The location of this beach house is perfect...from the sandy beach, located on quiet road as opposed to PCH, plenty of parking & an amazing deck. The penthouse unit is very large, with a den area, a separate Great Room & the aforementioned deck, which is where we spent most of our time. The grocery store is very close & the kitchen is well equipped for preparing meals. We made use of the gas grill on the deck many nights. Plenty of seating for relax time & meals. Dining room table sat 10 comfortably & there was also a table on the deck & in the Great Room.
Peter was very prompt in replying to my questions & provided us with great restaurant referrals, when we could pull ourselves away from sunset on the deck. The house was very clean & the fresh flowers were a welcoming touch.
The only thing a future renter needs to be aware of is the fact that the master suite is in a loft...not enclosed from any activities that may be going on downstairs. It wasn’t a problem for my husband & I, as other than one night, it was just the two of us. But I could see how it may not work for some groups. That being said, the view that the loft affords you from the master bed is amazing!
I highly recommend Peter & Mary Ann’s place for a great Malibu beach experience.
