                  • This is a unique beach house because it is an 'A-Frame' with 18 foot ceilings. It is all glass in the front on the ocean side. It feels like a much bigger house than it is due to it's unique architecture. You have ocean views from the entire house. There is nothing like this on the beach in Malibu. The beach is essentially a private beach and when you are on it feels as though you are on a island. You usually can see one or two of the Channel Islands and sometimes Catalina Island....moreless

                            We can't stop thinking about this incredible house right on the most amazing, secluded beach. We celebrated my 40th bday there and never wanted to leave. Highlights were the dolphins and seals playing in the water right by the house, the exclusivity of the beach and the beautiful, modern design of the house (for a smaller space it has everything you could ever need). The owners were very helpful and discreet when staying in their cabin out front. We would strongly recommend this place (though I don't want to tell too many people for fear of not being to book it when we want it!) and can't wait to come back.

                            Owner response: Thanks for at least deciding to share your thoughts on our place with only the few who will actually read the reviews. We will see you again soon.

                            My husband and I recently rented the A Frame for our anniversary getaway. We just left yesterday and I'm already trying to figure out the next time we can come back. The location is breathtaking and the house itself is modern yet cozy as can be. We left the windows open at night and fell asleep to the waves crashing just outside your door. Even our dog was relaxed as he would lay outon the deck every day and soak up the sun. My husband and I also like to surf so you can imagine how convenient it was for us to be able to walk there (less than a quarter of a mile from the house). My husband said his favorite part was having the ability to sit up in bed and look out the window to see if the surf was worth waking up for - if not, you just lie back down and sleep for another hour. :) I can't say enough great things about what they've done with this place. Can't wait for summer - we'll be back for sure! If you're looking for a beach house, this is an absolute gem and you should look no further.

                            Owner response: So glad you and your husband had a good time. When the surf is really good, you can surf right in front of the house. When it is not good, as you did, it is best to walk a few hundred yards over to County Line Beach for the best surf break. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

                            This place is amazing! The design, the decor -- everything is beautifully done and set up. Feels like a luxury hotel. The pictures are completely accurate, yet at the same time they didn't prepare me for how stunning it was. Even when you're inside you can always see the ocean, so you feel like you're outside. I came here to get some peace and quiet and write, and it wound up being a beautiful, uncluttered space to get away from it all.

                            Owner response: I recall when i sent you an email to see if everything was good, you told me it was so good that you felt "like you were on another planet". This house does take you away. I'm glad you were able to relax and get a lot of writing done. Until next time....

                            Fantastic location on a quiet beach with a great view. Loved to sit out on the deck with coffee and look for dolphins (which we saw daily, and would even recommend bringing a pair of binoculars to get a better look). Perfect setting for a relaxing visit to Malibu. Could not have asked for better amenities or a better location- I would highly recommend this rental and would love to visit again.

                            I rented this house with my girlfriend in late February of this year for a getaway weekend. If you're a review skimmer, here's the short version: We loved staying in this house. By now, you've probably read about all of the great stuff in the house. It's all there as promised and it's all awesome. There are a few things I want to call out specifically. First, the kitchen is fantastic. It's incredibly well appointed and well designed. I love kitchens where everything you need to whip up a meal is right there within reach while you're standing there cooking. It takes an extra level of consideration to create such an easy-to-use space. Second, we loved the view of the water, particularly from the loft. It was fun to see all manner of birds and marine life hanging out just off shore. I particularly enjoyed sitting at the top of the spiral staircase, sipping coffee and looking out at the water while my girlfriend made breakfast. Third, the bed in the loft is super comfortable. This is a highly subjective point, so I won't harp on it anymore, but yeah, super comfortable bed. Fourth, the fireplace is a fantastic. If you're coming from Santa Monica, stop at the Pavillions in Point Dume and buy a couple boxes of Hot Wood. We loved having a fire going at night. We had a fantastic time at this house. Our initial plan for the weekend was to use the house as a home base for other activities, some paddle boarding, maybe some hiking, perhaps drive down to the Malibu pier. But after we got to the house, we decided to settle in and have a chill weekend at the house. It kind of snuck in and stole the weekend. And I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.

                            Owner response: I think it is a combination of the beach and this house that makes you just relax when you are there. I actually feel my muscles loosening up after I have been there for a couple hours. I can sit on the deck and just watch as you did, the waves, the surfers, the pelicans(those are my favorite) flying in formation, and feel like I am on an almost deserted island somewhere far away. Certainly sounds like you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for taking the time to be so detailed. Thanks for the kind words.

                            Our stay at the beach house was perfect-- romantic, wonderful ocean views, with all the amenities one would need. Mornings watching the dolphins and seals, and nights listening to the surf. Our host was great to work with-- prompt responses on availability, directions, things to do as well as checking on us during our stay. Our deposit was returned within days which is very much appreciated. All in all a fantastic getaway-- highly recommended!

                            Owner response: Glad you enjoyed your stay. Each time I tried to personally introduce myself to you, you were out. That tells me you definitely were enjoying all that Malibu has to offer. Hope we can meet next time you come.

                            My wife and I came here for our honeymoon, and it was, we decided, the nicest place we've ever stayed in. The location can't be beat, and the design of this classic A-frame clearly involved some people who knew what they were doing. Views of the ocean, comfortable living space, and even a fireplace to boot, whatever we needed we found here. Plus it really did feel like we were on our own private stretch of Malibu. We've definitely recommended it to other people already, and have it on our list permanently for when we make our way out here in the future.

                            Recommended for: Romantic getaway.

                            Owner response: Great to hear that the final leg of your Honeymoon was a good choice! You have commented on a few of the items that really does make our A Frame quite special. I hope you will consider coming back on one of your anniversaries or before. Here's to a wonderful marriage and a healthy and happy 2013.

                          About the owner: We are a family that treasures quality time together with our friends.

                          Why the Owner Chose Malibu:
                          We fell in love with the beach, at the end of Malibu. Close to Los Angeles, yet when you are relaxing on the deck gazing at the sea, you feel miles away from everything. A dream location with breath taking views. It starts from the moment you enter your Malibu getaway, from early morning sunrise, to spectacular sunsets and magical moon beams across the ocean floor at night.

                          The Unique Benefits at this House:
                          We love to cook and always have wonderful meals on our deck. We enjoy having our good friends and family visit and we celebrate each lovely day of beach activities & memorable evenings together.
