One block to the beach, three houses from Bruce's, and fully equipped for everything from surfboards to wine bottles--this Manhattan Beach townhome is basically coastal living with a grin. This detached, freestanding rental ditches the power lines (utilities are underground) and brings the sunshine. A two-car garage with surf racks plus a converted third space/home office keeps both boards and Zoom calls happy. An outdoor surf shower waits for sandy feet, and three of the four bathrooms have been recently remodeled for when the ocean isn't the only place you want to rinse off. The kitchen is a gourmet playground: six-burner Viking stove with griddle, Viking dishwasher, built-in refrigerator, wine cooler, and an island that seats six--perfect for family, friends, or whoever shows up after volleyball at Marine Avenue. The gas fireplace in the living room adds cozy contrast to all that sea breeze, and multiple living areas (TV room, dining room, den, office, beach room) mean everyone gets their space without stepping on each other's sandy toes. Location nails it--surf and volleyball right out front, Junior Guards two blocks away, downtown and North Manhattan restaurants on either side, and Grand View Elementary within walking distance. From sunrise surf to sunset wine pours, this home nails the Manhattan Beach trifecta: style, comfort, and location. Rare rentals like this don't just come along--they get scooped up faster than a parking spot on a Saturday morning.
