A compact studio done right, this Hermosa Beach retreat sits steps from 16th Street, one of the neighbourhood's pedestrian-only streets, with the sand and The Strand a five-minute walk away. The balcony opens straight onto fresh coastal air – a good spot to linger over a drink after a day at the beach. Beach chairs, blankets, and sun protection are provided, making the short walk to the shore as easy as it gets. Manhattan Beach is an ten-minute drive for those wanting to explore further along the coast.

About Hermosa Beach
Hermosa Beach is a seaside city just south of Manhattan Beach. By day, it's filled with sunbathers, volleyball players, and surfers and by night has a vibrant bar scene just off The Strand, a walking/running/biking path that stretches along its coast. This laid-back community attracts young professionals and recent college grads – half its population is aged 18-44. As you'd expect of a happening beach town, there are lots of shopping and dining options. Be aware that it's a good hour-long drive to Central LA.
