If you are looking to stay right on the beach, this is your place! We had a great time here but wanted to emphasize that this place is almost exclusively about the view. At this price point, we perhaps naively expected it to be a nicer than it was (there were no rugs, the pans were cheap, knives dull, no dishwasher, etc.). It was clean and generally "fine" to be sure and at a lower price point we would be raving about it. If you are expecting something like the Ritz or Four Seasons, this is not it. But the view and location are just as advertised.

Old school charm. Perfect deck for recounting the day. Private beach is everything you want. Waves crashing underneath as you sleep. Can’t beat it..

If you like ocean waves, great views and great location, this place is for you! Not kidding when i say this place is on the beach. Gorgeous! Highly recommend staying here. It's close to restaurants, shopping and most important, the beach is right at your tiptoes. Very clean and romantic for a couple too.

We are repeat customers to this awesome property! You can't beat the location! It's an older property, but well-kept and clean - managers are always helpful and friendly. We will return!

Excellent host and beach property. Check out the tide table to plan your days, sometimes the beach is completely covered by the ocean water. Loved it here

The place is clean and convenient to the beach though the unit itself seems a bit dated especially the toilet. Otherwise, we had a great time.

My husband and I had the perfect vacation staying in this beachfront suite. It’s location is stunning. You can hear the waves breaking beneath you. Check in is easy. The suite is clean, and had everything we needed. We found restaurants, bars, local beaches and food stores, really easily, just a few minutes away. We spent 10 days here but could have easily stayed for longer. It was exactly what we needed.

Malibu Haven
Wonderful location and a true beach cottage.
It’s small so most ideal for 2-3 people.
The location and sounds of the waves crashing at night was pure heaven!

Perfect little getaway on the beach
Bungalow 10 was exactly as described. A small little place right on Carbon beach with access. The place was older but well maintained and was perfect for a couple or small family. The beach access is relatively easy when the tide is low which allows a nice walk looking at the magnificent beach homes on Billionaire’s Beach. There’s restaurants, fast food, grocery stores and anything else you need very close by. I would rent here again if ever needing a place in Malibu.

Beautiful beach bungalow.
Excellent place with views to die for. Panoramic sunrise and sunset, sounds of the waves, ocean breeze, this place was perfect.
The place was clean and all basics provided.
The host was very responsive to all my queries.
Would love to come back in the summers.
Supriya.

in the Bucket list of trips, this was a Full Pail
There is no better beach in continental USA than Carbon Beach in Malibu and this accommodation was the gateway to all the wonderful things available. Housing was clean, bed comfortable, parking easy and plenty of room for my husband and me. When I had to get in touch with Cruz, the manager, he was timely, quick and resolved everything to my satisfaction. We will be back

Birthday By The Beach
A perfect setting. Each of us had our own oasis bungalow, with two shared private staircases. We hung out together through sunsets and moonrise’s, high tides and low tides with beach walks and ocean swims. We talked to surfers walking by carrying their surfboards, and shared our staircase with them for a rest. We saw dolphins and seagulls. We went to Cross Creek for an outdoor Italian birthday dinner and were home in minutes to celebrate with champagne and bday cake, and our gas fireplace, serenaded by the crashing waves and the fresh sea breeze.
The plants, flowers and trees are much and verdant. We were on vacation and we made memories to last a lifetime.
We, and many of my friends who heard about our celebration trip, are already planning our next stay.
Thank you to Cruz and Team!!!

Calming Ocean Sounds & Views
Our little cottage tucked away off the busy CA1 was a gem. It was well maintained and tastefully decorated. We enjoyed sitting on the patio watching and hearing the waves crash onto the small, private beach below us. We had all amenities - fireplace, TV with access to Netflix/Amazon/Hulu, super comfy bed, and toiletries in the bathroom. The kitchen was adequately stocked for our needs. It was a great place to relax, unwind, and reset for a few days.
The beach in front of the cottage is very small, and depending on the tides, you may not be able to enjoy playing in the water. We happened to stay when the tides were higher, so the ocean waves come high onto the beach, and sometimes under the house. The sounds of the waves crashing were wonderful, but if you're looking for a play beach, just mind the tide schedule and plan accordingly.
Overall, I would stay here again or in another cottage in a heartbeat.

Picture perfect few days in Malibu. No stress. No drama. Everything was as Cruz said it would be. Cruz and staff were more than accommodating. Location absolutely perfect. Only problem is we had to leave. Can’t wait to return!

Send and surf at your feet
If location is everything, then this is it. Bungalow #10 Is one of the few standalone units along that stretch of coast, just a dozen steps down to the sand and a virtually private beach. At low tide, you can walk for miles along the beach. At high tide you can walk along PCH. Either way, you're just a short walk from the Malibu pier with the best dining and view at the Malibu Farm cafe and restaurant. Walk a few minutes more to the Malibu lagoon and the Malibu country mart outdoor shopping mall. Plenty of great places to eat from beach casual to fancy dining just a short drive away. And you can spend a day in Topanga Canyon (for sure, dinner at the Inn of the 7th Ray).
And if you want to sit by the waves on the sand or the bungalow's wonderful deck and let the surf wash your spirit clean, or rock you to sleep at night, this is the place.
The bungalow was neat and clean and had everything we needed.
Cruz Mertens is a friendly and responsive host, and we would definitely stay here again.

Weekend in Malibu
The location is awesome. As advertised is right in the sand.
However, the property is run a little run down. It desperately need some TLC. The water faucet in the kitchen leaks when opened. The bathroom sink was plugged and accumulating water. When I called the manager he offered to send someone on the day we left, so the sink was not fixed while we were there.

Love this place
This is our favorite property we have rented in L.A., maybe anywhere. Of course the view and the ocean are spectacular, but the details made it so cozy and amazing (e.g., clean white super comfortable bedding, tasteful decorations, TVs, parking).

Fantastic Malibu location
Location doesn’t get any better. You are staying right on the ocean — you can hear the waves hitting the shore all night. You have a nice veranda overloooking the Pacific and access to a private beach. Hope to return.

Perfect!
Absolutely perfect! It was just what I needed to reset and remember that this world is beautiful and life is wonderful. Thank you so much. The place is gorgeous, relaxing and better than I expected! I emend saw a dolphin or shark...whale? I look forward to returning for a longer stay!

Malibu Bungalow
Absolutely loved this place! Its so cute, quaint, and peaceful! Little gem in Malibu right next to Nobu and Malibu Farm. My boyfriend and I rented this to have a Staycation and get a change of scenery from being in our home the last 2 months. It was much needed and exactly what we were looking for. Cruz, the house manager was very communicative and responsive. Highly recommend!
