This property is about 20 min from Malibu (and Whole Foods / Great Restaurants) and 30 min from Santa Monica. I was looking for a rural, quiet place that felt like a home away from home versus staying in a hotel in Santa Monica. What I loved was that it was rural, large property (front yard and back) and the cottage had both a living area, kitchen, separate bedroom. I think there is a bedroom upstairs (enter from the back deck) but I didn't need it so didn't check it out. The kitchen is a full kitchen with everything you would want. If you want fancy, state of the art everything this isn't your place. If you want comfortable, calming, clean, and everything you could really need this is it. The value was great. I loved hearing the crickets in the morning and seeing the stars at night.
