Property details

Perched on a hillside above Malibou Lake, The Lake House at Malibu is a design-forward escape where high style meets California's easy indoor-outdoor way of living. The lake below is one of the area's best-kept secrets: a private community tucked into the Santa Monica Mountains, with roots going back a century and a long history of film shoots and Hollywood regulars. The lake itself isn't open to the public, but its stillness sets the tone for everything around it. This is a quiet corner of the Malibu hills most visitors never find. Oak-dotted ridgelines surround the home, and the adventure starts at the front door. Malibu Creek State Park's quiet back side begins just beyond the neighborhood, where you can hike or bike the trail out to the famous M*A*S*H filming site.. Inside, thoughtful architecture does the talking. Towering windows frame sweeping views of the mountains, while the fully equipped kitchen, stylish dining area, and spacious living room give everyone room to gather. Three beautifully appointed bedrooms and two full bathrooms offer restful nights, and everyday conveniences like in-home laundry, on-site parking, and a Peloton keep the stay feeling effortless. Outside is where this home really shines. The upper deck holds a cozy firepit with panoramic views, made for slow sunsets and stargazing. Down in the backyard, a private pool is ringed by plush loungers and shaded seating, with a second firepit for laid-back evenings. Every corner of the property seems designed for lingering a little longer. The dining scene nearby is full of character. The Old Place, an iconic mountain tavern, is barely five minutes up Mulholland, and Saddle Peak Lodge, known for wild game and old-hunting-lodge romance, is a short drive through the canyons. In Agoura Hills and Westlake Village, ten to fifteen minutes away, Basta keeps it casual with handmade Italian, Mediterraneo offers breezy lakeside dining, and Paul Martin's serves American classics. And when the ocean calls, a gorgeous half-hour drive over the ridge lands you on the coast, where Neptune's Net is a beachside legend and Nobu Malibu delivers fine dining with a side of celebrity spotting. There's plenty to fill the days beyond the table. The protected cove at Malibu Pier is a favorite for kayaking and family beach time, local outfitters lead scenic horseback rides through the hills at Paramount Ranch, and Zuma Beach brings steady winds for kite flying and volleyball courts that stay busy all summer. From its architectural charm to its rich cultural backdrop, The Lake House at Malibu is made for travelers who want to slow down, explore deeply, and savor every moment provides a personalized hospitality experience to elevate your stay. With our Concierge Service, guests have access to our tech-enabled services like fridge stocking, private chefs, massages, transportation, special occasion celebrations, baby gear rentals, ski gear, beach gear, and more. For anything you need, we’re at your fingertips! Hello, sunshine! A 25-minute drive from Los Angeles and a legendary locale in its own right, Malibu is known for its great surf, stunning views of the Pacific Ocean, and swoon-worthy homes. This famous beach town may be star-studded, but it's a laid-back community at heart. Think beachfront restaurants, small boutique shopping, and quiet residences perched between the water and the stunning Santa Monica Mountains. Nearby Attractions: Zuma Beach, Sabor a Malibu food truck, El Sol County Beach, Malibu Brewing Company, Neptune’s Net, Paradise Cove Beach Cafe, Malibu Riders Horseback Riding, Malibu Wine Safari, Malibu Creek State Park, Rosenthal Winery and Food Trucks.

The views are stunning from this house. How we clean. The pool was heated appropriately. Communication was great with any issues or concerns we had. Parking was great and convenient. We had a fire alarm malfunction on our last night while we were all sleeping, which wasn’t a big deal at the end of the day. The den downstairs likely used to be a storage room that was converted so it has a low ceiling that’s less than 6 feet so the room is just good for children. The back patio had a few umbrellas that weren’t useable, but I’m sure will be replaced, same as the cornhole set. Nothing that they can’t fix and wasn’t a big deal to us personally. Overall it’s a great spot that I would recommend if you’re looking to stay on Malibu lake. Again the views are spectacular. I like how the family room is isolated on the 2nd floor with the rooms and pool/backyard on the third floor. Not an ADA friendly house so don’t stay here if you can’t handle stairs. Great spot overall, we were very happy!

We booked this place for a family vacation in California. We had 8 people and the instructions said to let them know if we had more than 6 (3 bedrooms with queen/king beds) because they could provide air mattresses or trifold mattresses. We messaged them the day before, and they order air mattresses and new sheets and blankets and had them delivered to the house before we got there. They were very prompt with answering any questions. The house was great! They had everything we needed. We enjoyed the pool and sitting outside on the patio with the beautiful view. We had plenty of space. I loved the little nook at the front door where we put the 2 kids on the air mattresses.
