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. Note that the handicap spot is ticketed by the police - as are all handicap spots in California. So, do not park there - or anywhere - without the relevant pass(es). The police will not hesitate to charge you +$500 for parking where you shouldn’t.

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!

Great get-away!
I wanted a quiet, safe place by the ocean to unwind after dropping my son off at college. The private beach wasn't accessible due to high waters, but there was public beach access within a block. A short walk down the beach and I was away from the few families enjoying the sunny day. It was just what I needed. Property manager responded quickly to all of my questions.

Malibu Gem On Carbon Beach
Everything about our stay was seamless, from check in to check out. No detail was left out. There were beach chairs for our stay. The studio was impeccable. All fixtures were high-end and modern. It was spotless (and I am obsessed with clean spaces). The communication was perfect and the property team was so helpful with my questions. It is in a desirable location within walking distance to Nobu, The Farm, and other gems. I highly recommend the property.

Amazing
The property is absolutely beautiful and perfect for 2 people to stay. The place is right on the beach and you can hear the water with nice beach access as well. The villa feels very private with your own large outdoor space. The location is prime and near all the essentials in Malibu. The staff was amazing and so prompt on getting back to us. Would 100% recommend

Perfect Malibu Stay For Two
We enjoyed our stay in Malibu. The space is exactly as shown in pictures and is perfect for a couple. A suggestion we have is to have a smaller table and second chair for eating at or have a table and chairs on the outside private area. We did use the kitchenette in the mornings to make our coffee and toast/warm bagels/croissants. The private patio is also a great place to watch the sunset.

Perfect spa-like getaway in Malibu
This was the perfect little Malibu getaway, close to amazing restaurants, the Malibu pier, shopping, etc. My villa had a view of the ocean and I woke up to see a pod of dolphins and beautiful sunrise. The bathroom has spa amenities including a rain head shower, Toto toilet, and super soft towels, slippers, and robe. I enjoyed sipping on a Nespresso coffee in the morning while sitting outside in my private green space. When I arrived everything was very clean. Although there is beach access, it was too rocky for my bad ankle, but luckily there is a flatter public access way to the beach just a block down. Would definitely stay here again for a weekend getaway!

Best way to experience a weekend in Malibu
What a wonderful stay in Malibu at Stay Awhile Villas. Located on the beach side of PCH with private beach access and beautiful views of the ocean, PCH, sunrises, and sunsets from our roof top studio. Very satisfied and impressed with the studio, its design & layout, sound proof windows, comfy bed & linens, and the amenities provided. Friendly and attentive staff as well. Alex took great care of us.

Fabulous
The property was lovely and quiet with stunning Ocean views and access to the most desirable beach in Malibu. 2 beach accesses, One for easy entry or the other for anyone adventurous wanting to climb down large boulders which was fun. I’ve also rented homes in Malibu for 30 years. Super clean with staff taking care each day. Everyone is kind and greets you with A smile. Nicely decorative and sleek modern bathrooms. Located next to Nobu and walking distance to Malibu Beach Inn for A cocktail and Or dinner. I Am definitely returning.
