Cozy spot hanging over the ocean

SBro (Nashville, TN)
Review submitted: April 19, 2013   Date of arrival: April 6, 2013

Fantastic vacation spot! My fiancee' and I needed a relaxing getaway. Falling asleep and waking up to the sound of ocean waves was just what we needed. The house was clean, kitchen and laundry appliances functioned well. The location CANT BE BEAT. Located at the South end of Malibu, there are tons of outdoor activities nearby, and eat-out or grocery store locations are within ten minutes. Also, it's close enough to enjoy anything that LA has to offer. Approximately 45 min from LAX in decent traffic, longer if you're driving at the wrong time. Don, the owner, was highly organized and made detailed yet easy arrangements for the stay. WE WILL DEFINITELY RETURN!
Thanks to Don for an excellent and effortless vacation stay.

Thank you Don for a much needed get away. Your place was perfect for us...the view, the waves, the walks on the beach, the shelling, the dolphins, the sea lions, the fireplace I could go on! We will return. And thanks for fixing the internet for my workaholic husband!

Winter is just as great at Summer in Malibu!

Robert (Los Angeles)
Review submitted: March 18, 2013   Date of arrival: February 1, 2013

I have been browsing various listing here and by far the listing that provided to most in-depth presentation and deal is Walls of Glass. The video tour provides a lot of valuable information that has actually helped in the decision making process and I am very grateful to have booked Walls of Glass! The Owner really goes out of his way to ensure that you time and money is well spent.

Once I arrived and entered Walls of Glass with my private code, I was immediately welcomed. There is a sense of instant hospitality that Don has prepared which you feel very welcomed once entering. This rental literally will be your home! Then, you’ll immediately feel at peace once the Pacific Ocean is your back yard. This is the Perfect getaway. Whether family, friends, romance, or just yourself. Walls of Glass will be your second home.

I book earlier this year in Feb 1 for my birthday for two nights. Turned out to be one of the best birthday’s I’ve ever had. Although in the Winter, I was so fortunate enough to have 2 warm nights in Malibu. The second night, I woke at 4am and spend the rest of the morning on the balcony kicking back on a clear warm night waiting to see the breath taking sunrise! The bedroom, is clean, white and large. With a lot of closet space. No Blu-ray but a DVD player is available for the bedroom TV. I slept with the sliding doors open. You can take a walk down your private beach and enjoy what Malibu can offer. Sunsets are also breath-taking an beautiful and during the Winter months, you’ll see the sun set behind the ocean directly in front of you!

Don’s (the Owner) hospitality has provided everything you need to enjoy your stay. From sandals, boogie boards to a blender, condiments, and a full kitchen with everything you need to make any meal or drink you like. There is a garage also for indoor parking. The television has a DVR so you can record any program and watch later. Don’t forget to bring a speaker system if you plan to listen to your music from your mobile phone yet, with the sound of the ocean, that is music to my ears!

A BBQ is also present with a great dining area on the balcony to share the day while having a bite to eat. I recommend you doing delivery, take-out or carry-out. Once you arrive at Walls of Glass, you’re not going to want to leave!

Exceeded Expectations

R & S (Burlington, ON)
Review submitted: March 16, 2013   Date of arrival: March 8, 2013

Our family of four absolutely enjoyed our stay here. Parking right out front, close to restaurants, grocery stores and Starbucks. The view cannot be put into words - we ate in almost every night - takeout or delivery. The sound of the surf was soothing at night. Very safe and convenient - a good base to explore LA from and relax in the evening. Enjoyed walking the beach, watching the dolphins and sunsets, and hiking in the mountain trails nearby. We look forward to staying again.

My kids (11, 17) and I always consider ourselves "home" when we return to vacation at WALLS OF GLASS. We saw dolphins, whales, pelicans, Henry (the resident seagull), starfish, seals, perfect sunrises and sunsets, surfers, etc. from the deck. Convenient to everything yet we felt in our own little paradise. Thank you Don for all of those small, thoughtful amenities that make our stay that much more comfortable and stress-free!! No need to ever go anywhere else!!

