The views from this property are absolutely stunning. Sitting on our deck we saw an otter, dolphins, and even some whales in the distance. The stars were also incredibly clear overhead, which surprised us given the proximity to a big city. Views from the master bedroom are 100% ocean. We slept with the windows open and enjoyed the ocean sounds and the cool breeze.
There are steps leading down directly to the beach. Depending on the tide, sometimes the steps lead directly into the ocean and there was no beach, but on most days, we were able to walk on the beach in either direction. The place is located right on the Pacific Coast Highway, with Santa Monica Pier 20-30 minutes in one direction and the Santa Monica Mountains 20 minutes in the other direction. There are also plenty of restaurants, shops, and public beaches everywhere in between both spots.
The place is quite comfortable though not fancy. We had all that we needed for meals at home, and we made lots of use of the patio table and chairs. I barely sat down indoors! One and a half baths and two bedrooms with comfortable and firm beds with lots of extra blankets and pillows. There were also multiple washing machines in the garage and plenty of towels. We had everything we needed, and we will definitely return!

Our stay was fantastic! Everything you could need was provided. Location was fantastic. The property was appointed nicely. My family and I very much enjoyed nightly dolphin watching right outside on the rear patio. Don, the host, was responsive and offered lots of great advice for first time vistors. We will definitely be back.

Don was a terrific host! The unit was clean and the view fabulous! There are many little things that made staying here a pleasure. It’s a little crazy being off the main road, be careful driving is all. Can’t wait to go back. Thank you for making this doable financially for us. Thank you for everything! Stay with him, you will not want to leave!

The Glass House was everything we hoped for in a vacation rental! Beautiful views, great location, tons of great food near by and Don was an excellent host!

Very Cute condo and the views were great!! My daughter and I stayed for a week for her to take some classes down the road. The weather didn't let us enjoy the balcony or walking on the beach because it rained almost the whole week. But I am thankful for the much needed rain! The home is on the older side but very clean. It was nice to have access to the washer and dryer in the garage as well. Traffic is busy on that road getting in and out but we managed well. Thanks so much Don!

The breathtaking view combined with the constant sound of the ocean and the great location made this a perfect vacation rental for our week in California. We’re already planning a trip back and hope to stay here again!

This was a wonderful home right on the beach! Don is an excellent host and was in frequent communication with me. He also provided excellent instructions and vacation ideas prior to and then again on arrival. The view was spectacular and we sat on the deck for hours enjoying it. The beach is awesome and literally 50 steps from the front door. Was the home perfect? Almost! The tub could use a refinishing and the floor was a bit dusty (we cleaned it in 5 minutes) but this is one of the best VRBO rental experiences we have had and are already planning on a return visit. I rate this a 9 out of 10.

Impossible to sleep with the noise, interior is not kept up well, also with a dirty bathroom. The master bedroom mattress sits on a plywood board. All beds are uncomfortable. Kitchen has almost no supplies. I ended up staying only 1 out of the 6 nights I booked because it was impossible to sleep there. The owner said he’d refund me days and then stopped communicating with me with no refund.

Owner very friendly and personable one of the best times I’ve had on a rental property in 30 years.

We had a wonderful stay at this charming house on the water.
The ocean views were magnificent with the crashing waves beneath us.
We especially loved Fred the seagull and his friend who visited us everyday!
Thank you Don for being such a wonderful host.

We had such a wonderful time on our Malibu Getaway! Thank you for sharing your property with us. It can’t get better than finding a place right at the waters edge. We loved the view and the sound of the ocean and the waves crashing on the shoreline.
The property owner was prompt and very courteous in responding to any questions or communications we had.
We look forward to booking this property again!

The location, directly on the ocean, is what makes this rental interesting and possibly worth the price. Otherwise, the place is cheerless, not very clean (some parts of the interior, e.g. the floor fan, were downright filthy), not very well maintained (the balcony/terrace has not seen a clean ever? and the outside table was dirty and ugly).
The communication with the owner was faultless and very clear, and the checkin process as smooth as possible. There were plenty of towels.

