If you are looking to enjoy the beauty of Malibu -- this is the place to do it from!! Whether you would like to hike down to the private beach to enjoy the wonderful beauty of the ocean with classic rock formations and private sandy beach area or, take about a five minute trip to West Beach to enjoy all the sand and surf you can handle -- along with gorgeous sunsets or, if you go a few miles down the road to enjoy a sandy beach with the beautifully formed "sea caves" -- you will find a "home away from home" with Patricia's wonderful "cottage" (as I call it)!! You can't go wrong with a host that gives you warm chocolate cookies and fresh fruit on arrival!!! Thank you Patricia for all the "extras" -- from showing us the quickest way to the beaches to pointing out the homes of some of Hollywood's "greats"!! You are amazing -- actually the true "hostess with the mostess" as we say back home!!! Thanks again for everything!!!!
