Our family of 5 stayed for 3 weeks. It worked for us but it was pretty basic. The location is good if you want to be in Malibu a few minute drive to a really nice beach and it’s nice point Dume is just down the road with sunlife, coffee shop and groceries... it does get pretty hot and stuffy in the summer with no AC so you’ll want to have all windows and doors open but PCH is right there so it’s pretty noisy. Also because of the way the house is built with this strange corridor going from the downstairs to upstairs you can hear a pin drop downstairs if someone’s trying to sleep in the upstairs bedroom, so just keep in mind if you have kids and are looking for a a little more privacy... this isn’t really the place...but overall it worked for us.. next time before booking a longer stay somewhere we’ll probably pick somewhere a little more cozy or homey. But the hosts were great! Thank you for being really responsive and addressing any concerns quickly and kindly!
