Sand Section Studio in Manhattan Beach, ½ Block to the Sand, South End, PARKING!

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.***
