My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights for part of our 10-year anniversary vacation. We loved Charlene's place! It was extremely clean when we arrived and she was so thoughtful to have a basket of snacks for us and the use of condiments and such from the fridge. Also--my husband was very happy to see a Keurig machine with provided K cups :) Her place is well-decorated and is very cozy--we felt very at-home while staying here. Charlene provided us with a 'Welcome' binder with any and all information we could use for things provided in her place as well as things to do and see, restaurants, etc., in the Manhattan Beach area. The walk to the beach is less than 5 minutes, and she even provided very nice Tommy Bahama beach chairs for us to use :) Charlene is an excellent host and was very quick in responding to messages. If we ever return to the Manhattan Beach area we would certainly like to stay here again!
