"Hotel 508" a Short Walk to Historic Venice Beach

Year Purchased: 1973

Why the Owner Chose Venice Beach

When I first moved to Southern California in 1969 to open a restaurant with my bother Peter I rented an apartment in the Venice Canals. Two years later when the landlord raise my rent to what I thought was an amount that might cover a mortgage payment I went house hunting. Venice was an almost slum back in those days and prices were cheep. Venice is now one of the hippest neighbor hoods in LA.

The Unique Benefits at this Apartment

We live here all the time and never go on vacation for a change of climate only for a change of scenery.

A
ABBOTT KINNEY BLVD

Great shops and restaurants

B
THE VENICE BOARDWALK

What is there to say, the second greatest tourist attraction in LA.

C
THE VENICE CANALS

A great walk with lots of neat modern houses plus some old bungalows.

D
WHOLE FOODS

Wonderful up scale market

E
CAFE del REY in MARINA del REY

The restaurant we still own part of.

F
ROSS DRESS FOR LESS

Where decent clothes go to die. An extra 10% off on Tuesdays for those over 55. LIKE brand golf shirts for $10. Met a lady there once who only shops here and on Rodeo Drive. LOVE THE PLACE.

Owner's Map of Venice Beach

We are your hosts. Sandy Toshiyuki and the husband Frank Soracco. Frank has lived in Venice since 1969 and I have lived here since we married in 1979. We worked at a restaurant we owned in Marina del Rey for many years. We gave up day to day management recently but we still keep our hand in a bit. However we can still make a great Martini. Our Vacation rental is a Father in Law unit, in our house, where my dad lived for 8 years until he died in 2004. After he died Frank remodeled the unit as a guest room for friends an relatives. When so few came to visit and Frank couldn't stand having an idle asset so when friends told him about VRBO, he joined up. Having HOTEL 508 next door has been a great joy for us as we have met many wonderful people from all over the world and we look forward to meeting many more.
