Malibu Beach House Private Beach Last Minute DEAL!

I would go back again and again! I was lucky to get the dates and times it presented and I took it! So glad I did! The waves cleared my mind and the sunset was beautiful. The beach walk was so peaceful and I felt like it was just my personal ocean (hardly no one in sight). Thank you Amber for allowing me the opportunity to stay in this castle! I will be back!

Modern Beach Front Bungalow

Our family absolutely loved this house as a way to spend a week for Spring Break. The beach is basically private and the house as beautiful, not to mention absolutely loaded with Beach chairs and games/toys to use for the kids. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking. Kids room was fun for the kids to all be in their own space.

Newly Remodeled Surf Cottage Footsteps to Ocean

4.97 out of 5 average rating, 152 reviews3 days ago

We had a beautiful Easter weekend at Davids place! The location is absolutely perfect—just a block from the beach and within walking distance to everything you might need. The home is super cute and sits right on the corner. It felt like our own little oasis. One of the best perks was the private parking—no stress about finding a spot, which is such a luxury in a beach town. The outdoor areas were amazing, and we made full use of them throughout the weekend. The interior had the perfect beach vibe! Comfy beds and the home was super clean. The garage had toys that kept my granddaughter busy busy busy. The backyard was ideal for our Easter Egg hunt—spacious, well-kept, and just added to the charm of the home. I honestly can’t say enough good things about David's place. If it’s available, don’t hesitate—book it!

NEW! Beach Front Coastal Living

4.98 out of 5 average rating, 46 reviews5 days ago

This home is a treasure in a really lovely place. Couldn’t recommend the accommodation or the immediate area more. Glenn was very helpful when I was booking. There is a large grocery store within a short drive. The house is furnished and decorated well, the kitchen equipped for cooking and baking. The appliances all work well. I think the house has been renovated so that three were made one- so the layout is a tad bit unusual but we appreciated having spaces for all.
