50 year college reunion
Everyone enjoyed listening to the ocean. We knew there were a lot of stairs and we were fine with that. Uniqueness of the surroundings was fun for us. Had enough bathrooms, plug-ins and excellent water pressure. Beds were comfortable and didn’t miss heat or have need for A/C. Very nice. We were close enough to our university and places to eat.

The most beautiful view from every room!
Gathering for a family wedding. Location heavenly. House comfortable and accommodating for all. Everyone loved their individual rooms and the living room was large with comfortable seating for all. The kitchen was easy to use and well stocked for food preparation. We all enjoyed breakfast while taking in the expansive views of the pacific. Clean, cozy and quirky enough for magical memories. Hope to gather there again one day.

This is our second time staying at this fun house. I will never tire of the view from the living room watching dolphins swim by. I discovered even more quirks of the house the second time around. You will never stay in another house quite like this one.

Unique house, great location!
Great house with really unique features! We enjoyed exploring all the fun features and unique details! The downstairs bar area is spectacular! Everything was clean and roomy, giving all couple ample privacy if they wanted it. The kitchen is a bit outdated, but clean and well stocked. Great location as a home base and an easy 10 min walk down to the local beach. Would highly recommend this place to any friends and won't hesitate to book again on a future trip.

Love this well maintained historic home above the ocea
Vrbo review My three sisters and I loved staying in your fabulous home. We hardly left the property! It’s hard to find a quiet four bedroom/5 bath home like this between Malibu and Santa Monica that is in safe neighborhood within walking distance to beach. Every room was unique and full of creative surprises. We enjoyed cooking in the fully stocked kitchen and dining at the “door table” with the most amazing ocean view. The living room was spacious and comfortable for at least 8 people. We opened the doors and windows to enjoy the sounds of waves crashing and smell the glorious ocean air. The bar was a Hollywood fantasy room. We hope to come back someday as this was our favorite vacation rental yet. It was very clean for an older house. Thank you so much for sharing this one of a kind property.

Unique house by a great beach!
Absolutely had a great 4 day weekend staying in this different but fun house. We had 4 couples in our party so we each had our own room and bathroom. The kitchen is well sotcked to cook anything. The living room was large and airy with seating for all of us to play games. The rental manager left us fans which was super nice as we stayed during a heat wave and the house has no air. I would recommend this house to all my friends and family!

AMAZING stay!
I am obsessed with this house. It was exactly as advertised and we could not have been more pleased. It was so unique and interesting my 3 teenagers absolutely loved it. Very quiet neighborhood less than a 5-minute walk to the beach. !0 min drive to Santa Monica for food and shopping plus stores and restaurants within Pacific Palisades as well. The kids loved having their own bedroom and bathroom and going to sleep and waking up to the sound of waves crashing. The check-in process could not have been any easier and we had absolute;y no need to contact the property manager at all during our stay. We were desperately in need of a relaxing getaway before school goes back after 5 months of being locked in and this was perfect. Very enthusiastically recommend and we look forward to staying there again on future trips. If you cannot handle stairs there is a lot in the house and to/from the beach but we had absolutely no issues.

Unique Home, Memorable Experience, But Post-Stay Deposit Was all Crickets
The good, and this home has plenty of it. Very unique--you will remember this home as opposed to most. The views were great, but most importantly each room was a treasure. A great experience. Also, going to the beach is super easy provided you have no problem with stairs. We even walked down to Gladstone's for a nice dinner, which is an easy walk. The bad, and no big deal if you can deal with these things: driving/parking and stairs. We had no problem at all and it should not be a deal breaker unless you have a family member that can't navigate stairs or no one wants to deal with tight driving and parking situations. The really bad, IMO. Maybe this was an unintentional mistake, but it certainly is concerning given that many people don't routinely follow up with post-vacation expenses on their cards. But after over ten days since our departure, we still had not heard from the property owner about our deposit or the stay at all, and only after a message and phone call to him did we eventually get the full refund of the deposit back on my card. I shouldn't have to and don't want to worry about this type of thing or have to monitor this. I consider it a bigger deal than many would, so take what you want from it.

Yoga teacher, design enthusiast and world traveler born and raised in Los Angeles! I love managing this property on behalf of my family.

Why they chose this property

My family has owned this property for over 20 years. Prior to that, it was owned by a close family friend. My family has lived in the area since the early 1900s.

What makes this property unique

Everyone who steps foot in this house falls in love. It has more character and charm than any house I've seen. Having been built by a famous Hollywood set designer, many of the pieces in the home are parts from old Hollywood movies.
