We stayed at the property with our two little girls, and while the house is not necessarily child-friendly, we made it work by closely watching them and by keeping similar bedtimes (the open air/loft style meant that there are no doors separating sleeping quarters).

The setting is beautiful, peaceful, and remote, yet with a short drive down the mountain, you can easily access the PCH and all of Malibu.

The house is a gem, and the grounds are lovely with all the fruit and flower trees. This very special property would really shine if it was given some more TLC (fresh coat of paint and carpeting in the house, and more landscaping/upkeep of the outside).

It was very hot one day and the open windows and two fans did not adequately cool the unit down. If there are more than two people staying at the house, you may want to make sure that there are enough fans in the event of an especially hot day.

Communication with the hosts was seamless. We had a great time!
