This was definitely a hidden gem. I wanted to introduce my 6-year old Texan to LA, Malibu, and Santa Monica. We arrived to the house and she was so amazed by the house that she asked if we could spend the whole vacation in the house. Only 20+ minutes to most of the places/restaurants in Malibu, 35 mins to Universal studios. It was extremely comfortable and I felt we had everything needed for a great time each day when we made it in from travels. The neighbor to the left of the deck have horses and sitting in the hammock each morning and listening to the birds as the sun came up was just as peaceful a retreat as the name implied. Great Stay!
