We are a membership-based co-living "club". It's important that we be selective to ensure that our members benefit from their shared experiences.
In short, in addition to standard requirements and guidelines for residential leases, it's important that anyone who wants to stay with us at Surfbreak pass a "vibe check" for compatibility with our culture. This way, both the applicant and the other members are better assured of a great experience.
Accordingly, it is not possible to simply "book a room" at Surfbreak.
Instead, anyone wishing to join our community must apply and be accepted. This process is entirely free, and once accepted, you will be provided a list of available rooms and current rental prices.
Steps:
If invited (usually within 24 hours of application), participate in a phone conversation with Surfbreak so we can get to know each other, and you can have any questions answered
Select a room, sign a lease, and pay your refundable security deposit (all must be within 30 days of the start of your desired stay)

Adventure, networking, growth, and connection.
We know you work hard toward your success story, and Surfbreak provides you the tools and spaces you need to feel your most inspired and get work done both independently and collaboratively. More than just a coliving space with private bedrooms, we're a community of dynamic, motivated, and talented creatives who seek experience and success through collaboration and travel.
This philosophy is woven into everything we do, which means we invest in our space and in you. From the moment you set foot in our spaces, you'll be introduced to a community of other success-driven adventurers to explore and collaborate with.
At Surfbreak, you show up with a suitcase and a device, and you receive an instant community. We take our selection process seriously to attract the perfect community of warm, fun, successful people who vibe with each other and will benefit from the diversity of our events, workshops, and volunteer experiences. Our resident members form meaningful connections quickly with their fellow location-independent adventurers.

We're a community of dynamic, motivated, and talented creatives who seek experience and success through travel. We dive into self-growth through innovation, collaboration, friendship, lifestyle, and service. At the same time we celebrate individuality, being selected as a member of Surfbreak's ohana includes the social benefits and responsibilities that embody aloha.​
Our residential membership is a mixture of ambitious self-starters and friendly, open-minded creatives. We welcome fun, talented people to come through our doors to build their dreams and build connections. Many of our members have worked remotely before, while others are just beginning to discover the benefits and joy of working remotely. Some are employed by big companies in the tech industry, etc., while others are their own boss. The diversity of our members and their productive focus helps to make Surfbreak a dynamic community. You can meet a life-long friend, or maybe even a future business partner.
Because we're a coliving space, living at Surfbreak means sharing your environment with other people. While we strongly comply with all antidiscrimination laws, most resident members at Surfbreak are between the ages of 25 and 40, live without a partner, are self-sufficient with ample incomes, and enjoy the Surfbreak lifestyle by splitting their time between their private bedrooms and the shared common spaces.
Activities at Surfbreak are, of course, optional, but most weeks the resident members self-organize in-house dinners, nights out at restaurants and bars, hikes, beach days, freedives, and group date events. We select applicants who we think will become active members of this community and will both enjoy their own experience and help other members become the best versions of themselves they can be.

You can apply for membership on our website at any time for any stay, with rooms reservable for stays immediately to a year in advance dependant on availability.
If your application looks like a good initial fit for one of our membership cohorts, we'll get back to you within a few business days to set up a call to answer any questions and learn more about each other. This helps us to foster a great community of friends in order to ensure your experience at Surfbreak is as positive as possible.
Note: Only people accepted as residential members of Surfbreak are eligible to rent bedrooms in our co-living space. Your acceptance as a residential member is good for six months, at any point during which time you may make a room reservation subject to availability.
At the present time, move-in dates are flexible, and if there is room availability, residential members can move in on any day of a month to begin their lease.

Surfbreak is a coliving and working space, not a hostel—which means:
✔ Curated community: We accept members via application to ensure like-minded people live together. ✔ Less transient: Most people stay for at least a month, not just a few nights. ✔ Work-friendly environment: Quiet spaces, high-speed internet, and a professional atmosphere. ✔ Private rooms, shared common spaces: A balance of privacy and connection.
It’s not a party hostel—it’s a place to surf, work, connect, and live well.
