I searched and searched for the perfect beach getaway spot until I found Angela's place, and it could not have been better. The apartment is exactly as described, impeccably clean and beautifully decorated. Angela was there to meet me at check in and show me around the apartment, which was so nice and welcoming. She has everything you could need for the beach - towels, beach bag, umbrella, boogie board, sunscreen, hat, everything. There is noise from the street, but once I shut all the windows at night it was completely fine and I slept great. You can't beat the location: 2 blocks from the beach, with a spectacular view right out the living room window. The beach is down a fairly steep hill, but it's nothing too strenuous and trust me, it's worth it. Manhattan Beach is such a great place, quiet and gorgeous, away from the touristy areas. There are great restaurants within walking distance, and you are also a short drive away from LAX. I would absolutely stay here again when back in Manhattan Beach!
