The Malibu Sandcastle

Please message the Host before instant booking.

Welcome to luxury Coastal living at its finest in this custom made newer home with high ceilings. Built in 2016, this modern Spanish home features custom made materials and oak hardwood floors throughout, and is fully furnished with the top of the line amenities.

Full length glass pocket doors downstairs and upstairs, give complete 180 degree unobstructed views of the beach downstairs and upstairs, and open to a large 800 square foot outdoor deck with 10 foot dining table, fire pit, and banquette seating along the glass and along the fire pit. This extra large deck is perfect for entertaining and relaxing over the sand with unobstructed beach views. This custom built house was designed and built with beach living in mind. The house and the outdoor deck are all one level, are just five steps above the sand. Easy access from the deck to the beach allow smooth flow into and out of the beach. The deck has an outdoor heated shower. There is an additional access to the outdoor spa jacuzzi directly to the olive courtyard. There you can enjoy a hot tub spa for up to 10 people in a shaded garden area. Heated outdoor shower is also provided.

Enjoy walking along one of the longest and sandiest beaches in Malibu. Watch the sunrise over the Santa Monica Bay AND the sunset over Point Dume. Plenty of beach activities to be had such as: kayaking, paddle boarding, surfing and much more! Two famous Malibu restaurants are nearby if you are too exhausted from all living the Malibu life. Geoffrey's and Paradise Cove are within walking distance.

Located on a private street off Pacific Coast Highway with ample parking, which is especially useful if one is traveling with family and/or pets. Upon arrival, guests are welcomed through a gated entry to a pebble stone courtyard w/ easily accessible spa shaded by mature olive trees; perfect for al fresco dining. Pass through the oversized iron front door and one is captivated by the spacious open floor plan with high ceilings and sliding glass pocket doors that lead out to the large oceanfront deck. Adjacent to the living area is a media room with bar and wine cellar.

The second level features two guest bedrooms, multiple skylights and a grand oceanfront master suite complete with sitting area, balcony and panoramic ocean views from the Queen's Necklace to Point Dume. Close proximity to world class dining. Private Membership to Sycamore Tennis Courts included for additional fee. Located across the street.

For tennis players, access to three championship tennis courts across the street is included in your stay. Escondido beach is one of the most revered and coveted beaches in Malibu. The sandy beach is walkable in both directions for miles.

The private road off of Pacific Coast Highway allows for better security, privacy, noise reduction, and safety when driving in and out.

A truly remarkable property
An expansive beach house that captured the Malibu experience without many of the hassles. The location off a private road between the ocean and the PCH enhanced the sense of safety and privacy while the dry, sandy beach made any time a good time for building sandcastles or setting out for a stroll.

Relaxing Family Vacation
Great house directly on the sand, made for nice walks and sand play for the kids. There were a couple minor items not working when we arrived, but the house manager was great to work with and came the same day to check on those. The home was perfect for our low key relaxing family vacation. Overall, great communication and fantastic location!
