We came to this place for a little get away before we were meeting friends to help build the Donate Life float for the Rose parade. It is constructed by volunteers who have either had a family member who passed away and donated their organs or people who were recipients of an organ. As you can imagine, while it is an amazing experience, it is also exhausting both physically and emotionally. Well, this amazing place was just what we needed to be prepared with our batteries fully charged. Patricia (the hostess with the mostest) was super. She gave us they lay of the land and made sure we were all set. She even found out we were vegan and bought nut milk and some other items with fruit so that we didn’t have to rush out the next morning for groceries. While Malibu had fire damage this year, Patricia’s property was fine and the surrounding area was okay. This place is in close proximity to many attractions like the Santa Monica Pier and Hollywood. But to tell you the truth, i was more content to spend time reading in the gazebo or going down to the local beach. The gem of this place is getting access to a private beach that is AMAZING. It is picturesque and peaceful. My only regret was we didn’t get to stay longer.