First off, Don is a great host. Super accomodating, kind and easy to communicate with. The listing is in a great location, right on the water and has a fantastic view. The "walls of glass" really stop you dead in your tracks when you walk in, it's impressive. But that's really about it as far as what this place offers. Starting with the positive, all the basics covered in the kitchen and the bed was very comfortable. That said, the floors felt dirty, there was hair on the walls in the bathroom and in the shower from the prior guests. Paint chipping, blinds in poor condition, rusty and dusty, for the amount / night, the host should consider giving the place a little face lift to make guests feel more comfortable.

Managed by the wonderful, helpful property owner & located right on the ocean, we had a wonderful, relaxing visit. Property is clean & well set-up for a comfortable stay & location on the ocean is superb! We’ll be back!

The view was great, the only problem is their is nowhere to walk to as far as restaurants go so you have to drive and because of the location on Pacific Coast Hwy it is very dangerous to pull out of, other than that we enjoyed the stay.

This is a great property. The view is absolutely stunning. The property manager Don was an excellent host with quick replies to questions. Would ABSOLUTELY stay here again and, as a matter of fact, have already started looking at my next trip. Excellent trip! 5 stars

Had a great time. Place was clean and enjoyed my morning coffee, on the beach and on the patio. Every morning, new animals swimming in the ocean, right outside my bedroom window. Shot video, of 2 dolphins playing, as well. Great nights, of bonfires on the beach, only 2min drive. Our host was awesome and so friendly. I will definitely be staying here again.

Don is the perfect host and the property was everything you dream of. Dolphins swim by daily, the bed is comfortable, everything is labeled so you know how to turn stuff on. It was absolutely perfect.

This was a wonderful week that my family spent with 20 miles of the surf at all times. What a joy — the relaxing sounds of the surf, the dolphins and sea lions we watched and photographed from the deck. The low tide exploration of the nearby shoreline was as wonderful as advertised, and the comfort level of the space understated, if anything. We returned from whatever we did during our daylight excursions to come back to meals we made (or got from the recommended take-out places), and relaxed watching the stars come out, and the lighted surf literally bring about total nervous system calming. Will definitely try to book this place again when we can make it work.
5.0
We had a great time at Don’s place. Just to hear the ocean all day and night is very special but to stay and live on the beach is remarkable. We’ll definitely be back

Beautiful panoramic ocean view and enjoyed going out at low tide to explore the beach. Nice linens and the well-equipped kitchen made it easy to cook a few meals. Plenty of hiking trails nearby, state parks, stunning beaches and site seeing. The highway is busy and fast. Communication was just right and the stay went smoothly. Great memories!

simply one of my favorite places I've ever stayed. HUGE windows let the sunshine in...and the gorgeous sound of the waves are ever-present. The bed is VERY comfortable...the bedroom on the water is a good size. The second bedroom is small. The TVs are perfectly placed in each room. Open. Airy. Water. Water. Water. and the sun setting over water. Wow.

The place was perfect for us. Good communication with the owner. Compared to other similar rentals, this is a perfect location if you want to be right on the water without spending a small fortune!
Can’t wait to book again.

Wonderful property right on the Ocean as described. Waves are beautiful but very loud, we enjoyed. Beach was only available a few hours a day due to the Fall tides.
Small but open footprint for living space. Comfortable beds, King room is Oceanfront, Twin room is a bit of a cave but all space is maximized, linens are clean and closets have great storage space.
12cup coffee maker and some additional kitchen amenities (dish rack and towels) are a must for such a landlocked property (we ended up getting our own). Front parking and Garage entrance are a wonderful perk for this location.
We are looking forward to another stay at Don's place.

The view is incredible, it feels as if you are on a ship. It is a perfect place to experience Malibu. The minute you open the door, the ocean greets you. Don was a wonderful host, had everything ready the minute we arrived. Seeing dolphins swimming so close to you as you enjoy your own private beach was a plus. Will definitely be back, regardless of the season.

No one called to open the door we stood on the busiest highway with cars zooming by at 80 miles an hour the manager did not answer her phone. The didn’t put in the code numbers I gave them for the door. Next door there was a shack with holes in a decaying road in front. No where for guests to park because you couldn’t cross the 4 lane hiway without getting killed the ocean came up to the house. No beach area within walking distance. At least 5 mile ride to nearest beach. You have to pay to get in.
