We had a wonderful stay at the Alpins' beach cottage. The accommodations were top-of-the line, with big-screen TVs in every room, a fully equipped kitchen, and wonderfully comfortable beds. The cottage was spotless, and everything we needed was on hand. The ocean views were breathtaking, and we enjoyed watching sailboats, paddle-boarders and even sea lions frolicking nearby. We were in Malibu for our son's college graduation from Pepperdine University, and staying at the Alpins' cottage made the experience all the more memorable. We'll be back when our daughter graduates from Pepperdine next year.
