Perfect Gathering Spot
The property was perfect for our group to stay for a few days while in Malibu. Sebastian was a great host and was super helpful and responsive with our check in and questions in advance of our stay. We especially enjoyed the deck with the fire pit and hot tub and the nice beach. We would be repeat customers!

Fantastic weekend in Malibu!
We had the best weekend at the beach house. The location couldn’t be ideal and we just kept having “pinch me” moments while looking over at the ocean on the spanning deck. The property manager Sebastian couldn’t have been more helpful either - he personally met us when we checked in and went through everything we’d need to know for our stay. Can’t wait to be back!

Best Vacation Ever
We stayed at this property for my birthday and could not have been happier. The house is great and has everything you could want. My kids were in heaven. The beach is gorgeous and private. Incredible views of the ocean from the master and other bedrooms. The only thing to be careful is all the stairs to the house and beach are narrow and steep. Fine for us, a bit hard on our new toddler walker! But we still got him to the beach every day and he ran in bliss. Would love to come back all the time!

We can’t thank the owner of this property enough for sharing this gem of a beach house in Malibu. It was the perfect gathering for my family and friends.

Memorable Malibu Vacation
We had a wonderful and memorable vacation in Malibu. The property is beautiful, and our group of 6 (and dogs) was able to spread out and use every inch. Truly cannot beat the spectacular ocean views from almost every room. Those in our group who were working remotely had Wi-Fi access and breathtaking backdrops. Sitting on the beach steps during high tide is mesmerizing! Additionally, Sebastian was wonderful to work with and Laurie is very accommodating. Highly recommend!

Best beach house in Malibu
This is a great property! Sebastian was easy to work with and I took advantage of his concierge service regarding a chef and massage therapist. Total treat to have these options. There is a bit of wear and tear on the inside(thus the price point) but the outdoor living space completely makes up for this. The beach is a wet beach but we were able to walk anytime of the day! And the people are so friendly. Everyone is out first thing in the morning walking their furry family members. Highly recommend this property!!

Incredible Weekend in Malibu
My family and I stayed for 3 nights and the house is better than advertised! While the interior is fantastic, the deck and beach are what made this a magical long weekend for us. My kids loved hanging out on the deck and playing on the beach with our dogs. Sebastian makes the entire process turnkey and he and Laurie have clearly thought of everything in advance. When a question did come up, Sebastian was immediately accessible and responsive. A huge THANK YOU to Laurie and Sebastian for welcoming us to this special home where we created lasting family memories. We will definitely be back!

Fantastic house with a large deck leading directly onto a sandy beach which is relatively uncrowded. The public spaces are nice, the kitchen is particularly nice.

Great location, amazing views in Malibu!
We had a wonderful stay here at the Beach at Malibu. The views from the kitchen, bedrooms and expansive decks were amazing. We enjoyed having meals and listening to music out on the deck. My 15-yr old son loved having the guest house apartment to himself. Beach access was perfect in the afternoons when the tide was out. We enjoyed the beach accessories provided, played spike ball, took long walks, and did some tide-pooling around the rocks which was fun. Sunsets were spectacular! Sebastian was very responsive and accommodating. He worked with us for a late check-in at 9:00pm. We didn't even take advantage of all the extra services made available to us. We'll be back again in the future!

Fantastic Malibu Getaway!
This Malibu gem was absolutely beautiful. Gorgeous home, well-appointed, comfortable beds, great WiFi (for those moments you have to pull yourself away from the view and work!) and incredible views. You feel totally immersed in the ocean. The huge deck is perfect for parties, dinner, yoga and relaxing. It's not just the house, though, but the service by the property manager, Sebastian, that made it great. He helped us arrange grocery delivery, find a private chef, book massages on the deck, he suggested restaurants and was super accommodating. We usually travel with Inspirato and having Sebastian was like having a personal concierge. We would definitely stay again. One important note: This house is literally on the water and is great for feeling close to the ocean, watching the waves and playing in the waves when it's not too rough. But it is rocky (bring some kind of water shoes) and if you want a beach, there are lots a short drive away. This is not a beach house for young children. The rails are not spaced closely enough to be safe and the water is too close. Otherwise it's DREAMY! Can't wait to book it again!

