My daughter and I absolutely loved our stay here. Melissa‘s place is just a bit north of Zuma Beach in Malibu, and is across the street from some smaller beaches. Everything about our stay was perfect: the amenities inside the house were plentiful and the place was sparkling clean. Melissa‘s place is located on a large nature preserve, and trails to the top of the mountain begin outside of the door to the house. If you love trail running, this is the place for you! You can take a trail about 1.2 miles straight uphill and connect with one of the nature trails that runs along the Santa Monica Mountains range. The house itself is very quiet and extremely comfortable. You can spend hours sitting on the deck looking out at the ocean and hear nothing but silence. Every amenity we wanted was there… Beach towels, all kinds of pots and pans for cooking, and Melissa has left great instructions for the best food places and hiking trails. We also have the opportunity to meet one of the facility managers, Antonio, and he was positively delightful. Highly recommended! I hope to be back next year!
