Map & Owner's Profile
"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 Bedroom Suite
We live here all the time and never go on vacation for a change of climate only for a change of scenery.
What is there to say, the second greatest tourist attraction in LA.
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.

To Frank & Sandy thanks for the lovely accommodations. Such a slice of life in Venice Beach! We enjoyed having our own little getaway, so close to our son. The mattress was so comfortable, I considered strapping it to my back & hauling it home. The Champagne & Chocolates were thoughtful. Sayonara, Michele & Greg Johnson

The fair weather and sandy beaches were as expected, but the hospitality and the fascinating stories were very pleasant, and beyond what we had reason to expect. Thanks, Kent & Cindy
