Although we enjoyed the Malibu location and had a taste of the beachfront lifestyle, here are the things that impacted our stay that we could not give 5 star ratings.
There was no warm welcoming to the unit. Upon entering, there was an overpowering scent of either an air freshener or cleaning solution. Probably to mask the septic smell in the bathroom. We found where the scent was coming from we unplugged it (a glade plug-in/equivalent).
The "welcome bag" consisted of a dish scrubber, dish soap, paper towels and dish washer pods. These are items that we found are typically furnished in rentals, especially "luxury" ones. For the price and location of a rental like this it would definitely make a good impression to have samples of coffee/tea/water as a warm welcome. The soap, shampoo and conditioner were the stuff you find at cheap motels. Bring your own if you care for your skin and hair.
If you are looking for the utensils, they are located in a drawer that shares a bin with the trash. We scratched our heads on that one. The shower stall immediately plugged as soon as the water was turned on, leaving us standing in 3-4 inches of the daily filth water.
Understandibly a beachfront property will get ocean residue, however, the windows and balcony glass appeared to have missed the maintenance, and for quite some time. The bedroom window hinges were extremely rusted and grimy that they could not be opened.
From the "accuracy" aspect of the listing, it was indicated that it sleeps 4 but only sleeps 2 comfortably. To put it plainy, unless you're in the bed, you're sleeping on a couch (not a pull-out) and not a very comfortable one. The "Luxury Living" is that you get to experience paying a luxurious amount for the location. You get the feeling that the property managers rely solely on the great location to be the win.