Review submitted: February 17, 2013   Date of arrival: January 24, 2013

From the moment we heard the waves, we knew we had made he right choice. Everything was just as the videio describes. WATCH THE VIDEO B4 YOU GO! It was perfect!. We've rented many times, & this was the only place we were sorry to leave. From the crashing waves to the "Walls of Glass", it was incredible. We saw dolphins daily, a seal a few times & the spout of a whale a couple of times. Fred came by daily with a few friends. If there was one drawback, the highway was very busy. Tho you couldn't hear it from the house. Only the ocean. It was wonderful.

Just spent 10 glorious, relaxing days at WOG. There's something to be said for anticipation and arriving at our vacation destination knowing what to expect.... all the comforts of home --- plus the sound of the surf and unobstructed view of the ocean, walking on the beach, 3 big screen tv's, fresh linens, fully stocked kitchen, cozy fireplace, minutes from many great dining opportunities! Don has created a haven where one can totally relax and enjoy watching the sun rise or set in the California sky. Our deposit refund was processed immediately, also! We can't wait for our next visit and are already counting the days! Thank you, Don!

Amazing ocean front beachhouse !!

Stefanie (Albuquerque, New Mexico)
Review submitted: January 11, 2013   Date of arrival: January 1, 2013

All I have to say is that when my family walked in the front door, we all hollered in delight ! Enough said! The view was more amazing than the pictures can depict, and I couldn't say better things about our experience here !! The house has a very comfortable leather couch and recliner in the living area, and the kitchen has all the basic amenties needed for simple cooking. There was a fresh can of coffee, basic spices and bottled water when we arrived. The beach house has nice heaters that warm the place nicely at night, although the big walls of glass provided wonderful solar heating throughout the day. The place is bright and full of sunshine!
I had the pleasure to meet the owner, Don, and he is obviously very vested and passionate about this rental. He is very driven to make sure we had everything we needed and was eager for feedback and suggestion for improvement. I have rented many vrbo's around the world, and this one I highly recommend as a BIG 5/5 ! Great for couples, small families with kids, and weekend getaways for anyone seeking tranquility and the special treat of a private beach experience. We can't thank you enough Don !!!

We stayed for 5 weeks and had a fantastic time in a beautiful home with a beautiful view. We had everything we could possible need for our visit. Don was extremely responsive, very professional to deal with and pays attention to detail. We highly recommend the Walls of Glass. Whether your stay is for a few days or an extended period of time, you will not be disappointed. We will be back. The description and the photos were an accurate representation of the Walls of Glass.

My sister and I brought my mother here for the vacation she always dreamed of. All our lives she talked about staying in one of the houses on stilts in Malibu so we finally made her dream come true. But little did we know it would be a dream come true for all of us. This home was absolutely breathtaking. We wanted to stay forever. We rarely left the property. Everyday a parade of wildlife came to visit. Dolphins, Minke Whales, Seals, Herons and Of course Fred the Seagul. The view was so fantastic there was no reason to eat out. We cooked every night and enjoyed the best view in Malibu. I highly recommend this property you will absolutely love it. Thanks so much Don we will be back!!!!!!

First of all - Don was very receptive and helpful throughout the whole process. I emailed him re: beach towels and we woke up the next morning and there they were at the front door. The location is perfect. The bed was very comfortable and the apt. was very clean. The kitchen didn't have all that you would need but enough. We went hiking in Topanga and Stand up paddling at Point Dume and it was fabulous. The weather was perfect! I would definitely book again.

