The mini castle is a unique and cozy place to stay. The location feels removed from civilization but at the same time is close to everything Malibu has to offer. The mini castle itself demonstrates incredibly clever use of small amounts of space. The ocean view spot just up the short trail is lovely. Small touches like a filled brita, lots of ice, wine, chocolate, and eggs are so thoughtful. We had everything we needed. Anything that might be “an issue” for some travelers is clearly disclosed in the listing (no ac, stairs can be tricky, rooster on property). We were a little worried the lack of AC would be an issue in late July, but with the fans we were quite comfortable. Overall wonderful stay!
