Unique, one of a kind experience! This mini castle is one of a few properties on this 11 acre, gated ranch in Malibu, just a half a mile down the road to the PCH and the beach. The location was super convenient, far enough away from the highway to feel like you were escaping the world. Be prepared for no cell signal, so it's the perfect escape. If you hike up the trail to the beach view, you can grab a signal and possibly see some deer while you're at it! Simone was an amazing host and super accommodating. She was there when I arrived and showed me the ropes. I was traveling solo, so I really appreciated meeting her. The property has a couple of swings, a chicken coop and a rooster that will crow before dawn, so like one of the other reviews said, if you don't want to be woken up for a sunrise hike, bring your ear plugs. Also, be careful of the stairs going down to the bedroom and bathroom, if you have difficulty with big steps, you could be challenged with the first step. Don't try navigating down if you're tipsy, for sure!
All in all, this was a great stay. One I'll never forget!
