If you are looking for fun in the sun AND a restful, scenic place to spend some down time, this is the place! My husband and I and our two boys (ages 9 and 12) stayed for eight nights at Dana's place, and it was perfect for relaxation and solitude in the coastal mountains of Malibu. We fell in love with Dana's dog, Zorro, and being from a farming town, the wandering chickens and cats made us feel right at home. A short drive down the canyon and you hit the Malibu beaches - we visited a different one each day, and we loved borrowing Dana's boogie boards to ride the ocean waves. Only an hour or so to Hollywood and LA. Dana provided everything we needed for our family of four--thank you, Dana, for making our trip fun, relaxing, and memorable.