Peter (Los Angeles)
Review submitted: September 12, 2012   Date of arrival: September 7, 2012

This was my second stay at "Walls of Glass." The booking process is simple and I appreciate the following: Color coded parking making parking a snap. Door keypads enabling entry with your personal code. Tide clocks so you know when the next low tide will occur. Binoculars so you can view ships, dolphins, pelicans or whatever. T.V.'s munted overhead in the bedrooms for relaxing, nighttime T.V. viewing. Spotlights to illuminate the surf at night. And a hot water shower at the bottom of the landing to the beach so you can get the sand of the bottom of your feet without shivering. This vacation rental is absolute in terms of attention to detail.

-Street noise (especially motorcycles), closeness to street for parking and helicopters continuously flying over were distractions.
-2nd night there at about midnight helicopter swooped down on house next door with spotlights for over 5 minutes then flew away. never heard why.
-high tide didnt provide much beach access except for first day.
-you cant get any closer to the ocean than this location.
-house was clean, open but not as elegant as we anticipated.

We enjoyed a great two week at Walls of Glass in May 2012! Our third visit and everything was just like we remembered and as advertised, thanks to Don. With the super moon that month, there wasn't much walking on the beach, but we love the roaring, pounding surf from the high tides! Enjoyed nightly sunsets and happy hours on the deck, playing my guitar while staring at the Pacific, home cooked meals with friends, and just relaxing. Don has thought of everything a visitor could want or imagine, and even left us some great coffee! We will always recommend "Walls of Glass" to anyone looking to experience the calming sights & sounds of the Pacific ocean. We have already booked our next visit for Christmas 2012.

Thanks again for making us feel at home, Don! Brian & Diane Lancaster CA

Just returned from our third glorious visit to Walls of Glass-- each time we walk through the door it feels like we're coming home -- everything's waiting and ready, and the now familiar adventure can't come along fast enough-- have already booked for 2013! Don, you've thought of everything, vacationers have to bring only themselves, suitcases, and the desire to relax, walk along the beach, watch the surf from the expanded deck, BBQ at sunset (or whenever) or visit the fine restaurants in the Malibu area. You've truly created a awesome "home away from home" for your lucky visitors -- thank you so much!!!

Review submitted: January 9, 2012   Date of arrival: January 2, 2012

My wife and I just got back from our second visit to "Walls of Glass" and had another wonderful time. It is a great setting with amazing views and I'd heartily recommend it to anyone looking for a romantic retreat. The place was clean, well-appointed and very comfortable. Our stay featured long walks on the beach, meals prepared in the well-equiped kitchen, a visit to the farmer's market in nearby Santa Monica, reading books by the fire and on the balcony, looking out over the ocean to see birds, seals, dolphins, and even humpbacked whales, as well as amazing sunsets. We're locals and find this a great way to "get away" without going too far. Don, you have a great place and we hope we'll have the chance to visit again next year.

Our fourth stay and the first in winter. Just terrific! Weather was warm, the ocean beautiful and the apartment spotless as always. We met Don this time as he was installing a new TV and enlarging the deck. He is such a lovely person. We appreciate that he is consistently upgrading the place. The improved deck and new railing look great and we are looking at our calendar to see when we may be able to return. Don is amazingly considerate and conscientious and responsive. He always wants his guests to have the best time possible. We saw so many seals and dolphins (or are they porpoises?) swimming by as we sat and gazed at the ocean. A real treat and another great vacation. Thanks Don!

We enjoyed a great week at Walls of Glass in November! The new furniture was obvious as soon as we walked in. Our second visit and all was just like we remembered and as advertised. The local attractions we enjoyed were all at Walls of Glass: walking on the beach, sunsets on the deck, reading & playing guitar, home cooked dinner with friends. Just felt great to slow down and and relax. Don has thought of everything a visitor could want or imagine (okay, we're fussy & brought our own coffee maker), and other visitors have also left behind items we found useful. I would highly recommend Walls of Glass to anyone looking to experience the calming sights & sounds of the Pacific ocean. We have already booked our next visit for May 2012 - two weeks this time!

Thanks again for making us feel at home, Don!

This beach house has the most beautiful view imaginable!

