We loved this house. As former MB residents, we were grateful to find a spot that felt like a home away from home in an absolutely killer location. The house was beautiful and perfectly appointed with everything we could ask for to feel at home, and then some (but never too much so as to feel we were intruding on someone else’s space). Such a treat to stay in a place with everything we needed, including a plethora of beach towels, robes, every possible kitchen amenity (a big plus for us would-be chefs!), device chargers, Bluetooth speakers and so much more. We will DEFINITELY be returning and cannot recommend this home enough to other potential guests.

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 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!

We had the best week in Manhattan Beach. Beautiful ocean views from most rooms of the house and easily walkable to the beach as well as into town. This is the perfect beach getaway.

We spent Thanksgiving week at The Blue Wave and the house was incredibly comfortable, inviting, beautiful & well equipped. The kitchen had all the necessary pot, pans, utensils & entertaining needs for a big family meal. The house had ample space for our family of 6. Extremely walkable to great shops & restaurants - the recommendations they sent along were A+. Loved being so close to the beach and the Strand to walk every day & soak up the sea air. Hosts were helpful & responsive when we had questions and made everything a breeze. Highly recommend!
