This property was alright, because its malibu and we were on holiday - but for the price we were disappointed and would not rebook.
Highlights: location was amazing - maybe 2 miles from the beach and really close (by car) to restaurants and various shops, the host's communication was great and reliable and they provide beach essentials like chairs, an umbrella and beach towels.
Lowlights: 1/ Many of the pictures were clearly older and staged - the outdoor space was not as depicted, and since this was a tiny house - we really intended to use the outdoor space as a living/hang out area, but it was not really set up for us to do this comfortably.
2/ The bed was rock firm - like beyond just a slight preference thing - both me and my friend were shocked about how hard it was - maybe people like that, but it was rough sleep for us.
3/ The unit cleanliness was the main sticking point for us. The dishes were dirty and hair was everywhere - in our towels, on counter, in shower and in bed (I took pictures because we were shocked, this is so gross to me!). There were obvious things like brown stains on the wall, seemed like coffee was splattered and just not cleaned up, and many spider webs from the light fixtures in both the main room and bathroom. It just felt careless especially considering what we paid.
I really do hate to leave bad reviews, but there were so many amazing ratings that I do wish I'd seen one like this before I booked this place. Who knows, maybe the cleaning issues were a fluke - and even if it wasn't, its definitely fixable.
