This Malibu Preserve is nestled in a picturesque canyon full of trails and thriving native plants. Huge sycamore trees seem to hug the house just as they protected the house from a fire long ago. Skip across the street and you can walk down stairs to a long wide beach up against small cliffs and a very shallow beach that gives the surfers a real ride. This is pure California nature at its best!
The home is perfect for a family or two couples because the bedrooms have comfy beds and ensuite bathrooms. We cooked many meals in the well-equipped kitchen. And we had no problem toasting the stunning sunsets seen from the patio. We've stayed in this house when it rained much of the time and when it reached 80 degrees on the sand. Both were memorable.
Finally, Melissa was a great host. She really takes care of you, even giving us decorations and a cake for our Christmas stay. We look forward to returning soon to this Malibu retreat.
