About this villa rental
Summary:
Nestled in the Malibu Hills overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Rancho Miramar is truly a one-of-a-kind experience in LA. The photos don't due justice to the serenity and relaxation that embrace you while on the property. And while it's only minutes from the convenience of Pacific Coast Highway and all the amenities of Malibu, you feel miles away and completely disconnected from the bustle of LA. Wake up to the sounds of birds and breathe in the noticeably fresher air. Gaze at the unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean and the Malibu Canyon from the cliffside jacuzzi and outdoor dining table (the sunsets are breathtaking). Stroll the property's 6 acres and find little treasures everywhere- swings, a hammock, and even animals (Alpacas, a sheep, ponies, horses, and chicken :). This estate is a rare gem that you will never forget.
The 4 bedroom 3 bathroom home feels like luxury farmhouse living. The custom-designed wooden interior finishes and newly renovated features offer supreme comfort for you and your close ones. Outside you'll find a spacious brick entertainer's dream pavilion with 2 ovens (only one is working at the moment), a grill, wood fired pizza oven, lounge area, dining table, and even a private bar :). This dream property truly has everything your family or group needs to deeply relax, engage, and indulge. Leave the big city energy behind without leaving the city, and have a truly one of a kind experience in the hills above the Pacific in your private luxury ranch cocoon.

I wanted to give some more details based on my recent experience that might be useful for others looking at this property.
Pros:
1) Obviously beautiful location
2) rooms/beds as described. Comfortable mattresses
3) clean
4) charming, with a beach hippie vibe
5) well stocked kitchen and bathrooms (I brought my own kitchen knives since we are somewhat local)
6) fast responses from owner
7) Tesla charger
Cons:
1) the house is not super tightly sealed from the exterior so there are “visitors” from the outside that got in. It’s just part and parcel of the beach shack vibe although sealing holes and gaps and installing window screens would solve this.
2) the exterior furniture is quite weathered and some of it needs to be replaced. We did not spend as much time outside as we would have liked to.
3) the dishwasher does not wash well; we ended up just washing things by hand. While the outdoor grill fired up, the ignition had to be done manually and it wasn’t really as clean as I like to keep my grill.
4) none of the tv remotes worked or didn’t have functioning batteries. We ended up bringing batteries of our own and then took them back home with us. Obviously not a huge deal, but somewhat annoying.
5) queries before check out, which is a slightly busy time to begin with, that included requests to start a load of laundry before we departed and asking if we were going to check out early. Not a huge deal, but yet another thing to add to my list as we organized our departure.

This property was a wonderful oasis for our extended family to enjoy indoor and outdoor time together.

We had difficulty using the key code. We were in touch months in advance hoping for early check in. Waited to hear all afternoon about the status of our check in time. We were never contacted and we waited all afternoon to hear. Time was important- we had our son’s wedding. Upstairs bathroom was not clean. Stains on toilet seat.
4.8
This was a fantastic house and great property. Farm is cool. Views are great! Will stay again.

My husband and I rented this house for a portion of our honeymoon. The views are unbelievable and the property is beautiful, however communication with the owners isn’t great. At one point on our trip we were playing music on the house speakers very quietly at noon on a Tuesday and we received texts from the owner threatening to charge us extra if we didn’t turn it off. We were also expecting there to be an outdoor TV screen based on the photos of the property, but there wasn’t. When we checked in at 4pm, the cleaners were still working until around 6pm so we just had to sit around awkwardly until they left (not really how you want to kick off your honeymoon). None of these things are huge deals, just kind of annoying when you’re paying over a thousand dollars a night. All in all I wouldn’t rent this property again, however it was beautiful
4.8
The property was beautiful but on our first full day there we smelled something awful for a few hours and when we realized it was coming from under the couch, we found 2 decomposing mice on sticky traps. That night we also saw a mouse running across the kitchen floor. My friend also found a cricket in her pillow. We alerted the property managers and were told how strange that was and that we were probably leaving doors open. We weren’t.
After insisting, pest control came the next day to put out more traps (hope they check them moving forward) and spray around the perimeter of the house to avoid insects coming in.
After this we no longer found insects inside but the mouse running across the floor while we were watching TV was a nightly occurrence. A lot more needs to be done to control these kind of vermin inside the house. We have enjoyed the house during our stay. I hope there is better coordination with pest control in the future. For now, we want to believe the cleaning crew did a very thorough job before we got here, but it is difficult to believe that they did not smell the dead mice. They need to be more careful in the future, and perhaps not clean just the surfaces. Some of us also live, or have lived, in rural areas, and understand critters happen, but it is also expected that when we pay as much as we did for a place of this caliber, that we would expect not to find dead or live mice inside the house. only received $200 back for all these problems so buyer beware
4.8
Great view and grounds. A little smaller than the photo impressions but overall, great experience. House numbers are not on the house so it was hard to know if I was at the correct house. There are only 3 house options on that road so know that you are the right road. Just find the house that looks similar to the photos. Keep in mind, you are pulling into the driveway and it looks a bit different.
4.8
This is the second time I have rented this property and we love it. The view is to die for- once you walk in you are immediately blown away by the amazing view in front of you. The outside living spaces make this hope truly special. The outside kitchen is a dream- and has the cutest outside bar!!!! Can’t wait to rent it again.
4.8
This property is so beautiful. There is so much to do, you dont even need to worry about making outside plans. Everything was clean and everything had what they need. The only mishap was the check in process (door wouldn't unlock) but the property managers were available to help. We had a great time.
4.8
The atmosphere and views can't be beat!
The property is Magical! .Will def.return.
The downside is it is hard to get to and no phone service.
4.8
Beautiful, unique, nostalgic property. Only drawback is check in should be well before sunset in winter to allow for safe drive.
4.8
This property is one of a kind, there is no other property that can come close to the quality of the service and details provided within this home.

