About this property

Private 1 Acre Resort, 1+Den with pool in Malibu Canyon minutes from the beach.

Spacious 1 bedroom and den chateau with sofa bed has full kitchen and washer/drier. Situated on more than 1 acre in Malibu Canyon, this private property features a swimming pool with waterfall and slide, large outdoor living room along with outdoor kitchen and BBQ with eating bar and dining space. It is fully fenced in with plenty of room for pets, and it for your use exclusively! If you enjoy games, there is a bocce court and horseshoe pits as well. Located across from Tapia Park and minutes from Malibu Creek State Park and the beach there are plenty of trails to explore and you can even book tours of Malibu's waterfalls. Perfect for stargazing as a part of a dark sky community, you might even spot some owls. If you are into the other type of star gazing there are Malibu star homes and beach tours. You may want to book a wine tasting tour or just enjoy your own bottle out by the pool. Plenty of restaurant choices too, from the Malibu Seafood Company to Nobu and many priced in between. And if historic locations are on your agenda, the Adamson House and Malibu Lagoon Museum are worth a visit and you can tie in a walk on Malibu pier as well. If you don't mind venturing a little further, there is the spectacular Getty Villa. And of course you're not far from any of the major LA area attractions.

During the summer (July, August, September) the pool is warm enough without heating and free to you to use. If you are planning to use the pool any other time, please advise in advance and select the pool option, so that we can make sure it is heated for you. The spa is free to use all year around.

The 5M Ranch is an absolute oasis, and checked every box: serene setting in nature with resort-like amenities. The home is cozy, the yard is spacious, the amenities were well-maintained. The kitchen had everything I needed to prepare all meals every day. My partner and I especially enjoyed cooking together in the outdoor kitchen! What a treat! Also a great area for birdwatching: I saw an accorn woodpecker, a couple CA scrub jays, and more! There is also some cool history about the property to discover I would highly recommend this unique stay, and look forward to booking again in the future!

This property is amazing. Feels like a little resort. Yard and pool / spa are spacious and beautiful. The house is well stocked and perfect for a longer stay. Marty and Manny are lovely. Our dog loved the big yard and meeting their friendly dogs. The surrounding Santa Monica mountains are filled with amazing hikes, and the Malibu coast is a 15 minute drive.

Phenomenal cottage that is impeccably decorated. Pool and property were wonderful. Great location. Great communication with host. Only issue was cottage furniture was dusty & floors were not cleaned. It may have been an oversight. Also, although very private, a bathroom curtain might help folks feel they have privacy when the landscapers are visiting . Other than that, kitchen was fully stocked with supplies & bathroom had some “in case you forgot “ supplies as well. Pool floats, towels & board games were all available. Would definitely recommend this VRBO.

Overall, a very comfortable and quiet guest house to stay in!

The outdoor scenery is lovely. Property does look just like the pictures from listing. Gorgeous pool and hot tub. Very comfortable bed. The Bocci ball game was fun! The owners are very kind. Great communication! We did think that this would be more private than it is. It is a guest house on the owners property.

We are glad you enjoyed your stay. Just to be clear, it is a completely separate 1 acre property with it's own address and parcel number. It is also completely fenced in and except for cleaning out the pool filters when needed, the property, house, pool and outdoor spaces are for the exclusive use of our guests.

Beautiful Property and Great Owner!

My wife, daughter, and I loved our stay at Manny’s cabin. The hot tub and pool were amazing. The heating fee was very reasonable compared to a lot of properties. Manny is easy to communicate with and a very gracious host. The cabin is well stocked and everything worked as it should. The place feels very secluded and private. Nature sounds and life are abundant. We would definitely stay here again.

An Incredibly Lovely Getaway Weekend!

This was the perfect mini romantic weekend getaway from the busy city with such generous and sweet hosts (and their precious dogs!). The gorgeous backyard was spacious with so much room to lounge by the fire pits, run around, hit golf balls by the net, bbq, and much more. The pool and jacuzzi are both charming and relaxing, perfect for what we needed in a getaway. The guesthouse itself was also spacious and lovely, with plenty of room to feel comfortable and relaxed. We loved this experience so much, that we already booked more days in a few months!