We had nightly fires in the fireplace (brought our own Duraflame logs), spent some time on the beach & parking space was always available. Even the seagulls are friendly & ate from our hands.

Everything about this rental was easy and painless - from our initial inquiry for information, through the booking process, right to the security deposit refund. The property itself was amazing! Fantastic location, Walls of Glass is exactly as shown in the pictures, very clean (you would never know someone had just moved out earlier in the day) and very comfortable. Particularly appreciated was the can of coffee right beside the maker (we replaced it before we left), the binoculars, the tide clocks , the wifi access and the personalized welcome information. Walls of Glass served as our home base for a week in SoCal - what a pleasure and so convenient to return here every day after sightseeing trips to Santa Monica, Hollywood and Universal Studios. Loved watching the seals every morning while sipping coffee on the balcony. We only managed to catch low tide once during our stay but had the opportunity to explore the tidal pools with starfish and sea anemone. Hopefully we can return some day soon - thank you Don for such a memorable experience!

We are a family of four and spent one week at "wall of glass". It was a really great vacation for us and our two sons. The oceanview is overwhelming, even being in bed you could watch dolphins.Staying there with two teenagers we enjoyed the private beach and the 3 TVs with more than 900 channels and highspeed internet. It's a perfect place to relax, but also for exploring Los Angeles!
The property is well maintained and the owner is very, very helpful in answering questions. At your arrival you find a personal letter with all information you need and a lot of recommendations for activities und restaurants!

Chris F. (Chicago)
Review submitted: September 3, 2011   Date of arrival: May 13, 2011

It took me a bit of time to getting to writing this review, but I knew I must do it because the rental was fantastic. My wife and I plus our 1 year old stayed at the walls of glass in May of 2011. It was very easy to find being right on the PCH. The unit makes a great first impression when you walk in, because the "walls of glass" are right in front of you and all you see and hear is the ocean. The rental was furnished nicely and had plenty of room for our son to crawl around. The view of the ocean is incredible. We only had 1 issue with our stay and honestly for us it was not a big deal. When we got to the unit all of the bedding on all 3 beds was soaking wet. I think that in a rush to make the beds the bedding was put on perhaps just out of the washer or without adequate time to dry. This was easily solved by tossing them in the fantastic full size dryer that was in the garage. Other than that we had no issues. Don was very accommodating. He has really thought of everything. He even rushed over within hours of us being there to bring us a pack and play. We will definitely stay there again!

We make an annual summer trip to Malibu and the beach house is always wonderful. Recent bath renovations were a surprising treat and the new furniture was superbly comfortable. We are going for a fourth stay in just a few months -- a wintertime first. Everything about this beach house suits us and we've threatened to barricade ourselves in and never leave. That, however, might get us barred for life and we just can't risk it. Don is a tremendously responsive owner and we've never lacked for anything. Thanks, Don!

I stood 10 days and had the most amazing time. Don was amazing and was prompt to respond when I had a question. I am a So. Cal local and would recommend this location to anyone. My kids enjoyed it (ages 12 & 14) since we are locals there was not a rush to hustle and bustle to sight see so we enjoyed the full beauty of the beach with minor sight seeing. I have to say the beach was just perfect for swimming and it was very easy for me to watch my kids and not worry about rough waters. The supplying of beach house boogie boards was very appreciated as my kids loved it. I have recommended this location to several co-workers already and will return for another vacation. Everything was stocked in the house from towels to coffee and spices. I could not have asked for a nicer person to rent from. I also invited my family for a BBQ for the day and Don was really nice about letting my family visit with no problems which was nice. ALSO, I received the most amazing courtesy email from Don, I left my contact lenses and glasses and Don sent me an email and offered to mail them to me. What more can you ask for???

