Mario's place is a little piece of paradise only 20 min from LA. The beach is the most magical one I've seen in Malibu. the rock formations in the water allow you to even get close and personal with sea anemones and clams. We even saw a family of dolphins from our balcony in the morning. The place is very quaint and cute. Mario was super attentive and anytime we needed something he brought it right away. seems to always be around or have someone else be around so it's really easy to get any questions answered or any extra amenities if needed. Stayed here for 10 days and loved every minute of it.
