About this property

Relaxing Topanga getaway: remodeled kitchen/bath, pool, Jacuzzi, close to beach!

Experience the charm of our beautifully remodeled Topanga guesthouse, where modern updates meet cottage style. With a brand-new kitchen featuring a dishwasher and a refreshed bathroom, plus freshly painted interiors, this guesthouse offers both comfort and style. Vaulted ceilings, cozy French doors, and mountain-view decks create a serene atmosphere, while a cozy loft bedroom with a queen bed and a living room with a pull-out queen sofa bed provide ample space.

Step outside to enjoy the waterfall pool, year-round Jacuzzi, and lush rose garden. Nestled in the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, our property is ideal for hiking or biking along scenic trails, yet just minutes from the beach. Malibu is a 15-minute drive, Santa Monica is 15 minutes away, and the beach is only 8 minutes down the road—making this the perfect place to enjoy both mountains and ocean in one day.

We pride ourselves on maintaining a pristine guesthouse, ensuring it's spotless and ready for your arrival. Please note, the pool is unheated from October 1st to June 1st, though the Jacuzzi is available year-round. Our property is in a peaceful neighborhood, so we kindly ask that guests refrain from hosting parties or loud gatherings. Enjoy a tranquil getaway surrounded by nature's beauty and just a short drive from the best of Malibu and Santa Monica.

We had a beautiful and relaxing stay at this cozy house! The space was just what we needed — peaceful, private, and incredibly comfortable. We especially loved the heated pool and Jacuzzi, which made our time there feel like a true getaway. The area was quiet and serene, perfect for unwinding. The host was amazing — very kind, responsive, and made sure we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a relaxing escape!

So relaxing

Booked this cute little place for a staycation with some friends and it was perfect. Super quiet and relaxing while also not being super far from the city. The spa and pool were lovely and the star gazing we did on the deck at night was incredible. I will 100% be rebooking in the future with my family. Plus if you’re a fan of dogs, you might just be greeted by a golden retriever in the morning (but don’t worry if you’re not, Rachel was a great host and will make sure they’re out of the way of you need)

So peaceful

I loved staying here with my 3 children. It was not too far from the beach, but tucked away enough that it was quiet and very relaxing without the busy vibe of LA. The hosts were extremely kind and attentive, but also gave us our space to have great family time. I hope to be back someday!!

A Hidden Gem

Our stay with Rachel was exactly what my husband and I were looking for! The guest house is clean, comfy, private - and the gated backyard area was perfect for our dog. Rachel was friendly, communicative and prompt whenever we needed anything or had a question. The neighborhood is secluded and private. We felt like we were a world away from LA. Highly recommended!

Wonderful Experience

My wife and I stayed at the property with our dog for two nights. This property was perfect, away from the chaos of Santa Monica and Malibu, nestled in the quiet mountains of the Canyon… but only a few minutes drive to everything. We were able to enjoy all that the property had to offer.
