The photos do not do justice to this house. It is much nicer a true Malibu experience. Communication with Anita is easy-she responded quickly to our questions. There is an ocean view from the living room, deck, and wrap around balcony off the master bedroom. The 4 bedrooms are lovely and spacious with 2 bathrooms in the hallway and a private bath in the master suite. There is also a half bath next to the dining/kitchen area. All very convenient. The kitchen has everything you need. The fireplace in the living room and steam room were nice extras that we enjoyed. There is a grocery store a very short walk away. We enjoyed walking to Point Dume State Park, hiking the trails and beach. And, we walked to the private beach, using the gate key provided. This was a very special vacation to celebrate Christmas and New Year's with our 3 adult children and partners which we will always remember fondly.
