Modern Malibu Road Oceanfront Beach House with AC PRIVATE BEACH

Great location with a beautiful view. Beds were very comfortable and sleep sofa was great. 5 star host.

This is the perfect location to visit Malibu. The beachfront property and beach access is fabulous, definitely outweighs some oversights. Our biggest issue was when we arrived, the heat was on and the inside temp was 79 degrees while outside it was almost 90 degrees. We were slowly able to cool it down after 24 hours, but that was not the best way to start our stay. It has the makings of a great property, just needs some TLC and extra attention to small details (there was no salt and pepper, could use a nice freshening up, etc.)

This place is perfect - renovated, pristinely clean, comfortable, beautiful location. I recommend staying here to anyone. It is laid out nicely and worked well for us. Of course the reason to stay here is the beach, which is incredibly private and gorgeous. This location has a lot of deep beachfront, which properties further south of the pier on PCH do not have. I also love the location on Malibu Road for quiet and safety - again, it is not on PCH with cars zinging by. Highly recommend this property. The only downside is a temporary one if staying during the week. We came during the week when the listing stated the price had adjusted slightly during the week due to “minor construction across the street”. Well, I think of roofers, or pavers, or plumbers - but alas - this was major - two enormous cranes, a crew of 20-30 workers next door pile driving all day beginning at 6:59am and ending around 3:45pm. Once they left in the afternoon it was peaceful - we slept with the windows open listening to the waves all night. Then at 6:59am, an alarm clock no one could sleep through. The workers were organized and polite, but the massive machinery was not. I am sure staying here on the weekend is lovely. Until the house adjacent to next door is completed, just be aware of weekday construction. I would like to say only nice things and can overlook a lot, but this was exceedingly loud. We decided to go with it, got up early, went to get coffee at Malibu Country Mart and came “home” later.

The location of this property is excellent, right on the beach as advertised, which made it very convenient. Unfortunately, we were quite disappointed with the overall cleanliness and condition of the property .Upon arrival, the floors were noticeably dirty, with visible dust and sand. Our feet turned black quickly when walking around, requiring frequent washing throughout our stay. We even had to vacuum ourselves, which we’ve never needed to do at other vacation rentals. Although we contacted the owner and a cleaner was sent, the floors were never properly mopped, so the issue continued.The couch was in poor condition, with multiple stains and a noticeable unpleasant odor. Several other details further contributed to the feeling that the property was not well-maintained for the price: a heavily worn and tarnished welcome mat at the front door, sun-damaged and dirty cushions on the balcony chairs, plates with crusted food residue left in the cupboards, visible fingerprints on the glassware and doors, only three bath towels provided, and a foaming hand soap dispenser filled with regular liquid soap that didn’t dispense properly. The unit feels like it needs a thorough deep cleaning and some general TLC, particularly with the furnishings and small details.While the beachfront access is a strong plus, at resort-level pricing, we expected much higher standards of cleanliness and maintenance. Maybe that’s the cost to stay in Malibu, but we expected more.
