My wife and I stayed with our three adult sons. The apartment was spacious and well-appointed. Fantastic location with easy access to Carbon Beach and shops/restaurants.
Exceptional value. Huge living room and very large bedrooms. Really comfortable bed and sheets. Well stocked kitchen. Will definitely consider staying again next time we’re in town.
Everything was wonderful. From the girl that met us to show us everything to the comfy of the entire place. Especially the beds. My grandkids loved both balconies Tha k you for the wonderful experience
Extremely clean and beautiful property. Garden was gorgeous. You do have to climb over some rocks if you go down the stairs to the beach and when tide is high it’s not accessible but there is a public access right next to the building that is very easy and was not crowded at all. Management was extremely prompt and responsive and so very nice. Worth the money and we usually do not spend this much but really loved this space.
If you're looking for a clean, modern, and spacious place with unbeatable views of the ocean, this is the place to be! The beds are way more comfortable than most hotels. The sofa beds are hard, but the children didn't notice until day 4. The dining table had plenty of space to fit a family of 7. The location is unbeatable. Not only are you right on the beach, you're also in walking distance to stores, restaurants, and the pier. Just be aware that this listing includes only one parking spot and parking on PCH in the afternoons are difficult. However, we live nearby and were aware of that. The only issue we ran into were constant glitches with the VRBO app and delayed messaging relay, but that's not the responsibility of the host. They host is responsive and friendly. We'd definitely come back in the summer!!
The entire process was smooth and communicative. The property is immaculate, and the location is exactly what I needed. When I travel to Malibu again, this is where I will try to stay if it is available. I can’t say enough about the hospitality and the provisions that were made. This was an excellent stay!
We really enjoyed our stay as a family !!
I have never booked thru a VRBO type service so I was a bit nervous paying the full amount in advance for a 17 day booking — I was pleasantly surprised
Any issue or concern we had was addressed immediately particularly by Alex and Jelena. The rooms are clean, the beach is fantastic and attention to detail is first class
We will be back !!!
Great place, great location, furnished beautifully with all the amenities! Would definitely stay here again. The management team was awesome. They were prompt with responses and answers.
Top notch! Loved our stay!
We had hoped for a bit more access to beach view, sound or otherwise. Our view was street facing, which should be announced in listing. Wished there was access to beach chairs etc with each unit. For the units that have zero view of the beach, it would be nice to have access to a community area for beach viewing or relaxation outdoors.
What a fantastic spot! Beautifully maintained property in an idyllic setting. Friendly and accommodating staff.... what more could you ask for! Book now before they fill up!
This is a great property. We are in Malibu 4-5 times a year and will make this one of our go tos!
Great property. Clean, easy. Nicely decorated. Everything you need. Great beach access and close proximity to everything in Malibu! You won’t be disappointed.
Great place, great stay, solid management! Thanks!
The place was clean and modern, great amenities including Nespresso and well stocked. Fabulous beachfront location of the complex (though NOTE this specific unit is interior facing). The property manager TeJay was very helpful and responsive. The check in process is slightly wonky after hours but TeJay stayed late to assist. Good stuff!
We had a great stay! The property is exceptionally clean (loved the Japanese toilets/bidets)! The layout allowed our entire family to stay comfortably. Beds were very comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked and efficient. Was a little confused on layout in the online photos (we tried to do the virtual tour but I think it was of another unit). :) The common area with grass and lounge chairs near the ocean offered gorgeous views. Great location! Thank you for a wonderful stay!
Better than we expected…and our expectations were HIGH
Pros: Great experience. The villa was clean and peaceful and at a great location in Malibu. Both away from the crowd and close to many restaurants. Staff was extremely friendly. The rooms were clean and private enough for a group of people. If you’re renting a car, there’s a garage parking and even when we couldn’t snag it there was easy street parking.
Cons: Only cons was wishing we had more direct communication with the staff. We realized on our last day we missed out on some nice rooftop views; we were bummed we didn’t get a tour.
Overall this is a villa we would stay again!

Malibu
Leider war das Apartment an einer sehr stark befahren Straße. Es war extrem laut.
Wir hatten für 5 gebucht, die Ausstattung war für 4 und insgesamt sehr dürftig
Keine Spülmaschine.
Das Apartment war sauber und die regulären Betten waren bequem, das Schlafsofa nicht zum schlafen, extrem hart
