Eric's Malibu Beach Bungalow was just as advertised, which is high praise given how beautiful the pictures were. Eric greeted us shortly after our arrival and offered some useful recommendations for dining. He is a very cool, laid-back and intelligent guy and a great host! This was our first Airbnb experience, and it will be hard for the next Airbnb host/venue to top.

The location is as good as it gets for Malibu -- beach is beautiful, water is warm and you are in walking distance to Duke's and a quick, cheap Uber ride to Moonshadows, Nobu, hiking trails, Getty Villa, etc.

The bungalow itself really sets the perfect vibe for a Malibu trip -- airy, clean, laid back and with a cool bookshelf with interesting books to grab and read while you're relaxing on the deck.
