Perfect location

Awesome condo right on the beach, with its own gated parking! Bring Quarters for the washer/dryer and Zip Loc bags for all your food, as sugar ants found there way in our first day. The property was very clean, though, and our family will definitely be back!

The View and beach position fabulous.

The deck and the view are the winners here. Angel is the hidden treasure. At beckon call for everything and so pleasant and accommodating. I would like to stay here again. A little upgrade of bathroom and living room comfortable seating would be a bonus.

Leave your soundscape app at home. It is unnecessary! Beautiful view as well. I think having more than 2 people might be a challenge as there is only one bathroom. We were greeted upon arrival, and more than once we were checked upon to see if everything was okay. We will retutn!

January escape

My husband and I had a wonderful time staying in Malibu and in this cute abode to close out the end of a very cold & grey January back home in the Midwest. It was just what we needed. The property managers were wonderful to work with and very responsive. The unit is outfittted with everything we needed and we appreciated how clean and fresh everything was. We felt like we were staying literally “in” an aquarium with the ocean and sealife just outside our door. We enjoyed dolphin watching every morning and watching the various sea birds. Thank you to the hosts and we have this on our “must return” to list.

Malibu

Location, location, location. Sight and sound of the waves so close to the balcony was lovely. Also, great proximity to the pier, restaurants and hiking. Perfect spot if you are a surfer with first point in walking distance. The property itself is a little worn. The bathroom could use an update. However, it was clean and nice linens provided. What we were expecting by the pictures and considering the price. Staff was very pleasant and helpful!

Paradise!

Our expectations were met and surpassed in every way. The ocean at high tide literally crashes beneath the apartment. The lights on the pier, and stretching south east towards LA, compete only with the sun and the moon. Thank you Angel, Sam, the housekeepers, and Sue. PCH1 is not for the faint of heart, but the 1950s charm of the two story buildings and the beach at your backdoor are utterly impossible to forget!

Wonderful stay in Malibu! The location is prime, walking distance to the pier, beautiful beaches and THE VIEW is incredible!!! We loved seeing harbor seals from the balcony and enjoyed morning beach walks. Access to the water and beach was right at our doorsteps. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is due to some maintenance issues like the smell of gas while attempting to preheat the new oven (staff was very responsive and helped us right away), a chirping smoke detector and a faulty kitchen light. However, management was wonderful about addressing our concerns promptly.We are hoping to return!

Beach Bliss!

What a great place! Close to lots of great restaurants, Whole Foods, the Pier and shopping. If you like walking on the beach, hanging out on a roomy balcony, watching a beautiful sunset, listening to the waves crash over the rocks, this is the place to be! Clean place, helpful staff (Angel is so nice!), and easy parking! Will definitely return!

Beautiful Views, Terribly Outdated Condo

While the views were gorgeous and location was perfect for walking to the pier, we were quite dissapointed with the condo itself. We paid luxury prices (500/night) and sadly this rental is very outdated. The floors are in need of replacement and were terribly scraped up and cheap vinyl peeling off (not hardwood floors as described). The tile in the bathroom floors were cracked, there were stains on the toilet, the shower tiling is falling apart and the shower head was not grouted to the wall and hanging there. All the furniture was in need of replacement, with the dining table covered in stains and scrapes, and the living room table is wicker and is so filthy you can see all the dirt and sand in the crevices. There were no curtains in the bedroom and a very bright light outside that was on all night and illuminated the entire room, so we weren't able to sleep well. The kitchen was clean, but there is no dishwasher and all the kitchen pots/pans/etc. Is well used and needs replacing. All in all, we enjoyed the views and location, but for the luxury price we paid, we were expecting a much nicer condo.

Wavolicious

It's like you are on a cruise ship! The view and the sound of the ocean waves are incredible. Bed is comfortable and the size of the unit was perfect. Loved the fireplace as it was a bit chilly when there. Any issue we had (and there were very, very few) was quickly handled. Only challenges are if you have a larger size car very difficult to fit in the garage and if you like to cook bring your own knives - these did not cut well but the manager did say he would get new. We would definitely rent this unit again.

Dreamy Solo Trip

I stayed in another unit of theirs a few years back with my mom, and absolutely loved the location. So I booked a solo trip for myself to unwind for a few days and that's exactly what I did. Relaxed, napped, cooked, read - all to the sounds of the waves crashing. You honestly feel like you're in an aquarium or on a cruise ship with the proximity to the sea. Not to mention such a perfect location for walking to the lagoon, the pier, and even shop at Malibu Country Mart, which was especially important for me, as I didn't have a car this trip. Will definitely return. 10/10
