If I could give this a 10 star I would. My son and I traveled out to California to celebrate his 18th birthday. When we first drove up and parked, the view of the Pacific was breathtaking. We got in earlier than expected and Hedy allowed us to check in earlier than 4, which was wonderful. It was everything that I had expected and more. The space is so clean and spacious and was perfect for the 2 of us. There was coffee beans and bottled water in the fridge when we arrived and she had even made up the futon for my son. Hedy is delightful and amazing.....so much fun to chat with....so much so, she and her granddaughter accompanied us out to dinner the night before we left. The first day there, she also brought over some homemade banana/chocolate chip bread that was wonderful. She checked in with us to see if we needed anything and always went out of her way to help us. She provided beach chairs, beach towels, information on the area and what to do and where to go and the last day, we were trying to pack up a surf board to ship back and she brought out all of the supplies for us. It was a wonderful sitting by the pool reading or having a glass of wine and even jumping in when it got hot. The location is perfect.....Malibu to the North and Santa Monica to the left and just a few minute drive to the cute little downtown. We had a great time on the beach, reading and my son surfing, eating at some great restaurants (Duke's, Reel Inn, North (and Italian restaurant in downtown Santa Monica) and we went to Malibu Pier and Santa Monica pier. It's no wonder she is always booked....so don't wait if you are reading this review.....book it now.....I will miss "my little slice of paradise"
