1818 The Strand # 1

Welcome to a truly special opportunity—this is the first time this home has ever been offered as a vacation rental, having been lovingly held in the same family for generations. Rich in charm and character, this beautifully maintained Spanish-style home blends timeless details with modern updates, all in one of the most prime locations along the Strand in Hermosa Beach. Inside, you’ll find original wood floors, a vaulted rounded ceiling, and a spacious living room with a second wood-burning fireplace, built-in bookcases, and a bay window with bench seating—along with **ocean views that bring in natural light and coastal beauty**. The updated kitchen, renovated two years ago, features modern appliances and a window overlooking the courtyard. This home is curated with a mix of antiques and new pieces, creating a space that is both elegant and exceptionally comfortable—perfect for relaxing and gathering. The home features three bedrooms, one full bath, one three-quarter bath, plus an additional shower—offering three separate showers for added convenience. A standout feature is the private interior courtyard—a peaceful retreat surrounded by the home with no neighboring windows facing in, offering exceptional privacy. Enjoy cozy evenings by the wood-burning fireplace or dine under the open sky. French doors from the dining room open directly to this space, blending indoor and outdoor living. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a generous layout, a dressing/sitting area with ample closets, and French doors opening to a **private deck spanning the width of the home with beautiful ocean views—perfect for morning coffee or breathtaking sunsets**. The en-suite bath connects in a Jack-and-Jill style to another bedroom. Additional bedrooms include one with two beds and a lower-level bedroom—perfect for guests, teens, or extended stays. The lower level also includes two additional showers, laundry, and a half bath. Step outside to your private oceanfront patio. Even more rare—directly in front of the home is a wide, unobstructed stretch of sand with no volleyball courts or equipment, offering a clean, open ocean view. A two-car garage and walkable access to dining, the Hermosa Pier, and local favorites like The Bottle Inn complete this exceptional offering. This is more than a vacation rental—it’s a rare coastal retreat filled with charm, comfort, ocean views, and unforgettable sunsets.
