Authentic & Renovated Cottage in a Beach Community

Have a barbecue and drinks around a fire pit in an outdoor space made cozy by wood paneling and decorative surfboards. The laid-back vibe continues inside the cottage with comfy and casual furnishings and fun, beach-themed decor. This beach house was built in 1925 and upgraded in 2015. This is a perfect vacation rental for families/couples. We are located one block from the beach, 1/2 mile south from Hermosa Beach Pier, 1 mile north from Redondo Beach Pier. The master bedroom has a queen bed and plenty of room for your belongings. The second bedroom has a queen bed with a slight ocean view. The third bedroom has bunk beds which we have now split to accommodate adults. There are two full bathrooms. One of the bathrooms is detached from the house located off the backyard. All linens and towels are supplied. The most attractive part of this house is the outside living. After a long day at the beach and you don't want to mosey down to Hermosa or Redondo Pier for dinner and drinks, this is the perfect place to BBQ and relax by the gas fire pit. We offer supplies for the beach such as: Beach bag with beach towels, sunscreen, beach chairs and umbrella. Bikes are available to explore the area and surrounding beach towns (Redondo and Manhattan). You can even ride up to Venice and Santa Monica along the bike path. We have a guest parking pass for street parking for one car (this will need to be returned at check out). NOTE: Parking pass is for parking at YELLOW poled meters ONLY! Guests are responsible to read all street signs for parking restrictions and street sweeping. Access to the entire house We like to meet all our guests at check-in to show them the ins and outs of the house and answer any questions. We live next door so are available for any questions or assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us. We can provide bicycles for access to the bike path along the beach ("The Strand"). We are in such a great location that all restaurants, bars, shopping and sites are in walking distance. We are located right around the corner from the public bus stop. Uber is a very popular way to get around if you do not rent a car. This is not a party rental so not a good fit for the party minded group! 6 people are the maximum number of guests.
