Manchester Self Storage is a gem on the coast. Very reasonably priced, clean and secure storage locker near me. Management is easy to work with. Straight forward agreement and when it was time to vacate the rental unit, Michaela was prompt with email correspondence and refund of deposit.

Dry, good access but hard to get a spot. Various sizes and locking gate etc. Has some fab views too. Primarily easy access from Hwy 1.

I'm sure this storage has good rates, but I was there to install their new automated gates. The place has plenty of security and is very well kept and clean.

Been storing there off and on since they were built. How many years is that?
