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!

We adored this place!

My twin sister and I spent a relaxing weekend, listening to the waves and walking on the beach to celebrate our 50th. You can’t beat the location and the views. You can walk to restaurants or take a short drive to the Malibu Country Mart. We enjoyed the fire at night and had morning coffee on the deck and down on the beach! I would definitely stay here again!

This was our second time at this complex and this unit is amazing... The deck is huge. The location and views are spectacular. FYI: if you want your car to fit in the garage, get a very small one.

Amazing views

We loved staying at the Sea Lion! The deck was beautiful and lots of good places to eat. Just a note to bring ear plugs and eye masks if anyone is sleeping on the pull out couch as the waves are quite loud and there is no blind on the sliding door.

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!

Great location, beautiful views.

The place is close to everything, perfect location, but the inside needs some updating. The sliding glass door was almost impossible to open, and our fridge had water dripping inside on its shelves.

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
