Nice place but quite sterile feeling overall. The location is beautiful and the place is clean, pristine and has great caretakers. You really can't be in a better spot in Malibu, and thats what you are paying for. The We have rented/stayed on this beach alot over the years, Nobu Ryokan is the only place that is nicer than this one, and its def alot more expensive- so the value for money is here based on the market and the super exclusive location. The other rentals are either old with tiny beds or much larger and more expensive, so this one definitely hits a sweet spot.
Definitely worth getting the corner unit since its by far the most private!
Apartment is nice and new but quite sterile, only bright overhead lighting and you can't control the outdoor lights so no chance to enjoy a full moon view since the lights are always on.
Wish there had been any private loungers or extra chairs on the huge deck, and that the dining table and chairs were a bit nicer and not just outdoor furniture.
Biggest downside was having to pay $100 for a 7:30pm check, this really was a thorn in our side, and the whole check in process felt unnecessarily stressful, especially after our 18 hour journey to LA.. would be much easier to just email or text the gate codes with a simple visual explanation of how the keypads work.
