Oceanfront on Dry Sandy Carbon Beach - Sandpiper

If you desire peace and tranquility with a beachfront location and nearby amenities on your upcoming visit to Malibu, look no further!

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.

We are pet friendly and there is a pet fee.

Perfect for a relaxing getaway

Angel met us when we arrived and showed us our unit as well as the beach access points. My boyfriend and I stayed 3 nights and had an amazing time! We walked to restaurants, hung out on the beach, and spent most of the time on the balcony watching the waves and just enjoying the peace. We highly recommend the sandpiper unit!

Great location on the beach

The property is on the older side, but doesn’t take away from the place and location. Would definitely stay here again. Walked the beach every day of my stay. Walked both ends but prefer the beach on the other side of the pier. Walk past the public beach and lagoon, wide beautiful beach, no rocks. Here in May, so beaches really empty, a plus. The place is fully stocked, lots of towels! Beach towels and chairs available another plus. Angel greeted us and explained everything and showed us around. He was so helpful and kind. Felt good having him around in case there were questions or problems. PHC was still closed, left on May 21st. All in all, loved the place and will definitely be back.

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!
