The home itself was beautiful, clean and matched the photos. Plenty of space for our group of 10 to spread out and enjoy. We really enjoyed the pool!
The host was really pleasant and very fast to communicate. We left behind some keys and the host was kind enough to check for us.
Two pieces of advice if you’re booking this house.
1) Enjoy the house. Because it’s a bit challenging to get to - it’s not easy to pop in and out the house. From the main highway in Malibu it’s a 15 min slow, drive up the the mountain. I would book this house if you want to get a group of people together to relax around a big house (vs just use it as place to sleep while going out in Malibu). It has everything you need to be happy and comfortable for several days.
2) Getting to the house is quite challenging if you’re not familiar with the area and/or uncomfortable driving on windy, dark, dirt roads in the mountains. If you book this house, make sure you’re arriving during the daylight so you can find your way. Also save the Wi-Fi password before you go as there truly is NO cell service.
That said, we saved a ton of money (compared to homes truly in Malibu). We mostly just used it as a place to sleep and eat breakfast before we went out for the whole day and night. But we really enjoyed it!
