Pros: First off, the house is beautiful - nicely renovated and modern. There was tons of space! The beach is rocky, but there was plenty of low tide time during the days to hang on the sand. We loved the paddle boards and kayaks! Cons: I personally found it too loud and not as relaxing as I would have liked. You are sandwiched between PCH and the waves crashing. The waves do mostly drown out the traffic, but it's never quiet. Also I think the kitchen could be stocked better and more organized. It felt like they need to come through and do an overhaul. And for the price, we all felt like there should be more basics like a few seasonings, trash bags, tupperware, etc. As someone who rents a lot of rental homes, that was definitely frustrating.

This is the perfect house for a group. Plenty of space for sleeping and playing. We loved the ocean-front hot tub and the expansive rooftop deck. The host family was helpful and communicative -- we felt very welcome!

Amazing house with an even better view. When tides are low it’s perfect for beach play, at high tide it’s more for adults. But couldn’t have had a better time. Plus there’s a pirate.

Location was great! House was lovely and great layout for two families to stay comfortably. Loved the house and definitely plan to come back again!

Everything was great, the house was perfect and the views amazing. Only little downside is the close proximity to the PCH, but you can't have everything.

We rented this home with another family. We had a blast! When the tide went out, the kids boogie boarded. When the tide was in we SUPd, kayaked, and surfed. There was fun for all. Not to mention the amazing view. Thank you for a wonderful get away. We really needed it!!!

My boss and his colleague wanted to bring their families to LA while they there for business. I came across this listing by chance and thought it too good to be true. It was absolutely Amazing!!! To be honest, it was better than the pictures portrayed. There is so much I could say but I don’t want to bore you. The main thing is that this is a property, from its location to beauty, is worth every penny. You will not be disappointed. The boss’s family has already asked me to look into booking it again for future visits to Los Angeles. Thank you Haley for everything. You made 2 families very, very happy!!!

This property was rented for a short beach vacation for a group of 13. Quite simply, the house was perfect for our group. Everything was clean. The house was spacious with lots of sleeping options. The kitchen was adequately stocked for our use. The view was amazing and it was a great place to relax. The owner (Haley) was friendly and responsive. Check-in was very easy. The location is a short drive to a bunch of restaurants and services in either Malibu or Santa Monica. I would definitely consider staying here again.

Amazing!

Our family loved this house as we gathered for a wedding in Malibu. Being ocean front was wonderful and the house was well equipped from beach toys to the kitchen where we shared meals. Thank you.

We really anticipated a lovely stay. It says it accommodates 16, but that includes children size beds and mattresses on the floor. One room is just a bunch of mattresses shoved in there that are so old and on mismatched frames. The mattresses that are there are filthy, one even had bloodstains so large it looked like a murder scene. Our guests were scared and wouldn’t sleep there, asked for a refund on our energy healing retreat. It was mortifying. The house “sound system” was busted, wouldn’t even turn on. Lightbulbs were out and no replacements available. Beds ALL had dirty sheets, like they had been remade from previous guests. The kitchen was so poorly stocked with chipped, unmatching cups/plates/flatware, mismatched old cookware with no lids, and a broken blender that left us with pieces of plastic in our smoothies. The deck upstairs was filthy and covered in cobwebs. The umbrellas were filthy and had rusted out stands that wouldn’t support the umbrella anyway, essentially making them useless. The furniture was so old or filthy you had to cover it before using. Rust stains on windows and filthy walls. I was shocked. There clearly hasn’t been any maintenance or upgrades to the property for a long time. Owner tried to blame us for things previous renters or maids did just to keep the deposit. Such a scam and so disappointed. We spent so much time cleaning and covering broken items, it was exhausting. This place is not as advertised and these pictures do not represent how the house currently looks. Just be aware if you book it’s like camping, you will need to bring absolutely everything. That being said, the view is of course beautiful and as long as you focus on that instead of the accommodations, you’ll be fine.

We loved every minute of it and didn't even want to venture out. Seals & dolphins stopped by to say hello. Hot tub did the trick. Great for two or three families with kids. Would definitely recommend to friends and family. Haley was great and made checking in and out super easy! Can't wait to come back!!

We loved the property! Lots of privacy and plenty of things to do all close by. Lots of traffic on CA-1 but we managed just fine.

Great Property, right on the water. Awesome location.

Everything about this property was exactly as advertised or better. It is extremely well appointed and equipped. You feel like you are on the brow of a yacht looking at the ocean. The kids loved the unique cubby beds. The pictures don't do it justice. Great folks to deal with. Absolutely no problems and we will return the next time we visit LA.

Thank you so much for having us at this wonderful house. This place is truly something else.

We were thrilled to stay a fabulous 10 days at this gorgeous house. As a family of 6 (4 kids, 12, 11, 8 and 6) plus our nanny we had an enormous amount of space. The kids loved the pirate on the balcony, the pelicans perch bunk bed and the pirates cove cubby. The kitchen was a great place to watch the waves, dolphins, and seals while cooking our favorite meals from farmers market purchases. The house is stocked with surf boards, games and puzzles. The fireplace was a great way to enjoy the cool air of the coast and yet be warm and cozy. The kids loved roasting marshmellows. We look forward to renting again. Haley was very responsive and helpful.

We had a wonderful long weekend with many family members to celebrate my husband’s birthday. It was a perfect location for us, with a nice open floor plan downstairs so we could all meet and eat together but plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs that gave everyone privacy and comfort. The location is beautiful and the property is very well-maintained. We were missing a few kitchen implements, but that’s absolutely the only problem we had. We were there during an extremely high tide that splashed waves over the balcony, so that made beach access a little difficult (and there was beach available only for a few hours in the afternoons), but it was exciting to witness the power of the ocean. We also witnessed the lunar eclipse, and that was a truly magical sight over the water. Our hostess was responsive and helpful, and we would return in a heartbeat.

We really enjoyed our long weekend here. The main living area is truly beautiful and comfortable—a place where you could happily spend your entire visit! Haley was easy to work with and accommodated our wishes in a very flexible way. The configuration of bedrooms and beds works for most any group, including a fair number of kids. It rained some and was too chilly for us to be on the water, but we enjoyed hiking, walking the beach eating good food and relaxing. Only tip is you'll want to bring in everything to cook with because unless we missed them we didn't find condiments (including salt) and other basics that often come with a VRBO. Highly recommend the place tho.
