Also, it is adjacent to the bike path so if you have bikes or rollerblades with you, it is less than 1 mile to get to Manhattan Beach to the South where there is a place to eat called the Surf Food Stand. To the North, it is just a short walk to the Dockweiler Youth Center and the bluff where Windsports provides Hang Gliding lessons. View of Grand Ave parking and Volleyball nets at El Segundo Beach The beach has some interesting rocks along the bike path and some nice waves coming in to enjoy.

Book Weekdays: Save up to 65% off when you book your vacation for weekend days. Monday, Tuesday or Wed. are up to 65% off! Then Thursdays and Sundays are the next least expensive. Book for a Week: Lengthen your stay to 5-7 days or a month you get bigger savings the longer you stay depending on the season. (Summer and holidays excluded.) Book In Advance: (At least 6-8 months to a year) and you get the standard rates vs. the seasonally adjusted rates. (Does not apply for the high seasons, i.e. summer/holidays.) Book Last Minute Available Dates for the Current Month: We sell out 25-31 days a month but sometimes we have a few days that month that do not sell, i.e. days after holidays or in between guests. These dates are up to 70% off. My calendar is up to date and live. Join Cancellation Deals List: We try to help guests get a refund by booking a last-minute cancellation. Just email me and I can notify you when I have a cancellation. Book Non-high Season. This is a tough one because San Diego/Los Angeles is a vacation destination all year. The less busy months tend to be non-holiday weeks, events, or graduation weeks of Oct., Jan., Feb., and May with great weather. Invite Your Friends and Family. Splitting the fixed rates by all guests you all enjoy super savings over hotels. Bottom line vacation homes verses hotels save you money on meals and drinks as you don't have to go out to eat three meals a day. And hotels charge more tax, parking, Internet, movies, etc. Just text or email and I can tell you the best days to book for the largest savings.

City Laws, we must agree to: · The homeowner must live on the property. · Eight (8) guests in total day and night. (Every guest must be on the reservation day and night for Airbnb insurance, insurance, the City, etc.) Other things to note Hola, Yes, we would love to host you for an earlier than a 4 pm check-in and/or later than 10 am checkout! We have big homes that entertain family and friends. Our team of 31+ housekeepers, handyman, and inspectors need from 10 am to 4 pm to: - clean every surface inside and out (by law) - wash all the linens, towels and dishes - repair, enhancements and remodel - landscape - clean and maintain the homes with a pool and hot tub - stage the furnishings and decor - stock the kitchen and bathrooms with guest supplies - inspect before and after every stay Thinking about getting in early (early check-in) or stay later (late checkout)? You won't regret it! We recommend you book the night before or after to have a super early check-in or check-out to enjoy another day on your vacation. Yes, we’d love to host you as early as 2 pm check-in and/or 10 am checkout by scheduling additional local housekeepers, handypersons and inspectors to wash and dry the laundry off-site to ensure my entertainer home is cleaned, repaired, landscaped, staged, inspected and ready for you and your guests.

The housekeepers need between 10 am - 2 pm to clean every surface inside and out to and prepare for your early check-in.

Yes, we'd love to host your late checkout (11:30 am) by scheduling additional local housekeepers, handyperson and inspectors and finishing laundry off-site to ensure my home is cleaned, repaired, landscaped, staged, inspected and ready for our next guests' friends and family. ($75+tax each) If you would like a SUPER EARLY CHECK-IN (prior to 2 pm) or SUPER LATE CHECK-OUT (after 11:30 am) we suggest booking the night before your check-in or the night of your check-out before another guest books.

Book soon to secure more time on your vacation! Cheers, Laura and The Co-host Team Hola Guests! Yes, we'd love to host and entertain your guests! We offer a discounted base rate so small groups of two (2) and under may enjoy our entertainer homes without paying for the maximum number of people. Rent is proportionate to the number of guests. Like hotels, rent for guests covers mandatory City occupancy tax, discounted rent, linens, towels, supplies, beds, utilities, maintenance, cleaning, breakage, wear, and tear, etc. The City and booking sites require one maximum guest count. Like hotels, since the setup, washing linens and cleaning are the same as if a guest stays a partial stay we need a maximum count of guests for your entire stay day and night. Hotels collect rent to host daytime guests with day fees, day pool passes, sell food and beverage, do not allow outside food or beverages, merchandise, and parking to help pay for the cost of day visitors. With our vacation homes save money by bringing your own food and beverages! :) The City is strict on occupancy day and night as they want to collect their mandatory occupancy tax, avoid noise and overcrowding. Your reservation guest count is the maximum number of guests allowed at the home at all times day and night. (The City will fine you $2500 per day for an inaccurate guest count.) The discount/rent is $25 per person per day and night over two (2) guests plus the mandatory city occupancy tax. Thanks for letting us know your accurate guest count. You may also increase your guest count at any time. Invite Your Friends and Family to Save More Per Person. My homes host, entertain and sleep, up to 8 guests. By splitting the fix rates by the maximum number of guests you all will save per person. Enjoy super savings per person especially over hotels who cannot accommodate larger numbers without paying for more rooms. Thank you for letting me know your guest count for both day and night has increased. I will adjust your reservation and let housekeeping know to set up additional bedding, linen, and supplies with payment. Cheers, Laura Yes, we love to host your pets and what them to enjoy the family and friends vacation too. My El Segundo Beach Entertainer home is ideal for pets as we have two separate yards.

There is a dog park nearby too in El Segundo Beach (walking distance). The daily rent is $25+tax per day and a $75+tax hypoallergenic cleaning so guests who are allergic to pets may enjoy the home too. We provide pet beds, bowls, and toys. Pet owners agree to not leave out dog food inside and outside and to clean the waste up immediately for sanitary reasons. My housekeeper will charge you $5 per pile fee to clean up after your dog. I also can provide doggie (and baby) sitting for approximately $50 per day. We’d love to host the entire family. Enjoy! Yes, we would love to host and entertain you and your pets! We want you to enjoy your best friend on your vacation! Peace of mind and they don’t have to stay in a kennel.

Thank you, Cheers, Laura Homeowner/Remodeler/Host Viva Beach Life! Here is the link to ALL our entertainer COASTAL homes. https://www.airbnb d0t com/users/2503251/listings, HOUSE RULES SHARING: -Clean up after yourselves It is not fair on your fellow house mates to go and use the communal areas and then just leave them in an untidy and dirty condition. You should leave all communal areas in the same or better condition than what you found them. The communal arras are there for everyone to use and it does not take much to tidy up after yourself and then leave it looking good for your other house mates when they want to use that space as well. That also applies to washing up – don’t just leave your things on the side and expect someone to do your washing up for you. Do it as you go along and others will do the same for you. -Personal belongings in the communal areas Leaving your own personal belongings in the communal areas can cause plenty of arguments! If something is important to you, make sure you leave it in your room. Simply using the communal areas as extra storage space for your own stuff will just cause arguments and make the house look untidy. When things are left out in communal areas they can get lost or thrown away quite easily if no one is sure who it belongs to so to ensure a happy home please do not leave personal belongings in the communal areas. -Contribute to the house and get to know your fellow house mates Renting a room in a property does not mean that you can just ignore your contribution to the general running of the house. There are some very basic tasks that you can do to ensure the house runs smoothly like putting the rubbish out on collection day, doing the recycling, stocking up with things like washing up liquid etc. If everyone puts a little bit into the general running of the house it can make it a real enjoyable place to live. Getting to know your other housemates will also ensure that you understand a bit about them as people (as we are all different) and find out what is important to them and you can find and make some great friends when you rent a room in a shared house. Thank you for your understanding!
