If you are considering seeing Malibu and the surrounding area you should stay here. Mathias (Tice) and Swanny are excellent hosts and made us feel welcome. The property is a lovely place to relax with tea or coffee as the sun rises through the trees. If you are the outdoorsy type the backbone trail has a trailhead within a few minutes walk and many of the best state parks and recreation areas are within just a few miles. The Pacific Coast Highway is a short drive away with easy access to the beach.
