Beachfront Malibu House w/ Sauna & Ocean-View Deck

Reviews

• Beautiful home on the water

  5/5

  This home was perfect for our family! The kitchen was fully stocked with cooking utensils and dishes. There were plenty of places to sleep and also living space to hang out. The master bedroom and bath are amazing with a private balcony and beautiful views. The convenience of the basically private beach made the trip unforgettable. You have to be strategic in the time you play in the water because of the tide but we were able to get in 6 hours a day of beach time. I saw some reviews saying traffic noise was unbearable however we weren't bothered by the noise of the traffic at all as the ocean sounds over powered most of it. The beds were pretty comfortable with more than enough linens. There were tons of towels and beach towels as well as beach chairs and toys. The washer and dryer also work great. The home is older and has some quirks but you can tell the owners are working on updates. Overall we enjoyed ourselves very much and have joyful memories in Malibu. We would definitely stay here again!

  4/5

  During our VRBO stay with 8 people, we found the room clean and the house nicely tidy, offering all amenities necessary for a comfortable stay. From kitchen seasonings to extra blankets and towels, everything was provided. Despite the rain and cooler weather, the heater kept us cozy, and we especially enjoyed the sauna in the master bedroom shower room. We did notice some salt water residue on the windows, due to the proximity of the ocean, but it didn't significantly impact our stay. Although there were some minor issues such as, difficulty opening doors due to ocean water damage, these were expected for an older house.

  As an alumni of Pepperdine, the location, right off Pacific Coast Highway and near the university, added to the convenience and charm of the stay. Additionally, we also checked out the rooftop that had a beautiful view of the ocean with chairs available for enjoying the Malibu sunset. Overall, it was a good experience, and I would recommend this place for anyone looking for a comfortable stay in Malibu.

• Great weekend getaway!

  5/5

  We had a great weekend away at this property in Malibu. The beds were comfortable and everything we could have needed was available (towels, beach chairs, hair dryer, steamer, games, etc). As mentioned in other reviews, the sauna advertised does not work.

  In the afternoon during low tide we were able to take walks on the beach and sit out on the beach chairs. The home does have older appliances and normal beach weathering but that is to be expected with a property right on the beach. We would recommend this spot and book again in the future.

  This home did not match the pictures. We had a taped up hole in the ceiling over the master bed and there were a lot of broken window handles, rust, burned out lightbulbs, etc. The pictures make it look very new, bright and shiny but it felt dingy when we were there. It did not look like it had been cleaned well and it looked like someone had just moved out for the weekend. There was old food in the cabinets and a bunch of old junk in the drawers. Plus if you are at all sensitive to noise, this is not the house for you. The waves and the traffic are very very loud. Even with ear plugs in, it was a pretty noisy night for all four of us. We were happy to leave after 3 nights and would not plan to rent this home again.

  Outstanding property with very responsive owners. Even though weather was very poor during our stay, we enjoyed the property and area
