Zen Coastal Retreat 3BR | Sauna & Cold Plunge

Summary:
Welcome to your Manhattan Beach escape, hosted by Xenia Stays.
This eclectic 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home sits just one block from the beach and The Strand and it's unlike anything else in the neighborhood. Original artwork, high-end finishes, and a private sauna and cold plunge make this a home with real character. Elevated, soulful, and steps from the water

The Space:
Your home for this stay is one that genuinely stops you in your tracks.
Every room has been curated with an artist's eye, bold color, global artwork, and furnishings that feel collected over a lifetime rather than ordered from a catalog. The living and dining areas flow together in a wash of sky blue, green velvet, and warm hardwood floors, anchored by striking original artwork and a sculptural lighting piece that ties it all together. It's lively and comfortable in equal measure — the kind of space that sparks good conversation.
When the day calls for something quieter, step up to your private rooftop deck. The views stretch out to the Pacific, and at golden hour the sky does things you'll want to photograph. A mosaic tile table, ambient lighting, and the sound of the ocean below — there's nowhere better to end an evening in Manhattan Beach.

BEDROOM & BATHROOM
Each bedroom in this home has its own distinct personality and all of them are genuinely memorable.
The standout is a deeply atmospheric retreat with rich crimson walls, a bamboo ceiling, and a large hand-painted Tibetan thangka as the centerpiece. A patterned blue rug, leopard print armchair, and warm lamp lighting complete a room that feels more like a boutique hotel suite than a vacation rental bedroom. Every detail has been considered.

You'll receive clear check-in instructions ahead of your arrival once all pre-arrival steps are completed. Please note that certain areas may be secured for owner or operational use if applicable.

The Neighborhood:
The home sits in the North End of Manhattan Beach — one of the most peaceful and residential stretches of the entire city, and a favorite among locals who know what they're doing.
The Strand is at the end of your block. Walk it north toward El Porto, or south toward the pier and downtown. The beach access puts you directly on the sand in under a minute. For a cold beer and a laid-back afternoon after the beach, Shellback Tavern is a classic South Bay spot beloved by locals and visitors alike. When you want more — dinner, shopping, or the full downtown Manhattan Beach experience — it's a short drive or a beautiful walk down The Strand.
