This cute little apartment has everything you need to enjoy time at the beach, from a corkscrew to a coffee pot. The ocean views are amazing! The deck has many chairs and tables available for hanging out when not at the beach. You are close enough to walk to the pier and several restaurants. The beach here is pretty small and only at low tide. This is a great little apartment and I would stay here again.

Loved the property and location. Clear, detailed instructions on how to access the property. Perfect starting place to explore Malibu and the surrounding areas and PCH day trips. Room and whole property had a great beach apartment feel. Super clean room and great facilities provided by the host.

Apt C in much better condition than Apt B The use of bleach to clean is overwhelming and not safe and I would recommend using less bleach and more vinegar. The windows need fixing and the a/c didn't work. Lastly, I had to reach out to the team to get my instructions on getting into the apt the next day.

Thank you for enjoying our place. You stayed during a storm and of course since the property is located directly on the beach with the Ocean coming below the house during high tide, you are going to see sands on the grounds. While this is routinely cleaned, there is still the possibility to see more of it during a storm.

OLD. WORN. OUTDATED. Impossibly LOUD.
DO NOT expect to sleep a wink at this apartment. The waves crashing UNDERNEATH the property are hard and LOUD. They never let up. Some of them actually cause the place to SHAKE. Not relaxing, not fun, you'll leave sleep deprived. The apartment is OLD. WORN. OUTDATED. Seriously in need of maintenance and attention. Rust everywhere outside. One slider door won't open. Furnishings and kitchen supplies literally look like leftovers from a garage sale. Manager is not helpful, accommodating or even kind. In fact, I would describe him as rude. Spend your money elsewhere.

We are sorry you were hoping to check in at 10am in the morning, but we offer early check in only if the apartment is of course available, and in your case, we were not able to offer an apartment before the official 3pm time. We understand you were expecting to check in earlier and we are sorry it was not possible.

Beautiful studio, very clean and welcoming decor. I honestly want to know what scent they used for the room spray! The deck has an amazing view. At high tide the waves crash just before the deck and wash under the house. At low tide, the and in the beach is ideal for walking. You'll find extra pillows and blankets in the closet. Bring your firestick or log in to the smart TV if you are foolish enough to stay inside for a moment. The shower has good pressure and the water heats quickly. I didn't test the bath, but it appeared to have spa jets. My only note is to use caution descending to the beach. The bottom paver step is offset and a bit slippery due to the high water. There are no lights on the beach access side of the house. This might not be ideal for those with physical limitations. Of course, this is to be expected at the location... but if you are looking for a paved or all- ability accessible beach, this isn't ideal. Coded entry at parking, to the building, the unit, and for beach access. Very safe! This was, hands down, the nicest beach I've visited, and a thoroughly enjoyable stay. Thank you!

The information to check in was perfect and the location was fantastic. Unfortunately, there are many stains on the couch cushions making us not want to sit on it. (See photos) In addition, the handle to the shower faucet kept popping off, making it difficult to operate a shower. (See photo)

This place is amazing!! Crashing waves right outside your spot. You have a 360 front live view. The unit has cute decor and your views are from anywhere in the unit. Leave the window open to hear the waves crashing as you sleep. I thought it was a great price point. It’s so unique. You’ll be glad you stayed there.

With private beach access I expected an actual beach front, but there were nothing but boulders. Also the security door didn’t have a keypad even though they disclosed a code for it. The overall state of the property looked far off from the pictures posted. I’ll never stay here again.

We stayed at The Malibu Beach Paradise Apartments in mid-August 2022 for 3 days, and unfortunately it was a bit of a disappointment. For starters, the gate at the property's entrance was broken and unsecured so that anyone off the street could enter onto the property (and they did just that, along with their dogs that pooped everywhere). The outside parking lot / courtyard area was dirty and unkempt; there were lots of overgrown trees blocking visibility and making it difficult to park; and, the garbage bins were full to capacity. The property's interior was clean but had outdated decor and furnishings. The bathroom had no hooks to hang up the towels or clothing which was very inconvenient. On the bright side, we arrived early at the property and were able to meet the staff who were very nice, charming, and helpful. We just wish the rest of the stay provided a lasting positive impact, but it did not. Rating: 2.5 out of 5 stars.

The view alone is worth the price. The instructions sent prior to our arrival were clear and simple. The apartment itself is simple, which is not a bad thing. Lovely open floor plan let’s you enjoy the view even from bed. Speaking of the bed, super comfortable and huge. A couple small issues: the internet went out during our stay. I contacted one of the two hosts and never received a response. I had to contact the second host a few hours later before it was resolved. There is a jacuzzi tub but it doesn’t work. Very small issues overall. Had a amazing time and would highly recommend to anyone

I really loved this place. Booked room B. It was clean, spacious, and exactly what I was hoping it would be! If you’re looking for the Hilton this is not it. But if you’re looking for a cozy beach front property within walking distance of everything you could possibly need then this is for you. I’ve always stayed in beachside places when vacationing and this was by far the biggest apartment I’ve stayed in! This is definitely a more homey place, which on my opinion just added to the charm. Room C is the ocean view one, so I’ll try to get that one next time I stay, but B was just fine. While you are up against the water there’s no actual beach in front of the property. Maybe for a small part of the day during low tide but it’s mostly rocks, but still beautiful! There’s a beach like 3 minutes away on foot. The bed was huge and comfy, and the room had everything you could need. Loved the heater on the bathroom after my shower! You hear the sound of the waves no matter where you are on the property and it was amazing! At night when the ocean was really choppy the waves were massive and we loved watching them from the deck! Parking spaces are tight but that’s to be expected. Loved not having to park on the street I will say that! I wouldn’t call this place run down in the very least, it’s very typical of a beach side place; again it’s not the Hilton but in comparison to a lot of other places I’ve stayed all along the coast this one is my favorite. It was safe, comfortable, & coZy
