Five Minutes Barefoot to the Sand

1 bedroom in Santa Monica

Inside is a compact contemporary one-bedroom for two: a queen bed, a kitchenette for coffee and easy meals, fast wifi, a smart TV and a proper desk. Outside is Santa Monica State Beach, with the Pier and Main Street's restaurants an easy walk the other way. Elevator building, laundry on site, self check-in whenever you land.

The space

A one-bedroom apartment built for two and sized for a beach trip rather than a long domestic stay.

The bedroom has a queen bed with comfortable bedding. The kitchenette covers morning coffee, breakfast and simple meals — mini fridge, microwave and the basics — rather than full dinners, which is rarely why anyone comes to this block.

There's fast wifi, a smart TV, a dedicated workspace, an elevator, laundry on site, and an outdoor space to sit out in the sea air.

The entire apartment is yours. No shared rooms, no host on site.

The building has an elevator and laundry, and Santa Monica State Beach is a two-minute walk from the door — close enough that you'll end up walking everywhere.

Check-in is self check-in from 4PM. Step-by-step instructions reach you before you travel, so you can arrive, drop your bags and be on the sand inside ten minutes.

I'm Sam. Seven years of hosting, and the thing guests mention most in reviews is how fast I answer — so that's what I'll promise you.

Before you arrive, everything lands in one message: directions, how to get in, where the laundry is, and the places I actually eat around here.

After that I'm a message away and normally reply inside the hour.

The rest of the time, the apartment is completely yours.

House rules

• We keep this place spotless and calm for every guest, and these few rules are how that happens.
• WHO STAYS
• Only the guests on the booking may stay — 2 maximum.
• No visitors, day guests or extra arrivals without our written approval first.
• NOISE & EVENTS
• No parties, gatherings or events of any kind.
• Quiet hours 10PM–8AM. This is a residential building with neighbours on every side.
• INSIDE THE APARTMENT
• Strictly no smoking or vaping anywhere, windows and outdoor space included.
• No pets, whatever the size.
• Shoes off on carpeted areas.
• Please switch off the AC and lights whenever you head out.
• DELIVERIES
• Please don't have mail or packages sent to the address. A nearby locker or pickup point keeps everything running smoothly.
• ARRIVAL & DEPARTURE
• Check-in from 4PM, check-out by 11AM. Anything earlier or later only if we've confirmed it in advance.
• Before you leave: dishes washed, trash out, keys returned as instructed with a quick photo to confirm
• ONE LAST THING
• If something is broken, missing or just not right, message us straight away. We would far rather fix it while you're here than read about it afterwards, and we usually reply within the hour.
• Thanks for treating the place well. It's the reason the next guest walks into somewhere spotless too
