We stayed here w our two teen boys. The apartment is very clean. There is no AC, but wasn’t necessary even in August. We slept with all windows open and box fans going and were completely comfortable! And got lulled to sleep by the wonderful sounds of the surf, just 20 feet below our apartment. The apartment itself is well stocked, plenty of sand and water toys for the teens, too. VERY clean! I loved that the loveseat and couch coverings were changed after each group of guests. I slept in the open air in the living room every night bec the sound of the ocean was so wonderful!

This place is just as advertised. The view as soon as you walk in was breathtaking. The furniture is comfortable, and the appliances were surprisingly modern and wellfunctioning. We utilized the beach chairs and boogie boards on the beach. Excellent stay and would recommend. Check in was easy, instructions were clear and the location was convenient to both Malibu beaches and nearby Santa Monica

Relaxing

The location was perfect. Everything was within a mile. The place had everything you could need. They even left quarters for your laundry. The place did have a damp smell and that’s because it was right on top of the ocean, maybe. Some of it was run down but my daughter said it was beach aesthetic so I guess I’m not used to it. . Love the hosts and the maintenance crew. Really sweet people .

Fantastic spot, excellent staff

What a fantastic experience. The team was extremely helpful and very friendly. I never had a single worry. We stayed in “Orca”. If your goal is to sit on the beach, you’re going to have to take a short walk. If you want the full deal “Malibu experience “ complete with waves crashing just below your deck don’t hesitate for a second. The balcony is so close to the water you could fish off of it. We spent hours on the balcony just looking at the yachts, dolphins, seals and other life. It was a great trip. Safe neighborhood easy access, great parking (I have a full size Silverado). No problems, just great times. Thank you to the team for a fantastic weekend. We’ll be back for sure!

Perfect Location

We really enjoyed the view from the balcony, however the condo needs to be seriously updated. Very cheaply finished. The king bed was very comfortable, the other beds not so much. Very outdated kitchen, no wine glasses and flatware doesn’t match. Minimal kitchen utensils, plates etc You pay for the view, but that’s about it unfortunately.
