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.

The view is amazing. Location was great for us to tour Pepperdine.

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.

Great beach front property!! Thoroughly enjoyed the patio and relaxing to the sound of the ocean!! House was extremely clean and smelled fresh upon our arrival! Plenty of fresh, clean towels and kitchen supplies!! Bed was very comfortable with plenty of pillows! Angel met us at the property, showed us around and was extremely welcoming, friendly & helpful our entire stay!! Walking distance to Malibu pier and many restaurants! Would definitely recommend and stay here again if we’re ever in the Malibu area! :)

Beautiful space, gorgeous view! very clean! Angel provided great service and was super helpful to our needs

This property did not disappoint! I was impressed with the cleanliness of all the rooms and appliances, and loved the new waterproof luxury vinyl flooring. The sound of the waves and seagulls was perfect for reading on the deck in late afternoon.
Many thanks to Angel and the housekeeping staff for making me feel welcome and helping me to get settled in this little piece of paradise. I hope a return trip is in my future.

Amazing location. It was fantastic walking to the noise of the ocean hitting the rocks outside our windows. Angel was a huge help and so informative

Celebrated our 50th by the sea. Cozy, quiet, romantic. Love that the waves lap beneath the home at night.

I did not want to leave! The waves crashing right under the balcony, watching the sunrise and sunset plus nature was perfect. The home was comfortable. I thought the floors could have been cleaned better when I arrived but then realized the doors have gaps so some of the debris comes in. The lcoation was perfect to walk around town, to the pier, eateries, and of course the beach. Even when the tide is up you just go a short ways to the other side of the pier and have access to the beach.

This place was absolutely amazing and the on site staff are the best!
Would recommend 10/10 to anyone!

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.

Often times pictures oversell what you’re getting with a condo, that is not the case for this condo. From the moment you walk in, the ocean view and sound of the waves crashing beneath the deck was just incredible. The unit is so assessable to great places in and around Malibu. The bed was super comfortable. You may not have a view of the water in the bedroom but you 100% can hear and sometimes feel the waves crashing on the beach. There are a lot of awesome restaurants but don’t snooze on the Pizza place across the street, D’amores, it was ridiculously good. Brunch at Inn of the Seventh Ray in Topanga was excellent and it’s a beautiful drive 20 minutes from the condo.
This place is great. Angel was a great host/property manager.

What a great place to stay in Malibu! Location is perfect and the accommodations were perfect for our needs; parking, a fully equipped kitchen, a deck directly above the waves, an endless view of the Pacific and a very comfortable bed. The instructions to get into the property were perfectly outlined in the “here are your keys” and helpful Angel was on property if you need any assistance. The Malibu Pier is a short walk away, as is NOBU for a nice dinner. We chose to go to Costco and Whole Foods for wine, snacks and our dinners to bring back to the cottage. We will definately return to stay at this charming beachfront home.

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

Spent most of our time on the patio and at the dining room table enjoying the view of the ocean and sound of the waves. Great place to relax for a few days. Walking distance to the Pier.

Had high hopes and paid quite a bit for this property but was a let down. For one it’s definitely only “Oceanside” and not “beachside”. There is no beach at all in front. There is no air conditioning although it was ok most of the time. The property is dated and could use some renovating. Garage is nice but not large enough to fit anything much larger than a sedan. Angel was a very nice and helpful person on site but the property management was a struggle to get information about check in and received nothing about check out. Very convenient to the pier and walkable to other locations.

Me and my best friend stayed at the oceanfront cottage on Carbon Beach for 3 nights. The apartment was right on top of the ocean that you could access right down the stairs at low tide, but not for very long nor to lounge on sandy beach. That kind of beach is a few minutes of a walk down the street. Sitting on the balcony to watch the waves, sunset and sealife was so nice, but the patio furniture cushions that were there were all wet due to the high tide, so had to ask Angel to bring up a couple of plastic chairs to make it more pleasant. Once he did that, all was good. The bed was comfortable, but the pull out couch was not, even though its fine to sit on, its not comfortable to sleep in and the mattress
& springs need to be replaced. Plenty of towels and kitchen necessities were provided and also beach chairs. If staying on Malibu beach is on your bucket list, although pricey, this is the place.

Beautiful views of the ocean! Not fancy but that’s not
The vibe of this place. It’s really about the views and ocean access.

This place was great: the view is stunning, the place is clean and updated (would guess was built in the 1950s). The property manager greeted us, which was a nice touch. There is a 1-car garage on site. Location ideal: easy to walk to many restaurants or the beach. At high tide, the surf comes up to just under the deck, so it you are hoping to lay out on the beach, would suggest walking a few blocks down PCH to the coastal access path where there is more sand. The bed is super comfy and there is a large selection of bath and beach towels. Good assortment of cooking utensils, pans, dishes, etc. A dishwasher is in the unit. Laundry room on site, but we didn't use or investigate. Slept like a dream with the sound of the surf crashing against the rocks! Will definitely come back.

I loved our stay at this location. I have stayed at many VRBOs on the California coast and this is my favorite by far. The proximity to the ocean, hearing the waves crash on the sand, smelling the sea. We loved it and will be back again!

We so much enjoyed the sunrises and sunsets, and the apartment's good light. Bed very comfortable. The one-car garage is convenient, though very tight - but we were grateful that it was there at all. In high tide, the apartment is literally in the ocean - in low tide, there is a pretty beach in front. The apartment is simply but adequately equipped. Angel, the caretaker, is very pleasant to deal wth!

At this price point I expected a much nicer property. Everything was very old and dirty feeling. Lots of ants. Some of it was natural “beach” wear and tear (sticky doors, wavy floors, etc.) Master bed was comfortable but the pull out couch was truly terrible. We really only used this place to sleep and wake up in (as we had family in a bigger property in Malibu) so for that it suited our needs fine. If we were using the space more (to cook, hang out in, etc.) I would have been very disappointed. The proximity to the beach, view, and the ocean waves crashing was amazing. That was the redeeming quality. I wouldn’t book this place again but staying that close to the ocean was magical so if that’s on your bucket list this is probably a more affordable option in Malibu.

Location is great. On the water access to hiking in the many trails in the Malibu hills area that overlook the ocean.
The place is comfortable and has amenities,
Iike a full kitchen.
If you are looking for a Hollywood high end condo on the water this is not it. And it’s not priced like those high end places. This is a basic apartment that’s been around a while. It’s priced competitively versus any hotel in the area and you get more space and ocean walks.

This place was perfect. Well stocked with beach chairs and toys and close to everything. Check in was a breeze. Not a single issue.
