PERFECT IN EVERY WAY

I will reccomment this property to all my family and friends. Not only was its location ideal for us, it is so close to the ocean that we drove our bikes, and walked the beach each day and evening. One day we even set up our croquet game on the amazing manicured lawns you see from the picture. The home is cozy and clean, also amazingly quiet! I cant say enough about it. Malibu provided a perfect vacation for us and the grounds were breathtaking. Homeowners did a great job with keeping in the theme of architecture and providing great reads about the area. They made our stay so easy and comfortable.

Beautiful casita! Immaculate inside with lots of wonderful ammenities. Short walk/ride to Zuma Beach (which was one of the best beaches I have ever visited). The grounds are lovely. Beautiful flowers, tress and fruit orchards. The owner communicates clearly, follows-up to questions/inquiries promptly and is very easy to deal with. We had a wonderful three day stay in Malibu. Getting into LA was easy. Relaxing by the beach and enjoying a lovely sunset stroll - even easier from this location! I highly recommend this property to anyone wishing to visit the Malibu/LA area. We hope to return soon. Thanks Lisa! - Sue

We stayed in this lovely rental for the first week of January, and were pleasantly surprised that it was even more beautiful than it looked in the pictures. This is not our first VRBO rental; we've stayed in them all over the world, but this one was by far one of the best. It was like a luxury hotel with the convenience of being in your own home; every detail was thought of, from the lovely soaps and lotions in the pristine bathrooms, to the bag of beach toys and beach blankets in the extra room/study. The owners were friendly and flexible, even with our special requests. The location was private and peaceful, but minutes from a gorgeous Malibu beach. Highly recommended.

Most Beautiful House...

Our family fell in love with your house in zuma beach immediately. Everything a family could need is available (even sand toys for our kids). The kids loved to pick lemons and oranges in the garden for our fresh homemade lemonade. We all found relaxation in your gorgeous back yard or in front of the fireplace. My husband cooked delicious dinners in your professional kitchen and your spanish style bathroom was a dream. Inside and out the most beautiful spanish style house. Everything was perfectly clean and cozy. We would have loved to stay for good. Thank you!

We had a wonderful time at your casita. It was just beautiful and perfect for our week-end with daughters in school there. We enjoyed the patio and the orchard was amazing. Close to the beach, great restaurants and school. Great california lemons! I would recommend this property to everyone! Thank you for sharing your property with us.

We are on a two week trip in LA, and could only secure one week at the Casita, so we booked in to Chateaux Marmont for the first week. We thought it couldn't get much better than the Chateaux, but we were wrong! When we drove up to the Casita, we could not believe how pretty it was. Then, we walked in and were totally blown away. Beautifully built, keeping a real Spanish theme with a modern twist, this Casita has everything you could ever need. PLUS, amazing gardens where you can pick you're own fruit! We will absolutely be back here! We would buy it if it was for sale! I can not recommend this Casita enough. It is a "must stay at" if you are planning to visit SoCal any time soon.

My wife and I visited this great Spanish Style cassita in Malibu for two weeks, from England. Although we have lived in LA and Malibu over the years this was one of the most delightful locations we have experienced, not only in California but worldwide. The house was totally up to scratch with everything one would need for a great vacation, while the large gardens and back yard were an ideal retreat from Big City LA,and ideal for entertaining family and friends. Great proximity to beach, restaurants, and a great local groceries and produce market just at the end of the road made everything easy. Putting our money where our mouth is - were booking again for next year - only longer.

Four of us were in town from Texas and Colorado to plan and deliver a memorial serivce for a family member who was a Malibu resident. Unfortunately, the first day in town we arrived at our misrepresented initial rental property - only 1 functioning bath of the 2 advertised, no door locks, rain leaking through light fixtures and onto my head in the middle of the night - we thought were stuck! A frantic last minute call regarding this property was responded to within hours and with open arms and apologies for the situation, Lisa got the Casita cleaned ASAP and we were in that night! Literally just needing a roof (that didn't leak) over our heads, we were overwhelmingly suprised. A beautiful garden with roses and fruit trees, lovely quiet neighborhood, immaculate home and the customer service you'd expect from considerate individuals who love their work. So although our trip to Malibu was a somber one, this home made it less stressful and is definately a place we'd come back to and highly recommend.

What a superb holiday home! Spacious, beautifully removated and tastefully furnished with an absolutely stunning garden. The location is quiet, peaceful and upmarket, yet is minutes from the beach and local amenities. Convenient for heading north to Santa Barbara and other coastal towns, or south to all that Los Angeles has to offer. We would not hesitate to recommend this property to other families.

We had a wonderful stay at the beautifully decorated and comfortable Malibu Casita. It was very quiet, save for the crows and song birds in the morning. This is a very private little house with a beautiful garden and we enjoyed numerous croquet games on the expansive front lawn. It was perfect for 2 couples, but I imagine great for a family too. Zuma beach is within walking distance, a wonderful beach with a lifeguard about every 75 feet on the weekends. If you're not familiar with Malibu, Zuma is on the North end of the city, ( 27 miles of scenic beauty) past Pepperdine University. We enjoyed hiking in Tapanga Park, the Getty Villa, the Adamson House and the Malibu lagoon. Also Will Rogers state park, all great. We always looked forward to coming back to the Casita to enjoy a glass of wine and watch the bunnies come out onto the lawn. The first night we stayed, we discovered there were no kitchen prep knives and I could not find a hairdryer. The next day we found them waiting on our doorstep. Now that's service. All in all, a great place to stay!
