This is the second time we've stayed at this wonderful retreat in the Malibu canyons, and we loved the place even more the second time. Sarah's house is really perfectly nestled away: Deep enough in the canyon that you feel isolated, in that delicious, private way that a city dweller craves; yet minutes from ocean and beach, so you can slake that thirst as readily. The house itself is a treat, gorgeous from every angle, with that serene and mesmerizing view. Worth every penny - and then some.
