Hollywood glamour takes a beach holiday at this sleek 3-story home in the “sand section” of Manhattan Beach. Hotel-worthy details—lights on dimmers, a sound system, even a bathtub tray for your tablet—add a luxe feel, while beach equipment like stand-up paddleboards invites you to get out on the water. It’s steps to the beach and a 5-minute walk to shopping and dining downtown.

Watch sailboats on the bay from a sofa on the top-floor deck, then heat up the barbecue for lunch and dinner, and open a bottle of California wine to savor while you watch the sunset or linger outside around the firepit.

On sunny days, slide open the retractable wall to link the deck and the great room; on cooler evenings, close it and cozy up around the fireplace in a sitting area with chrome accents and an inviting sectional. The dining area seats 6, and the adjacent kitchen is fully equipped. Of the 3 bedrooms, 2 have their own private outdoor areas where you can start the day with a coffee or finish with a cocktail.

The villa is in the heart of Manhattan Beach’s so-called “sand section”—a neighborhood named for its prime location just steps from the boardwalk and the beach itself. Take the provided bicycles and paddleboards out for a spin, watch local surfers, or grab photos of the iconic pier. Walk 5 minutes to downtown to pick up produce from the farmers’ market or stop by a yoga class.
