This location is incredible, with great views, access to the beach, and so easy to just fall in to and relax. My wife and I took the upstairs bedroom, and loved it. The AC unit provided great cooling in the day, and great warming in the night. It was upper 50s at night and up to 80 in the day, and we had no trouble with keeping it comfortable around 70 all the time. It did take us a little bit to discover the remote for that upstairs unit (on the stand under the TV of course!).
Our teenage girls (14 and 18) stayed in the downstairs bedroom, and were completely at home from the moment we walked in. They loved the balcony with beach view and our 18 year old spent a lot of time there with her books and journal. This trip was all for her as her 'senior graduation trip', and this place made it a top notch experience.
We did have a little challenge when we went to leave the house for the first time, as we couldn't figure out how to open the gates from the inside! Eventually we found another remote in the downstairs bedroom, and we were on our way.
Everything worked great, and was clean and easy to use. The appliances were top of the line, and we never wanted for anything.
Peggy even coordinated with a repairman to fix a little drywall where a leak had occurred, and she made it happen while were out.
Peggy, our host, was very responsive to our calls/texts, and provided an amazing experience. We will definitely look this up again the next time we trek to Malibu!
