Enjoy easy access to The Strand for walking or biking, along with nearby cafés, restaurants, and shops in downtown Manhattan Beach. Parks with basketball and tennis courts are also nearby, adding to the neighborhood’s active and relaxed beachside lifestyle.



The location is well positioned for exploring greater Los Angeles, with convenient access to LAX, SoFi Stadium, Intuit Dome, Downtown LA, and Long Beach.



For guests visiting during the FIFA World Cup 2026, the home provides a seamless balance of beachside living and accessibility to match venues.



Approximate distances (without traffic):

• Beach: steps away

• Downtown Manhattan Beach: ~0.4 miles

• SoFi Stadium: ~9 miles

• LAX Airport: ~5–6 miles



Getting Around:

Manhattan Beach is naturally walkable, and many guests enjoy exploring the area on foot or by bike. The beach, local cafés, and nearby restaurants are all within easy reach, making it simple to settle into the neighborhood.

For exploring beyond the immediate area, rideshare services are readily available and provide convenient access throughout the South Bay and greater Los Angeles.

During the FIFA World Cup 2026, rideshare is often the most seamless way to travel to and from SoFi Stadium, allowing you to enjoy match days without the added stress of parking.

Game Day Tip:

We recommend scheduling your rideshare in advance and allowing extra time before kickoff, as traffic and demand can increase around stadium events. Returning to Manhattan Beach after the match offers a more relaxed and private setting compared to staying near the stadium.
