Feeling bad to give this place only 2 stars review as my family and I were super excited to stay here. During our road trip of 7 nights, we stayed the max nights here hoping to enjoy beach front but it didn't turn out that way.
Good things first - nice oceanside view and feel from the deck and entire indoor. Deck is pretty spacious to enjoy oceanside drinks and meal with family. Beds are comfortable. Plety of towels in the bathroom. House has good quality wood flooring which also adds to overall comfort and feel. 10 min drive to Malibu pier and beach.
Now things which I wish I didn't have to write:
(1) Removed 1 star from the review for misleading description and pics. As soon as we checked in, and excitedly went to the ocean side deck and looked down - waves were hitting the boundary of the house structure. We waited for next morning for the tide go back as Eric suggested in his note to me. Tide went back, may be, 12 inches but water still coming to the boundary wall. All the beach chairs and tent we brought for beach sitting had to stay back in the car. (2) Removed 1 star from the review for not following AirBnB's guidelines of disclosing cameras on the property. I saw one camera on the front door (frankly, I am ok with that as I understand that owner has to protect their property from intrusion etc), and another smaller one on the deck. Our semi-privacy on water-facing deck was gone with that small camera-looking device. (3) 1 star removed for being thrifty in amenities & upkeep of the unit despite nightly rent being $1000 - water-mixed toilet handsoap, water-mixed dish soap in kitchen, and water-mixed Garnier shampoo. No bath soap/shower gel provided. One full and one half toilet rolls available for 3 nights stay for a family of four. Rusted legs of dining table and chairs. Ants crawling all over the kitchen counters so we couldn't leave any food out. One of the doors in bathroom tub gets stuck halfway.
