Malibu Waterfront Gallery + Private Beach Access

10/10 Excellent
"Daniel is an excellent host and communicator. The property was spotless and has a million-dollar review of the ocean. There was an unusual heat wave while we were there, but the AC kept us cool. (Pro tip: the controls are behind the master bedroom door.) While it’s right on the water, accessing the nearest beach does require a two-minute walk and then a ramp and a few steps. The kitchen is well outfitted, but we didn’t cook since we were only there two nights. Beds are very comfortable, and the bath towels are soft. Daniel allowed us to park our rental car in the garage, which was a big plus. We wouldn’t hesitate to return."

"10/10 experience at this beautiful home. I can’t even express how wonderful this home is in words. There were 6 of us staying here and we fit very comfortably and Jeff was SO fast and responsive and was there to help us with everything. He is a rockstar!! I love that the home has everything you need. And if for any reason something isn’t there, Jeff can make it happen. He also graciously let us stay an additional night as there wasn’t someone booking after us and we were celebrating my bachelorette. We loved him. The water was warm and swimmable and we found so much beautiful seaglass :) …you basically have your own private beach. There’s no one else around (which I loved and wanted). My friends and I laid out on the deck(s) and spent some time in the jacuzzi too. It’s sooo relaxing!! I was also able to get a yoga session in because he had yoga mats!! That was SO nice :) Already planning my return. Thanks Jeff!!"
