The host was so helpful. The location is lovely, gorgeous deck view and comfy coastal house with excellent decor and all the things you could need. Including welcome snacks, excellent communication, and a delightful stocked kitchen. Parking is a little tricky, quite tight but not a big deal and the neighbor was kind as well.
We had a great time in our stay. The house is as advertised with great views, a great location, and everything. The outside deck is a perfect place to spend the evenings. Check in and out was super easy. Overall, a great place for a Malibu vacation.
Had an awesome stay at this property! Mary was very accommodating and available! Perfect set up for our party of 7. Great location with an amazing view of the ocean!
Mary was the best host! She messaged me the day before I arrived to make sure I had all the information for checkin. The house was immaculate and the perfect location and space for my girls trip!!
This property is perfect for groups looking for space to sit and catch up. The patio and living rooms were so comfortable to reconnect with old friends. The traffic from PCH is loud but the view and outdoor living space more than made up for it! The property manager was responsive and helpful.
We enjoyed our stay! The house has everything you need and is in a great location. There is great hiking nearby, a nice park up the street, the beach, and close to the airport. We love that there were great places to eat just a few steps away -- Country Kitchen for the best breakfast burritos and Duke's. But we really just enjoyed hanging out in the deck. Thank you!! (We did read the reviews about the loud traffic, but it really wasn't too bad. )
This was a fantastic property with beautiful decor and spectacular views of the Pacific ocean. The patio was enormous and had nice furniture with a inviting fire pit and plenty of heaters. Access to the property was easy and the location of property in the middle of Malibu was very convenient. Our only complaint was that there were some old dirty clothes and old groceries left in the property by the previous guests. Also, there were some very noisy dogs in the lower level of the same unit which could be bothersome. Overall, a beautiful property with beautiful views made for a wonderful stay in Malibu.

Hi Jeffery:
Glad to hear u loved our home! Sorry the cleaning crew left the previous guests left items on the counter instead of putting them away until I was able to get them. The dog downstairs is not a barker - found out the tenant downstairs was dog sitting. I do apologize .
Regards,
Mary
We had a blast on our 4th of July stay. The only downside was how noisy it was from all the cars on the street but we kind of expected it going in because we had read the reviews. The view was beautiful. We even got to see some fireworks which we were not expecting. The kitchen had everything you needed to cook. I especially loved the double refrigerator. We also use the barbecue grill which worked great. We were able to roast marshmallows on the fire pit and enjoy the patio at night with the heaters. Overall a very pleasant experience! Thank you so much Mary for letting us use your home. Great memories for our family!

Filthy with mice
Living room furniture was filthy with visible stains including large dog urine stains!
Kitchen chairs which were fabric were also absolutely filthy dirty with stains. Never even sat at the table because they were so gross and dirty.
Bed skirts on both beds were soiled with stains and dirt so bad we needed to remove them from our beds to use beds.
House was shared by a downstairs neighbor which was not told during booking. Their barking dogs woke us up every morning.
Outside patio area had mice running around everywhere which made our stay extremely uncomfortable and upsetting trying to sit outside to eat and have mice crawling around. Absolutely miserable. Not very relaxing to say the least.
My husband to drive 40 mins to a Home Depot to get mice poisoning which was on our expense.
We are devastated at the amount of money we lost on this stay what we thought was going to be a wonderful family time. Caused our family extreme stress and discomfort. We could not wait to leave

Sorry to hear you were disappointed with your stay. We take pride in providing the best hospitality! I would like to address your issues with our house.
Our furniture is all white and they do incur stains from time to time but they are clean.
Yes there is a tenant downstairs but the unit is completely separate as well as the entrance. Guests do not have contact with our tenant.
I investigated the barking dog situation and it turned out to be the rental house next door.
Regarding rodents, the property is backed up against a hill and there is wildlife(but not on deck) therefore we have extermination service biweekly. We have never had this complaint in 6 years. I have never personally seen a rodent on this property. Please submit your receipts and we will gladly reimburse you. Thank you.
Future guests if u have any issues or concerns at any property you rent please contact your host immediately so they can address your concerns during your stay.
This home was ideal for our family! We hosted Christmas dinner for our extended family and had everything we needed to make a big dinner from scratch. There were all of the pots, pans, tools as wells as serving platters, plates, glasses and silverware. The weather was very warm so we enjoyed an ocean view with our meal. Afterward, we had enough space in the living room to hang out and open gifts. We couldn’t have asked for a better home for the holiday!
I would give Mary and her property more than five stars if I could! The location is stunning and the home is very well kept. Mary is very attentive and thoughtful and went above and beyond for us! We miss the house dearly already. Such fond memories were made! We especially enjoyed the patio and the view from it. Perfect stay!
Lovely property Great communication with owner. Comfortable house and outdoor space. Limited parking. Stairs to climb to access the house. Great family weekend.
The property is beautiful and clean and classically beach styled! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the location was magnificent! Will definitely stay there again!
good grandparent set up, but be aware of highway noise
we stayed with our son, daughter-in-law and their two infants, 1.8 year old and 6 months... great living room area and fabulous outdoor deck for dining, grilling, relaxing and and infant to walk around. Great to have Duke's right across the street as then the parents/grandparents could go across and have dinner while two stayed behind to watch infants, and then swap duties..."date night".. the front room can be quite loud at night given pacific coast highway and motor cycles - bring "white noise machines"...
