All about location

The location was 5 star, but the property itself was very underwhelming… Not very clean, furniture was worn out, uncomfortable beds, smaller than expected (doesn’t fit 6 comfortably), outside smelled like cat urine. But again, the location was fabulous.

Location Location Location!

Ideal location for first time to Malibu! Great dining options within 5 min walk to the pier. Malibu Farms offered healthy options with indoor and outdoor seating (great view of the surfers) - a welcomed surprise! Other restaurants within walking. Pepperdine University is a 5 min drive down the street - beautiful campus with Sunday morning church service. An occasional dolphin and sea lion was spotted off our balcony and many surfers to watch near the pier. Would highly recommend.

amazing location

This property is right on the ocean and the waves break loudly (good thing for me) and the water literally flows under the property. We kept the sliding doors open at night and the surf allowed us to sleep very well. The place has not been updated, the bed's mattress is not great, and there is no dishwasher. Otherwise, I recommend this property.

The Dolphin - Malibu

The Dolphin was just as advertised, just as expected. A bright welcoming and comfortable interior matched with a lustrous and breathtaking exterior right on the beach. Completely outfitted with everything you could need, it satisfied our "get away from home' needs so well. Great communication with the host, so kind and friendly. We can't wait to return there again someday soon. A++++

Always one of our favorite places to relax

Angel, the property manager, will take great care of you. this beach house is perfect - nothing fancy but everything you need to just relax. It's nearby many great restaurants and the grocery store is five minutes away. We've stayed here a few times now and will keep coming back. Our favorite part is "coffee with the dolphins" every morning1

Very Old

The condo floors were very dirty, pots and pans were horrible, stove top burners did not work. Floor Tiles were cracked and older people can not get into the bathtub because it is way too high. Sleep 6 but they only have 4 chairs.

Perfect beachfront location

You can't get closer to the beach and loved the sound of the waves at night as we went to sleep. It's a great place and very sweet beachy decor. The property manager was terrific as well. Only area of development would be having a dishwasher in the unit.

Not to be missed!

This is a very special spot. Everything you need for your stay PLUS astounding view of the sea, birds and wildlife. Close to Malibu Pier with lovely restaurant. Couldn’t ask for better. Will come back! The only recommendation I’d make is arrive with groceries to get started.

Great spot!

We had a great stay at this location. There where 4 of us, including 2 teens and we had plenty of space. Lots of kitchen items for cooking and dining as well as plenty of choice for eating out. The property is right on the beach and the waves do come right in, we loved it! Saw dolphins and sealions daily. Very easy access onto the beach, boys enjoyed surfing and we enjoyed morning walks on the beach with our coffee. Great sized balcony to enjoy the views. We would come back!

Fantastic location!

The shower is only accessible by climbing over a three foot high and two foot wide rampart, which seems like a lawsuit waiting to happen and was pretty difficult to access. Anyone older or with any mobility problems should be aware of this. Besides that, this place is A+++! The owner and property manager are friendly and extremely helpful, and you're RIGHT on the water (which is why you are here!)- it's easily accessible and a beautiful walk. We'll definitely stay here again!

We had a nice time. Location couldn’t be better. The property manager was 5 star! Only complaints are too many remotes make watching TV difficult and lots of corrosion on things from the salt air. But guess that’s what happens!

Great location

A good deal on the Malibu oceanfront and very easy to get to everywhere in the area. Great to have secure parking. A few things to know, you are literally over the waves. This is very cool and can be loud for some to sleep with. Short walk to a sandy beach but not really right out front (unless super low tide). Place is good, but could use some updating and cozying up + tub/shower mix awkward to get into.

Sun, sea and sand

I've returned here many times. It's a great spot on top of magical Malibu carbon beach. My only concern was with some noisy long-term tenants(as I did in the past) I guess being considerate of neighbours doesn't come naturally to all. The property manager was responsive and offered generous extra free nights. Thanks!
