Cannot get better than this in terms of location and vicinity to the water. It is a walking distance to the Malibu pier, a couple of minutes from the plaza and steps from the water.
We stayed in the property for 4 nights in mid-April.
The entrance to the complex is a bit obscure. The apartment is hard to find as it is hidden under a tree so make sure to get good directions.
It was nicely furnished with the exception that there were a lot of stains on the beautiful sofa. Cleaning lady should clean them and agent should provide stain remover in case guests leave a mark.
The kitchen was nicely equipped and we love the microwave. But there were not enough garbage bags. If you would be staying for more than a couple fo days you need to think about bags and perhaps your own towels and sheets.
There were some aunts running around nothing that would bother adults but my two kids freaked out and would not go into the kitchen.
Although the audio and visual equipment had Apple TV, smart TV, and direct TV almost none worked. Even the Netflix on the smart TV would not launch. Our family was looking forward to family night movie nights which never happened.
The deck is nice and has adequate furniture. We loved it when we could sit outside although for two days we experienced a great deal of wind.
Overall, we loved the property but did not have a good experience staying there.
