This was the cutest little apartment! From the moment we walked in and felt the fresh breeze and saw the stunning ocean ooohhhh lala. We come down to work with the fire survivors doing therapy groups so after our sessions it was so relaxing to come back and sit on the balcony and hear the ocean waves. It’s an old complex but it’s very clean and has everything you need. Angel the maintenance gentleman was super friendly and helpful. We are coming down and staying again in June. I did feel the earthquake at 5:21 am it was a 3.0 on the grapevine but just a small shake. Oh we also saw a whale, dolphins, and sea lions - thank you for the magnificent stay. We felt so blessed!
We loved our stay at this property to celebrate a birthday on the water. The apartment was clean and well appointed with a beautiful view over the ocean. We brought our own food and the kitchen was fully equipped. The managers were welcoming and responsive though we had no issues while there. The end of the pier was still closed during this visit but otherwise we had a great stay, including visiting the grounds of nearby Adamson House nearby. We will definitely hope to stay here again in the future.
Location location location. the Balcony on the beach Made it worth it. But the property is in need of a facelift.

We visit this location every year. It’s the highlight of our year. Amazing restaurants, view, and morning coffee patio. Angle is amazing and we appreciate seeing him in very year! Thank You!
Our third time staying here!! The locaation is great, the unit is perfect and has everything you need and is well kept!! Host is very friendly and we will be back again for sure!!!
Beautiful views right on the water. Loved being able to do morning yoga on the balcony watching the sunrise over the water. We saw seals and dolphins and beautiful seabirds. Exquisite. We had some issues with our water heater but host was super responsive and fixed the issue at superhuman speed!
This was our second time staying here and we can’t wait to come back for a 3rd time! It's magical. Angel greeted us and helped us get settled and oriented. He's always very friendly and helpful.
I stayed here with my family for our annual girls trip and it was wonderful! The gentleman that welcomed us was super nice, and the location and view - beautiful! Everything was fresh and clean. The property gate made us feel very safe, and I loved that there was a garage for our rental. I wish we could have stayed longer. Would definitely return!
The setting was picture perfect. I met a gentleman in Hawaii in the month of October and we agreed to meet halfway him coming in from Arizona and me coming in from Seattle Washington.We could walk to the Malibu pier. We ate there on two different occasions same restaurant. Then we ate at the beautiful I believe it's called the carbon restaurant in The Lovely Hotel right next to the cottage we were at. Drove to Santa Barbara for the day, and my favorite riding the ferris wheel on the Santa Monica pier. We even drove over the pier to the parking lot. Spectacular place to get away. Host and Hostess and Angel were so communicative. Don't let this little spot of paradise steer you in any other direction but here. Thank you so much for a lovely, lovely time
Angel met us when we arrived and showed us our unit as well as the beach access points. My boyfriend and I stayed 3 nights and had an amazing time! We walked to restaurants, hung out on the beach, and spent most of the time on the balcony watching the waves and just enjoying the peace. We highly recommend the sandpiper unit!
