Lookout Rd Malibu

Overall the property was great! Location was wonderful and outdoor spaces really nice. I feel that the listing was a bit of a stretch in terms of being able to sleep 9 comfortably, but the 3 bedrooms and beds were lovely, especially the master. It lost a star for me because the house could use a deep clean-ceiling fans, carpets, some bathroom areas… Garage access was awesome, and the house was bright and open. Good choice for time in Malibu and easy access to surrounding area!

Can't beat the view!

This was a lovely property in the hills of Malibu, where we were attending a wedding. The house was perfect for our needs, well stocked, with great communication from the owner. You really can't beat the view (from the top!), and the property has beautiful gardens to boot. The tricky part is getting up to house - coming from the flat midwest, the road up to the house is steep and windy, which was an adventure in itself. I appreciated the notice from the owner that rideshares can be hard to come by, so we rented cars and scaled it ourselves. Location was great as well - low key, and close to some lovely restaurants along the coastline.

Mountain home!

Danielle was amazing. First time we ever stayed/booked a VRBO and she made it such an easy experience, always quick to respond and answer all of my questions. Beautiful view from the house. Spacious living quarters.

Beautiful property. Clear communication. Highly recommend.

We stayed here for 4 nights at the end of January. The house, deck, and garden are beautiful. Communication with Danelle before, during, and after our stay was easy and she was very helpful. Our group hiked trails nearby and hung out at the house. It had everything we needed. Everyone in the group was very happy. I would highly recommend booking this property.

Why they chose this property

Our backyard is one of the most special perks of this property. We have had several people get married in our back yard because they fell in love with the quaint garden vibe sitting in the Malibu Mountains. (Please ask permission in order to host an event, since we do have limitations) Eat lemons, limes and other fruit fresh from the garden!

What makes this property unique

Our home is located near two of the most famous hikes in Malibu- The Solstice Trail and Backbone Trail. Enjoy Malibu ocean views for miles in the untouched wilderness. We are also 3 miles from the beach and within 12 minutes of all major shopping/grocery stores. Our mountain is famously known because many car commercials have been shot on our road up to the house.
