This Malibu house is literally right on the beach. It has an overhang with the water coming right up underneath the deck hitting the rocks. You can sit on the deck and listen to the waves and look in all directions and see the water. There is a beach at the end of the row of houses about 150feet to 200 feet. What is unique about this Airbnb house is the host. Jocelyne is the best host I have dealt with. She is quick to respond to inquiries and went out of her way to try and accomodate every request. She is a wonderful host. We booked this house to celebrate my wife's 65th birthday in California with our sons and family and grandchild. I was very impressed with the way she went the extra mile to try and make my wife's 65th birthday weekend the best ever. In fact she left a box of candy, a bottle of wine and a card for her for her birthday which was a very thoughtful gesture and one my wife was touched by. When I inquired about enough towels and chairs for the beach she went out of her way to get extra chairs and towels for us. Also she filled up the propane tank to make sure we had enough gas for barbecues. Unfortunately, the only negative which we experienced which was not Jocelyne's fault was the a/c system failed upon arrival on one of the hotest weekends in Malibu. She immediately contacted Airbnb to help us find another place for my family and we had to leave the house the next morning due to the heat when we found out they could not fix the a/c system it had to be totally replaced. It was an unfortunate situation for us, otherwise it would have been the perfect weekend for my wife's birthday celebration.
