The beach! The view! The location! I chose this spot for those three reasons. All three reasons were exactly what I wanted out of this stay and it delivered! You cannot beat the ocean waves crashing and coming right up under the property. Beach access was easy and convenient. Beach accessories were easy to grab out of the dedicated garage. The patio was large and pretty "little" dog safe (minus a few little spots of trellis that were broken off around the base. Easy to grab the bedroom trash bin to block it off. Speaking of bedrooms... both well appointed. Just one closet for hanging items in the second bedroom. Both bedrooms had a dresser.Kitchen also well stocked with what you might need. Cozy couch. Shower/tub might be hard for some people to access. Good shower pressure and temperature. The Dolphin does have some wear but it is the beach afterall. The property itself was well maintained.Host Angel was great!I'd book it again!

Firstly, the views from this place are incredible. You take a holiday here for exactly this. Relaxing by the sea, listening to the waves. The location is unbeatable so that’s incredibly positive. The staff are great also.However it needs some modernisation. The bath is very difficult to get in and out of (borderline dangerous) and the tub is cracked. Looks like it’s been repaired with tape several times. General condition of the property is pretty bad. Cracked bathtub, floor tiles, sliding doors are pretty much on their way out. There is a bad ant problem which meant they were in our bed most nights. They did provide ant traps but it really made us feel unsettled. The view really made up for all the downfalls. If the property under went some maintenance I would definitely return.

Malibu get away

We loved the place it was such a great location to be right basically on the ocean! Only complaint was the bath tub I am 5ft tall and had to climb over the side of the tub to get in the shower! Other than that place was clean and location was great! We loved walking to the Malibu pier !

Perfect beachfront location

You can't get closer to the beach and loved the sound of the waves at night as we went to sleep. It's a great place and very sweet beachy decor. The property manager was terrific as well. Only area of development would be having a dishwasher in the unit.

Always one of our favorite places to relax

Angel, the property manager, will take great care of you. this beach house is perfect - nothing fancy but everything you need to just relax. It's nearby many great restaurants and the grocery store is five minutes away. We've stayed here a few times now and will keep coming back. Our favorite part is "coffee with the dolphins" every morning1
