My family loved our stay! The location doesn't get any better - right on the ocean, a quick walk to the pier, and close to a great surf rental shop and surf spot. We spent most of our time out on the deck listening to the wave and watching whales pass by! A true Malibu experience. The host made check-in and out seamless which was really convenient and was always quick to respond! One thing to note is to make sure you bring kitchen essentials if you plan on eating-in / staying for a long period - the kitchen isn't stocked with things like sugar, olive oil, etc. one cutting board. The pullout bed is also really uncomfortable if you plan on using that as the second bed. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and can't wait to visit Malibu again!
