Top Malibu Hotel Reviews

Malibu Country Inn

8/10 Good

"Great location for a quick stop in Malibu"

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."

Oceanfront Retreat on Sandy Carbon Beach - Dolphin

10/10 Excellent

"It was my third visit to this property and I will be back! The view of the Malibu coastline is breathtaking. Angel, the property manager is amazing. Greets you with a smile and is there for anything you might need. I highly recommend this charming place on Carbon Beach in Malibu."

"This is an Amazing property and it was as wonderful as the pictures & reviews looked before we arrived.

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."

Oceanfront Retreat with Multiple Balconies, Direct Beach Access & Sweeping Views

"We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful oceanfront home! The house was extremely clean, comfortable, and exactly what we were hoping for. The hosts were incredibly accommodating and very quick to respond whenever we had a question, which made our stay that much more enjoyable.The oceanfront setting was absolutely amazing, and one of the unexpected highlights was getting to see dolphins and even sea otters right from the property! We definitely weren’t expecting that, and it made the experience even more memorable.We truly enjoyed our stay and really appreciated the hospitality. We would happily stay here again and definitely recommend this home to others. Five stars!"
