This is a beautiful house on a great part of Malibu beach. The home is closer to a two bedroom than a three, as the master bedroom suite is a loft that is completely open to the downstairs, so much so that you can’t see someone shower if you try. The home has interesting antiques and furnishing, but at times feels like storage as it is overcrowded with items.
Now comes the problem. The host Maryann is rude, disrespectful and has a potty mouth that would put a pirate to shame. One of our guests is overweight due to a medical condition and she called him every name under the boat. We stayed for one week and liked the place, so even after a bad check in elected to stay another week. The hot water heater, went we were ok and had to be a day without hot water. Then the drain plugged in the bathroom and the host said no big deal and would fix it when we left. We were attempting to stay for a few extra days and than the real problems developed. The powers went out in the area and the remaining guests had to stay in a hotel. The power had not returned so we paid for our day (even though the guest stayed in a hotel) Peter wanted us to pay for t
the days with no power. When we refused he fabricated a list of items to attempt to steal our security deposit. We spent over $37,000 dollars for two weeks and his unprofessional behavior was beyond the pale . It appears this is what he does. STEAL DEPOSITs. BEWARE. DO NOT RENT this place! It’s a scam
