Shelley's place in Malibu is an awesome place to stay! We spent about a month there and marveled at the view every single day. You feel like you're on a cruise ship since all you see out the window is the ocean. On a clear day, you can see Catalina Island. It's just an amazing view from both inside the unit and out on the balcony. There is lots of space inside, too.
There are many great restaurants within a short drive from the unit, both in Malibu and Santa Monica and beyond. It's great having a garage as part of the unit and makes it easy for packing and unpacking the car.
We would not hesitate to stay at Shelley's place again on our next visit to southern California!