Overall I had a great time for my low key bachelorette there! It is very hard to get there but the views are worth it. The property manager was easy to talk to by email. The views were gorgeous. The pictures of the actual vrbo was accurate. They had a low of new appliances from Viking. We cooked a lot of food while we were there. The only big issue was there was a mouse in the VRBO when we got there but the area does have a lot of wild life. Also, the jacuzzi had a lot of bugs so we did not end up going for a dip. Overall, my friends and I made great memories there
4.8
Wonderful stay!! responsive hosts, clean with all the needed comforts, peaceful setting, beautiful view!
4.8
The property has amazing views and outdoor spaces. Both the property and the house were beautiful. We hired a singer/guitarist for our last night during sunset, and it was an incredible evening outside. The property manager was very responsive and helpful. We had a wonderful weekend. The only downside was the bugs, though I think that’s expected with being deep in nature. Lol. Just come prepared with bug spray. The only other thing to be aware of is Lyft seems to be the only service who will pick you up at the house, so schedule your ride in advance and you should have no problem. Great house, great stay!
4.8
Had a short stay at the property, it is absolutely stunning. Beautifully set up with a lot of activities to do.
My only gripe is that the Hot Tub was not very intuitive, we were not able to get the Heat to work.
4.8
Me and my seven friends had a lovely time in this home. It's exactly as described, and the outdoors are truly amazing. Based on other reviews I was afraid we might hear from the owners about noise or parking, but we went inside each night at 10 p.m. and didn't hear anything.
My only advice: bring a portable speaker if you want to be able to listen to music.
I'd love to stay again.

beautiful property, great outdoor space & great communications!

It was an Amazing trip such a peaceful place to connect with nature.

We were a party of 7 for a bachelorette weekend. The property is beautiful with lots of space inside and out with gorgeous views. We hired a chef to come and cook for us and the property management was able to connect me to a bartender. It was a good weeknd and the bride enjoyed her time here.
4.8
I stayed here with my 2 sisters stayed here for a long weekend. The Host was very responsive! When asking about using the hot tub he got back to us very shortly with simple video instructions. It was an awesome place to unwind!
4.8
A comfortable stay at a beautiful property.

I stayed at the Malibu home over Thanksgiving with many of my family members, including a 5 year old. It was the perfect place to get away for a few days - the property was excellent, including the hot tub, the llamas and horses, and of course THE VIEW!! It was also convenient that the home is so close to downtown Malibu.
There were a few items missing or not working at the home, but the property managers were extremely communicative during my stay, and very receptive to the feedback.
We had a fabulous time, and highly recommend this property! I can't wait to stay here again!

Malibu cabin nestled in the mountains with picturesque views of the Pacific. We could not have asked for a better experience and can’t wait to go back.
4.8
I recently had a family reunion with my siblings here and the property was absolutely perfect for what we wanted, a place to relax and enjoy the beauty. We enjoyed every outdoor space equally. We even used the wood fire oven for pizzas!
The communication between us and the property was great and our host even offered to drop off some items we forgot at the house.
I highly recommend this property for any event or intimate gathering.
4.8
Property was so beautiful and the view….. breathtaking. The outside entertainment area is incrediable. I could spend all day outside at this property.
Property manager super responsive and although it was a work trip it was still nice to come back and relax at this beautiful home
4.8
We absolutely loved this property. The views and house are even better than the pictures. The staff and especially Alice were extremely accommodating and quick to respond. We had the perfect tiny wedding here and appreciated all of the unique outdoor spaces (backyard, patio, ping pong area). The interior of the house was even bigger than expected. If we could do it over we would choose this property again!
4.8
Beautiful property and great stay
The management team was great and made our event here really wonderful. Thank you!

There seems to be an automated system of cameras for noise outside. We weren't being loud, but any noise seems to trigger the cameras and a man yelling at us through the device. I then got an immediate text message saying any noise outside past 10pm would result in "eviction" I understand wanting to keep things quiet due to the area and neighbors and we're very respectful of that. It's not comforting to feel threatened in a home you're renting.
