Great place to stay with a well trained pup for a holiday birthday weekend to escape from record heat. We’ve lived in LA for 20 years and only now got a glimpse of how much Malibu has to offer outside our routine daycation spots. The excellent location was perfect for tranquil morning dog walks with incredible cliffside ocean views and just a short drive away from all the action. One of the owners grew up in Malibu and has local knowledge of the area including wineries and beaches we weren’t familiar with. I’m usually not one swayed by amenities since I like to be out and about, but the garden, pool, and interior are beautifully designed. We did have a misunderstanding over our private chef services dinner where the entree was some I couldn’t eat but my fiancée could. I just ate most of the charcuterie and chalked it up to first world problems, but I recommend being very clear about what you want as a starter, entree, and dessert and don’t assume that because the French cuisine (my cousin I miss dearly is a critically reviewed Ferrandi trained chef in Paris) you request doesn’t usually use pasta, it won’t be your main course. Price was reasonable as private chefs are usually $300-500 per service. Overall, I would highly recommend this Airbnb experience to anyone looking for an escape and a greater appreciation of Malibu.
