Disappointed with the property, location, weather, and lack of communication.
The place looks nice in the pictures, but the reality was completely different.Ants were everywhere- i have a video that i can share , the pull-out couch was extremely uncomfortable, impossible to sleep on it and water was splashing directly onto the balcony.On our last night, there were road closures and an expected mudslide. When we called the emergency line, they advised us to leave the area immediately if we had a flight to catch at LAX the next day. We had to gather our belongings quickly and evacuate. I reached out to the owner for guidance but never received a response.If you're dreaming of a stay in Malibu, you may want to think twice before booking this place.

Wonderful Vacation in Malibu
These properties on Carbon Beach are truly secret gems. Malibu really is one of favorite places and to be able to stay in a place and literally wake up on the beach hearing the waves all day and night is priceless. The staff is responsive and the units are very cute and clean and I cannot stress enough how wonderful the location is. You have the cross creek shops less than a mile away , the pier, Nobu,etc. You’re also far enough east to venture into Santa Monica pretty easily if you want to. I have stayed in several of these units , and plan on continuing to return. We spent my birthday and Thanksgiving there this time and it was magical.

Upstairs Neighbors
The property was very nice, great location, clean, and felt safe. However, the neighbors upstairs either had a very large dog running and jumping around or an adult was moving and stomping/running around all hours of the night making sleep difficult. (I know this is not the fault of the VRBO). But for the price I/we were hoping for a little bit more "quiet" at night.

Beautiful view!
Absolutely gorgeous location with an amazing view right on the beach. Morning sunrise was stunning. The property was all we needed and just sitting on the porch with the sound of the waves was so relaxing. The pier was a great place to eat and just down the road were other great places. It was a bit hard to find at night but the traffic was usually light.

If you’re looking for an oceanfront vacation, this is the place for you. If the ocean was any closer you’d need a bathing suit to eat breakfast. This cozy apartment is ideal for two. It’s an old building but well maintained. It’s located right on the Pacific Coast Highway but road noise was not an issue. The only noise is the sound of the Pacific Ocean.

Angel
Angel was on site to set us up with all we needed. He was a tremendous help during our whole stay and went above and beyond for us. The condo its self was ok. Had a gas leak issue, which Angel fixed immediately. If I stay in this complex again I may stay in a different condo, but my decision to pick this complex again will be because of Angel and how wonderful he is.

Best location!
Coming to Malibu for a few days of rest and relaxation required a house that was close to the beach. This property checked all the boxes. It was perfectly sized for my husband and I, it had everything we needed so we didn't have to pack a lot of extra stuff and the location couldn't have gotten any better! It was easy to find, close to restaurants and attractions, either a short walk or short drive. The owner and caretaker were wonderful, I highly recommend this rental!

Great location, fantastic view on the waterfront. But the state of the apartment is very different from the pictures. It’s old, noisy, humid…

Relaxation at its Finest!
What a relaxing, stress free weekend we had!! Perfect way to celebrate our 10 year anniversary!! The crashing waves and that ocean breeze melted all my stress away! To be able to just walk out on the balcony at any given moment, with my cup of coffee was amazing! And walk down a few steps to a private, non-crowded beach?! Amazing! Everyone should do this at least once in their lifetime! Property was cozy, comfy, perfect temp!

Honest apartment with everything you need; priceless location.
That we return to Sandpiper says a great deal. It's not a smoked-glass gin palace, just a good, honest waterfront apartment - with exactly the same views of the Pacific and its wildlife as places costing ten times as much. Perfectly-placed to wander out for lunch or dinner at Malibu Farm Cafe or Restaurant, just-right beach walks, or to local shops. It's minutes drive from the Malibu Country Market shopping centre (and celeb-spotting...), a few minutes more to Malibu Seafood, and fish & chips every bit as good as anything you'll find in the UK (although some fish you won't find in Grimsby...). Take ear plugs - the Pacific waves crash directly under the balcony, and rush hour traffic noise can feed through to the bedroom in the back. Meanwhile, property manager Angel is never more than minutes away from being able to answer questions. Secure parking is a blessing - it can get a bit mad and cluttered on the PCH.

Beautiful week in Malibu
This beach condo is the perfect location and the right size for two people! Located close to the Malibu pier where you can watch surfers catch some waves, dolphins swim on by or find some yummy food at a nearby restaurant. The condo is older and needs updating and repair but the location is everything. Great communication from the seller and Angel is there if you need anything. Thank you for a most enjoyable stay at your beach condo.

This was an amazing place to getaway to for the weekend. It was our 24th Anniversary and she absolutely loved the rental. The waves crashing all day and night is so relaxing. Only one suggestion, upgrade the mattress. The bed was too firm for my liking.

Decompression
We normally do family spring breaks but our schedules didn’t coincide. I called my sister, we enjoyed the property schedule free and enjoyed the beach. It was difficult parking as the spaces were small and we had an SUV. The tide was really high at times. I would recommend this property and host.