Wall of Glass Vacation

We just returned from our stay at "The Wall of Glass" in Malibu and miss it already! We had a wonderful time and could not have asked for better accomodations during our stay. Having a young child we were concerned about having our own kitchen and room for him to play. He loved not only the beach but also the enclosed outdoor hallway that was stocked with lots of beach toys..perfect for a little boy! Hearing the beach at night was so relaxing and we enjoyed meeting Fred and Pink, the resident seagulls that visited us each night for dinner. We also saw dolphins most mornings during our stay which was really cool. The house is close to Santa Monica, lots of shopping, great beaches and freeways. I would recommend this vacation property to everyone!

Walls Of Glass stay, AMAZING!!

Happy Stay-Cationers (Long Beach, CA)
Review submitted: June 9, 2011   Date of arrival: May 27, 2011

My husband and I stayed at the Walls Of Glass property for 7 heavenly days. We chose this property as we were looking to get away and relax, spending some much needed quality time together. The property and location were beyond our expectations, we will definitely be back! The listing description was accurate, the property is definitely "oceanfront". The website pictures were on target, the place was clean and well maintained when we arrived. Don was available to us, when we needed him. I would recommend this property to any of my friends that need complete R&R. Even a great place for a girls get-a-way! To add some ambiance, I would suggest purchasing duraflame logs for the fireplace-it creates a nice cozy atmosphere. We went to several restaurants in the area and would recommend: Thai Cholada, Moonshadows, Paradise Cove (super casual but a must do). There is horseback riding in the Hollywood Hills, very fun! The Getty Villa (with a reservation) is a must. Also, if you are going to have some meals in, do yourself a favor and shop at the Ralph's that is North of the property. This store is the ONLY true full service store in the area, Von's is limited and SUPER overpriced. Ralph's is about 1.5 miles further away, but well worth the drive (we learned this a bit late in our stay) we are so looking forward to returning soon, thanks again for everything Don!!!!!

My husband and I just returned from an amazing week at Walls of Glass. What you see is what you get...from the first time we walked through the door we were awestruck! The view, the accommodations, the location...I could go on and on. Everything was perfect...and the sounds of the waves crashing were so completely relaxing! Most afternoons were spent with all doors and skylights open and relaxing on the deck! We founds ourselves so relaxed the waves would knock us out. Plenty of dolphins and seals playing EVERYDAY. Early morning beach walks are a must, too! The city is not that far away either...we only wished we had another week to see some of the other places Malibu has to offer! Very sad we had to leave and are anticipating a return trip next year...hopefully for more then a week! Thanks Don...the place is great! You keep the place just perfect!

Amazing place to stay and for a wedding!

Review submitted: April 8, 2011   Date of arrival: April 1, 2011

This was my second time staying at "Walls of Glass" in Malibu. What a beautiful place! This time, I got married there. We were married at 2pm (perfect for low tide) on the sand just in front of the house. It was beautiful for pictures. Also, Don has a great rock at the bottom of the steps to get some great pictures on also. It was so easy to get married there (including finding flowers and a minister). Not stressful at all. Don has made some very nice upgrades to the house this year including a great new bathtub and a new BBQ. Thanks for everything Don!

My stay at Walls of Glass

Lisa C. (Corby, Northants, England)
Review submitted: April 8, 2011   Date of arrival: March 27, 2010

WOWZA!!! what an amazing property and location Walls of Glass is!

We stayed here at the end of March 2011 at the end of our Pacific Coast Highway road trip which was also our honeymoon and I would 100% recommend staying at this property to everyone! It is perfect in everyway and also very reasonably priced compared to other rental properties in Malibu, and it is so well equiped. Don has thought of everything!

I loved seeing the dolphins each day as well, and the two very friendly seagulls which were very funny when we left out some bread for them - I must e-mail Don a little video we took of them :o)

I loved waking up each day and hearing the sea crashing onto the shore, it was awesome! Next time I am in the states and visiting California I will definitely be staying here again

Great Owner & Location

Kim (Chicago)
Review submitted: March 29, 2011   Date of arrival: March 19, 2011

We stayed here last week when the area was hit with a major weather event, and quite frankly there is no place we would have rather stayed. Don is very on the ball as a property owner, even being out of town when it hit - he was responsive right away to our inquiries. The location is wonderful, I thought I'd be intimidated by the traffic on PCH and I was not at all. The property was very clean and the photos are spot on. We loved Fred's daily visits as well! We have two children and this was perfect for us, they stayed in the 2nd bedroom with no problems. I would absolutely recommend to anyone there, honestly the property would be good for any type of visitor so long as they have a car. The neighbors were also very nice, especially during the storm. This made us feel even more confident with our choice of rental. We hope to get back out there soon!

