Perfect Malibu Location Literally on the water.

We stayed for two nights on a trip to SoCal. The bungalo is literally over the beach with waves crashing undetneath. What a wonderful way to fall asleep. Perfect for two. Might be cozy for four - the couch opens to a bed. The bungalo is a little worn, but that is the nature of a house ovet salt water. It was clean, and had all the necesities. The deck is a perfect place to watch the sunsets. There are steps from the deck to the water. There is not much of a beach right there, its exposed at low tide. But there are wider beaches nearby. Close to famous Malibu resturants. Grocery stores nearby. LA museums are about a 40 minute drive away.

Mom and Daughter Get-a-way

On the ocean! The crashing waves lulled us to sleep every night. It was the get a way I so needed. The bungalow was perfect for us - Our goal is to make this spot every year from now on.

Great Get-a-Way

Perfect for adults who wants a quiet beachfront getaway. If you love the sound of the waves, this place is for you! Property was nice and off the street enough so the PCH wasn't too noisy. I don't think we could have heard any Street noise anyway as the high tide was pretty intense. You can walk the beach but have to go during low tide times and you can Google when that is. Easy access to the beach from this unit. Cruz was very accessible and helpful.

Great experience on the beach in Malibu

Lovely, tranquil apartment on the sand. Spectacular view. Older Malibu charm. The photos and description in the listing were completely accurate. Only negatives: skimpy and cheap kitchen utensils, and cigar smoking neighbor.

Definitely staying here again

We had a great time staying in this bungalow. It was very clean and right on the beach. It could not have been better. I think it's great for couples but more than 2 or 3 people it might feel crowded. Loved it for a couple's weekend getaway and definitely plan to stay here again later this year. The management was very friendly & helpful. Highly recommend this property.

Malibu in July

We enjoyed this beachfront bungalow. It was comfortable for the two of us and we loved being on the beach and listening to the waves. They do crash under the house during high tides. Property was clean and just as pictured and advertised. Check-in was convenient and trouble free.

The Perfect Place !!

The place is heavenly, your on the water and the view is unbelievable. The property manager Valerie Zingaro is the best. She answered all of my questions and gave great information about the area. Valerie makes this bungalow easy to rent. The pictures does not do this place justice- it’s much more of a story that the pictures can tell. Will definitely go back.

Very clean, just as pictured, amazing location

We had a wonderful time. The cottage was as described and well maintained. We enjoyed the beach and there were plenty of shops and eateries within walking distance. The parking lot is small, if you have a large SUV be aware that getting in and out will be a tight squeeze. Hope to make it back!

Perfect Location near the pier and restaurants

The location of the bungalow was ideal. Near the pier and restaurants. There is a private parking lot with assigned spaces. Perfect for smaller cars, we have a large truck and found it a little tricky navigating in and out of the parking lot. Bungalow itself is clean and located right on the beach. There is a gas fireplace which is lovely. There are private steps to the beach from the deck. The owner was very quick to respond to any questions.

Charming cottage on the beach

This property is a great value. We did an impromptu trip to beat the heat and loved our stay here. The bed was super comfy and there are two AC units to keep cool. Huge TV and fold out sofa for watching Netflix at night. There is a foam pad to use on top of the sofa mattress (which most folks know aren’t so comfy), so my teenage son had a good night’s sleep too. You are so close to the waves it’s unbelievable. On high tide (new moon) they actually come up under the house. Short walk to Nobu for lunch or dinner or the Malibu market restaurant on at the pier. Would stay again for sure. Very quiet beach!

Great place on the beach

A fantastic place with wunderful view of Malibu Pier! The kitchen was well equiped and bathroom as well. Would have been a five star if the extrabed/sofa had a better madras. It might work well for children that weight less than 25 kg.
