Great Location

We had a great stay at Sandpiper. It’s a great location in the heart of Malibu near the pier. The ocean comes underneath the elevated property during high tide, very cool. Sue was great to work with and we’ll return if ever back in Malibu.

Ocean Peace

Cottage-feel in the rental was perfect for me. I was looking for peaceful place to stay while my husband was in the hospital after major surgery. The cupboards and kitchen are old but serviceable--I'm sure that if the apartment was "updated" it would have to be much more expensive to rent. Angel, one of the property-keepers, was warm and welcoming. I hope I'm able to come again to enjoy a stay on the beach.

I was in Malibu to record an audio book. Two team members met with me at this rental. Amazingly, given the excitement and focus this work required, both of these guys said meeting at my rental, not the studio, was the highlight of the trip. Sue, Angel and team do a great job

SAVE YOUR MONEY!

We are from Virginia and had been saving for this trip for our 53td Anniversary. Our granddaughter and husband with our 2 great great grandchildren age 20months and 6 months surprised us and stayed 2 nights. !. No Air Conditioning! 2. No screens for any windows! 3. There is not parking for 2 cars unless you have 2 subcompacts. MADE US MOVE 1 OF OUR CARS. I had to pay to park in a garage 1 day and a parking lot the next. You have to fight for parking on the street. 4. ANTS ARE TERRIBLE!! THEY ARE EVERYWHERE AND INTO EVERYTHING. Flying bugs came in at night. ( NO SCREENS) 5. WIFI and CELL SERVICE IS TERRIBLE! 6. The beach front is terrible, all ROCKS. We are 70 and I am a Disabled Vietnam Veteran. You have to go over to another set of buildings to go to the beach. 7. This place is old with old appliances ( Dishwasher didn't work). Floors are wood and need major repair. 8. Pictures in advertisement of this place in our opinion are false. 9. Not a place for seniors or children. Pros 1. Ocean view

Perfect location next to Malibu Pier. We were right on the water and listened to the waves crash below our deck.One bedroom with comfortable king sized bed. Living room, kitchen, and bathroom very clean and exactly as depicted in pictures.Angel, the manager was waiting in the parking area when we arrived and he walked us through the unit.Communicating thru VRBO answered all my questions immediately.I would stay here again.

Amazing Malibu getaway

Highly recommend this property. Amazing view. Very clean. Comfortable bed. My only criticism (very minor) is if you want to eat outside with a bigger table, seems like you need to book the two bedroom property . They still have patio chairs on the deck so you can enjoy the view while having to have tea and coffee. This is my third time and it never disappoints!

Location location location. That is 100% It was clean but looks like the bones of it hasn’t been remodeled in 20+ years, ie cracks in ceiling, old school look definitely. Bed was comfortable though! The property manager here was amazing. His name is Angel and he was always around and so sweet and helpful.

Amazing ocean front but inside needs help!

We booked this property because of its proximity to Pepperdine. We flew to CA and rented a large car since we were moving our child into the dorms. The property was not able to accommodate a large SUV in the parking area. The onsite PM, Angel, who is super nice and helpful allowed us to park at the adjacent lot on the last night of our stay; otherwise we had to find parking along PCH. The ocean deck is a wonderful amenity but otherwise the property needs some attention. We had a soft spot in the subfloor (water damage) in front of the sink, ants in the bathroom and bedroom, plugs that arced and fried 2 charging cords. There is no overhead fan in the bedroom and no way to block the light from the sidewalk outside. There are two working portable fans and an overhead fan in the dining area. Bring eye mask if you need a dark room. It was difficult to get the bedroom very cool to sleep since we did not feel it safe to leave the back door open all night. The check in and check out were super easy and simple, but if you are concerned with safety, the locks are physically keyed (no electronic lock) and apparently not re-keyed between guests.

Beautiful property on the water. Unexpected charges.

Nice location walking distance to Malibu pier. Stairs that lead directly to a rocky beach, with sandy beach a quick walk away from there. Aviator Nation Dreamland is a fantastic restaurant walking distance, great happy hour specials. Duke's a short drive away was great as well. Garage and parking lot are tight, took a few times to get used to mavigating in and out of the spot. After our stay we were charged $50 for replacing 8 white towels and bathroom rug that had stains. We didn't do anything crazy, just normal walking and beach activities. Towels left on the ground picked up residual dirt, and rugs are meant to be stepped on. Feel like some bleach could have taken care of things. Overall great property and location, just be careful with towels and rug to avoid extra charges.
