Beautiful mountain top property with Amazing Views!
Three generations of our family stayed in this beautiful home while we celebrated a family wedding nearby. The winding drive up the mountain is not for the faint of heart, but worth it to see the amazing view of the bay!The home was clean, well-stocked, comfortable, and the onsite property manager very friendly and attentive.
Family gathering for Christmas week. Mixed feelings.
Pros: The property, the views overlooking Malibu and the solitude were fantastic. Villa was well appointed for our family of 8 adults and 1 small child. The owner was kind to leave holiday decorations up for our stay, which filled the home with Christmas spirit. The property manager on site was courteous, helpful and conscientious of our private family time.Cons: The property is susceptible to rodents entering the home. The owner has taken measures against intrusion, but nothing is perfect. We unfortunately experienced two large rodents being trapped in the kitchen over three nights. The ownerâs response to this was that we had to be responsible and that we must have left doors open for the rodents to get in. This was definitely not the case. We clearly disagreed on this.Be aware that the drive to the villa is on canyon ridge roads (Latino Canyon Road). There are a lot of switchbacks and steep drop offs. Care is to be taken as these roads are notorious for being treacherous. Day driving is recommended as well as minimizing trips up-down the canyon roads. We should have brought all of our supplies in with us to minimize our trips.If you are considering renting the villaâŠ.my comments are to inform you. They are not intended to degrade the property or the owner.
We had 10 adults staying on the property and we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Blend the privacy and tranquility of the property with the incredible views of Malibu, the ocean, and even Catalina and itâs impossible not to feel at peace here. Barry was very kind and very helpful throughout our stay. Would definitely stay here again!
a beautiful residence that had panoramic views but unfortunately this time of year there was a lot of cloud cover and fog. location was nearby a wedding venue we attended so location was ideal for our large group.
Pack up the family and shop for groceries to use in a well
Equipped kitchen or BBQ while soaking in a 180 degree of the Pacific Ocean. The only sounds up there are you, your family, friends and nature.
Unbelievable 180degree ocean views in a large estate home. Top line kitchen with every imaginable cooking utility. Large great room with huge siting area with picture windows framing view. Clean hot tub also overlooking the view. Only downside is the drive up the mountain but doable
The property was beautiful, the views amazing. The inside bathrooms were a little dated. Iâm 62 yrs and was challenging to get over the jacuzzi tub to get in the shower. Overall it was a great stay. Barry was very receptive to our needs.
This place was absolutely AMAZING!! The views!!!! Canât wait to get back!! Barry was the BEST!! So helpful and just a great guy! Helped us with anything we neededâŠhighly recommend this place to everyone!!
The property is very comfortable. Few things that could be upgraded in the kitchen (larger coffeepot, large spoons for cooking) but overall almost everything you need. What sets this property apart are the views which are jaw dropping! Lots of windows, plenty of outdoor seating and the hot tub is wonderful. Getting up to the property is quite challenging--should be done during the day if possible. Also it would work to bring as much up as you can since getting back down to a grocery store isn't easy. Be prepared for Barry the property manager to be around a great deal but he is very helpful and wants to make your stay enjoyable. The hiking trails were a real plus. We would stay in this beautiful place again.
The views are incredible and the house is very spacious! The property is located on top of a hill and requires driving through canyon roads to get there so keep this in mind if your party has anyone with sensitive stomachs/ car sickness (I did not have any issues personally). We had some issues getting food delivered and could not get (even prescheduled) Ubers/Lyfts from the place so ended up booking a party bus. Barry let us know he had some Uber contacts so ask him for help if you have trouble/ consider alternative plans to make the stay easier!
Overall it was an amazing place and I would absolutely recommend it anyone!
Amazing property; attentive on-site management. We celebrated a big birthday and the accommodations were perfect; everything I saw online was what we experienced. Pricey w/ all of the VRBO add-ons, but was worth it for this special occasion.
If you are looking for a wonderfully peaceful and luxurious respite that comes with outstanding views, this is the place! Barry, the property mgr, pays attention to every detail and will make your stay very comfortable. The house itself and the outside property are stunning and expansive with plenty of room to spread out and enjoy all the extras this home has to offer. We've travelled the world and this place is clearly a gem at the top.
It was a beautiful location. Watching the sunsets and the clouds roll in and out was great. We really enjoyed the stay. There are five real bedrooms and the kitchen is great and has all the cookware you could want for an extended stay. We would definitely do it again.
The house was everything we'd hoped for. It was beautiful, spacious, and the views were spectacular. The property manager was very friendly, very helpful, and really looked after us. We recommend this property to anyone, especially those with a large party. We had 9 total residents, but throw in makeup professionals, hair stylists, photographers, and other family members visiting, and the number grew to almost 20. The property can handle much more as it is itself an event venue, but we used it as a vacation home. It is also a vineyard so we had to try the wine which resulted in us purchasing 6 bottles. We're not used to driving on canyon roads, so we had to adapt, but all in all, we'll look for this place when we visit Malibu again.
We had a wonderful experience at this amazing property. It is true the road there is difficult, however, the home is lovely and the landscape is physically breathtaking. Well worth the drive! The property manager Barry is on-site to help with anything you need. He is terrific and made the experience easy and smooth. Thank you for a wonderful few days that will live forever in our memories.
We loved our stay at Malibu Solstice. It is a truly spectacular place. We had a small wedding and it was lovely. Haley, the property manager, was wonderful. She was extremely responsive and helpful in answering questions in advance of our stay. Barry, on site, was delightful and extremely helpful. Our only concern was the drive, but if you take it slowly it is manageable. We highly recommend this place.
Relatively secluded with stunning views and plenty of room for our group of 11. Excellent communication with owner prior to arrival. Overall, a fabulous experience.
We stayed at the house for my birthday weekend and it was honestly AMAZING! They had everything from multiple fire places, a hot tub and my favorite thing ever...an ICE MAKER LOL. Barry was cool. I did feel like he was on top of us a little. My guests felt like they were being watched and were a little skeptical of him but I assured them not to worry that he was cool! The drive up is INSANE! That was also apart of the entire experience!!! Once I got up to the house I didnât leave until check out LOL. I had a small birthday gathering with a DJ and food and drinks. I like how I was able to decorate and re arrange the house a bit. One item did break, my friend back into a candle light glass and it broke but thank God for the 99 dollar insurance they had on the house, the damage was covered! GREAT PLUS! THE VIEWS ARE IMMACULATE!!!!!â Definitely an experience!!! I would recommend everyone to come here at least once in their life with friends and family! Surely, you wonât regret it!!!
This was our second stay at this incredible place and we decided to make it a yearly destination! The house and grounds are so gorgeous, the views are unrealânever missed a sunset. Barry the groundskeeper was so helpful and Haley made the entire booking experience a pleasure. Canât say enough wonderful things about this place and canât wait to be back!
