What can be said about this rental that hasn't already been said, magical retreat, spectacular views, incredible host and no, the pictures do not do it justice. My brother and his family came into town and we were looking for a quiet getaway for the 4th of July and this rental did not disappoint. It's a "local" nature's retreat way up at the top of the Malibu mountains. The views make you feel like you are in heaven, and on a clear day you can't tell where the ocean ends and the sky begins. We spent most of our time on the outdoor patio and the outdoor seating area, where you can enjoy views for miles. The hot tub was a special added bonus. I would also like to say that the house was very CLEAN. And the attention to detail was superb. Vanessa was always quick to respond to a few questions we had and check in couldn't have been easier. If you are looking to get away from the madness of the city or just want a relaxing retreat, you cannot beat this location. I will most definitely be back. Thank you Vanessa for hosting us, it was PERFECT.
