About this apartment rental

It may say STUDIO, but it's so much more.... We are located in the Coastal zone of Manhattan Beach. Short term rentals are welcome in our area. We welcome guests for stays of 3 days or more.

Welcome to The Surf Room! Come and live and play like a local in our coastal inspired guest apartment, in the highly desired Sand Section just steps from the famous white sand of Manhattan Beach, California. This large 700 square foot studio apartment has a private entrance, parking for one car, and everything that you need to experience beach life at it's best. It's walking distance to the Pier and the downtown area, the heart of the city (as well as Hermosa Beach) which is filled with casual to fine dining restaurants, boutique shops and retailers.

The Surf Room is conveniently located on one of Manhattan Beach's famed walkstreets, a short walk to the sand and bike path in the desirable south end.

The Surf Room is our large beach-oriented studio apartment. It has plenty of room for relaxing, as well as ample storage (hooks for hanging beach paraphernalia, towels and beach bags, cubbies for storage). It has a separate bathroom area with a walk in shower, a bar area for morning coffee and/or afternoon drinks and snacks, lots of seating for just hanging out. You will also have access to a private outdoor area with views of our lovely beach. And parking for one car right outside your door! Our family enjoys it, and we'd love to share it with you.

The unit is set up to accommodate two people. A maximum of 2 people are allowed to stay overnight in the Surf Room. Any adjustment to this must be OK'ed by us at time of booking.

Our unit is in a prime location, steps to the sand, walk to downtown Manhattan Beach with shops and restaurants, also a 20 minute walk or short bike ride to Hermosa Beach with it's restaurants and nightlife. *Please note that our home is located in a lovely residential neighborhood, so large groups, excessive noise, and late nights are discouraged. Absolutely no smoking or vaping (or use of any type of illegal drugs) allowed on the property, including on the patio.

*** I would like to clarify a few recent comments.  Everything that our description and pictures show is absolutely accurate.  We have not misrepresented anything.  We built this room as a convenient area for our family to come in after a day at the beach.  It is on street level, the first floor of our home, with easy access to the storage of beach equipment/bikes, etc. as well as parking for our guests.

The description says "Come and live and play like a local".  We have lived in Manhattan Beach for over 45 years in 3 different locations, and at this house for 10 years.  We've used the "open the doors and windows" method to get cool ocean breezes on warm days, as do most of our friends and neighbors.  On the occasion of warmer weather, we use fans to get a little more circulation.  We supply fans (and a heater if needed) to our guests.  We have not ever had to use AC.  The Surf Room, because of the location in the house, remains temperate throughout the year (67°-70°).  I will vouch for that, I am down there all the time!

Thank you for your consideration of our Surf Room.***

The property is gorgeous and the views are amazing!! Phil met us upon arrival and was extremely gracious and walked us through how to operate everything when we first checked in. My only issue was there was no AC and my wife and I could not get good sleep bc there’s no airflow bc only one window that opens an inch and no AC pretty much made sleeping impossible so we left a day early so we could get some rest but the property was beautiful and Phil was great.

GREAT location and beautiful, welcoming beachfront home!! Short downhill walk to the beach, short bike ride to Hermosa Beach, easy walk to downtown Manhattan Beach, and short Uber rides to Santa Monica Pier, SoFi Stadium, and LAX. Many reviews mention the lack of AC which concerned us at first, but we quickly realized that it wasn’t needed. With an open window/door and fan, the cool beach air kept the downstairs unit very comfortable during the day and evening (mid-June). We enjoyed coffee on the private patio each morning. Communication with Phil and Mica was very quick and easy and they were both very genuine and accommodating. All items needed for a day at the beach were provided (chairs, towels, umbrella, cooler, bikes, etc), which was very appreciated! The small kitchenette had all we needed to make a quick continental style breakfast and lunch. We will definitely be making a return visit to the Surf Room for another amazing Cali beach vacation in the near future.

We were in town for a wedding in Palos Verdes and to visit LA. The location was perfect for getting to the wedding, the airport, and anything else in the LA area. Manhattan Beach was better than we imagined with lots of activity, beautiful beaches, volleyball, surfing, and good dining. I got burned with a parking tiicket for the street cleaner, but that was my fault. We wished there were cooking facilities, but that was just a minor issue, overall.

Loved this little gem of a place. Same price or less than a hotel room and much much roomier. It was extremely clean and the owners were so personable and responsive. The neighborhood is perfect and quiet and the studio is a block from the beach. We’ll definitely be back in the future!

Phil and Mica were very accommodating. They didn’t hesitate to let our son stay and visit with us there for a couple of days. Place is very quaint and comfortable. Enjoyed relaxing on the patio area. Absolutely loved being able to walk to the beach every day.
