Traveling is great because of the people you meet - this trip Rita was one of those people.
Rita has a wonderful garden with multi-color birds, squirrels, and lizards. Besides the accommodations being great... the location is very good. Less than .1 miles to the sand of zuma beach. If you travel the other way down the road about a half-mile you will meet the zuma canyon trailhead. Great hike for a short or as long as you want to go. Lots of great mountain and ocean views.
There are two grocery stores and two starbucks within a mile down the PCH in either direction. 5-10 mins to Cross Creek (DT malibu)
Real Tempur-pedic bed. Good water pressure.
