HEAVEN ON EARTH

February 2024 - A month in paradise could not have been more perfect. Truly the best property in Malibu we've every stayed at and plan to enjoy again next year! So beautiful. So manicured. The Love Ranch is even more gorgeous in person. Kara was amazing and available to us as needed. The pool was a perfect temp. The beds were extremely comfortable. The views beyond compare. And the property size and position made us feel alone in a perfect paradise for our annual winter getaway from CO. With Ocean View walks to enjoy just up the private drive. For 2 like us, multiple couples or a family, we could not recommend this amazing, most pristine, gorgeous, comfortable, private home with a gourmet kitchen more highly. An unforgettable, perfect and memorable vacation awaits you! Thank you Kara and Jacques for the best getaway stay ever! And thank you both for sharing with us such a special space. Unforgettable. Priceless.

Fantastic Place!

Kara was wonderful. She is very conscientious and responsive. My partner and I stayed for a week with our kids (16, 13 and 11). The house was perfect for us. It is a beautiful place with stunning views, which are accurately represented in the pictures. The house was clean and stocked with everything we needed. We were very impressed with how well the kitchen was stocked and enjoyed cooking meals in it. We can't recommend it highly enough and would stay again in a heartbeat!

AMAZING

Stayed for 8 days in july with the family ( 4 adults+ 4 kids ). We had a blast. Beautiful property, well maintained and clean. Owners replied quickly and called us when we couldn’t find things. Excellent service. Location is great, the view was the best. Morning coffee in the terrace when everyone is sleeping was so peaceful with bird’s singing. Kids loved the pool and the ping pong tables. Thank you for having us

Beautiful escape

This home is beautiful and better than expected. Kara made sure check in was seamless and left very detailed information. We were so surprised by the beautiful bottle of champagne and fresh flowers. So thoughtful!! Home was perfect for our 10 and 6 year old. It’s so private and it felt like we were at our own personal resort. The owner provided everything we could possibly require . Everyone in our crew slept well and enjoyed every amazing sunrise and sunset. The views are unmatched!! We felt so welcome in the home . We have a wedding in May and home to book another long weekend!

Chilling out in beautiful Malibu

Wow…..such a unique and beautiful home just on the hill overlooking the coast and Santa Monica in the distance. Many tranquil hours chilling in the beautiful garden and pool, with ample sun beds, seating and umbrellas to keep the sun at bay. Kara was a super-helpful host on hand to quickly answer any questions. We loved our stay at the “Love Ranch” and would gladly repeat the experience if we got the chance.

Absolute paradise

From the moment we walked up to this home, we were in love. We celebrated my daughters graduation with friends and family. The home was immaculate, fresh flowers and a kitchen that would make a professional chef envious. The home is much more gorgeous than the pictures! An easy uber drive to everything Malibu has to offer. Incredibly responsive host. 10/10! The best vacation house we have ever had the privilege to enjoy!

Beautiful Views; Comfortable Home

Our family stayed at this beautiful house in Malibu for 10 days. The views in this house surpassed our expectations. The house is well appointed with all the things necessary to make your stay comfortable. The children loved the ping pong table, the trampoline and the pool while the adults enjoyed the comforts of the house and the outdoors. The owner, Kara, is delightful. She answered all of our questions immediately and made sure that nothing was amiss. We would definitely stay at this house again.

Incredible family vacation!

My husband and I spent the week at this property with our 3 children (20, 18, and 16), my in-laws in their 70s, and our niece (16). The home and property are even more beautiful than the photos. The house was spotless and in perfect condition with plenty of space for all of us to enjoy together. Kara and Jacques were incredibly gracious hosts, leaving a bottle of wine and instructions for everything. Kara was responsive and answered any questions we had immediately. The property itself is unparalleled. We enjoyed having our morning coffee on the patio and the kids enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and trampoline. Close enough to LA and other places of interest for a day trip, but far away enough for a restful vacation. Would love to come back!

