Villa Bella Malibu is located on Malibu's Western Shore which is a recreational Mecca and natural wonderland. The Villa overlooks the renowned County Line Beach and surf break made famous in song by the Beach Boys. The athletic, the adventurous and those with a passionate zeal for the out-of-doors love to explore this pristine natural play ground.
Villa Guests can intermingle with sun worshipers, surfers, paddle boarders, kayakers, scuba divers and colorful kite-surfers performing high-flying acrobatics just a block and a half down the road. The waters of the vibrant underwater realm consistently score A+ ranking from the Heal the Bay Society. The local reef is a natural aquarium of colorful, and abundant sea life.
Many guests tell us they prefer to completely relax and seldom go out at all! They enjoy reading a good book from the well-stocked library, sun bathing in the garden, watching the humming birds drink from the carved stone fountains, soaking in the totally private, ocean-view, outdoor Spa, taking a therapeutic Steam Shower or a romantic Spa bath in the magnificent Master Bathroom's over sized oval tub. In-Villa therapeutic Massages available upon request.
They love viewing films and Television from one of the three large flat screen TVs with surround sound, DVRs with tons of premium channels, plus a collection of over 220 DVD's.
The Villa offers a Wi-Fi computer system with hook ups for Mac or PC users for those who need to stay connected as well as a house phone with free calling anywhere in the US or Canada. Villa Bella Malibu is just minutes away from the heart of Malibu's downtown in close proximity to a tempting array of local pastimes: celebrity watching, browsing designer boutiques at the eco-chic Malibu Lumber Yard, taking the kids to the playground at Malibu Country Mart, dining at Nobu, seaside cocktails at Geoffrey's, strolling the sculptured gardens and antiquity collection at the Getty Villa, wine tasting at Rosenthal's Vineyard or perusing art exhibitions at Pepperdine's Weisman museum.
There are amazing hiking trails with grottos and waterfalls and the trailhead to Mount Allen (the tallest mountain in the Santa Monica Mountains),is a favorite close by destination for hikers.
Guests also enjoy boating excursions from the Malibu pier including deep sea fishing, sailing or whale watching. You can deep sea dive or go snorkeling off the local reef located only 2 blocks from the house or take a day trip to Santa Barbara, shop, dine, catch a show and return to the Villa in just over an hour’s drive time.
Guests claim that it is virtually impossible to be bored or unhappy here. They enjoy cocktail hour at the end of a well spent day watching the setting sun sink down behind the Channel Islands from the Villa’s expansive ocean viewing decks and loggias.
This is truly the paradise you have been longing for without the inconvenience of being confined to an island. YOUR DREAM VACATION IS JUST A CLICK AWAY.....

Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Malibu
We lived in the neighborhood for 15 years before being able to buy the land we had fallen in love with. After traveling in Italy and France extensively we wanted to incorporate the best of what we saw there in our own Villa on this special land. We wanted old world character as well as up-to-the-minute conveniences and amenities. We employed many artisans to finish the interior spaces and incorporate arcitectural elements we have collected over the years. Buildin was a real labor of love for us and we look forward to having you as our guests someday.
The Unique Benefits at this Villa
We are located across from County Line Beach which is one of the premier surfing, kite surfing, and paddle boarding beaches in Southern California. From our spacious decks and Loggias you can watch world class surfers and kite surfers performing their daring acrobatics or watch whales as the migrate North to Alaska or South to the Gulf of Mexico. There is a completely private 32 jet chromatherapy spa and outdoor shower, fairy talel gardens with flowers and fountains visited by a many unusual birds including humming birds. No wonder so many Celebrities choose to live in Malibu...Paradise awaits you.
MALIBU'S BEST SURF BREAK AND KITE SURFING IS AT COUNTY LINE BEACH. NEPTUNE'S NET RESTAURANT IS ACROSS THE ROAD AND THE PERFECT PLACE TO HAVE BREAKFAST, LUNCH OR DINNER AND ENJOY THE SHOW THE ACRABA
FABULOUS SANDY BEACH AND TIDE POOLS TOO. SYCAMORE CANYON HIKING IS ACROSS THE ROAD WITH MILES AND MILES OF TRAILS.
SECLUDED GORGEOUS BEACH WITH CAVES, TIDE POOLS, AND PRISTINE ENVORONMENT.

