A gem. A tennis court. A key.

Staying out on Point Dume we kept pinching ourselves… we felt so lucky to be here.

The key allowed us to pass through private gates; which led us down a beautiful path of flowers, past a backyard vineyard; across a foot bridge, which opened onto the sea.

Iconic, empty, unspoiled; these private Malibu beach front entrances are yours while you stay at Patricia and Jeff’s air bnb.

Fresh flowers, berries and cookies greeted us upon our arrival and as soon as we got settled, Jeff gave us a quick tour in his SUV. We drove past a few celebrity homes and at the end of Greyfox and Cliffside, he showed us these magical private gates.

In our stay, we spent wonderful hours walking in Point Dume.

Reminiscent of the dramatic landscape of Big Sur; the trek through the winding sandy paths of the California State Park afforded us breathtaking coastal views.

We walked along the Malibu beaches to Paradise Cove for breakfast and to the Sunset for happy hour.

My husband was thrilled to play tennis on his “own court;" with Jeff and with a great tennis pro he recommended and against the ball machine.

We enjoyed the quiet at night and the restorative seclusion and beauty of Malibu.

At the end of day, it was great to return to our cozy kitchen and comfy bed; fresh towels and wide screen TV.

There is a market, coffee shop, post office and bookstore a short walk away.

Jeff from Montana and Patricia from Mississippi gave us a warm welcome and enough personal space to have a real getaway.

There are so many reasons we would love to visit again…
