Idyllic, Romantic Beachfront Apartment in Malibu

Fall asleep to the sound of ocean waves in this charming beachfront apartment. The light, airy home features open-plan living and a wall of windows to maximize the amazing views. Enjoy drinks on the deck and a sunset over the water—it's pure bliss. This beachfront apartment is right above the sand and surf. At night the sounds of the sea will lull you to sleep. During the day, you can watch the sea lions sunning on the rocks and dolphins and whales swimming by or go for a walk along the water's edge and dive in yourself. This is an amazing place to have a glass of wine and watch the sunset and relax! In the evening, the lights of the "Queen's Necklace" glimmer in the distance and the moonlight shines on the water. The living room is cozy with two loveseats to snuggle in and watch a movie on the 50" flat screen TV. Three large sliding glass doors open up if you want to let the ocean breezes blow through. The kitchen is small but fully equipped with an apartment size stove and oven, a microwave, a Keurig coffee maker and a French press, tea kettle, toaster and all the dishes and pots and pans you need. A round table with linens provides a beautiful spot for morning coffee. The bedroom has a queen bed with a new organic mattress and designer sheets, pillows and duvet. There is a large closet with room to store your clothes. Books line the bookshelves if you'd like something to read. Mostly, this is just a quiet, beautiful space to put your feet up and really relax while watching the endless panorama of the natural world outside. And....if you want to feel like a movie star, the apartment was recently used as a glamorous setting in an independent film due out soon!!! Two-person kayak (life jackets available) Boogie Boards and a surfboard Television with premium channels (HBO, Showtime, etc.) Wi-Fi Shared entry gate with one other unit. My husband and I live in a small cottage above the apartment but the only shared space is the entry door. We rarely even see our guests. However, I am always available to answer questions or concerns but almost no one has them! Situated directly above the sand and surf, the home is in a residential area along the Malibu coast, away from the tourist areas. Take in the stars at night while strolling along the beach, or eat at one of the nearby restaurants right on the water. There is bus service available just a minute from the apartment that will take you into Santa Monica or the center of Malibu, or farther north to some of Malibu's more remote beaches. Uber is readily available. At high tide, the ocean may come right up to the seawall limiting beach availability. This all depends on the moon, the tides and the amount of sand that we have. This can really vary from day to day and depending on the season. This winter, rough seas washed away our private stairs to the beach, so guests need to use the public access stairs just a few houses away and a very short walk.

Redwood House, Two Bedroom Topanga Home Under the Oaks

Lie in a hammock listening to birdsong and a fountain. Sleep beneath dream catchers and fairy lights. Sculptural lighting and lovingly curated art pepper airy, plant-filled rooms. Beyond expansive windows, alfresco dining and canyon views beckon. A magical escape from the city less than 5 minutes to restaurants & 15 minutes to the beach. While we understand this is a very picturesque location, any filming, photography, or non-standard use of the space is not included in a regular reservation and must be approved & quoted in advance. 3 cabins on the property, each with its own private space. This unique home offers comfort, cleanliness and a real sense of home, complete with modern furnishings. The fully equipped kitchen is essential in Topanga. The outdoor dining area makes for a romantic evening. Enjoy soaking in the tub, surrounded by foliage, at the end of the day. Catch the sunset dipping over the mountains from a short hike up the back hill. Please note: we are off Topanga Canyon Blvd so you will hear some typical street noise from passing cars during the day, though at night it is rather quiet. Family bookings: we have listed under the booking rules that we do not accept babies/children since we have some decor which is not well-suited for kids as well as a high-end white couch that could be stained. If you would still like to book, we are happy to welcome you, but please note that you will be fully responsible for any damaged/broken items or stained furniture, which may be quite pricey (and could exceed the deposit). Please note there are three separate buildings on this property that share a parking area (each with 2 reserved spots each). Each has its own private outdoor area--we welcome you to hike up the hill at the back of the property to access the hiking trails, but please respect the privacy of each unit's private outdoor space (which is clearly separated). There is a personal washer-dryer, which makes all the difference for longer stays. The State Park access is right out the door up the hill, offering ideal access into endless trails, stunning views and a good chance of spotting California wildlife. The property is right on Topanga Canyon Blvd, so it's easy to hop on the main drag, grab a coffee en route to the beach at Topanga Living Cafe, breakfast at Topanga Table, or enjoy a romantic dinner at the magical Inn of the Seventh Ray. Directly across the street is Topanga Creek Outpost, where you can rent bikes to go on an adventure. We are 10 minutes from the beach/PCH, 10 minutes from Woodland Hills/101 Fwy, 20 minutes from Santa Monica/Venice, 15 minutes to Malibu and 25 minutes from Studio City. A car is recommended for getting around in the Topanga area. There are two other rental houses on the property but all are privately situated. This house has its yard and washer/dryer as well as a separate parking area. We respect your space, however we are of course available to answer any questions or provide recommendations. A small town tucked in nature within bustling LA, Topanga is an inspiring, creative haven. Discover endless trails nearby, stunning views, and California wildlife-spotting opportunities. Master bedroom with luxurious king bed, giant dream catcher, and plenty of natural light. 2nd bedroom with queen bed and sliding glass doors to the outside. Master bathroom with lush soaking tub, 2nd bathroom with marble-tiled shower and washer/dryer. Three cabins on the property, each with a unique offering. A car is recommended for getting around Topagna and to outlying areas. Uber and Lyft do come up this way, but can sometimes take a little longer to arrive than in the city.

