The Surfer's Paradise staff house.
The Staff Housing is where the young employees of Surfer's Paradise Ridgemount Resort stay over the summer. It is somewhat of a dump and is not that well kept. The porch has couches, and an old black-and-white TV set was initially in the common area. Two of positives of the staff house are that it's relatively close to the hotel and it has easy access to the beach (including The Office). Most of the known rooms there can have up to three people rooming in each of them.

Trivia
- It's very likely that Lo's dad, Mr. Ridgemount, doesn't know about the condition of the place--considering he's never been seen at the staff house in any episode of the series, and given how protective Mr. R is of his daughter (as well as the fact that Bummer's probably keeping his boss in the dark about certain aspects of the hotel, including the staff house), it's very likely that Bummer would lose his job if Mr. Ridgemount were to find out about the condition of the staff house (let alone actually letting his boss's daughter stay in such a horrible place).
- There are many surf boards around the front entrance that may belong to one or more surfers.
- There are Christmas lights seen around the front entrance and some that hang from the porch roof.
- Fin's room is 202. Emma's room was originally 203 (shared with Martha McCartney), but she later moved in with Fin after a skunk sprayed her room (caused by Martha, who then vacated the room).
- The staff house TVs, which are not hooked up to cable or satellite, have "rabbit ear" antennas to receive TV signals.
- The toilet has a habit of backing up (revealed in "Welcome to Paradise, Dudes!").
- The place was so messy that, until "A Boy Named Leslie", Broseph didn't know that the toilet had a seat.
- There is a picture of El Duderino in the main room above the couch.
- There is a mini bar in the main room.
- It is nicknamed the "Roach Motel" by Fin, so named because of the roaches she found in her room in "Welcome to Paradise, Dudes!".
- According to Johnny in "Browatch", the staff house was apparently the original hotel, but after the current hotel was built, it became the staff house.
