Really nice everything!

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!

Can't wait to visit again!

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.

Could not be happier with the accommodations or the owners. Five stars all around. Ron
