About this property

"Unrivaled Luxury at Premier Beachfront Getaway: Private Beach Access"

Malibu’s Most Iconic Private Retreat

Welcome to your dream escape on prestigious Malibu Road—arguably the finest luxury short-term rental on this sought-after stretch of coastline. This rare beachfront sanctuary combines exceptional privacy, unmatched style, and panoramic views of Malibu’s famed “Big Rock” and the vast Pacific beyond. Set on pristine sand with one of the most breathtaking outlooks in the United States, this four-bedroom private retreat offers more than a stay—it offers an experience.

Unrivaled Location & Private Access

Tucked away in an exclusive, quiet enclave far from the noise of Pacific Coast Highway, this lower-level residence of a grand beachfront estate features its own private entrance, gate access, and keypad entry. Guests enjoy a secure, peaceful environment with easy access to Malibu’s best offerings—just minutes from Pepperdine, the Country Mart, and Malibu Seafood.

Stunning Ocean Views in Every Direction

Framed by the iconic flat rock that sits just offshore—a hallmark of Malibu’s natural beauty—this property offers front-row views of dolphins, sunsets, and crashing waves from nearly every room. Step outside to your entertainer’s deck, complete with plush seating, a private oceanfront Jacuzzi, a gas firepit, and two outdoor showers. It’s the ultimate setting for morning coffee, golden-hour cocktails, or cozy stargazing by the fire.

Sophisticated Coastal Interiors

Inside, the design is refined, elegant, and thoughtfully curated. The open-concept living room invites you to unwind with abundant Cloud couches—soft, luxurious, and perfect for sinking into after a beach day. A gas fireplace, slate flooring, and linen wall coverings add natural texture and understated warmth throughout.

Four Luxury Bedrooms for Rest & Rejuvenation

Each of the four bedrooms is a study in comfort and elegance, featuring private en-suite bathrooms with Waterworks fixtures, spa-style showers, and marble finishes. The master suite includes a $15,000 Duxiana 808 mattress, ensuring restorative sleep like never before. Another bedroom also enjoys ocean views. Two charming guest bedrooms include elevated lofts and queen beds—designed with both whimsy and comfort in mind.

Custom Details & Premium Amenities

From $10,000+ rugs by The Rug Company to museum-quality Dale Chihuly light fixtures in the dining area, the home is filled with one-of-a-kind, luxurious details that create a warm yet elevated atmosphere. Whether you're curled up with a movie or preparing a sunset dinner, the experience is infused with refinement.

Gourmet Kitchen & Dining

The fully equipped kitchen features top-tier appliances, Waterworks hardware, and everything needed to create culinary masterpieces. Enjoy meals in the elegant dining area that seats eight beneath statement lighting, or dine al fresco with the Pacific as your backdrop.

Wellness & Entertainment

Start your mornings with a cappuccino from the Jura Capresso machine and enjoy it on the deck as waves lap below. Entertainment is covered with Netflix, HBO, Showtime, Hulu, and more. For your wellbeing, the entire home features a professional-grade water filtration system, ensuring every drop is clean, fresh, and safe.

Perfect place, excellent time!

We had a blast celebrating my husband's birthday here over the weekend. The location was perfect and the property was wonderful. We were a little surprised that permanent residents also live in the house, but it turned out not to be a big deal. Everybody loved it, and we made memories to last a lifetime. Thank you!

Great trip amazing views

We had an amazing time at the Malibu beach house. The owner was great at communicating with us even let us check out later on Sunday. The views are incredible. We spent a lot of quality time on the balcony soaking all that beauty in and creating amazing memories. Highly recommend the place will definitely come back to beautiful Malibu.

Condo on the Beach

Gorgeous condo providing four bedrooms with each a connected bathroom. Porch offered views of the ocean, and a short flight of stairs lands you on the beach - great for taking a dip in the ocean or taking a walk along the beach. Amenities were plentiful and helpful. Location was close to shopping and restaurants. Overall, a great place to stay. The only drawback is the 10 am checkout as many places make it 11am. Another hour to enjoy the ocean would have been nice.