February Vacation

We had the best vacation in years and it was because this home was spectacular! It was immaculate and welcoming. The view is priceless! I could not wait to wake up in the morning to watch the sunrise and it was so great to open the door and just look out over the pacific. We counted no less than 8 dolphins a day playing and a seal would poke his head up in the waves as well. Don't hesitate to rent this vacation home, it is as good as it looks. Thanks again for a wonderful vacation.

Don has thought of everything, well stocked kitchen, spices and all. No need to worry if you have left your sun tan lotion, shampoo, shaver at home-its all here. Sleeping at night with the sounds of the waves is a sweet lullaby!! We will definitely be back.

Barry and I enjoyed our second visit (January 9-16, 2011) to the amazing Walls of Glass even MORE than our first in 2010.... don't know how that is possible... we literally counted the days between times... and now are going to be "three-peaters" in 2012 --if we had our way, we'd move in permanently! Weather was perfect but rain wouldn't have been a detraction because WofG truly becomes a "home away from home", cozy, bright and cheery, immaculate, with that unrivaled ocean view with beach access, and everything at our fingertips, dishes, big screen TVs, wi-fi, linens, laundry facilities, BBQ, and resident seagulls! Don, you do an amazing job with WofG, not only managing, always looking for new ideas to please your lucky clientele. It was a pleasure to meet you this time -- and see the force behind the success of this property. Thanks again for the prompt return of the deposit --we are again marking the calendar and send you warmest regards!

Great getaway at "Walls of Glass"

Review submitted: January 24, 2011   Date of arrival: January 16, 2011

I had been looking forward to our first visit to "Walls of Glass" with great expectations. The property easily exceeded our expectations. All the amenities listed (and more), the description, the condition of the property and the AMAZING sunsets were all better than listed! We only went out to eat once during our visit (Baby Blues BBQ in Venice is great) because relaxing and enjoying meals at our "new home" was just the tonic for relaxation we needed. We are already planning our next visit! Thanks for everything, Brian

A Wonderful Getaway

Mike (Pomona, CA)
Review submitted: January 11, 2011   Date of arrival: January 3, 2011

"Wow," was the first word out of my mouth when we walked in to "Walls of Glass." The place was immaculate and the view was amazing. It's not too often that vacation rentals exceed my expectations, but this one certainly did. It's fair to say that the photos and video didn't do it justice. We spent a wonderful week walking on the beach, sipping wine by the fire, reading books, and watching the beautiful sunsets (one of the highlights of our day). Don's recommendations for area restaurants were excellent, but most nights we just stayed in and cooked in the nicely appointed kitchen. We also appreciated the thoughtful touches throughout the house (like the binoculars for viewing seals, dolphins and birds) and enjoyed the big screen TVs, as well. I can whole heartedly recommend it, especially if you're looking for a romantic escape. For comfort, quiet, and a front row seat to a beautiful ocean view, you'd be hard pressed to beat "Walls of Glass." Don, thank you for a wonderful week. We hope we'll have a chance to pay a return visit soon.

We've only been home from "Walls of Glass" for a little over 24 hours and are already planning how soon we can return! We've been vacationing in Malibu for 5+ years and this is, by far, the absolute best rental we have found on VRBO or Craigslist. It's very private and very homey with lots of extras and details. To say the least ... we loved it!
Thanks Don for a wonderful week! We look forward to seeing you again!

