Valerie's place is lovely. If you're looking for a cozy cottage right on the sand, this place is perfect. If you surf, you're walking distance to 1st point, and if you don't surf, Malibu Pier is just a few hundred feet down the road. Valerie's beach house is sandwiched between the new Nobu Ryokan hotel and the refurbished Malibu Beach Inn, so location is obviously perfect. And compared with the prices at these two amazing hotels that share the same stretch of beach with Valerie's bungalow, I'd say Valerie's spot represents excellent value for money. Fireplace, kitchen, romantic setting. Apple TV connected easily with my MacBook so we were able to watch movies easily on the flat screen with Sonos sound as the waves crashed just outside. We had a fantastic time. Malibu is lovely any time of year, and I highly recommend it!