Perfect vacation in Malibu!
We had a wonderful stay at this amazing property in Malibu. It is right on the ocean and equipped with all the amenities you could want. Sebastian, the property manager was a pleasure to deal with! Before we even arrived, he communicated with us to let us know about an issue that was being taken care of before we arrived. At check-in time, he met us at the house to give a tour and show us everything we needed to know to make our stay perfect. He was extremely responsive to any questions we had during our week stay, anything from restaurant suggestions to questions about the house. Highly recommend this beautiful house to anyone looking for a beach getaway. It is easy to see why Sebastian has such glowing reviews on VRBO.

Great house, under repair.
The beach was washed away by the ocean. Workmen and had to use a ladder to get down to the beach for the first couple of days. It's a nice house. We have stayed hear before. Don't know if the beach will get replenished somehow.

Hi Samuel. Thank you for being a repeat visitor. We are sorry that your second visit had to happen right after the storm that took several homes’ beach stairs out, including our own. We did have our workers rebuild the stairs as fast as possible and appreciate your cooperation in using the temporary ladder in the meantime. You’ll be happy to hear that the stairs have been fully restored with durable treated wood and guests have been able to enjoy easy beach access again. There are two high and two low tides per day. As stated in the listing, the beach can be rocky during times of high tide, but it is normally a sandy, dry beach. The water does come up to the house during extreme high surf. This is the case with all beaches in Malibu. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee specific times but instead we like to refer our guests to the published tide calendar. We also suggest taking a look at our insta account thebeachmalibu for current updates on weather and water conditions. Thanks again for your visit and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again soon :)

Terrific Host, great views, easy-living layout and great SoCal location
Great views and deck; Sebastian is a super host, and the house is really laid out well for entertaining and a great beach week. Lisa the chef and Jacob the masseur were big hits. As add ons. Location was a big plus - near Nobu and LBH. Sonos surround was easy and awesome in all rooms. Smart TVs great for kids. Opportunities: beach is really not walkable in July (tides) so careful on pets; glass railing would really open up the view vs traditional wood, hot tub needs replacing with something more substantial, updated cushions and pillows outdoors would make it wonderful, and some extra beach toys (paddle boards) wouod kaoe the dolphins and sea otters more accessible! We really enjoyed it.

Thank you for your kind words, Adam — it was a pleasure hosting you and your family! We appreciate your feedback and would like to take a moment to respond to it: 1) HOT TUB: you’ll be happy to hear that we are replacing the Softub with a new and improved one this weekend. Unfortunately — due to the pandemic — there was a shortage and we were in a waitlist with the manufacturer for months. 2) RAILING: While glass railing might be beautiful (and we have explored this option in the past), sadly it’s impractical for a rental, as it would require constant cleaning due to the ocean spray and salt water residue, as well as the condensation, which would impair visibility much more than our wood railing. 3) CUSHIONS: The deck cushion were newly reupholstered this year but the storm that also took out the beach stairs (which, as you know, have been rebuilt) has given them a beating and we are only now getting the chance to have them sent out for a professional cleaning due to our busy guest schedule over the summer months. 4) BEACH TOYS: In addition to a large selection of beach toys for the kids, we offer a few boogie boards and a surfboard. Paddle boards and larger equipment can be ordered for delivery from Malibu Surf Shack. We deem it more practical and — more importantly — safer for such equipment to be procured from a professional supplier who consistently monitors the condition of such equipment.

Beautiful Malibu Stay!
What a lovely place to stay in Malibu! Very convenient location - between Moonshadows and Dukes. Perfect for our group: my wife and I, our 2 and 5 year old daughters, her mom and my teenage nephews. The teens loved having their own separate space in the “studio” that had its own refrigerator, shower, TV sitting area and king bed. The deck is perfect for enjoying the beach. The house is very much as advertised and fully equipped for a fun stay on the beach. Sebastian was a terrific host that made us feel at home and was available to answer any questions that came up.

