The house was an amazing place for my family of 9 adults and 3 children to stay in for 5 nights for our family vacation. I would highly recommend it for anyone visiting Malibu that wants to stay in a quiet home and enjoy the company of their group.
Pros:
-lots of bedrooms/beds so everyone has a comfortable place to sleep (master bed and bath are gorgeous). They even had 3 cribs for us to use for the babies!
-lots of different spaces in the house to enjoy
-beautiful views that can’t be matched (early morning and sunset are unreal)
-outdoor pool/hot tub/sitting area was phenomenal and where we spent most of our time
-kitchen is very well equipped (we bought groceries but there were lots of spices/oils/pantry items that were already there to use and replenish) and the wolf coffee machine is great once you learn how to use it
-they had a high chair and a booster chair to use
-the host was responsive during our trip
-groceries were delivered to the house from Pavillions (we used the app to put in the order a few days prior to arrival and it was great!)
-wifi/service is good enough for regular use but not for streaming a hockey game if you’re into that (Netflix and Disney worked fine!)
-lots of great restaurants within 15-20 minutes of the house
Cons: (these are just an FYI in case they are important to you)
-the two bathrooms upstairs in the hallway are not renovated (so a bit old and small but otherwise fine)
-the drive to the house from the PCH is about 15 mins up the mountain with lots of curves and bends (it was fine to do 1-2 times a day but plan around that as we hated going out for the day in the morning, returning home and then going out again for dinner)
-had a hard time finding restaurants that would deliver to the house, so be prepared to cook at home, pick up food or go out for dinner.
