Oh, my.....our stay could not have been more wonderful!!! From beginning to end, our entire family of children & grandchildren enjoyed every precious moment of time we all had together over the holidays. The warm, cozy, inviting home was spacious & ideal, clean & well maintained just as the pictures had depicted. The views, the gardens, the community were perfect.....in fact, it was all absolutely a perfect fit for us & we would recommend it to family & friends in a heartbeat. The rental family could not have been more gracious or delightful & helpful. They provided us with a fabulous listing of restaurants, available activities, local stores etc. that was extremely handy.....we thoroughly enjoyed exploring the area & became very comfortable taking day trips, going on hiking adventures, walking the beaches & always looking forward to coming back to our "home". The weather could not have been better during our stay, allowing us to enjoy the patios, the BBQ grill & opening the house to let the outdoors in. SPECTACULAR!!!! The house "flows" with an openness from room to room that we love, especially in the kitchen, dining & living room areas. We are most appreciative that the owners were willing to share their home with us for making some of the BEST memories ever with our family!!

We had a perfect family reunion in the Malibu home... The layout, decor and location were ideal and everyone from 18mths to 70 had a great time. We took full advantage of the beaches, hiking and cooking at home. It was very difficult for us to leave such a lovely environment and hope to return in the future. We can highly recommend this home for a family holiday.

Everything was perfect! This house is spectacular and we really didn't want to leave. The photos really don't do it justice. We loved how bright and open the house was. We especially loved the kitchen/great room. As everyone normally congregates in that area, there was plenty of room for all seven of us. And we never felt cramped. The walk to the beach was a very easy one. We already have recommended this house to our friends. Lawrence and his wife were very accommodating and helpful, answering all our questions promptly. Thank you and we hope to be back next year! Brad and Debbie

Living the Dream

Spent a week in this home just before the Fourth of July weekend. It indeed felt like home. As the week progressed I couldn't imagine that anyone else could stay there. I will avoid reading future reviews as not to burst my dream bubble. The house is the perfect size and is well equipped for adults, kids and teens. The owners were super helpful and offered to answer any questions, but the set up was so straightforward that we couldn't come up with any. The access to the beach is easy and nearby. There are all sorts of goodies in the garage for whatever water adventure you can think up (within reason). The long way out along Broad Beach Road is dreamy with lots of outrageous houses at which to gawk. So easy, breazy and charming.

We spent three days at this house in late January 2011. We rented the house for an annual company retreat. It was comfortable for 6 non-couple adults. The house and grounds were very clean and obviously well cared for. The house has many windows and felt breezy and open. The kitchen had all the tools for us to make some very nice dinners. The best part of the house was its proximity to a very nice beach. Its took us about a minute to walk from the house to the beach. The beach feels private and is just north of Zuma. The owner was professional to deal and the transaction went smoothly. It would be nice to go back to this house again in these summer with my family!

This was the perfect home for our family vacation. It is beautifully furnished, generously equipped and extremely comfortable. There are wonderful spaces for the family to gather, as well as places to go for some quiet time. The beach is fantastic. Even on the hottest day of the summer, we had it pretty much to ourselves. My husband tried his hand at surf fishing and caught 2 small sharks. The steps to the beach were a bit difficult for our grandchildren. However,an alternate access was perfect. The owner of this property is very professional and accommodating. He seemed to be really interested in ensuring thar we enjoyed ourselves. We all would love to return to the white house on Cottontail!

Very relaxing vacation We loved the area, we went visiting around and always come back "at home" with pleasure. We had a lot of fun cooking in the kitchen all together with the kids. If you can put 2 more chairs in the dining area it will be perfect. Thanks.

Wonderful house to have a relaxing vacation We lived in this beautiful house for a week of our Us-trip. This house has everything you need for a good and relaxing vacation. The house was a wonderful setting for our unforgettable vacation. It is beautiful decorated and still usable and not in any way delicate. We lived two families with kids in the house and we had plenty of space. The beach is in walking distance from the house and the neighbourhood is friendly. The owners are incredible nice and everything worked out perfectly.
