This is a fantastically positioned spot for those looking to enjoy Malibu's abundant hiking trails and beaches. As the listing suggests, the house is within walking distance of the Backbone trail, which is really cool, and only 20 minutes to beaches. The views are amazing and the upper deck was our favorite for morning and night! Lori and William (and Sadie, their sweet dog), were so welcoming and they really have thought of EVERYTHING to make your stay comfortable. It was pretty hot while we were there and they had plenty of refreshments in the fridge to quench our thirst while we were there.
