Having stayed at many lovely rental properties around the world I can offer an informed review of ~7 out of 10 for this home. The home is directly on the beach with wonderful views of dolphins and ocean sunsets. The location is very convenient to shops and restaurants and the beach is perfect for walking. Unfortunately the doors that access the back deck and beach are not able to be locked from the exterior (we requested a key but were denied), so either a member of our party had to stay in the house or lock and leave via the front door and walk along PCH to find a beach access point. The temperature in the home vacillated between hot and cold, until we Google searched the HVAC thermostats and determined that a daily schedule had been set for the home that changed multiple temps and times during the day and night. We contacted the Stay Awhile office regarding several maintenance issues, and they sent a service tech out on Saturday to resolve the thermostat issues as well as toilet not working, shower leaking, etc. The service tech was very kind and attentive to resolving all the issues that he could. We had multiple challenges with Stay Awhile communications and lack of consistency in policy execution and agreements. I would suggest if you book a Stay Awhile property (we booked this home through VRBO) that you ensure you document and share with Stay Awhile all conversations, agreements and approvals.

Honestly breathtaking, hands down best value in Malibu. Energy was just right at this place. So close to the restaurants I wanted to eat at including Nobu! The home was spotless with beautiful modern furniture that wasn’t worn. I wish I could give the place 10 stars! Will definitely be back soon! Thanks for the incredible stay

Great

We really enjoyed the house. A little odd at first that you're on this major highway so close to garage, but the other side of the house is the ocean and calmness. We saw multiple dolphins and seals, and lived up the direct ocean access. House was very well maintained, lots of bells and whistles, great ocean relaxation, can walk to Duke's, Whole Foods only 2ish miles away, etc. Perfect family getaway for a few days. Again good place to just hang and enjoy the house and ocean, or head to the great restaurants/bars in Malibu.

Honestly the best house rental I have ever made. Great location and wonderful property management team! Can’t wait for our next stay!!

This home and the check-in team exceeded our expectations! Perfectly clean and comfortable home, appleTv's in all rooms, gorgeous view/location. Fireplace, blankets, everything you need to have a cozy fall by the ocean. Very comfortable beds throughout. Washer/dryer in the garage and even better, a mid-sized SUV can fit inside. We had a wonderful time and it was hard to leave. I bet we'll be back....

We loved our time at the La Costa Beach house and would highly recommend it to anyone:)

As good as they say it is.
