I have enjoyed my stay. I have one constructive comment. Tuesday to Friday during my stay the property was working on the wooden decks and wood panelling. This meant that every day from 7 or 8 depending on the day to about 4 there were at least 2 is not 3 workman working right outside my unit. SA3. The gentlemen themselves were lovely, quiet and hard working, but there tasks, among other things involved, sanding and using a blower and a dryer, so quite noisy. As guests we should be warned or notified in advanced that this will happen. I still enjoyed my stay, but it was not tranquil, which is why a book a place right on the ocean. It was not good and although I understand a property needs to be main rained and the "season" is approaching, the inconvenience should have been communicated and reflected in some gratuity for my stay in my opinion beyond a 2 hour free late check out. Thanks.

Spring get away to Malibu
Property is as described. If you want to be in the core of Malibu or what's open in Malibu now, this is a prime location. Parking worked well, unit is modern and perfect fit for a couple. We loved the small yard/sand area overlooking the beach. On site staff was friendly and helpful. The laundry facility is great. I thought the communications, check-in process and app were a lot more than necessary and what I've gone through with other vrbo's but even though it was more to slog through than most, getting in the unit went smoothly. We'd stay again.

We had an amazing time at this property!

Perfect getaway for a busy mama! Everything was exactly how pictured.

Beach getaway
This place was immaculate, the location was perfect. It has direct access to the beach, walking distance to the pier which was very quaint and enjoyable! Plenty of restaurants within a 5-10 walk. The property was very clean, modern utilities and had a beautiful garden with lounge chairs overlooking the beach. Would definitely stay here again. The property staff were efficient and prompt with any help need on our behalf.
