I loved my stay at Malibu Retreat. Diane was a wonderful host and she made it so easy to check in. I was amazed to see how spacious it was - it's really a suite with a completely separate bedroom and living room area. The shower had great pressure and the bed was so comfortable, made up with luxurious linens. Her courtyard was a tranquil place to have a glass of wine after a long day of being out and it's so private. The nicest part was the beautiful and quiet neighborhood where as a single female I felt very safe taking an evening stroll to see the sunset and killer views. I had some great meals thanks to Diane's list of personal favorites. Don't miss Happy Hour at The Sunset - just roll off the beach and grab a bite to eat. The main reason I selected this property was because it was a stone's throw from Pepperdine . No need to get into PCH traffic - just go up the hill and you're there in 1 minute. And so centrally located to all the shops and restaurants - that's a big plus. I highly recommend Malibu Retreat and I hope to come back soon. 5 Star Stay!