Beautiful Location Right on the Beach

Down a couple stairs & your on the beach, beautiful deck gives you the relaxing sounds of the ocean. The space is great, the beds are some of the most comfortable I’ve ever slept on. The pictures don’t quite give you the impression of how big the space really is. This is a great getaway spot we will absolutely return!!

Beautiful home and location

The location is amazing (right on the sand/ocean front) and the home is beautiful and has obviously been renovated with fabulous touches/amenities throughout. They thought about every need to make the stay enjoyable. Thank you for a wonderful time. We only stayed for 3 nights/4 days, but we plan on coming back and renting the home for a much longer period of time.

Great house, perfect location

Our family of six spent 5 nights at this house in July. Awesome place and one of the great spots in Malibu with awesome neighbors and a lovely, sandy beach, which can be rare in Malibu. We are from Santa Barbara and this is on another level. Hope to come back soon. Highly recommend!

Beautiful Home; Perfect Location

We are a family of 5. We stayed 6 days. Home is very well equipped. Property manager was very responsive with the few questions we had. Private beach is uncrowded, mostly just local home owners walking dogs. Yet only a few minutes from great shopping and dining in central Malibu!

Beautiful beach

We were surprised this rental is only the bottom floor of a three story home. The bedrooms are comfortable but we found the living area small for a four bedroom home. Other than that everything was great. It is a wonderful spot and the management was extremely helpful.

Beautiful home and location

The house was perfect for us and our two small children (6 and 2). The boys loved having the beach toys and it was amazing to be right on the sand (when we arrived, our 6yo wondered how we would sleep at night with the sound of the waves, ha!). The hot tub was perfect for warming up after splashing in the waves. The kitchen was awesome, and it was so convenient to have a washer and dryer available. Thank you!

Family weekend in Malibu

The property was perfect for a family of 8pp. The house had everything you need. We baked a cake & bbq. Watched Netflix movies and had morning walks on the beach. From the kitchen window we were able to see the sunset while we sipped a glass of wine. Perfect family stay.

Beautiful house in an incredible location

The house is in an incredible location - you can sit on the front porch and watch the waves roll in or take the stairs down to the beach and enjoy walking etc. I think the manager could have been more responsive and it was annoying that the electronic lock on the front door didn't work all weekend so whenever we left the house it was unlocked but at the same time it's not a high crime area and there are security cameras so I wasn't really nervous about getting robbed. And of course we could lock the doors when we were inside. We were there on a weekend so hard to get a contractor there to fix it, I'm sure they fixed it Monday. The kitchen was fine - we cooked a meal, not great pots and pans but usable. Bathrooms really pretty. Beds comfortable. Quiet at night - couldn't hear any cars or anything except waves (love that sound). Could hear the family upstairs at times but didn't bother me. Would def stay there again!

A great property for a weekend getaway

This house on the Malibu beach is spectacular and exactly what you need for a beach getaway. We loved every second of our stay. The house opens directly on the beach down a single set of stairs and the unit is below the owner's unit. We met the owners a few times and they were lovely. Both love to be outside and can be seen on the beach with their two amazing dogs. The inside of the unit has everything you need. The walls are a little thin so you will hear footsteps every so often. We'll definitely look to stay again sometime in the future.

Not What it Says

Wasn’t a house was more of a condo. Dogs barked every morning around 6am next to master bed. People upstairs were constantly walking and using power tools at one point. Parking spot allocated was never available. Plus there wasn’t a lock on the door that separated the two condos which was weird. Inside the home was really nice but a lot of issues otherwise.

the property and its location are amazing; we had a wonderful time, but were disappointed to find out there was construction going on right outside the window; when we arrived on Friday there was someone working right on the outside of the balcony by the hot tub, so we had to wait for him to leave in order to use the hot tub; there was a piece of plywood blocking one of the windows and the view of the ocean from the kitchen; on Saturday workers arrived in the morning and started hammering and drilling, it was very disruptive and we had to ask them to leave
