ABOUT THE SAND AND THE EVER CHANGING BEACH: In the spring, the tide begins to carry sand in from the ocean and deposit it on the beach. The sand on the beach becomes deeper each week and by late summer can be several feet deep. During the winter, the process is reversed. The tide carries the sand back out to the ocean. At times, there can be no sand on the beach exposing cobble (football sized rocks ordinarily covered by sand) which can be difficult to walk on.

Beautiful Ocean Front

On the Pacific Ocean with parking in Malibu - easy access to a wonder spot - cared well by the owner. It is peaceful - unless the sounds of waves lapping at the deck bothers you! Thank you Don for your hospitality.

About the host

Hosted by Don Tollefson

I started out as a high school teacher. After 4 years I stopped that nonsense (it was a great job for which I wasn't suited) and went to law school. I passed the bar and became an attorney (another great job for which I wasn't suited). That same year started a construction company. All along the way I bought property (it was cheap back then). In 2008 I added the vacation rental business. I still don't know what I'm going to be when I grow up. My insight? 'Youth is wasted on the young!'

Why they chose this property

As a young man I never had much money. So even though property was cheap, I could only afford distress property and property in downtrodden areas. I mostly bought property in a nearby slum area known as Venice. I bought this particular Malibu vacation rental property as a distress property. It was in the Big Rock Mesa slide area. The slide area was a quarter mile section along the coast that was sliding aggressively toward Catalina Island. I gambled and it worked out. The County stabilized the slide and everyone knows what happened to real estate values in Venice. People tell me I was smart. But, I wasn't smart. I was lucky. My insight? If you have a choice between lucky and smart, take lucky. Anyone can be smart. You have to be lucky to be lucky!

What makes this property unique

I'm "new places and things" challenged. I'm aware of the frustrations that can accompany a vacation in an unfamiliar environment. So, I set things up so vacationers can "hit the ground running." My photos are unembellished. My video is unembellished. My booking process is totally simple. My follow up is thorough every step of the way. I'm always accessible by phone, text or email. I provide a comprehensive printout upon arrival. I've labeled light switches, fans, heaters and remote controls. I oversee cleaning. I oversee every turnover. I make certain everything is re-stocked, fully equipped and working. I refund security deposits promptly and make certain every vacationer is notified. And I offer a "repeat offender" discount for returning vacationers. My insight? It must be working because 25% of my vacationers are "repeat offenders."
