It was exactly what I needed. I had a week long project in West Hollywood and I wanted a beach shacky place so that I could surf every morning before heading to work (and sometimes after). Though this place was not directly on the beach it is potentially walkable to two local Malibu breaks and just a few minute car ride to all Malibu and above. The private deck in the back allowed me to dry my stuff easily and the concrete flooring was perfect beach shack material. This isn't luxury accommodations but due to the price and the privacy it was more than worth it. I would definitely stay here again.
