About this property

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.

*****Covid-19: Through the years, I have always made sure that our unit is thoroughly sanitized between guests, it has always been of the utmost importance to me. Our unit is sanitized with the highest quality cleaning products, I personally ensure that it has been cleaned to the level that I myself would expect and feel secure with if I were renting this property.*****

Wonderful Home with an Amazing Ocean View

Wonderful spot! Comfortable with decor that makes it feel like home. Highly recommend!! Bed= Comfortable Kitchenette= Great! Has microwave, mini-fridge, coffee maker, sink, and a nice counter. Perfect for warming up soup, which I did! Bathroom= spacious. Love the shower! Beach= Ah!!! Right there! There is use of a patio space that overlooks the ocean. The ocean is across a small street and down a small hill. Lots of people out walking, running, biking, surfing, playing volleyball, and enjoying life! Safety: located in a beautiful residential area, I felt completely safe traveling alone. Restaurants + shops= close by I didn't get a chance to enjoy the bikes, but they are available for guests to use. Highly recommend this amazing spot in Manhattan Beach!!!

Excellent location

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.

Perfect Stay by the Strand

It felt like it is was our own little bungalow by the beach! If you enjoy being by the ocean, walking to cute coffee/breakfast bars in the morning and biking on the strand then this is THE place to stay! Total surfer vibe throughout the place! Phil and Mica are great hosts to work with and very responsive if any needs come up! Would stay here every time!!!

Surf room stay

We were impressed with the owner and his courteous responses to our questions and concerns. We were under the impression that the living space would have a view from our room but it’s down in the basement with very little light. It was nicely decorated and very clean. As a nice gesture they could have had coffee available since there was a coffee pot. If you just want to sleep and don’t mind on the darker side it’s a great place and nice owners.

About the host

Hosted by Phil Linsley

We have lived in Manhattan Beach for 45 years and raised our four children here. In May 2015, we completed the construction of our dream home. With a large and growing family of beach lovers, it's the perfect house. We live on the property and are available to answer questions or offer suggestions. We have furnished the apartment in a comfortable beach oriented decor. We will also supply our visitors with everything needed for the perfect vacation at the beach. Our unit is ideal to experience beach life at it's best. We look forward to having you come and visit us.

Why they chose this property

We have moved three times within Manhattan Beach since first moving here in 1977, finally getting to where we wanted to be, just steps from the beach and the Pacific ocean. We built this house from the ground up, incorporating everything that we ever wanted in a beach home. Our property is located in the highly desirable south end of the Sand Section. It is in a residential area, so you will definitely experience "living like a local". Everything is within short walking and biking distances (both Manhattan and Hermosa beach cities).

What makes this property unique

Our rental may say "Studio", but it's much much more. We built it for our own four children and their families to use when they visit (as they all live out of state now), to have place to put their stuff, shower, and relax after a day in the sun and sand with their children. In other words, their own private space to relax and enjoy. The unit includes a large sitting area, bar with small refrigerator and microwave, large walk-in shower, lots of storage, Queen-size bed. Unlike most studios, you will sleep in a regular bed and still have a large sitting area to eat and relax in. You will also have access to a private outdoor area overlooking the beach to sit and sip your morning coffee or an afternoon glass of wine! Also, parking for one car is right outside the door!!!
