I read most of the reviews on here so will summarize it for everyone.
1. View/ location - yes it is GREAT! Totally worth the drive up!
2. Canyon driving - agree that if you had a very large car ( I drove a SUV and it was fine) and arriving in the dark, then the very first time driving it may be a bit intimidating but once you drive it then you will be very comfortable. Only 10 min down to Duke’s Malibu.
3. Bathroom privacy - I didn’t mind the curtains instead of doors like other reviewers commented but what may bother some light sleepers might be that the walls don’t extend all the way to the ceiling so there is a slight opening at the very top. but if you are very bothered by light while you sleep then this opening at the top may pose a problem. Honestly overall we were fine with it - especially once we plugged in our own night light. But if you are a couple just starting out and aren’t completely comfortable with each other yet then maybe it might be an issue. I also really loved the very strong steam of water from the shower head.
4. Some reviewers said it needs some updates for the price they charge - I agree and disagree with this comment. I do see why there were comments about updates being needed, but Malibu is a “very” expensive area. So I think the price was reasonable considering the location.

5. Temperature - With the fans provided we did fine.
Overall I really enjoyed the view and serenity during my stay. It is a very peacefull place.
