We had a wonderful 6 night stay at Melissa's house. We were two families with three children ages 4 - 7 between us. The layout of the house was spacious and between the pool and yard, the kids had plenty of places to play. The kitchen was well equipped and the grill worked perfectly. The house is also convenient to beaches, hikes, shops, restaurants, etc. Everything felt very clean on our arrival and communication before and during our stay was a breeze. If you are considering Malibu for a vacation, I would definitely recommend Melissa's house.
