We had a great time at Patricia's Malibu guest house. On our arrival, Patricia warmly welcomed us with warm chocolate chip cookies which we quickly devoured!:) She also provided us with an awesome tour of her beautiful Malibu neighborhood the next morning. During this time, she pointed out the nearby celeb homes and gave us a quick tour of the beautiful private beach within her community. Since we are from Calgary and have never been to California before, we wanted to tour as much of the area as possible. Being in a central location, and such a short drive from the PCH, the guest house made this possible, as we were able to explore many areas near Malibu, such as Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, Huntington and Newport beach etc. The guest house is also a short walking distance to stores like Starbucks, Pavillions and some other restaurants/pubs. We especially enjoyed the pizza place near the Pavillions in the area- probably the best pizza that we've ever had! Patricia provided us with numerous maps, articles and travel guides to the area. Her friendly dog Dexter was a perfect companion to our own dog Charlie, who we brought along for the trip. The ample space surrounding the guest house provided sufficient space for the two to run around in the mornings and play before we would head out to tour the area. The guest house itself was very homey, clean and private. It had everything we needed and the bed was super comfortable! Because we were so busy the whole week, we only got a chance to go to the private beach once. However we are definitely glad we did! The walkway to the beach is very scenic and beautiful and as is the beach itself. We took some snacks down to the beach on our second last night and watched the sunset- it was very enjoyable and peaceful. It was a perfect ending to our trip! All in all, Patricia was a wonderful host and I would definitely recommended Patricia's guest house to anyone traveling to the area!
