Shelly and Paul couldn't have been more welcoming! They were very quick to respond to my last minute request for a reservation. I had just spent the week in downtown L.A. and desperately needed to escape from the chaotic city life. I was able to find that perfect escape right here. Shelly escorted us out to their front yard/deck which offered stunning views of the Pacific Ocean. The loud noises of downtown were noticeably absent replaced with the calming sounds of chirping wild birds. After dinner on the Malibu Coast, my daughter and I were invited to curl up on one of their couches and watch our first episode of "Downtown Abbey" - we are now hooked on the show! Our room was beautifully decorated and was very comfortable. Shelly and Paul go the extra mile by offering a mini fridge stocked with drinks, toiletries in the bathroom, and then tea/coffee in the AM served with a variety of yummy baked goods. I only wished we could have stayed a few more days! Thank you Shelly and Paul for a truly wonderful stay!
