Place was good, not great.
Lets start with the positives:
- it was a cool beach house vibe
- backyard was nice
- plenty of living space and dining space
- comfortably fit 3 families with kids
- good value for the area if staying in central part of Malibu is important to you
Not so positive:
- right on PCH, but gated, so not a huge deal unless you are super sensitive to noise
- kitchen was not terribly well equipped. We had to buy some basic stuff in order to cook
- Hot tub was a little on the dirty side and smelled like it had not been chlorinated particularly recently
- finishes were a little lackluster
- nearest beach was .8 mile walk and was a little precarious having to dart across PCH and then walk along some places without sidewalks
- landscaping in back was overgrown and not well tended to