It’s been over a year that grandma was able to see her grandchildren and I can’t think of a better spot for the reunion. The entire family had a wonderful experience. The house itself is really special and perfect for the family. We hosted 5 adults and 3 teens. Everyone met on the deck for all meals and enjoyed eating literally on the beach. When we did venture out, there are many options for meals, shopping, and other activities. Our host is incredible...very helpful, attentive and quick to respond.

Magical week in Malibu winter!
We had an amazing week in Malibu on the ocean with our family. Sebastian made everything super easy and was very communicative, as well as the owner who personally reached out. The house was great, rooms were super comfortable, the views were INSANE (not to mention breathtaking sunset every evening over the ocean). Even though we had cold weather, it was exceptionally magical being there in the winter. So cozy. And the hot tub overlooking the ocean was the perfect way to start the day. We did cook a lot throughout the week (with covid it was extra necessary) and there were some key things missing from the kitchen, and some supplies (like extra paper towels etc that we had to bring from home) but overall we had mostly everything we needed for the week. Thank you for a very special stay!!

CLEAN, beautiful oceanfront home with extra large patio deck overlooking the ocean. Nicely decorated, multi-level home with stairs. Traveled with family (late Sept. 2020), we were all happy with our stay. We used recommended Chef Lisa “PlatesbyLisa”, Farm to Table menu, she provided a beautiful sunset & flavorful birthday dinner for us. Would highly recommend you to use this service. Note: Street parking only, 3 small cars can fit in front of home. Plenty of parking across the street/highway. Top Notch Concierge replied quickly with any questions we had or needed.

Great 4 day vacation with some shortcomings.
My wife and I, our older daughter and son-in law and 17 month old grandson, our younger daughter and her boyfriend, as well as both daughters' dogs spent Labor Day weekend relaxing at this home in Malibu. It was fun but the house would need some maintenance and improvements if we were to consider returning. One stair was loose and a half stair was missing on steps down to the beach creating a potential dangerous situation. There was a disgusting sewage smell, most likely from the septic system, throughout our stay, heaviest near the storage area next to the spa. We had to cancel our BBQ when the unit would not light, the fire pit had to be started manually, and the air conditioning was not cooling the living room/kitchen area (very uncomfortable in the high temperatures over Labor Day and forcing us to squeeze into the bedrooms). There was definitely not enough shade provided on the deck and we constantly had to move the limited number of somewaht heavy umbrellas and bases as the sun moved. There is no bathroom door in the master bedroom, not all windows opened, and we were all disappointed in the limited use of the beach as even at low tide the beach can be used only for walking and swimming (at no time were we able to put a chair or sand toys on the beach which was not disclosed in the VRBO details of the home). The guest suite had no air conditioning in the bedroom, the stairs were very steep (my daughter's 12lb dog feel down them and had to be carried up and down for the weekend, and the sewage smell was very strong when you opened the door to go outside. All of these things combined did not ruin our weekend but it made for a less than perfect COVID-19 escape.

We are glad that you had a great vacation but are disappointed to hear that it was less than perfect. The step on the stairs down to the beach was damaged due to the tide bringing in rocks. Unfortunately, the prior guest did not alert us to this circumstance until the morning of your arrival and it was impossible to procure a replacement step and have it installed over Labor Day weekend. We did immediately address the issue on Tuesday (the day after Labor Day) and the stairway is now in excellent shape again for our guests to enjoy. We are pleased to hear that, despite this shortcoming, you were still able to access the beach. Regarding the smell from the septic tank, I already explained to your son-in-law that the whole community is on septic and, unfortunately, the high temperatures over the holiday weekend, in combination with the direction of the winds, created a less than favorable formula across the whole community. We did, however, have the tank pumped right after the weekend, as we take all concerns seriously. We pride ourselves in proper maintenance, which includes a rigorous septic cleaning schedule. With regard to lighting the BBQ and the fire table, we understand that the amount of information upon check-in can be somewhat overwhelming. This is why we also provide a comprehensive House Manual where we highlight the need to use a stick lighter (of which we provide several) to light the BBQ grill and the fire table. Moreover, I personally showed you how to light both features using the stick lighter during our tour and I also recall explaining this to you over the phone — sadly after the one specific night you had assigned for grilling. We regret this miscommunication. There is an air conditioning unit in the living area and one in each bedroom. These wall units are rather powerful and we have never received complaints about them before. For optimal cooling, we always recommend making sure all windows are closed. The wall unit on the upper level of the guest studio is designed to cool the whole space (including the bedroom) when given a reasonable amount of time. Most of our guests enjoy the ocean breeze during the day and use the A/C units at night. So far, we have never had unhappy guests with relation to this. As far as shade on the deck is concerned, we provide 3 large umbrellas, each for the dining area, the sitting area around the fire table and the tanning chaises on the lower deck. With the spare umbrella you were able to locate on the side of the house (for a total of 4), we feel that you should have had plenty of shade for you and your family. Additionally, we space these umbrellas out in a way that makes sense, so that lifting the heavy umbrella bases should not be necessary. The weighted bases are indispensable given the possibility of strong winds, especially at night. As with most of the other concerns you voiced, we have never received complaints regarding a lack of shading opportunities on the deck, nor any issues with the heavy bases. Lastly, we regret that you were disappointed in the “limited use of the beach.” We clearly state that there are two low tides and two high tides per day and that at extreme high tide the water can come up to the house. We recommend that beach activities are planned around low tide. Most of our guests don’t seem to have a problem working around this, as we always encounter sandy beach toys and beach umbrella anchors. Again, we are pleased to hear that none of these concerns had too big a negative impact on your use and enjoyment of the home and hope you will visit again soon.

