12) Parking:
There are three garage ports at the Malibu Sand property; however, only the second and third ports are for the guests staying at the Malibu Sand Suites.

You will receive one parking pass and you cannot park in any of the three spots without the parking pass. If you are not able to get a spot, then you will need to park either on PCH or in the overflow parking lot above the complex that has D’amores pizza and PC Greens.

The police will not hesitate to charge you +$500 for parking where you shouldn’t.

Cleanliness:
We take our cleaning seriously. You can trust that our homes are thoroughly deep cleaned between guest visits. All of our homes have white hotel-style linens, white towels, toiletries for our guests, and well stocked kitchens with high-end appliances. Amid COVID-19, our cleaning intensified: surfaces wiped with hot water and disinfectants. All towels and linens washed, regardless of appearance; many hotels don't. Door handles and high-touch spots get extra care. Staff wears masks, gloves, and shoe coverings. Our exceptional cleaning surpasses CDC standards.

This property contains an exterior camera at the front door which is motion sensored and is active during guests stay.

We are a professional vacation rental hospitality management company. We maintain high hospitality standards with an in-house team of designers, concierge, hosts, maintenance personnel, and stylists. We are ranked #1 in California and #4 in the country. Travel can be stressful, especially when you book without seeing the home beforehand. We eliminate that stress.

Lastly, by the end of your stay with us, if you feel our service provided to you has been nothing less than excellent, gratuity is always welcome. Just give it to whomever you deem fit!

Deceiving Listing
Overall, the room was clean & nice, Fridge was small. The greatest dissapointment was that there was NO balcony access or ocean view from the room. The ad made it look like there would be a common balcony for the guests. No, it was all boarded off. We had to go out of the room, down the stairs, accross the courtyard, through a coded gate, and down more stairs to the beach. We made the best of it though. False advertising for sure...

Not what was advertised
The pictures that were posted in the listing was showing beaches, ocean and sunsets. Our views were brick walls, a rusty Ladder and some grass and bushes. The apartment we were in was definitely not worth the hefty price we paid. We told the young women who took us to our room we request to switch to a different room with a view and she said she just works there,she would have to contact management. 10 minutes later she advised us there were no other rooms available. She showed us the door outside where we can get beach access. We checked it out and it’s a “wet beach” (no sand) and at the bottom of the stairs there were huge rocks that you would have to walk over to get to the ocean. We asked if there were beach chairs we could use and was told no. We seen lounge chairs next door to our building that were facing the ocean and asked if we could use those. The woman told us that is also there property but again she would have to check with management. Once again she got back to us and we were told we could not use them they were for the other property. We walked each of our four days there a half mile down on the main roadway to an access entrance to the beach with sand, so disappointing. I did receive an email name and address to converse with a manager. Our emails were useless and was told someone would call me tomorrow which never happened. There was a note to run the dishwasher before we leave, but we didn’t have one. Was this the wrong room they gave us? Not worth it!!

Facilities and Service Top Notch!
We loved the room and the beach access...though not great for sunbathing, we did enjoy the surf from the rocks, and the top of the steps. Our host even provided som really comfy beach chairs. This site is located in a really loud and crowded part of Malibu, which would probably be really exciting for young adults, not so much for someone wanting to get away from city life with a quiet day (or night) on the beach...so not necessarily a bad thing. We thank our kind hostess for a wonderful stay!

Mom/Daughter get away
My 18 year old daughter and I stayed at the Malibu property for a 5 day get away before she goes off to college. The property was beautiful, clean, next door to Nobu and the Malibu Pier. It was an easy drive to The Malibu Country Mart and Point Dume. Lillian, the property manager, was extremely helpful and always available. Though this exact property didn’t overlook the water, there is beach access in the complex. We didn’t book any excursions through the property agents but they did get us in touch with a boat charter (decided not to go). They were willing to help us with any activity we might have wanted and even offered airport pickup and drop off if we had chosen car rental through them (they would bring the car to the property). I will absolutely return to Malibu and use Stay Awhile Villas!

Great Location and Accommodations for Beach/Surfing/Hiking in Malibu
You will love staying here! Excellent property - very comfortable, attractive, high-end and right on the beach. It was super-easy to walk to Malibu first point to surf, or to just relax on the beach. The beach itself was relatively quiet and peaceful. The property managers were very attentive, bringing us chairs and umbrellas and responding to everything quickly. My only suggestion would be to send more details about the check-in and parking procedures in advance, as they were challenging to figure out on the fly.
