Photos and Description of the Malibu vacation house rental
6 bedroom, 3 baths, sleeps 8

Kayaks and Paddle boards provided.

In addition to an exquisite private beach, this charming 3000 square ft. Neo-Victorian beach house features over 3000 sq. ft. of decks, all with breathtaking white-water views. After a day of playing in the surf you can warm up in our private jacuzzi while you watch the surf, then quickly grab your board and run back into the water when you see the next big set coming in. This deck also has a fireplace for romantic evening ambiance or for making s'mores with the kids! Although the house and decks are not directly on the beach, thereby not technically 'ocean front,' we are just yards from our private beach, and have the added advantage of all that additional private deck space as well as white water view and a private beach just steps away (45 seconds to the sand!) We think it is BETTER than ocean front!

The entire front of the house is glass, providing a breathtaking white water ocean view from anywhere in the living room, kitchen, dining room, and master bedroom. The 24’x20’ living room features 21’ high open beam ceilings with a 24' long skylight. (I can't imagine a house with more natural light than this!) Two huge French doors open onto a large deck which has a table that seats 6 people and an 18’x10’ remote control operated retractable awning. The living room also has a 52” TV, a 10’ window-seat, and a uniquely charming fireplace.

You’ll love having breakfast on the beautiful granite breakfast counter in our newly remodeled open-style kitchen, and dining at our large dining room table which seats 8, all while watching the surf hit the sand and the local surfers putting on a great show!

The 20x16 master bedroom has a king bed, a 10’ window seat with an ocean view, and an all glass front with double French doors that open onto a large private deck with a sofa, a table that seats 4, an 18’x10’ remote control operated retractable awning, and a stunning white water view! On this level there are two more bedrooms, one with a small kitchenette and its own washer/dryer, and one smaller bedroom with a high open beam ceiling. Both have ocean views. On the ground floor is a 16x20 mini-apartment/bedroom with a kitchenette with dining room table and sofa, washer/dryer, bathroom with shower, and private entrance plus entrance from inside. On this level there is also a small bedroom with private entrance plus entrance from inside. Both have ocean views. And on the very top of house is yet another bedroom with a deck with the best view in the cove! This 20x16 room has double french doors on two sides and an awesome white water view! It has a private entrance and a 25x12' deck, and although a little remote from the rest of the house and comparatively 'rustic,' young adults love it!

Offering easy opportunity for everything from kayaking, surfing, sailing, fishing, diving, swimming, beach walking, and just relaxing, this beach is both exciting and serene. If you enjoy exploring nature, our tide-pools are well known as the best in Malibu, and provide a safe place for little ones to enjoy the water in a sheltered area. All surrounding beaches are private, providing additional security. We know you'll love this unique little spot and want to come back; in fact you won’t want to leave! (We know; we live here!)

Thanks for your interest

About Diana

I'm an old Malibu surfer boy who has had the good fortune of growing up right here on our private beach in this spectacular and unique cove. My wife and I have decided to share our little piece of paradise with you for the summer. We stay in my father's beach house, just next door, over the summer when we rent our house. This is a good thing, as I am an excellent 'concierge,' and if you need me I can help with local information or even free kayaking and surf lessons. Take advantage of it if you wish, if not, we're low profile. Looking forward to meeting and serving you. Have a great vacation!

Diana purchased this house in 1980

The Best Vacation My Family Has Ever Had

5 of 5
Submitted: April 17, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
We want to thank Diana and Alan for giving us the gift of the best family vacation we have ever had. We went for a week with 7 people (2 grandparents, my husband, and 3 children between the ages of 7-13). My husband and I really wanted a relaxing break. We thought that was what our children would be getting too (and it was), but now all they can talk about is how they got to boogie board (with sweet seals popping their heads up 40 yards away), jump the waves, learn to surf, and kayak here. Diana and Alan actually provided all of the equipment including wetsuits for all ages, boogie boards, kayaks, surfboards, sand toys (right at the beach), and beach chairs!! The house, view, incredibly hospitality absolutely exceeded all of our expectations. My children and husband have to follow a very strict gluten-free diet and cook all of our own meals, and this was an ideal vacation spot for that. It was close to several grocery stores including Ralph's and PC Greens, which made sticking to our diet easy, and the kitchen had everything you could possibly want, including a really neat induction cooktop. The views, privacy, sound of waves gently crashing from every room, ambiance, decorations, privacy, character, and amenities of Alan and Diana's home are just unbelievable. Oh, and I have to mention that the beds and sheets are sooooooooo amazing. You will have the most amazing sleep there! We have an Ethan Allen mattress at home, and the master bedroom bed was even more comfortable than ours. Everyone in our party commented on how comfortable our beds were and we all loved our luxurious sheets. There are so many decks and places for privacy and fun in this house, it's hard to describe. Time will fly by when you're there. Honestly, all of us came back and said that was the best family vacation we had ever been on. My two younger daughter's were in tears on our last day - they said they wished we could stay there forever.

I hope Diana and Alan will let us come back again!! Thank you so much for lending us your little piece of heaven!

Warmly, The Bradleys

We stayed here with my family of 5 (kids ages range from 3-18), my sister's family of 4 (kids are teenagers) and my parents (in their 60's). This house accomodated everyone with a room to spare! The owners were gracious and close by if needed. The walk to the beach is just down a few stairs, and what an amazing beach it is! We couldn't have asked for more, and would gladly stay here again!!

We had three couples and a few teenage kids with us, and everyone had a great time. Views are incredible from all levels and you are just steps from the beach with kayaks and various water toys. Centrally located in Malibu, it is just minutes from Pepperdine, shopping and restaurants. Alan and Diana are wonderful people and very helpful. We unequivocally recommend this property.

Great housing for wedding guests.

Submitted: October 15, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
My family and extended family stayed at the Armstrong home for five days and were there for my daughter's wedding that weekend.  There were nine of us in the home, and ten one night.  We never bumped shoulders.  It was very comfortable, spacious, and lots of fun.  We all had a wonderful time and the landlords were so gracious, fabulous and easy.  We loved staying at their beautiful home.  It was very beautiful.  We were able to use all their "toys" to play in the ocean with (kayaks, longboard, etc.)  It made it extra special for all of us to enjoy the ocean and have a lot of fun, along with the nice hot tub.  We would definitely stay there again.  The house was very spacious.  Several decks to enjoy with comfy seating.  It couldn't be better.  I would recommend this home to anyone.

All we can say is thank you to Alan and Diana for letting us rent this beautiful home. The location was fantastic and was very private. Alan was kind enough to pick up milk and cereal knowing we were coming in late from the east coast. Any questions we had both were very accommodating. If you have a chance to spend a week in this great area it is well worth it. Alan and Diana thanks again for all you did and making us feel so welcome.
