There are always new shops opening nearly every day.

Other Things to Note:
test Please message our team and speak with the Home Manager before booking. Mandatory additional terms may apply depending on your booking platform. Credit card processing fee may be required post-booking. In case of cancellation, the stated booking cancellation policy applies.

To maintain property and neighborhood harmony, we have important rules. Please read carefully.

1) No parties, visitors, or unapproved guests. Submit all guest names before booking. Government ID may be requested from the person who booked. A guest is anyone who will spend any amount of time at the property. Our strict guest policy ensures neighborhood peace and legal compliance. Exceeding capacity risks our permit, we may ask you to leave.

2) No pets allowed except for service animals as required by law.

3) No smoking, vaping, e-cigarettes, or similar (outside and indoors). Our state-of-the-art smoke detectors notify the fire department - $500 fee for false alarms or rule violations. City Code Section 41.50 B 18 b | High Brush Fire Zone | Prevent Wildfires | It’s the LAW.

4) Do not send mail to property before or after your reservation dates. If needed, send it to our office; we'll deliver to the property on your arrival day. We're not responsible for lost mail.

5) Quiet hours: 10:00pm to 8:00am to ensure peaceful atmosphere for all guests and neighbors. Property is located on Pacific Coast Highway. Guests are subject to hearing potential road noise and/or waves crashing.

7) Day of Arrival:
Let us know if you prefer self-check-in or a personal tour. Only the guest who booked can check in and must show their ID for security.

8) Check-In: We have a check-in window from 4:00pm to 6:00pm. Early check-in is based upon availability and will need to be approved by our team. Please keep this in mind as the day of your arrival approaches. If you are arriving later than 6pm, please reach out to our team for approval.

12) Parking:
There are three garage ports at the Malibu Sand property; however, only the second and third ports are for the guests staying at the Malibu Sand Suites. The second port can accommodate two vehicles and the third can accommodate one vehicle. So, there are a total of three spots. You will receive one parking pass and you cannot park in any of the three spots without the parking pass. If you are not able to get a spot, then you will need to park either on PCH or in the overflow parking lot above the complex that has D’amores pizza and PC Greens.

Cleanliness:
We take our cleaning seriously. You can trust that our homes are thoroughly deep cleaned between guest visits. All of our homes have white hotel-style linens, white towels, toiletries for our guests, and well stocked kitchens with high-end appliances. Amid COVID-19, our cleaning intensified: surfaces wiped with hot water and disinfectants. All towels and linens washed, regardless of appearance; many hotels don't. Door handles and high-touch spots get extra care. Staff wears masks, gloves, and shoe coverings. Our exceptional cleaning surpasses CDC standards.

This property contains an exterior camera at the front door which is motion sensored and is active during guests stay.

We are a professional vacation rental hospitality management company. We maintain high hospitality standards with an in-house team of designers, concierge, hosts, maintenance personnel, and stylists. We are ranked #1 in California and #4 in the country. Travel can be stressful, especially when you book without seeing the home beforehand. We eliminate that stress.

Lastly, by the end of your stay with us, if you feel our service provided to you has been nothing less than excellent, gratuity is always welcome. Just give it to whomever you deem fit!

Interaction with Guests:
Our team is available 24/7 to assist you virtually.

Concierge services are available including restaurant reservations, chef services, fridge stocking, private transportation, car, yacht or private jet rentals, health/fitness/beauty/wellness in-house appointments, guided city tours, hikes and custom curated experiences.

Excellent Stay

We really enjoyed our stay as a family !! I have never booked thru a VRBO type service so I was a bit nervous paying the full amount in advance for a 17 day booking — I was pleasantly surprised Any issue or concern we had was addressed immediately particularly by Alex and Jelena. The rooms are clean, the beach is fantastic and attention to detail is first class We will be back !!!

Great place, great stay, solid management! Thanks!

The place was clean and modern, great amenities including Nespresso and well stocked. Fabulous beachfront location of the complex (though NOTE this specific unit is interior facing). The property manager TeJay was very helpful and responsive. The check in process is slightly wonky after hours but TeJay stayed late to assist. Good stuff!

Beautiful

Extremely clean and beautiful property. Garden was gorgeous. You do have to climb over some rocks if you go down the stairs to the beach and when tide is high it’s not accessible but there is a public access right next to the building that is very easy and was not crowded at all. Management was extremely prompt and responsive and so very nice. Worth the money and we usually do not spend this much but really loved this space.

Clean and comfortable

We had a great stay! The property is exceptionally clean (loved the Japanese toilets/bidets)! The layout allowed our entire family to stay comfortably. Beds were very comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked and efficient. Was a little confused on layout in the online photos (we tried to do the virtual tour but I think it was of another unit). :) The common area with grass and lounge chairs near the ocean offered gorgeous views. Great location! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Better than we expected…and our expectations were HIGH

Pros: Great experience. The villa was clean and peaceful and at a great location in Malibu. Both away from the crowd and close to many restaurants. Staff was extremely friendly. The rooms were clean and private enough for a group of people. If you’re renting a car, there’s a garage parking and even when we couldn’t snag it there was easy street parking. Cons: Only cons was wishing we had more direct communication with the staff. We realized on our last day we missed out on some nice rooftop views; we were bummed we didn’t get a tour. Overall this is a villa we would stay again!

A wonderful staycation

If you're looking for a clean, modern, and spacious place with unbeatable views of the ocean, this is the place to be! The beds are way more comfortable than most hotels. The sofa beds are hard, but the children didn't notice until day 4. The dining table had plenty of space to fit a family of 7. The location is unbeatable. Not only are you right on the beach, you're also in walking distance to stores, restaurants, and the pier. Just be aware that this listing includes only one parking spot and parking on PCH in the afternoons are difficult. However, we live nearby and were aware of that. The only issue we ran into were constant glitches with the VRBO app and delayed messaging relay, but that's not the responsibility of the host. They host is responsive and friendly. We'd definitely come back in the summer!!