We rent at least once a year on homeaway or private rentals and this experience was amazing. We really appreciated all of the details that were covered - from coffee and water to beach towels and chairs. The view, the property, the beach - all amazing. We hope to come back!!!

There was so much ocean action that we never even turned on the TVs. I also loved the tide clock. It made it very easy to decide when to take a walk or swim. Thank for the hospitality.

I stayed at Walls of Glass with my two kids (ages 14 & 8) for one week.The first thing that amazed me was that Walls of Glass looked EXACTLY as depicted in the photos and video (this doesn’t usually happen to us). The stunning view of the Pacific Ocean was incredible! Imagine our surprise when we saw dolphins dancing right outside, in our own “backyard”. The kids really enjoyed getting to know Pink and Fred – the resident seagulls.The kitchen (beautiful marble counters!) and bathrooms were wonderfully clean and well-stocked with all of the things you only wish you could fit into your suitcase. The washer & dryer were SO appreciated!At low tide, the kids and I walked the shoreline to discover starfish, hermit crabs, anemones, seals, pelicans, and even a Hollywood producer!Walls of Glass is situated perfectly in the middle of shopping, restaurants, museums, recreation, sightseeing and beaches. We loved our vacation at Walls of Glass. Call now to book your reservation - we had to wait a year to get in but it was more than we could have imagined. We will be back!

Our stay at the Walls of Glass was a dream come true. We had already spent 6 nights in beautiful Venice, where every day was a whirlwind of activity, so to relax for 5 nights in Malibu was absolutely perfect. Our 2 young children adored the home, especially the tv's (of course) and the deck - they still ask about "Findley" the seagull who visited us daily! The home is immaculate, the kitchen is perfectly set up with all the necessities for the chef in the family, the bed is so comfortable with warm soft blankets and the rolling waves are there to lull you to sleep each night. And the view?! We spent endless hours gazing out at the water, watching the dolphins put on shows at sunset and then after dark we'd curl up on the couch, the fire glowing in the corner and listen to the waves. We're already planning our next trip to Malibu. Special thanks to Don, who was so friendly and willing to help. Exactly the kind of owner you want to rent from, not in your back pocket but easily accessible - Don, next time we'd like you to come up for a drink, I loved hearing about the history of the houses and the precarious stilts that hold them up! Thanks for everything, Tara & Tom Dunphy

We greatly enjoyed staying at your Malibu place and wish that it could have been longer, as there are many things that we didn't get around to doing. The unit is beautiful, and was immaculately clean. Parking was easy and I think that the location between Topanga and Malibu Beach was ideal, as access back to LA was easier than if we had been staying further north. We'll be back!

But after one time down the stairs they came to love the wet sand beach and made friends with all the local doggies too. The well stocked kitchen with cooking utensils made it easy for me to invite friends from the LA area over for a wonderful beach front dinner. I used to live in So.

We had a perfect week celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary at Wall of Glass. It was spectacular and your well done video still could not capture everything. Lance kept saying "this is the perfect place". From the parking, all the amenities including the high def tvs in every room, and the wonderful ocean front view. Each day we saw dolphins, sea lions, lots of pelicans and of course the resident seagulls Fred and Pink right off the deck. By the way, we miss our seagull friends! One week was not enough for us and we wanted to stay another week! The worst part, I could not sleep well last night after returning home as I missed the ocean waves. Walking the beach in the afternoons was great. We definitely will be planning on coming back for another vacation.

Thank you for an outstanding stay at your property walls of glass! We have stayed at several properties along the southern California coast and never seen one better than this. We got to witness California's most severe storm in decades. Although we stayed safe and dry in the home the ocean's surf was AWESOME to see crashing directly off of your huge back deck. I have not slept so well in years, listening to the roar of the sea. We saw dolphins everyday. The house was spotless and in excellent codition through out. Anyone looking for an exceptional oceanfront vacation would love this home. We will be back.

