Enthusiastic recommendation for this joint! It's only a five-minute walk (or two-minute, fun golf cart ride) to a gate to a secluded, off-leash-dog-permissive Malibu beach. That's pretty much all we needed. The house was extremely clean and well-organized, and the private outside area is especially great around the fire after sunset. Also, the large couch and even larger TV are perfect for movies and just hanging out together. We had a great time.
