoming, and the home was beautiful, clean and well-appointed.
The home was exactly as advertised. Great location, very clean and communications were easy . I would definitely stay here again.
We stayed at The Blue Wave for our son's graduation from LMU. We had 5 people in the 3BR/ 4BA house, and it was perfect for our group. This was our first time to stay in Manhattan Beach, and we loved it. The town is so cute and walkable with the boardwalk/ bike path right down the street. And the restaurants were amazing! The ocean-view balconies were great places for coffee in the mornings. And the neighborhood was relatively quiet. There was some construction in the area, but it was tolerable. It was a little further drive to LMU than where we usually stay in MDR, but the tradeoff of the town, restaurants and proximity to a great beach made it totally worth it. Claire and Daniel did a great job of communicating all of the instructions for the house. We would love to stay here again!
Great location close to downtown Manhattan Beach. Communication with the host was very good. Only issue was the construction across the street, quite loud and busy during weekdays. Otherwise lovely stay!
We have visited this property on multiple occasions. It is always a great place to stay. It is our first choice when staying in Southern California on an extended stay. Thanks again for a great visit!
We were so happy with our stay. The house is actually bigger than it appears in pics space wise. There's living room space on all 3 floors. We loved that the entire wall opens on the 3rd floor to the family room. The sunshine and fresh air filled the space, it was absolutely refreshing. The space is so clean and open which makes it very inviting to settle into. The concierge hosts are very responsive and make the check in and out super easy. We will definitely be back. Worth all 5 stars!
We had a very comfortable stay and loved being able to walk to restaurants, shopping and the beach! The house was clean and our host was very responsive and helpful.