Electric scooter and bike apps (Bird, Lyft, Jump, etc) are a great way to get around town on electric scooters! There are several bicycle rental locations within walking distance to the house as well.

Your guide to Malibu

All About Malibu

Malibu might be California's only seaside town whose residents are as famous as its beaches. This photogenic slice of sand and surf fits firmly into the Los Angeles ethos: It’s beautiful, breezy, and irresistible. Here, celebrity homes and beachfront retreats have overlooked one of Southern California's most pristine coastlines since the 1930s. As Malibu has grown in status and fame, it has added flashy see-and-be-seen restaurants but somehow still retains the quaint charm of a small town. Its 20 square miles contain more than three dozen beaches, and choosing the right one is important. If waves and tan lines aren’t your thing, however, Malibu is hemmed in by the Santa Monica Mountains, which beckon trail runners, hikers, and wild animals.

The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Malibu

Malibu's weather is flat-out gorgeous. Thanks to its Mediterranean climate, almost any time of year is a good time to visit. If you're looking for the classic golden sun and swimsuit weather, then July through September are the ideal months to visit, with average highs in the mid-70s Fahrenheit but plenty of days rising into the 80s. This is peak season, so be sure to book well in advance. The coldest months are December through February, with temperatures often dipping into the 40s, though you'll still get rogue warm days. Winter is often pleasant enough for you to take advantage of the local bluffs and mountains, but summer and fall are best for water sports.

Top things to do in Malibu

Point Dume Nature Preserve

The long, craggy bluff jutting into the Pacific Ocean known as Point Dume has become a Malibu icon. It's an ideal perch from which to watch the sunset or, from December to April, spot migrating gray whales. The preserve is connected to a state beach that's popular for swimming, scuba diving, and long scenic walks. Point Dume also abuts another not-to-be-missed Malibu attraction: Zuma Beach.

Paradise Cove

One of the most notable beaches in Malibu delivers a one-two punch: prime beach real estate and a cafe with ocean-view seating that is nearly as coveted. People line up early to stake out a table. To the east is a row of Malibu mansions clinging to coastal bluffs, and to the west, a stretch of sandstone cliffs tailor-made for sunset strolls.

Escondido Falls

At 150 feet tall, Escondido Falls is one of the tallest waterfalls in Southern California, and the trail leading up to it offers a refreshing shady break from worshipping the sun. The waterfall’s three tiers cascade down a series of limestone ledges. To reach it, tread the 3.8-mile moderate trail from Winding Way East. The reward will be worth it.
