A great location with plenty of waves

We enjoyed our stay in Bungalow 8, especially sitting on the porch in the evening watching the waves. We walked to Malibu Surf Shack to rent a surf board, walked to Malibu Pier, and enjoyed dinner at the Malibu Farm restaurant, also a close walk. Shopping and Pepperdine University were close. I made some meals in the kitchen, which was outfitted adequately. The beds were comfortable and the fireplace was lovely since the evenings were quite chilly.

Wonderful Rental on the beach!!

We enjoyed our week in Malibu at this rental. The property contact person was great. Answered our questions during the booking process and answered very quickly. When we had any requests they were great to work with. I highly recommend this property and we will plan to return the next time we travel to Malibu. we loved sitting on the porch, watching and listening to the ocean waves. We even saw a dolphin.

Perfect cottage on the water

This property was perfect for a getaway for me and my husband. The property was clean and nicely updated. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony over the water with our coffee in the morning, and it was amazing listening to the waves at night. The location was perfect for getting around Malibu for a wedding weekend. Beautiful, relaxing place!

More like a cruise ship ocean view...not beach front

I rented this property believing I would be just steps from the sand with access to a private beach (Carbon Beach) with my family. The tide was super high and it felt more like a balcony view of the ocean on a cruise ship with no direct access to the beach. Also the ocean crashed directly under the bungalow. The property is on stilts. It made it very hard to sleep. The bungalow was getting pounded by the waves all night! In the bedroom you could also hear the cars racing down PCH 1. I've never come back home so tired from a vacation in my life! On the positive side, the bungalow was very clean and check in/out was seamless..I just think that in the property description it should be noted that the private beach access is ONLY accessible depending on the tide....which no one has control over. I wouldn't have spent that kind of money per night if I had known that I would still have to walk or drive to a different beach each day with my family. I think it's only fair to give a person all the Information so they can make an informed decision.

Comfortable with killer views!

We were looking for a last minute location to spend a low key weekend on the water. This was perfect! Clean, comfortable, perfect location and the view is unbeatable. Not a ton of sand to sit on the beach but we got out there during low tide and it was fantastic. Walked to Malibu Pier and the Country Mart. Loved it! We will be back for sure.
