Top Malibu Hotel Reviews

Malibu Country Inn

8/10 Good

"This was a charming affordable little property near Malibu. We had our own private balcony, and the room offered nice amenities. The fireplace wall could definitely have used a paint job. We went swimming in their heated pool, which was fantastic. We walked up the road .4 miles to a restaurant right on the ocean for dinner. The bed was very comfortable and clean! Overall, a good night stay."

SA Beach by Stay Awhile Villas

10/10 Excellent

"We had an excellent stay at SA Beach #8. The location on Carbon Beach is hard to beat—the ocean views from the suite and private balcony are incredible, and having direct beach access made the entire stay feel special. We stayed for my girlfriend’s birthday, and it was the perfect setting. Waking up to the Pacific, having breakfast overlooking the water, and being able to walk straight down to the beach made for a memorable morning. The suite was clean, comfortable, beautifully designed, and exactly as represented. The Stay Awhile team was also extremely responsive and accommodating, including helping us with early access, a late checkout, and other requests throughout the stay. Great property, great location, and excellent service. We would absolutely stay here again. 5/5."

Malibu Waterfront Gallery + Private Beach Access

10/10 Excellent

"Daniel is an excellent host and communicator. The property was spotless and has a million-dollar review of the ocean. There was an unusual heat wave while we were there, but the AC kept us cool. (Pro tip: the controls are behind the master bedroom door.) While it’s right on the water, accessing the nearest beach does require a two-minute walk and then a ramp and a few steps. The kitchen is well outfitted, but we didn’t cook since we were only there two nights. Beds are very comfortable, and the bath towels are soft. Daniel allowed us to park our rental car in the garage, which was a big plus. We wouldn’t hesitate to return."

Oceanfront Retreat on Sandy Carbon Beach - Dolphin

8/10 Good

"The location is perfect - right on the beach with direct access. Super quick walk to the pier. Beach chairs, towels, and boogie boards all conveniently available for our use. The unit listing states it sleeps 6 comfortably and that is true, however there is only one bathroom and that could be an issue if traveling with 6 in your party. Also, the jacuzzi tub is difficult to get in and out of if you’re short like me! The pots/pans and utensils could definitely use some updating but we made do with what was available. Overall, we had a great stay!"

Mt Malibu Mansion w/ Ocean Views, 2+ Acres, Mini Golf, Hot Tub, Guest House!

10/10 Excellent

"This is an Amazing property and it was as wonderful as the pictures & reviews looked before we arrived. We did some of our board meetings at the house while everyone had great lodgings and everyone loved the house with all the amenities! The Host Crystal-Mae was excellent in communication and very proactive on all request in making the stay even more enjoyable! We would definitely use the property again in the future."
