We had a lovely stay at Eric's ranch house in Malibu! The setting and proximity to the beach was perfect and the house and outdoor area were lovely. We were able to walk to the nearby beach across PCH for an afternoon and there is a Ralph's just 10 minutes down the road where we stocked up on groceries for the weekend. There is really poor cell service in the neighborhood, so it is challenging to take calls/send texts unless you are using the wifi (and an iphone). But Eric was responsive to any questions or needs. Would highly recommend!