The photos show some of the beauty and charm, but you HAVE to see it for yourself! The master bedroom is spacious and beautiful. Ocean views abound! The sound of the ocean was quite relaxing. Every morning, hummingbirds bathed and played in the garden fountains. You owe it to yourself to make time to stay at this Villa. The owners were friendly and helpful, showing us the details about our stay. A worthwhile experience!

Being from southwest Louisiana, my husband and I wanted to escape the hot summer days and decided to take a vacation to Malibu. While searching for a villa to rent during our stay, we were delighted to find Villa Bella Malibu. The moment we arrived we knew that we had made the right choice. We were greeted by the owners, Kathryn and Don who instantly could have become our new very best friends .....that's how much we appreciated their warm hospitality. The villa exceeded all of our expectations by providing us with a true European like experience. Their attention to every detail in creating this villa was truly amazing. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed a relaxing and romantic week together. The ocean views, sunsets and sleeping with the windows opened every night will always be memorable. I enjoyed my week so much, that after my husband flew home, I invited three girlfriends to join me up at the villa for a second week. Four women in Malibu eating, shopping, sightseeing.......need I say more!!' Without reservation, we highly recommend Villa Bella Malibu.

From our first contact with Kathryn and Don, it was evident that we were dealing with owners who would take every step necessary to make our vacation rental experience effortless and absolutely pleasurable. Villa Bella is SPECTACULAR and far exceeded our wildest expectations. The owners have gone out of their way to create a home with the unique ability to make guests feel like family and where every detail and need has been thought of and attended to before you arrive. The Villa is warm and welcoming yet unpretentious. It naturally envelops you in a tranquility that transforms the routines of daily living into renewed energy from the moment you step through the front door. The location of the property was perfect, private and away from crowds and congestion, yet close enough to enjoy everything there was to see and do in Malibu, Santa Monica, Santa Barbara, Ojai and Los Angeles. We have been vacation home renters for over 15 years, and Kathryn and Don’s attention to detail was like nothing we have experienced in other vacation rentals. We are looking forward to future stays at their beautiful Villa and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a truly special experience.

The home owner is a professional at decorating. Every detail is met. The ocean view is spectacular and in the evening it is like being on a ship at sea with the breeze carrying you along. Our family felt completely at home and enjoyed the steam shower so much we are installing one ourselves! Thanks Kathryn! We will be back.

"Villa Bella Malibu was the perfect California getaway. With its exceptional decor, outstanding amenities, and stunning view terrace, you'll find that once you check in, you won't want to check out. What's more peaceful than sitting outside in the golden sunshine, listing to wave crashing along the beach? Honestly, we can't wait to return." Kristin and Ben

I was lucky enough to stay at Villa Bella from May 28 to June 4, 2010. What a delight! The villa is on a small hill so the view of the water is fantastic. It's a short walk down to the beach which we took advantage of almost daily to watch the surfers. The home is pristine with every detail through out and every convenience you can possibly want. Quite often I would just sit on the hammock and read, take a steam shower or float in the hot tub with a glass of wine. The cool nights offered a great reason to light a fire in one of the three fireplaces and the warm afternoons with cool breezes made all the decks a perfect spot for a cup of tea or an afternoon cocktail :-) I am always concerned about bed comfort because of my bad back - no worries here. The beds are dreamy! If you cook, then you will feel blessed by the kitchen and all it has to offer. I would not be doing this home justice if I did not mention the garden. I truly felt like I was in Europe - so much privacy and so beautiful. We took advantage of the proximity to Santa Barbara and drove there for the day - so easy, no problem even over a long weekend when you would expect really bad traffic. I would not miss the opportunity to stay in Villa Bella again and again, it was truly a decadent vacation without the hassle of a hotel. I even had a small BBQ with some friends I have in the area and found it hard to get people to leave at the end of the night! Partly because of the fabulous massive TV in the living room (the lakers game was on!). I live in Singapore and have travelled all over the world and have stayed in some of the nicest hotels. I would rate my stay at Villa Bella in the top five. It was like staying at a five star hotel. Oh and the owners are pretty great too!

My husband and I have visited Villa Bella Malibu twice now, and I have no doubt we will return many times. For us, this location provides the perfect combination of activity and rest. Visits to the nearby Getty, long walks on the beach, dinner at Geoffry's, or quiet afternoons napping, dipping in the hot tub and watching movies in the living room which converts to a fantastic theater room, all make for a truly perfect vacation. Kathryn's creativity can be seen in every detail of design and decor in this house. We are always inspired by the overal ambience of the place and it's lovely location which draws us to return.
