About this property
Spectacular Ocean View at Malibu Getaway
Love the panoramic ocean views, play at nearby beaches, hike memorable mountain trails. Malibu has it all for a perfect seaside adventure. Whether it’s a romantic interlude, family fun or peaceful solitude by the sea, our guest apartment--Deja Bu--is right where you want to be for a lovely coastal escape. You can’t help but love the ‘Bu (Malibu to locals)!
This charming 1 bedroom/1 bath guest apartment boasts your own private ocean-view patio, private entrance, full kitchen, washer/dryer, fully-tiled floors and high-quality furnishings. Located on a quiet street just 400 yards from the ocean as the crow flies and a two-minute drive, the enchanting blue Pacific fills the expansive window views from every room in the apartment. In fact, you’ll never get tired of gazing over the beguiling and ever-changing ocean from the king-sized bed. From our elevation of 380 feet on a clear day, you can see several Channel Islands including Catalina, and if you’re lucky, you might even spy a whale and her calf on their way north from Mexico.
Within minutes of Malibu’s gorgeous beaches including world-famous Zuma Beach, El Matador Beach and Paradise Cove, and a plethora of hiking and mountain biking trails that join the 65-mile Backbone Trail in the Santa Monica Mountains, this apartment is also just a short drive from Pepperdine University, the Malibu Pier, wineries, the world-renowned Getty Villa antiquities museum, and notable Malibu shops and restaurants. The apartment is also an excellent starting point for road bicyclists riding the scenic Pacific Coast Highway route to Point Mugu. For touring by car, it is approximately 45 minutes from Santa Monica and 75 minutes from Santa Barbara. Many of Los Angeles’ museums, including the famed Getty Center and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), are within a 60-minute drive.
You have access to a secluded, private ocean-view citrus orchard just steps from your apartment. Pick your own delicious tangerines, oranges, grapefruit, limes and lemons when in season. And there is no aroma as seductive as orange blossoms at dusk. The orchard also offers a beanbag bag toss game, if you get tired of just relaxing.
But we’re still far enough from the city lights to offer views of starry nights, the milky way, moonglow on the ocean, and even the occasional rocket launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base.
The apartment can easily be converted to a two-bedroom apartment by simply unlocking a door. If you need two bedrooms, contact us for rates.

The hosts were very communicative and welcoming. They met us in the driveway to show us where to park and how to get to the apartment. The apartment had amazing views of the ocean!! The little seating/bar area just outside the apartment is perfect to hang out and enjoy the views surrounded by an abundance of plantlife. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and sheets so soft. We'll definitely be back!
We received a warm welcome from the hosts and immediately felt comfortable. We had a very relaxing time with a beautiful panoramic view of the ocean from every room. The rooms were decorated nicely and stocked with board games, snacks, and folder with information about the nearby area. The patio outside was full of beautiful manicured plants, and patio furniture. We really appreciated the king size bed and comfy pillows. Very extra special place.
This place exceeded our expectations! We couldn't get enough of the patio looking out on the ocean. It was spotless, the bed was great and the owners were really nice and helpful.

Clean and well-organized overlooking the beach and the ocean! Will definitely revisit if the opportunity arises!

Wonderful stay/Amazing ocean view!
I stayed with my parents before traveling to Santa Barbara last weekend. Larry and Nancy provided a cozy stay for us. They're beautiful home offers full amenities and a stunning view perched atop the Malibu hillside. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to stay in Malibu.

Larry was a great host and we loved the house. Our daughter stayed on the pullout in the living room and we had privacy in the bedroom. Amazing views from every room!

We were very impressed with our stay here. The view of the Pacific Ocean and close proximity to everything in Malibu places this on the top of our list. We will definitely return here in the future. Also, the get acquainted binder was very helpful to reference regarding the apartment, restaurants in the area, and other attractions.

Wonderful Malibu Experience!
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this wonderful VRBO property. Larry and Nancy were such gracious hosts. Everything was as described, which is important when booking online. We felt at home the entire time. We look forward to returning to this special property. Thank you, Larry and Nancy!
Response from VrboOwner on 17 March 2020
We hope to see you in the near future. Thanks again for stay with us.
Larry and his wife were kind and attentive, but not intrusive. The spaces were as described, but better. The guidebook is so full of great info and insiders information. We can't wait to go back!
I loved my stay at Larry’s place. It’s a great location close to the beach and hiking areas. Larry and his wife are welcoming and hospitable. I stayed by myself this time but would love come back with family because I think it has all the right amenities for adult to children to enjoy, especially the garden in the back yard if you just want to relax with family.
Thank you for sharing your home Larry!
Super clean one bedroom with gorgeous views! Larry was awesome to deal with. Best beaches in Malibu within minutes. We definitely plan to come back. Thanks!!!!

Great Getaway!!!
We stayed with Deja Bu for three nights. It was quiet, cozy and beautiful. It felt like a home away from home. Mr. & Mrs. Stokesberry were very nice and accommodating. We highly recommend this place. This place is no more than three minutes from Zuma beach where we spent most of our time. There are restaurants all around, places to shop and the view is breathtaking.
Thank you Deja Bu!!
We will definitely be back.

Larry and Nancy were the PERFECT hosts and their home not only lived up to the reviews and the listing...but well exceeded them!
The process was easy, all info needed was readily accessible, the property was in immaculate shape and and we just could not have asked for more! The views...are from Heaven, the area full of things to do and the food spectacular!
Planning on making this an annual trip and and could not have been happier getting our slice of the Malibu life courtesy of the Stokesberry's!
Our small family of 3 just LOVED staying at Larry’s place! It was perfect for what we needed and wanted.
Larry was very easy to communicate with. He and his wife were so helpful and kind!
He helped us with our booking process.
They were on location when we arrived to teach us how to park and where everything was.
They were incredibly quiet, which is everything we needed more when we stay at vrbo’s.
The location was gorgeous!
The kitchenette had everything we needed too!
I would absolutely stay here again, and recommend it to anyone!!!

About the host
Hosted by Larry Stokesberry
The guest apartment is the ground floor of a lovely Malibu home. When the owners (who live on the second floor) realized they didn’t need so much room for just the two of them, they decided to offer the lower level as a guest apartment. Both are avid tennis players, pickle ball players, beach volleyball players and hikers, so they can point you in the right direction for a myriad of the wonderful outdoor activities Malibu has to offer.
Why they chose this property
Romantic, serene, enchanting. I hope you can see why we love it!
