What a view!! If you didn't have any plans while visiting Malibu your time would be well spent sitting in the backyard, enjoying a beverage, and taking in the stunning view of the Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island, and LA. Shelly and Paul were fantastic hosts. They were there if we needed something, but also gave us lots of privacy. The beautiful beaches of Malibu are a short drive away on the scenic PCH. We spent the days exploring Malibu and the surrounding areas and the nights by the fire or hot tub star gazing and watching the planes go by. We would not hesitate to stay here again. Pro tip: Rent an electric car. Shelly and Paul have a level 2 charger you can use when it's not in use and gas prices in California were $5.00/gallon.
