The cottage overlooking the Pacific is truly enchanting. My boyfriend and I ended our two week vacation to the US here, and we couldn't have asked for a better ending. The cottage lies on the far edge of Malibu, so be aware that getting to shopping/restaurants/LA will take a little drive. The peacefulness and beautiful views is what you get in return though. You're right by several of the prettiest beaches (surfing or relaxing), and on the edge of the Santa Monica Mountains (gorgeous hiking area). The home itself is very cute, clean and comfortable. Great bed and bathroom, overall excellently equipped. It's very light and there is a lot of space outside to sit or relax, and enjoy the view. Melissa was easy to get in touch with and very lenient with our check in and out. I wish we could stay longer. I can highly recommend staying at this home.
