This is a really spectacular location - you get to be right in the centre of Malibu, a few minutes from the pier, but due to the way the coast works, the beach in front of the house is pretty empty throughout the day. You do get people walking up and down, but it feels private, especially in the morning and evening. It's just spectacular to have the waves right in front of you, though be aware that you have the sound of the road as well as the sea at night. However, this didn't bother me at all. The whole stay was completely mesmerising and the space is larger than the photos make it seem. In summary: treat yourself!