Friendly, welcoming, comfortable and lovely house.
This was such a nice place, with super kind and accommodating host (who went out of his way to welcome us and make sure we had everything we needed). The patio is amazing and huge. We had a wonderful time. We saw dolphins every day! I do wish I'd understood that during the time of year we visited (late August), the beach would be rocky most of the time (never had dry sand). This wasn't ideal for our 3 year old. But it still made a lovely home base from which we could easily drive to nearby beaches. Thanks so much!

We will be back!
My family had the most relaxing few days at this beautiful oceanfront Malibu home and we can't wait to come back! The property manager Sebastian greeted us with fresh flowers, chilled wine and fresh cookies to welcome us to the spotless house with its wonderful gathering spaces and spacious, comfortable and quiet bedrooms. He stayed in touch and was so helpful! The house has a vast multi-level deck overlooking the ocean and beach with stairs (and an outdoor shower) down to a rocky beach that you can walk down to a stretch of sandy beach for an afternoon swim, just heaven! The neighbors all came out with their dogs for their evening swim and were welcoming and friendly. The house is a very short drive to Malibu Pier and the Country Mart and other fun local destinations and one night we ordered delicious lobster rolls from a fabulous local place Broad Street Oyster Co. Otherwise we grilled and cooked in the kitchen that has everything you could need including at least four different ways to make your morning coffee (Nespresso, classic espresso, drip coffee maker and french press) plus a filtered water cooler which we really appreciated. Great laundry room, great wifi, 5 TVs with direct TV. Waking up in that incredible master bedroom to the sound of the waves and just sitting and taking in the beauty of the Pacific is incredible. Well managed, beautifully cared for, clean and comfortable, we highly recommend this home. It is our new happy place!

Great pandemic escape
We had a great vacation here. The deck is fantastic, the house was clean. The property was extremely well stocked. The property manager Sebastian put our stay over the top. He answered our questions quickly and accommodated all our requests. The beach is, as advertised, rocky when the tide is high. But bring some water shoes and there’s a private, sandy beach just a few houses over.

Great Property, amazing deck with outstanding views, and outstanding host!
This property was a perfect beach vacation for our family. We stayed for a month and enjoyed every minute! The house is just as it looks, open and modern and the deck is huge with gorgeous views. Everyday we would see dolphins jumping and birds and seals. The deck has easy access to the beach for long walks and in the morning or wine walks in the evenings. Our guests absolutely loved staying in the guest house with a separate entrance and privacy. When we arrived, we were greeted by our extremely gracious concierge Sebastian. He spent as much time as we needed showing us through the house and answered all of our questions.. He secured an outstanding Chef that cooked a 4 course Italian dinner for us at sunset on the beautiful deck. He also provided us with other services re requested such as a housekeeper and masseuses when needed. I couldn't have had better response and service! I would highly recommend this property!
