Graduation Celebration
The house was nice, and quiet, close to the beach and had a nice hot tub/outdoor space. Only small downside, There were 8 of us and we only had 6 wash clothes. There were no spare bath towels. We contacted the owner and they didn't provide any additional. There were also no Kleenex in the house.

Wonderful stay at this amazing Malibu house
The house was beautiful and had everything we needed for a great stay. Location was terrific since it was so close to the beach. The host/manager were both wonderful and responded to any questions we had. Absolutely would stay at this house again in the future.

Great house and location in Malibu
The house was perfect for a friends gathering in Malibu. Katherine was very easy to communicate with and met us for check-in and did a very thorough tour of all of the grounds and features. The location is ideal and just a few blocks off the beach with amazing views from the upstairs deck area, which spans two full sides of the home. The area is safe, gated and there is plenty of space to move around. The outside area is the highlight with a beautifully landscaped and private backyard area with a huge bocce court, yoga room, hot tub, fire pit with seating area for at least 8, large table, patio heaters and lights and a grill. We loved that the driveway was big enough for several cars and behind an automatic gate. Beds were comfortable and all the normal household amenities were present. Sonos speakers throughout the inside and outside. Would highly recommend!

Beautiful Malibu location
We had a wonderful time at this Malibu rental, the house is very comfortable and location cannot be beat! A few minutes walk to Zuma beach and to market, along with restaurants and surf rentals. Our golden retriever Bear had a great vacation too!! Would love to come back!

Great location, exterior space, could use updating
My college friends and I stayed here for three nights. We've stayed at a number of rental properties over the years, so were excited for this one. Overall, this house was good, but there are a few things that would make it great. PROS: - The location is great. Easy walk to Zuma. Short drive to El Matador and other key locations in Western Malibu. - Walkable to Trancas Market, with Vintage Grocers (terrific upscale market) along with some cute shops and restaurants. - Beautiful views of the ocean from the upper balconies. Outdoor space is amazing, with two great seating areas - one around firepit and one on second floor balcony. Hot tub (which we didn't use), bocce, etc make for great ambiance. - Kitchen is big with high end appliances. We had a private chef come make us a meal and there was plenty of room. - Bathrooms have been updated nicely. Beds were comfy. CONS: - While the house is big (and sleeps 8), there's no comfortable place for a group to hang out inside. The weather wasn't great, so we were limited in our outdoor time. The couch in the living room was oddly small and uncomfortable and only sat 4, and there was no other seating in a very large room. Lack of rugs in that room made it very echo-y. - Interior and decor was a bit heavy and dated -- didn't really have that Malibu vibe. - Cookware and knives in kitchen were sub-par. We had a great weekend but would love some updates!

Hi Julie, Thank you for your review. You are right, our house is absolutely perfect for outdoor life with so many sitting areas on the upstairs terrace, by the firepit, jacuzzi area, outdoor dining area. The rainy weather did not allow you to enjoy fully all our amazing amenities. The 10 person dining room table could be a perfect solution for rainy days and the living room furniture set up for TV watching and playing pool.

Great property. Great location. Sunset views. Ample space.
Fantastic space! Sunset view from the upper deck. Pool table. Hot tub. Ping pong table. Bocce court. Ample space indoors and outdoors. Interior was well done and not dated. Beds were all great. Kitchen + grill has what you need to cook at home and great tables for dining together. Easy to get in and out and plenty of parking. Close to grocery and close enough for pizza delivery. A really solid property.

Relaxing stay in a beautiful home
We had the most relaxing and stress free time. The house was beautiful and a perfect location for us. Walking distance to beach. Close to great restaurants but also far enough away to feel like we got away from it all.

Peaceful Retreat
The house and grounds are beatiful and offer a lot of comfortable spaces for people to gather. Ping-pong, pool table and bocce court kept people entertained. Exceptional privacy and located a short walk from the beach and local food/shopping. Great spot to disconnect from the grind and reconnect with friends & family.

We had a great stay
All the amenities exceeded our expectations: pool table, ping pong table , piano, outdoor spa, fire pit, bocce court. We had learned how to play the bocce ball game. The ocean view from the upstairs bedrooms is amazing. I had some great use of the "casita" - the office room which is really separate from the house and gave me a chance to work in peace. Thank you for sharing your home, Katherine!
