This airbnb is an exceptionally beautiful home that's just a short walk from a secluded beach in Malibu. The home is modern, airy and luxurious with lots of different spaces for relaxing both indoors and out, with the ocean breeze drifting into the house through the many doorways and windows all over.
My fiancé Matty and I actually rented this space for a tiny wedding celebration after having postponed our "real" wedding indefinitely because of coronavirus, and I am so grateful to the owner Helena for entrusting us with her home. We live in Los Feliz (LA) but wanted to go to Malibu to get married since it always feels like a vacation there. Prior to granting our request to airbnb, Helena was certainly cautious in making sure that we weren't throwing some kind of rager with loud music, and I can't blame her since it is such a stunning home located on a quiet street of other multi-million dollar family homes.
After assuring her that what we had planned was just a beautiful evening with a handful of guests and a private chef, she granted our request, and I cannot thank her enough for entrusting us with her home for our special occasion! When we arrived to the house in the days before our celebration, we were welcomed with a congratulations card and fresh flowers on the table from Helena - it was so thoughtful. And for the duration of our stay, she never bothered us once, not even just to pop her head in, and we really appreciated the privacy.
The house made for the perfect setting for our little wedding. Before dinner, we made the little jaunt down to the beach with our guests, and a friend of ours married us as the sun went down. This beach by the house - Lechuza Beach - is gorgeous with rock formations jutting out of the water. It's very close to Matador Beach - another one of Malibu's hidden gem beaches. Throughout our stay, the beach was never crowded, just a few small groups who appeared to be locals, and as we walked down to the beach with our guests for the ceremony, the handful of teenagers on the beach cheered us on as we looked for the perfect spot.
The kitchen at the house is huge, with two sinks, and made for a perfect space for the private chef to spread out, and tons of nice stored in the cabinets for our use. And the master bed and bathroom are ginormous, making us feel like a King and Queen. The other two bedrooms are also nice and very private, and with doors leading to the outside decks.
Other details:
-The property is pet-friendly which made us so happy because our two dogs are like children to us:)
-The TV is equipped with an AppleTV and a feature on the TV itself for streaming. That was a great perk! We brought on our AppleTV with us but never had to plug it in since everything was already there.
All in all, I have no complaints about this house and highly recommend, particularly if you're looking for something special! Thank you Helena!
