What makes this a highly sought-after vacation rental? Location, location, location! Our beachfront units have unobstructed panoramic ocean views of Catalina Island and The Queens Necklace; coastline views of the Santa Monica Bay to the north and down to Palos Verdes look like a “necklace of lights” in the evening.

We are also close to three contiguous outdoor shopping marts with Whole Foods, Starbucks, world class retail shopping, additional restaurants, yoga, fitness and meditation studios. Nearby there are hiking and biking trails, surf lessons and paddle board rentals.

This 1-bedroom oceanfront unit, decorated shabby beach chic, sleeps 4 and features expansive ocean views from the living room and kitchen. A large private deck sits above the sand so you can sip coffee at sunrise or cocktails at sunset. The beach is steps away from the door of your vacation rental, for hours of play and sun. There are hardwood floors throughout. The kitchen is fully equipped and accented with stainless steel appliances and granite counters.

The rental has 1 bedroom with a queen size bed and HD flat screen TV, the living room has a large sleeper sofa, HD flat screen TV and stereo with ipod connection.

The setting was picture perfect. I met a gentleman in Hawaii in the month of October and we agreed to meet halfway him coming in from Arizona and me coming in from Seattle Washington.We could walk to the Malibu pier. We ate there on two different occasions same restaurant. Then we ate at the beautiful I believe it's called the carbon restaurant in The Lovely Hotel right next to the cottage we were at. Drove to Santa Barbara for the day, and my favorite riding the ferris wheel on the Santa Monica pier. We even drove over the pier to the parking lot. Spectacular place to get away. Host and Hostess and Angel were so communicative. Don't let this little spot of paradise steer you in any other direction but here. Thank you so much for a lovely, lovely time

I stayed here with my family for our annual girls trip and it was wonderful! The gentleman that welcomed us was super nice, and the location and view - beautiful! Everything was fresh and clean. The property gate made us feel very safe, and I loved that there was a garage for our rental. I wish we could have stayed longer. Would definitely return!

Perfect for a relaxing getaway

Angel met us when we arrived and showed us our unit as well as the beach access points. My boyfriend and I stayed 3 nights and had an amazing time! We walked to restaurants, hung out on the beach, and spent most of the time on the balcony watching the waves and just enjoying the peace. We highly recommend the sandpiper unit!

Great location on the beach

The property is on the older side, but doesn’t take away from the place and location. Would definitely stay here again. Walked the beach every day of my stay. Walked both ends but prefer the beach on the other side of the pier. Walk past the public beach and lagoon, wide beautiful beach, no rocks. Here in May, so beaches really empty, a plus. The place is fully stocked, lots of towels! Beach towels and chairs available another plus. Angel greeted us and explained everything and showed us around. He was so helpful and kind. Felt good having him around in case there were questions or problems. PHC was still closed, left on May 21st. All in all, loved the place and will definitely be back.

Disappointed with the property, location, weather, and lack of communication.

The place looks nice in the pictures, but the reality was completely different.Ants were everywhere- i have a video that i can share , the pull-out couch was extremely uncomfortable, impossible to sleep on it and water was splashing directly onto the balcony.On our last night, there were road closures and an expected mudslide. When we called the emergency line, they advised us to leave the area immediately if we had a flight to catch at LAX the next day. We had to gather our belongings quickly and evacuate. I reached out to the owner for guidance but never received a response.If you're dreaming of a stay in Malibu, you may want to think twice before booking this place.

Wonderful Vacation in Malibu

These properties on Carbon Beach are truly secret gems. Malibu really is one of favorite places and to be able to stay in a place and literally wake up on the beach hearing the waves all day and night is priceless. The staff is responsive and the units are very cute and clean and I cannot stress enough how wonderful the location is. You have the cross creek shops less than a mile away , the pier, Nobu,etc. You’re also far enough east to venture into Santa Monica pretty easily if you want to. I have stayed in several of these units , and plan on continuing to return. We spent my birthday and Thanksgiving there this time and it was magical.

Upstairs Neighbors

The property was very nice, great location, clean, and felt safe. However, the neighbors upstairs either had a very large dog running and jumping around or an adult was moving and stomping/running around all hours of the night making sleep difficult. (I know this is not the fault of the VRBO). But for the price I/we were hoping for a little bit more "quiet" at night.

Beautiful view!

Absolutely gorgeous location with an amazing view right on the beach. Morning sunrise was stunning. The property was all we needed and just sitting on the porch with the sound of the waves was so relaxing. The pier was a great place to eat and just down the road were other great places. It was a bit hard to find at night but the traffic was usually light.
