We’ve stayed in many places around the world but one of the most magical places we’ve ever stayed is this enchanting home up in Malibu! The home itself is pristine, exceptionally appointed - with a gorgeous chesterfield sofa and armchair as the center piece of the spacious living/family room. The bedrooms are all beautiful - with super comfy beds and lovely furnishings throughout. Also the billiard table / ping pong table is a very nice addition to all the amazing board games, TVs and high end karaoke system. But ignore all of that for a moment — the home is set in the canyons above Malibu and has the most spectacular views of the canyons, mountains and the magnificent Pacific Ocean. Watch the sunrise, literally from above the clouds, and as it rises and the cloud cover diminishes you see the ocean gradually take center stage. The deck, with jacuzzi, bbq, bar area, big screen outdoor TV, fire pit, lounge chairs and armchairs is possibly one of the most serene spots to unwind and soak in the energy of the landscape. Add to this a secluded outdoor yoga and workout podium and you have an experience that is very hard to leave! Inside the home there isn’t a single place (unless you lock yourself in a closet) that doesn’t have a stunning - i mean STUNNING - view! Every bedroom, the living area, dining area, kitchen - all of it looks out on postcard quality views of the Malibu, mountains, canyons and ocean. We unequivocally and emphatically recommend this beautiful home for your California experience - be warned - you wont want to leave. I can’t complete the review without mentioning how responsive, flexible, gracious and welcoming the hosts are!!! Thank you Emalie & Brian!
