Click to book Wood & Water now: from £1650 per night A sensational property located directly on Manhattan Beach, this head-turning home is a designer's dream. The cutting-edge glass exterior contrasts nicely with the wood and stone elements inside, which serve to connect you to the natural beauty on show through the double-height floor-to-ceiling windows. The secluded bedrooms allow for a certain amount of privacy. However, it's worth noting that the third bedroom is accessed through a hatch in the ceiling of the second – which certainly makes the prospect of going to bed a lot more exciting for the kids. The communal areas are inviting and cosy and do everything possible to orientate you towards those incredible vistas. So grab a glass of wine and watch the waves roll in as the setting sun reflects off your sleek beach house. Sleeps up to 6 | 3 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms

Just three short blocks from the ocean in Manhattan Beach, its sophisticated beach-vibe styling is fresh and comfortable, and there are two balconies to take in the salty sea air. Exposed brickwork and mid-century modern furnishings set the tone in the open-plan living area and kitchen, and just out on the little balcony, there's a grill so you can cook outdoors on fine days. Follow the light up another flight of stairs to the master bedroom and you’ll discover the real heart of the home. A canvas of blue will hold your gaze as you stare out onto panoramic views of the ocean and coastline (hello Catalina Island).

The ballroom, which today is the main living space of the home, really is astounding, with 25ft ceilings and gorgeous arched windows, which look out onto the delightful garden.
