Studio 2 blocks to Beach w/ Parking - Close to LAX

The El Porto studio is located on Highland Ave just two short blocks up from El Porto beach in north Manhattan, one of the best surfing beaches in the South Bay. From the studio, you can walk to the ocean, restaurants, bars, local entertainment and the Strand. It is perfect for couples, solo adventurers, and business travelers. You will love staying here because of the vibrant neighborhood, proximity to the beach and easy access to LAX. Business License #34529

This quaint studio will be your new home away from home. It features a pull down Murphy bed, comfortable sofa, 50" smart TV and original design elements from the 1930s. Two bicycles and two beach chairs are available for use in the garage. Free parking is available 24/7 in the brick alcove directly in front of the studio. The location is very convenient for overnight guests who want to stay at the beach yet need quick access to LAX. Please note that it is located on a busy street, so there is some ambient traffic noise. A 14% transient occupancy tax is payable to the City and is listed as a separate line item.

Perfect location
We were able to either walk or ride the bikes provided to where we needed to go in the South Bay. Owner was very responsive and the place is perfect for two. Small but clean and we appreciated the items left for us in the fridge so we didn't have to shop right away. would love to stay here again!

Little Gem in Manhattan Beach
We absolutely loved our stay at this 1930's-style bungalow just two short blocks from the beach. It is perfect for a couple (or individual) wanting close access to the Strand. The owner has taken great care to provide everything you could want for a beach getaway! Bicycles, boogie board, beach towels. We had a late arrival and we were delighted to find the little kitchen already stocked with everything we needed for breakfast. There were adult beverages we enjoyed the next day after a long bike ride along the beach. The view of the ocean from the front window provided us a show of stunning sunsets, and there is a surfboard rack over the murphy bed! With a mini-mart right across the street and restaurants within walking distance, we hardly needed our rental car. The owner was very helpful and accommodating; making sure we had everything we needed. The amenities packed into this tiny rental make it a wonderful getaway, and we hope to return for a longer visit next time.
