Our 400-square-foot studio efficiency suite is perfect for traveling couples, friends and relatives, and parents with one child. It has it's own private entrance and outdoor sitting area and shares only one wall with the rest of the quiet household. There is ample private parking on our brick driveway. With its bay of mirrors, yoga mats, and free weights, you'll have ample space in which to stretch or work out, unless you prefer to try out the Pilates, personal trainer, or yoga studios a few blocks away. For the creatively inclined, we have an acoustic guitar, keyboard, and an artist's easel with brushes and paints available in the room, as well as plenty of books from which to choose while you sunbathe at the beach. Beach chairs, an umbrella, and beach towels are also available for your use. A complimentary bottle of wine and breakfast snacks are included to enhance your experience, though a full breakfast is not offered. We can accommodate a small, house-trained dog or cat. Please plan to pay an additional cleaning charge of $20 cash upon arrival for the entire stay if you will be traveling with a pet.
