Our family was hoping to have a "beach house Thanksgiving" and rented this lovely beach house for 4 days over the Thanksgiving break. We brought our three boys, 11, 9 and 5 and arrived on a Monday and stayed all week. The house is incredible. All new inside, top of the line appliances, even extra beer in the refrigerator. It is right on the beach and comes equipped with sand toys, boogie boards and paddle boards. A terrific sound system on the two decks is state of the art, iPod driven. A great grill and ice machine is on the top deck, a huge picnic table and hot tub along with a hanging bed on the bottom deck. Bunk beds with flat panel TVs were a big hit. Also the two 30" monitors with build in apple Macintosh was greatly appreciated. Perfectly located between central Malibu and Santa Monica made it possible to go to the pier and then to Nobu with minimal traffic. Tara was really helpful, even provided a roasting pan for the turkey. This place gave us a Thanksgiving we will never forget. Thanks Alpins, you rock!
