If you're staying anywhere else, youâre doing it wrong. Waves crashing under your feet. Breeze for days. Everything you need in a kitchen. Saw dolphins, seals and even whales from the deck. Beautifully appointed - a perfect little nest for our family to unwind. Thank you for such a memorable stay.
My husband and I rented this property for two weeks so that we could be nearby for the birth of our granddaughter. I had asked before booking if the noise from PCH was a problem for sleeping, and owner replied that construction was over and should not be a problem. Not true. All night long, loud cars zipping by waking us out of sleep. Construction was loud during the day and the traffic was dangerous leaving the designated parking spot. We left early each morning and returned home typically around 8:15pm. Half of the time there was nowhere for our vehicle to park upon our return. The fire hydrant also made it difficult to park. The view was absolutely beautiful! Thatâs the nicest thing I can say. The sound of the waves were intense, which I liked. I did not like the way the house shuttered when the waves beat under the house. The house is old and definitely typical of properties in the area, but still for the price point, I think it should be better maintained. The patio sliding doors are impossible to open without putting your whole strength into them. The oven was broken and looking back on other reviews, other guests have complained about these same issues. Iâm not sure why these things are not being addressed. Maybe itâs a permitting issue after the fires? Speaking of fires, Malibu is depressing right now. Burned homes totally turned into rubble. So sad, and I will continue to visit and support Malibu because it is a special place for sure.
Overall, we expected more from this stay. Upon arrival, we were unable to open the front door and attempted to contact the host through the Vrbo app and the phone number provided. Unfortunately, we did not receive a response for over an hour. We later discovered that the door sticks significantly and requires quite a bit of force to open, which would have been helpful to know in advance.In addition, the general cleanliness and maintenance of the home felt below expectations. There were noticeable spider webs, chipping and peeling paint, rust, warped doors and cabinets, and the exterior appeared quite worn down.The location, view and shared living space decor are excellent and truly the highlight of the property. However, we were disappointed to learn that there is currently no direct beach access from the property, as the stairway has been washed away and access is boarded up. With improved communication and some much-needed maintenance and upkeep, this property could better reflect its prime location.
Unfortunately there were a few issues with the property people should be aware of given the higher price to rent. 1) the oven is broken. Their replacement was a toaster oven, which isnât suitable for cooking for a family of 4. This was not disclosed. There also arenât many plates and utensils so bring your own if youâre going to eat a couple of meals here. 2) itâs located on PCH near the fire cleanup (also not disclosed) so thereâs significant construction happening all day AND all night. Because the windows are paper thin we werenât able to sleep in the bedrooms due to construction that was ongoing from 8pm -3am each day. 3) parking thatâs available is also on PCH, which is fine but not ideal. The rental company gave us 200 bucks back for the noise but for the high cost you pay to rent here, others should be aware and rent with caution as Iâd expect construction to continue a few more months. The view was pretty!
Rental was clean and clutter free and the pictures are very accurate. The only issues are the sliding doors are difficult to open and some we couldnât get open as the door tracks need some maintenance. The bedrooms tend to be noisy from traffic noise as the highway is close to the home. The ocean view was very nice as you can see sunrise and sunset. Overall a nice place to stay
This place was amazing! My husband and I stayed here to celebrate our anniversary we arrived after sundown and thought it was gorgeous but the next morning waking up to the view was breathtaking almost hard to leave - like being in heaven. The place was clean, great location in Malibu ocean front and communication with the staff was simple easy and quick. Highly recommend this unit - I hope you return next year! Sara
The property itself was great - really beautiful stay and view. The towels were not cleaned however: one had hair on it from someone shaving and the other one had an orange substance which we are not sure what it was.
Our stay was BEAUTIFUL. The views are gorgeous and we fell asleep and woke up to ocean sounds daily. The place was clean and comfortable and it was nice to be able to have a bathroom per bedroom. A couple things to add: itâd be nice to have been able to open just a screen door to the balcony instead of all or nothing. We loved the breeze but didnât want seagulls or bugs flying in. Also, while we knew we wouldnât have direct access to a beach from the stay, we were hoping to walk to nearby entrances as Google maps hinted was possible, but that was not an option due to storm damage and construction, which was a bummer. Overall though, we had an amazing time and loved hanging out on the balcony with the waves!
SUch a beautiful view greet you as you walk in - all you see and hear is ocean. Very comfortable - you have many places to sit and relax. Lots of room and a great kitchen area. It's easy to be relaxed when all you hear is the ocean. I loved that the bedroom as AC, because it got a little hot in the summer but it was very comfortable to sleep. The hosts answered any questions and requests quickly, which was appreciated.
