Vacation
AMAZING two days!!! Simply can't say enough how beautiful this was! The accommodations are cute & comfortable, all we could need in the kitchen etc, comfy bed. But.....the star of the show is that view! Just to sit & listen to the waves, watch the changing light on the water through the day, spot the sea life. We saw dolphins once & sea lions swimming by a couple times, fun to watch a variety of birds fishing. SO serene & relaxing!! Great location too if you want to explore the Malibu coast! Thank you for a perfect stay!

Cannot beat this ocean view
We had an amazing two nights at this beautiful oceanfront property. Easy to access, parking is not a problem, and we loved the balcony over the water. Well appointed and comfortable. The owner was very responsive and even offered us an early check in and late check out, which we appreciated!! Will definitely revisit!

Beautiful views
My daughter and I enjoyed our stay. Never visited Malibu before and it didn’t disappoint. The views are spectacular. The host was very quick to respond to any questions or concerns I may have had during our stay. The only negative was try to make a left turn from the driveway onto the PCH. It’s a blind curve and cars are flying by.

If you were any more on the water you’d be in a boat
My wife and I had a wonderful two night stay here. Although you’re in a condo, the balcony has a very private feel. We booked this last minute and Jo was very responsive with getting us booked and checked in.

Superb
Excellent location with a beautiful view listening to the waves through the night will definitely recommend other people and will be back in the future. If I could give it more than a 5 star I would. Took seconds to access what I consider a very private beach area.

The Perfect Beach House
My husband and I loved this Malibu beach house. We listened to the waves all night, direct access to the beach if you swim or surf. The home was lovely and was so very calm and quiet, truly would recommend to anyone. I won’t stay anywhere else when I go to Malibu!

The feel of the sand, the sound of the surf
Balcony is 20 feet above the sand with the surf crashing under you. The beach caters to those wanting to walk. It is picturesque with large rocks precluding riding waves and the like. Relaxing and private with dolphins visible in the ocean every morning. A great place to take a breather from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Truly an oceanfront sanctuary
My husband and I loved this property! Sound of waves crashing, birds and even a sea lion who bobbed in the waves off the patio made for a perfect stay. We loved the big south-facing covered patio to relax rain or shine and the sunset. Many eateries nearby.

One of the dirtiest places
The sofa had stains all over it and was covered with fabric. The pillows were stained. The apartment smelled and had a humidity problem. The towels were so old as were the furniture n plates. We couldn’t get any help from the staff. We deserve a refund with the price we paid.

Perfect anniversary getaway
We had the perfect anniversary weekend here in Malibu. It was so nice to spend time out on the balcony hearing the waves all day long and watching the dolphins swim by. We ordered take out and read books and really recharged! A neighboring unit was doing some construction that weekend, but the property manager responded to us very quickly and helped resolve any issues we had. We can't wait to go back! Thank you so much!

Excellent Beachfront Property
I opted for this property for a quiet retreat at the end of a busy visit to the Los Angeles area, but there’s plenty of activity nearby for those looking to get out and about. High tide brings the water right up to the condo, so the balcony is definitely the place to be, but beach time will need to be planned around low tide. The property was clean and well-furnished as advertised, and check-in/check-out was simple. The host was quick to communicate any time I had a question. PCH is busy, but if you know that area, you know that’s to be expected. Overall, I had a wonderful experience with my stay!

Adorable Malibu Hideaway
Perfect little getaway, moments from everything Malibu has to offer. My wife and I were very comfortable while we listened to the waves crashing right out on the deck. We needed some down time before our daughters wedding, and this little gem fit the bill. Joanne and others made it easy and seamless. Tina and Doug Ventura

Great Spot on the Water.
My husband, daughter, and myself enjoyed our time. The location is spectacular. It’s a no frills place, but is nice, clean, and affordable. There are no fans so if you are a hot sleeper like me you may want to bring one. The condo is right off of PCH which is busy and noisy. I used ear plugs and didn’t have a hard time sleeping. You can’t hear the highway noise in the main living area. Overall we really enjoyed our stay.

Fantastic ocean view
The unit is perched on a low cliff with the waves washing up under the deck providing a full immersive experience. Though older, the unit is well maintained, clean and comfortable. The only negative is the difficulty parking from or leaving onto PCH.
