We were so fortunate to have been able to stay at the Dolphin Suite. My husband and I were looking for somewhere very special to surprise my daughter on her 14th birthday and she had the time of her life, so much so we wanted to extend our stay but there was no availabilty. My three kids did not want to leave to go home, it was a struggle. The location is perfect, we were not in the middle of all of the Spring Break festivities close to Santa Monica and Venice Beach we had a very peaceful setting walking distance from many good restaurants as well. In the late mornings we were able to walk to the Malibu pier along the beach and enjoys views all around us. In the early morning we would wake up to home brewed coffee and dolphins swimming in the ocean as we sat and watched from the deck. I have not reviewed vacation get-a-ways in the past, but I felt I needed to share with everyone how wonderful this place is. The maintenace staff were very friendly, the owner was very accommodating and the neighbors were really welcoming, we felt right at home the first day we arrived. Thank you so much for having us, we will never forget this trip and I promise we will be back.

This was the second time we stayed at this property, and we were just as satisfied with our stay as the first time. This is a wonderful location with a spectacular view. The rental property was very clean and well-maintained. There were plenty of linens, and the kitchen is well stocked for those who would like to cook. We chose to visit nearby restaurants and enjoyed NOBU, Moonshadow, Cafe Habana, Marmalade Cafe, and Tony Taverna--great Greek food! All of these restaurants were very close to the condo. We did enjoy breakfasts and coffee on the deck in the mornings. The owner and her staff are very helpful and attentive. It was nice to have a garage space for our rental car. I cannot forget to mention how relaxing it is to fall asleep to the sound of the waves crashing right outside your window. We look forward to our next visit.

Toronto, Canada -
My step mother and I made castle’s, it was very, very fun! My brother and I went in the waves. It was so much fun! My family and I saw dolphins and seals! They were so cute. We went to the Pier, we got snowcones, they were very tasty!! The sand was soft, the water was nice, not cold. Thank you for your nice, cozy, comfortable house. We all had so much fun in this wonderful house. Once again, thank you so much.
P.S. We also rode the boogie board, so much fun!
