Great location right on the beach and midway between short walk to the pier and Nobu. If you want quiet, be prepared for loud surf, but this is exactly what we were looking for! Beautiful panoramic view, and cute ducks on the beach in the morning. We would definitely come back!

Lovely location, amazing view and condo on the water so waves crashing in were so relaxing to watch. Had blankets and heaters to keep warm on cool evenings outside. Keep in mind you can’t be on the balcony after 10pm. We were talking quietly and the neighbor told us we had to go inside since it was quiet hours.

We are glad to hear that guests enjoyed the location and the sound of the waves. It is also great to hear we did a good job accommodating them during their stay. Guests may be at the balcony at all times, just be mindful that other guests might be sleeping. We look forward to having back to stay with us soon. Malibu Beach Rental Properties

You cannot beat this location! We spent hours sitting on the beach, just steps away from the condo and walking distance to the pier! Angel was at the property to greet us and was so helpful with anything we needed! The beds and linens were great and the kitchen was well appointed. Great stay and we would definitely come again!!

We had a great stay at this beachfront condo in Malibu from Wednesday through today. The condo was very clean, comfortable, and exactly what we were hoping for. The host was extremely responsive and helpful, especially when we had a small issue with a clogged toilet that was resolved quickly. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again.

If you love the smell of sea air and the sound of waves crashing each night this is the place for you. We were delighted to have such close proximity to the ocean and fell in love with sitting on the deck each morning and leaving our slider doors open at night. Our only concern was we traveled at a very high rip tide season/week and my kids could not really enjoy the beach below due to the high tides and ruff waters. The condo was older and may need a few upgrades soon, but we hardly noticed since we just enjoyed the overall location and view. If you don't mind simple and low key accommodations and are not expecting some fancy beach house, you will appreciate this property and all it has to offer. We spent most of our time at the beach a few miles up the road and Point Dume. We loved how close it was to most restaurants and the pier. Overall we were satisfied with our stay and would visit again!

We are glad to hear you enjoyed the sea air, and the sound of waves and our wonderful location and its surroundings. It was unfortunate that your stay coincided with high tides. We look forward to having you for another visit with low tides. Best regards, Malibu Beach Rental Properties
