Cottage vacation rentals in Malibu

This is our 3rd time staying at Joseph & Kelly’s place! It is always a pleasure! They make you feel right at home and are willing to help with any need! We love this place and plan to return very soon!

Great stay - well equipped house with great outdoor area and bikes. Quick walk to the pier and restaurants. Responsive hosts.

We loved our stay at Rachel’s! There was ample space for our family of 4. Rachel and Brandon did everything they could to make us feel at home, including providing restaurant recommendations and ordering our kids toys for the sand! We had the best time!

the back yard, pool and cottage is beautiful and relaxing. the pool was wamed up for us. everything was clean and very cute. i hosted a little bbq here with the family and the main reason why everyone was so delighted with the place was because of Connie. such a wonderful soul. thank you and we will definitely make this a spot to book throughout the year.

Our stay here was quick, but just what we were looking for—peaceful and quiet. Our family of six stayed, and one reason we chose it was because each of our four kids would have their own bed. No pillow barriers needed haha. Speaking of beds, these were the *most* comfortable ones we’ve used at an AirBnB. The space was comfy, inviting, and super cool. We loved looking at all the music industry memorabilia, too; what a neat legacy for Michele to share with her AirBnB guests! One thing to note: the place is a converted garage so it is cooled and heated with a mini-split. It wasn’t turned on when we got there, and we wish it had been because it was a pretty cold, drizzly night (December) and took a long time to heat up. So if you stay here, maybe request that it be turned on in advance of your arrival. I’m sure the property management wouldn’t mind at all because they were nothing but accommodating and welcoming. Our big family felt lucky to find this place to stay while in the area.

This place is so beautiful, quiet, secluded and magical! It's about 12 minutes drive from the town of Pearblossom which is very small. It's a small gates area with only a few houses around, but we havn't seen anyone while we stayed there. It's 9 minutes walk from a natural park called "the devil's punch bowl" where you can hike and climb on rocks. We enjoyed it very much with our kids and dog. The house is great! It has lots of bedrooms and beds, fully stocked kitchen (very old appliances but they work), 2 fireplaces, many TV's, awesome play room and a wonderful Jacuzzi (strong jets). We spent time hiking, bathing, playing pool, watching movies and eating. This is a perfect place to check out from the world and enjoy family time. I will also mention that if you go outside early, you will see a few dears! There's a grocery store about 12 minutes drive, we brought a lot of food with us. Wonderful experience!

MK is a fantastic host! Her place is in a wonderful, central location that allows you to easily get around LA which is saying a lot as LA can be a tough city to get around in. The home matched the description and photos. MK was very accommodating, flexible, kind, and responsive - thank you for a great stay!

We had the BEST time at Chase’s place. We loved the island itself, but felt very lucky to find such a fun and personable place that was full of character and wonderful amenities. We loved the hot tub, the beach items, the games, the office capabilities, the yoga items, the great water pressure, and on and on. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you, Chase!

Patricia has been our host twice now, and each time has been lovely! Beautiful little casita so close to Warner Bros and Universal! Very much enjoyed our stay.

1 block back from beach. Can see bit of beach from front porch. Ernie responsive and helpful. No shampoo, bath soap, Kleenex, laundry detergent but laundry available in garage so pack/ shop accordingly. Lots of beach chairs, bikes, surf boards, sand toys, beach towels. Look forward to staying again.

The Love Lodge remains our Home Away From Home! We'll be back again and again... :)

Our most recent visit was our third stay at Kristin and Richard’s place. We love the location. Great for visiting the entire Pasadena and LA area. Their place has tons of character and many thoughtful touches. Kristin and Richard are very friendly and super responsive.

This is the 2nd time I’ve stayed at Dons lovely cottage while visiting Los Angeles. The setting is quiet and peaceful; interior is clean and bright. It manages to be close to everything and secluded at the same time. Don communicates quickly and answered any and all questions with near zero wait time. This is my go-to spot when I’m in Echo Park!

The place was magical! All the wildlife and plants. The fountains created such a lovely noise to fall asleep to! The treehouse was so cute and original. View was great. She made us cookies!! So nice!! Fire pit was a nice touch as well. Great experience!

Hidden Jewel. I love a home that is personal and not furnished with cheap junky furniture. This home was a sanctuary and a lovely calm, to return to after a fun day in busy LA! I loved the tudor style and the backyard is lush and private. I will absolutely book this home when I return!

Second time staying at this house, and just as great as the first time. Fabulous location, comfortable, and extremely well-stocked. Great for our two kids--6 and 9--too. A wonderful experience.

We had a very pleasant stay at Amy's place. It is in a quiet location in the hills of Glendale, with easy access to major freeways and good places to eat. The little house was clean, with a well-equipped kitchen, a very comfy bed. The little outdoors space with chairs was a real plus. Street parking was really not that much of a problem, as we were always able to find spots either right across the property or in nearby adjacent streets. Amy communicated promptly and clearly about our check in, which is always appreciated.

We enjoyed our stay in this Newport Beach gem. Our hosts were so welcoming. Drew saved us a parking spot and Holly came over for a visit and nice conversation. We felt so at home. Holly and my husband even tag-teamed to save an orphaned baby opossum on our last morning there. And Holly quickly answered a frantic call from me when I thought I’d left my wallet at the house & was at the airport, in line to check my bag. She stayed on the phone with me while she went to the house where she and the cleaners searched everywhere. My husband ultimately found it in the butt of some packed jeans, but Holly was so calming. I appreciated it so much! It was so sisterly! As for the house, it is in a great location and is walkable to so much! Great location! And clean, clean, clean.

This was the perfect spot for our family! It is in an amazing area that is walking distance from the beach, pier, and a ton of restaurants. The house was amazing and perfect for our small family with great amenities and a perfect front patio to enjoy the weather. If you are a light sleeper or have tiny ones, there is some evening noise from bars/restaurants late at night but it did not impact us or our kids at all. (They slept rightly through it with ease) The home is extremely clean, nice and open inside, and check-in/check-out was extremely easy. 10/10!

We loved staying at this place! Will definitely book it again. I wish the windows could open though... they were painted in. It got a little stuffy without air circulating, so we opened the doors for a bit. This was a nothing detail compared to how much we loved the place and Meleah's communication and service. Amazing!!! Would give 10 stars if I could.

Cute little house with lots of beautiful yard to enjoy the beautiful weather in. We were there for work, but it is close to lots of popular attractions in the Anaheim area and a reasonable drive to the beach and Los Angeles. The neighborhood is quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of the LA area which is nice if you aren't used to all the commotion or like me, need to rest for work!

excellent airbnb. very centrally located in a hip part of town. well equipped house. super friendly and helpful caretaker lives nearby.

This place is fantastic! We are fire refugees and have rebooked a few times. Justin is so helpful + friendly and the place is nicely designed and comfortable in a lovely neighborhood. Highly recommended!

Kingston's place was perfect for just me! Great walkable location, the most comfy bed with soft sheets. Felt right at home.
