This cozy one bedroom cottage is a perfect perch for getting to know
beautiful Malibu. Location, location, location! It is literally
minutes away from Pt. Dune, a magnificent vantage, and from West Beach,
a clean, uncrowded beach with excellent body surfing opportunities (and
surf boarding, if you know how), as well as access via a locked gate to
a cove beach where we watched world class surfers strut their stuff.
The host, Patricia Hill, is well connected to the community and directed
us to everything from a good bookstore to an annual yard sale at the
local Catholic Church where we picked up more books and great jewelry.
As to the place itself, it works very well. The bed is totally
comfortable, the living room has Internet, a magnificent flat screen TV,
DVD player, desk space, and a dining table for two. The compact kitchen
has what you need, although we found paper plates and plastic glasses to
be a needed convenience to avoid a lot of dish washing. The property
has a beautiful tennis court with all of the equipment. Two nearby
restaurants, although not inexpensive, served us a great breakfast
(Krispy's) and great drinks and bar food (Sunset) as well as well
prepared lunches. We have been using vacation rentals for decades; for
the very first time, the host took us on a tour of the local area when
we arrived, so we'd get oriented more easily. Now that is
thoughtfulness. We highly recommend this rental for a couple.
