Great place very close to the beach. I would say it’s a 5 minute walk to the beach/the Strand, but that doesn’t really describe just how close it is. I’ll say this instead: if you open the patio door, you’ll be able to hear the waves/the ocean. The moment you leave the building, you can already see the beach.
Also, I appreciate how close it is to Hermosa’s popular pier but at the same time far enough that you wouldn’t hear the crowds on the weekends. Lots of coffee shops and good food nearby. It’s also about a 15 minute walk from Redondo Beach pier, which itself has a distinct charm compared to Hermosa Pier (lots of churros stalls and seafood spots!).
Vons and Whole Foods are about 5-10 mins away by car, but there is a small grocery just a few blocks away.
Secured car park. Keyed entry to the building. Building has its own laundry room, and there’s also a clean laundromat nearby that’s never busy.
The walk to Manhattan Beach is a scenic one of about 2 miles.
The unit itself has a cozy feel to it. Spacious kitchen area with quality utensils for cooking. Comfy couch and bed. Place never got too warm nor too cold. Gets lots of natural light and it was nice being able to have breakfast on the patio with a small view of the water.
