Oceanfront on Dry Sandy Carbon Beach - Sandpiper

We are a hidden gem on the one-mile shoreline of Carbon Beach, affectionately described by the locals as “Billionaire’s Beach” … home to many celebrities. What makes this a highly sought-after vacation rental? Location, location, location! Our beachfront units have unobstructed panoramic ocean views of Catalina Island and The Queens Necklace; coastline views of the Santa Monica Bay to the north and down to Palos Verdes look like a “necklace of lights” in the evening. We are just yards from the famous Surfrider Beach, Malibu Pier, the Adamson House and a range of restaurants, modestly priced to exclusive, including Nobu. We are also close to three contiguous outdoor shopping marts with Whole Foods, Starbucks, world class retail shopping, additional restaurants, yoga, fitness and meditation studios. Nearby there are hiking and biking trails, surf lessons and paddle board rentals.

This 1-bedroom oceanfront unit, decorated shabby beach chic, sleeps 4 and features expansive ocean views from the living room and kitchen. A large private deck sits above the sand so you can sip coffee at sunrise or cocktails at sunset. The beach is steps away from the door of your vacation rental, for hours of play and sun. There are hardwood floors throughout. The kitchen is fully equipped and accented with stainless steel appliances and granite counters.

The rental has 1 bedroom with a queen size bed and HD flat screen TV, the living room has a large sleeper sofa, HD flat screen TV and stereo with ipod connection.
Amenities include, WiFi, linens, towels, beach chairs, coffee maker, microwave and gas barbecue. There are laundry facilities on site for your convenience. Included with the rental is a one car garage and parking for an extra car. In addition, the property is gated for extra privacy.

Beautiful view!

Absolutely gorgeous location with an amazing view right on the beach. Morning sunrise was stunning. The property was all we needed and just sitting on the porch with the sound of the waves was so relaxing. The pier was a great place to eat and just down the road were other great places. It was a bit hard to find at night but the traffic was usually light.

Best location!

Coming to Malibu for a few days of rest and relaxation required a house that was close to the beach. This property checked all the boxes. It was perfectly sized for my husband and I, it had everything we needed so we didn't have to pack a lot of extra stuff and the location couldn't have gotten any better! It was easy to find, close to restaurants and attractions, either a short walk or short drive. The owner and caretaker were wonderful, I highly recommend this rental!

Location, location, location

If you’re looking for an oceanfront vacation, this is the place for you. If the ocean was any closer you’d need a bathing suit to eat breakfast. This cozy apartment is ideal for two. It’s an old building but well maintained. It’s located right on the Pacific Coast Highway but road noise was not an issue. The only noise is the sound of the Pacific Ocean.

Wonderful Vacation in Malibu

These properties on Carbon Beach are truly secret gems. Malibu really is one of favorite places and to be able to stay in a place and literally wake up on the beach hearing the waves all day and night is priceless. The staff is responsive and the units are very cute and clean and I cannot stress enough how wonderful the location is. You have the cross creek shops less than a mile away , the pier, Nobu,etc. You’re also far enough east to venture into Santa Monica pretty easily if you want to. I have stayed in several of these units , and plan on continuing to return. We spent my birthday and Thanksgiving there this time and it was magical.

Beautiful week in Malibu

This beach condo is the perfect location and the right size for two people! Located close to the Malibu pier where you can watch surfers catch some waves, dolphins swim on by or find some yummy food at a nearby restaurant. The condo is older and needs updating and repair but the location is everything. Great communication from the seller and Angel is there if you need anything. Thank you for a most enjoyable stay at your beach condo.

This was an amazing place to getaway to for the weekend. It was our 24th Anniversary and she absolutely loved the rental. The waves crashing all day and night is so relaxing. Only one suggestion, upgrade the mattress. The bed was too firm for my liking.

Upstairs Neighbors

The property was very nice, great location, clean, and felt safe. However, the neighbors upstairs either had a very large dog running and jumping around or an adult was moving and stomping/running around all hours of the night making sleep difficult. (I know this is not the fault of the VRBO). But for the price I/we were hoping for a little bit more "quiet" at night.

What a relaxing, stress free weekend we had!! Perfect way to celebrate our 10 year anniversary!! The crashing waves and that ocean breeze melted all my stress away! To be able to just walk out on the balcony at any given moment, with my cup of coffee was amazing! And walk down a few steps to a private, non-crowded beach?! Amazing! Everyone should do this at least once in their lifetime! Property was cozy, comfy, perfect temp!

Decompression

We normally do family spring breaks but our schedules didn’t coincide. I called my sister, we enjoyed the property schedule free and enjoyed the beach. It was difficult parking as the spaces were small and we had an SUV. The tide was really high at times. I would recommend this property and host.
