This rental is a fantastic experience. You have never seen something like Darell’s place. It’s teeming with exotic plants, Caribbean decor, romantic lighting, butterflies, humming birds and lizards. It feels like you are in another world. While the cottage is small, it packs a big impression with piles of dvds, ample (and gorgeous) outdoor space, an outdoor tub, jacuzzi and private hammock. Also, the location couldn’t be beat. Topanga canyon is stunning and you are minutes away from the closest beach, Malibu and Santa Monica.
Pro tips:
-Pack light. You walk up a few flights of outdoor stairs to get to the cottage. There also isn’t much space for big bags inside.
-Remember there is no AC (this is in the listing) but it made for some warm nights
-Cell service is non existent (but WiFi is available)
-The owner has the coolest thrift shop called Hidden Treasures and it’s worth a trip!!
-Check out In of the 7th Ray for brunch or dinner. This restaurant is in the canyon and so beautiful, earthy and delicious! One of the most unique dining experiences I’ve ever had.
