About this property
Casa di Pietra by Stay Awhile Villas
Summary:
Casa di Pietra — A Stone Sanctuary Above the Pacific. Perched along one of Malibu’s most dramatic stretches of coastline, Casa di Pietra feels less like a vacation rental and more like a private Mediterranean estate transported to California’s golden coast. Wrapped in handcrafted stone and overlooking the endless blue of the Pacific Ocean, the villa occupies a rare blufftop setting where the rhythm of the waves becomes the soundtrack to every moment.
The Space:
From the moment you arrive through the private motor court, the home reveals itself slowly—warm stone walls, sweeping ocean vistas, and the unmistakable feeling that you have discovered a place both timeless and extraordinary.
Designed to celebrate Malibu’s seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle, Casa di Pietra unfolds across terraces, lawns, and gathering spaces that seem suspended above the sea. The expansive rooftop terrace offers one of the property’s most unforgettable vantage points—an elevated perch where sunset dinners unfold against a horizon that melts into the Pacific. Down below, outdoor lounges and dining spaces invite long afternoons of conversation, ocean breezes, and the quiet luxury of simply being present.
An alfresco kitchen and entertaining area anchor the outdoor experience, while a striking stone fireplace becomes the natural gathering place once the sun slips beneath the water. Adirondack chairs positioned along the bluff invite guests to watch dolphins glide past, surfers tracing lines across the waves below, and Malibu’s legendary sunsets painting the sky.
Inside, the villa’s architecture reflects a sophisticated balance of coastal elegance and old-world craftsmanship. Rich stone textures, expansive glass openings, and thoughtfully designed living spaces frame the ocean from nearly every angle, creating an atmosphere that feels both refined and deeply connected to the surrounding landscape.
Yet what truly defines Casa di Pietra is its setting. Few homes offer this degree of privacy while remaining moments from Malibu’s most iconic destinations—from Nobu and Soho House to scenic drives along the Pacific Coast Highway and the quiet beaches that define this legendary stretch of California coastline.
Whether hosting unforgettable sunset dinners on the rooftop terrace, gathering around the outdoor fire beneath a canopy of stars, or simply waking to the sound of waves below the cliffs, Casa di Pietra offers something increasingly rare: a sense of escape that feels both luxurious and deeply authentic to Malibu itself.
Professionally managed by Stay Awhile Villas, Malibu’s premier luxury vacation rental company, every stay is elevated by personalized service, concierge experiences, and the confidence that every detail has been thoughtfully considered.
At Casa di Pietra, the Pacific is not simply a view—it is the experience.

Sean and his group were great guests, easy to communicate with, respected the home and property and left the house clean and organized. They are welcome back anytime!
We had a lovely stay at Casa Di Pietra. Tom is a good clear communicator. I would definitely recommend this home for a very relaxing vacation.
Thank you Tom
This house is a spectacular venue to experience the joy of oceanfront living in Malibu. Spectacular amenities- pool, rooftop deck with fireplace, grill and outside dining and awesome master suites with oceanfront balconies. Close to restaurants and shops but an amazing private setting at the end of a winding driveway off PCH. Tom was exceptionally responsive and extremely helpful with any question. A wonderful few days by the ocean!!
The best of both worlds: as you enjoy the outdoor space, the view is insane with dolphins swimming nearby. If you walk down the terrace a bit, to the left is a fairly private beach to find shells and to the right is a more active surfer's dream. After dinner, don't miss the rooftop fireplace for sunset and expansive views. The best part was sleeping with all the doors open - you can hear the ocean waves crashing and there is always a cool breeze. This is perfection!
Can’t say enough about this property! Had my wedding here and all anyone could talk about was how amazing the home and view was! We felt like we were in heaven! And Tom was amazing!

Wonderful!
This property is absolutely breathtaking with a beautiful view of the ocean and the coolest features (Heated pool and floors, universal sound system). I helped plan an event here and the property manager, Tom, was willing to answer all my questions every step of the way. I would definitely recommend staying here.
Beautiful private gated estate with access to a beautiful quiet beach. Home was very clean with all basic necessities and more. Pool and hot tub were constantly heated and easy to use. Views are second to none. Property manager truly goes above and beyond to accommodate And make the duration of the stay as enjoyable as possible. Would highly recommend!!!

Ryan and his family were excellent guests for their entire vacation.
Responsive, polite and considerate; easy to communicate with and respectful of the house and property.
I highly recommend them as future guests!
Gorgeous home with stunning views! This is hands down the best VRBO experience we’ve had and we’ve had some good ones. The home is very luxurious. It has every amenity you could possibly want and so much more. We had a party of 7 and everyone absolutely loved this place, from the heated toilets to lavish bedrooms.The kitchen and the outdoor kitchen are spectacular! Perfect home to entertain in. It was awesome listening to the ocean from the master bedrooms. The host was very welcoming and facilitates a hassle free experience, easy check in process. Definitely recommend!

Lovely Views But Home Needs TLC
This is an incredibly special property in terms of its views of the ocean. However, the property needs some TLC. Doors are hard to lock, lights and ceilings are in need of care, and the floors are scrapped. Towels and sheets were mismatched. The lawn is great to have, but you cannot have kids on the grass as there is plentiful bunny poop! Net-net, a really beautifully designed property, with an easily accessible property manager, but home is not "luxury" in terms of the interior. The views are though!
My family stays in Malibu a few times every year and always right on the beach. This is the most secluded we have stayed and they pool was perfect and very warm. The beach is just a private path, NOT hundreds of steps down a bluff. Its perfect. You will see the doors mentioned in another review. Yes they are different but they always opened up and the place was great! Kids loved the media/movie room and with the Control4 systems everything worked easy. That's a FIRST! Yes its pricey but you pay what you get for! Do it! Home is on the Northern side of Malibu which I preferred as you get almost no one on your beach!