Lovely Ranch in Malibu

We had a good time at this property. The house is like you see in the pictures, nicely decorated with a really private garden patio and heated pool. Friendly neighborhood and good restaurants near by the house. Kara the owner is all the time in contact with you, also mention that she has a lot of private spaces in the house. The beds were comfortable, the grill was super clean, we enjoyed the house so much!! Thanks Kara

5 Star Property, Considerate, premium hosts

It seemed like we had an entire boutique hotel with beautiful gardens to ourselves. 180 degree Pacific views. 3 bedrooms have Pacific views. Kara was very thoughtful with several special touches. She knew our grandkids would be visiting and she had special pool items for them. Very, well stocked kitchen with a few surprises (espresso) that made each day perfect. Most beautiful property we have experienced...anywhere and the hosts were gracious, helpful, responsive and made us feel at home. From swimming to curling up in blankets watching the ocean or stargazing...love, love, love this place. Mary and Russell

Stunning views, incredible yard, and beautiful home in perfect location

We had the most amazing time at Kara's epic home. The expansive view is the star of this property and it is highlighted in almost every room. The patio and pool area are stunning! There are many comfortable loungers, couches and tables, a fire pit, a pool/spa, a ping pong table - so many places to relax and unwind, all with the most beautiful views. Inside the house, Kara has left so many nice touches that are often missing in other rentals. She provided all bathroom and kitchen necessities (toilet paper, paper towels, baggies, tin foil, etc) and then some! Anything one might use at home is provided here and it is all upscale and luxurious. The mattresses, pillows and comforters were SO comfortable, the shower pressure was great, the kitchen is gorgeous and stocked! The house is so spacious - we all had room to work, play, cook or just relax. There are views from bathtubs, a private patio with a lounger off the master bedroom, a grand piano in the living room! Kara even had cookies delivered to us on xmas! We hiked every day straight from her front door to beautiful trails in the santa monica mountains. The location in Malibu is perfect. It's a very short drive to the beach, Malibu country mart, Santa Monica and Venice. This home reminded us of being on the amalfi coast! We truly hope to be back and in the meantime, will dream about this amazing home, the memories made there, and that heavenly view! Thanks for everything Kara!

An ideal house in Malibu

We absolutely LOVED Kara's house. We have stayed at a number of nice properties over the years, including other homes in Malibu, and Kara's was clearly one of the best we have stayed in. It has stunning, breathtaking ocean views from throughout the house, which is on perhaps the best lot in the entire neighborhood. The neighborhood is really nice as well. There's a 50,000 gallon heated pool that Kara was kind enough to keep very warm for us. The backyard has such nice views that we felt like we were having a picnic at a vista point. The house itself is very clean and comfortable and Kara has thought of everything, including hypoallergenic pillow covers. All appliances, utensils, towels, linen, etc, were of good quality. We have stayed at more expensive homes than this and not enjoyed it as much. Kara's house is definitely a property we would love to return to.

Family Spring Break Getaway

The house was just beautiful, clean, functional and words cannot express the surrounding ocean view your get with this Malibu property, just stunning!! Kara, the property owner was very pleasant to deal with from start to finish on every detail and definitely goes above and beyond to provide ample out door fun and entertainment for family and the little ones too, furniture for lounging by the amazing heated swimming pool or taking in the ocean view!! She was very thoughtful and accommodating with our vacation needs and experience, which, we appreciated just as much as her amazing vacation home, loved every detail :) Thanks again Kara!

On first impression this property from the outside looks uncared for and run down.

On entering the property at first glance it appears tired and unclean. Further inspection found ingrained dirt, dead bugs and stained mattresses. Owners personal possessions had not been removed. Could not secure the property as two patio doors were broken & the owner was obviously aware of this as there was 1 broom handle for security for one door the other door had nothing. Swimming pool and outdoor garden furniture in clean. Bathrooms unhygienic with urine stains.

Summer holidays with a view!

What a lovely place - airy rooms, comfortable beds, good showers, electronic toilets (this detail was incredible!), large very well equipped kitchen (Viking stove!), lovely spacious sitting room and dinning rooms, all with such a breathtaking view of the Pacific Ocean! The garden has a large lawn with flowers of every size and colour with very comfortable lounging chairs, large sun umbrellas, a great pool and hot tub, really good outdoor grll for great outdoor cooking. One of the rooms shares a bathroom with the master bedroom which might not work for some but we managed just fine. There are really good supermarkets within driving distance (10/15mins). The host is very attentive and we had a really good time.

We (family of four) spent a wonderful week here. The views are spectacular, and the pictures don't do the house justice. Such a lovely house, in a nice quiet neighborhood. We could hear the ocean - but not PCH! Loved the pool, yard and patios, and spent most of our time outside. Great location too. Thanks so much for sharing your house!!