Hi Don....after we entered our personal code into the front door and walked in, we found the beach house perfect in every way ... you know that old saying, "you only get one chance to make a first impression" -- it was sparkling clean.... ambience was in play, sunlight, ocean, TV's ready to go, everything!

The unobstructed ocean view from the huge living room window with its southern exposure was to-die-for. Another real luxury was direct access to the beach below. Extremely impressive were the high tech electronics -- three large, flat screen TVs with hi-def cable, DVD, VCR players, and wi-fi internet that worked flawlessly. We had no trouble setting up our netbook and were online throughout our stay.

The attention to detail was amazing, luxurious towels, super comfortable bedding, remote control skylights, even gloves for washing dishes -- and resident seagulls, Fred and Pink were totally charming!

The "walls of glass" video turned out to be a very accurate depiction of the actual vacation rental ...it truly is "what you see is what you get". The guest comments were also very helpful. The business aspect from start to finish was a pleasure. Everything was handled efficiently and expeditiously and last, but not least, we were pleased by the prompt return of our security deposit shortly after our arrival back home.

Thank you for a truly memorable experience, Don!

If you like, watching picture perfect big screen television with a wide variety of stations from either of the two bedroom s or the living room, then this is the place for you.

Just a quick note to let you know that my family and I had a brilliant time staying at the "Wall of Glass".

The apartment and its location far exceeded our expectations. Your video (on your web site)was good, but the atmosphere of the unit can only be understood by staying there.

We had been in California for a month -traveling up the coast from LA to San Francisco and across to Yosemite and back to LA. Your place was our last stop before returning home and it was a great way to finish our holiday.

Staying and relaxing at Malibu was the highlight of the trip... while we have great beaches in Queensland - there is nothing quite like your place or Malibu in Australia...

Thanks again - it was great meeting you on the last day.

The video you made was perfect in describing exactly what your property offers. The ocean view when you swing open the front door could be from a postcard. Not only is the location wonderful, but you thought of every detail -- from beach towels to the wireless internet access at the work station off the kitchen. The three large screen televisions were great too, as my children had many different options in which to be entertained. Having your own private beach right under the house made this a perfect getaway.

We had a great time at your place!! Our dog, Rocket
acclimated and soon became a "beach" dog. Our
teenage sons loved the location and the privacy.
The "wet sand" beach is a real plus since it keeps
most people away, but still allows you to hang out,
skim board, etc.
The location is perfect...10 min in either direction
and you're at world class restaurants, beaches
(should you ever want to!), etc. Malibu Country Mart
was a fun place to hang as was dining and shopping
in nearby santa monica.
We plan on coming back.....soon we hope. Thanks

Don, just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed our time in Malibu at your place. It was terrific -- better than advertised! Our cat loved the place too. Hoping to book two weeks next summer.

Renting 'Walls of Glass' made my dream celebration a reality. The place was gorgeous and perfect for my needs. The owner, Don, took great care to help me make my 50th birthday party a memorable and outstanding one. My family and friends are still raving about the wonderful time they had there!

Don,
It was spectacular. I am going to try to get my family there. It was truly a relaxing vacation. The beach time was perfect as no one got burned. Thank you so much.

My stay at Walls of Glass was perfect. I truly felt I was in vacation. No hassle everything very clean. I found that the video was very useful because it truly showed the how how it really was.

A spectacular view, free dolphin shows. The sounds of the Pacific. We loved our stay! You get the Malibu "experience" and it is very convenient to surfing, Pepperdine, Santa Monica, Zuma. We'll be back.

I have to say that I have been around the world and I have experienced numorous places to stay but "Walls of Glass" in Malibu CA, was absolutely incredible!!! The privacey, the veiws of the ocean and waves crashing are absolutely FABULOUS! We experienced total serenity and beauty of one of Malibu's "private beachs" and at a VERY good price! It was worth every penny and more. In fact, the entire experience brought my friend and I ALOT closer, it was EXTREMELY romantic! It was just like having our own little place, not having just another "hotel room."
