We wouldn’t be surprised if the host of this century-old cottage was in fact a fairy godmother and the home itself were to turn back into a pumpkin at the stroke of midnight. There's a distinct fairytale feel to the interior, which is bursting with folkloric design, a whimsical colour scheme and charming architectural features — chandeliers hang from the ceiling and gilded mirror frames sit on the wall waiting to be asked who's the fairest of them all. The one-time hunting lodge is tucked away in the rollings hills of Topanga, and surrounded by lush woodland and majestic mountains, further adding to this most magical setting. Topanga State Park can be reached in five minutes' drive, while Las Tunas Beach only takes ten. There are outdoor adventures to be had without even leaving the home, however. Just step outside into the huge, multi-level garden and you'll find lots of pretty places to take a perch and a recently installed hot tub, as well as some friendly neighbours — the mini pigs. They're looked after twice a day by a caretaker, but you can feed them over their fence, too.  It’s not every day you come across such a special home, but for those who enjoy magic and fairytales, you'll find it completely spellbinding.

Princess Charming

Perched overlooking golden-hued Topanga Canyon, this creative retreat offers visitors a private Eden. Though Santa Monica is only a short drive away, this home seems world’s away from the buzz of the city. Retreat from the mundane everyday and relax in a home that brings you closer to nature. This three-story home seamlessly flows between the indoors and out. Large sliding doors open up to spacious balconies on every level; here you can find various secluded seating areas, a hammock or outdoor bed that offers unbeatable panoramic views. Sunshine streams into the open-plan exterior, creating a space that is both light and airy during hot summer days. The artistic elements of the home create the perfect space for rest and reflection. We especially love the healing crystals and plenteous house plants.

Far-reaching sea views, the sound of the waves crashing against the shore below, and direct beach access – what’s not to love about this Malibu home? Perfect for friends and families alike, it’s impossible not to relax here. If you’re not paddling in the Pacific, a mere 100ft walk away, hop in the car to see the sights of LA. Malibu Pier and Venice Beach Boardwalk are within easy reach, or take around a twenty-minute drive to Topanga State Park where hiking trails and stunning vistas await.

An architectural show-stopper, this secluded home in Topanga Canyon is the crème de la crème. With clean lines, designer furniture and truly spectacular vistas of both the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Monica Mountains from the many terraces, this place is a masterclass in indoor-outdoor living. There's even a separate studio with a kitchen, living area and bedroom that's perfect for those craving a little extra privacy. Wake up each morning and watch the sunrise over the jaw-dropping landscape, then whip up a delicious breakfast in the modern kitchen, which has stainless steel countertops and plenty of culinary gear. Then, head outside and bask in the mountain breeze with a dip in the infinity pool, or just lounge on the deck chairs with a chilled drink in hand and admire the stunning surroundings. In the evenings, fire up the grill for a mouthwatering dinner before ending the night with a soak in the hot tub as the stars pop out overhead. When you can pull yourself away from this private paradise (though we don't blame you if you can't), there's a myriad of trailheads nearby that will please any hiker, and Topanga Beach is about a twenty-minute drive away.

Ocean views, bright open space, luxurious furnishings, and three balconies. This gorgeous home is the perfect place for a Malibu getaway. Decadence sweeps through the home, with cast iron fireplaces, chandeliers, and wooden beamed ceilings. Topped off with restoration hardware, the interior of the home is jaw-droppingly impressive. While the decor is beautiful, there’s something to be said about the home’s three balconies and lush gardens. Sunbathe in the privacy of one balcony, before enjoying an afternoon cocktail by the fire pit on another. Sunsets aren’t to be missed here – the panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean are unmatched. Come dinnertime, the barbecue is ready to be fired up for a delicious feast. Or, let a private chef take the reins while you put your feet up with a glass of wine. 

When you want to explore, there’s something for everyone here, from hiking, to lounging on the beach, to heading into the city. You’re just steps away from the turquoise Malibu coastline. Or, head to Surfrider beach – a five-minute drive away – where you can try out surfing, kayaking, and windsurfing. If you fancy some of the city life, Beverly Hills is just a twenty-five-minute drive away. There, you can visit trendy restaurants and shop til you drop. There are also plenty of wine tours in the area, and Malibu Wine Hikes offers something different. Within twenty-four minutes from home, you can either hike or hop on a 4x4 through the ranch, spotting animals, learning about the history of the vineyards and of course, tasting lots of wine.

This Palisades pad has it all – bright, modern interiors, stunning Pacific Ocean views, and a great location, too. It's practically next door to the Getty Villa, and it's just a ten-minute walk down to Ratner Beach and a short car ride to the iconic Santa Monica Pier – doesn't get much better than that. 

Inside, floor-to-ceiling windows show off the sweeping scenery and rolling tides, while the breezy living space is perfect for socialising. Throw open the doors and you'll hear the waves crashing on the shore – it's the perfect soundtrack to your stay, whether you're lounging on the L-shaped sofa or tucking into a delicious meal around the dining table. The sleek, granite-topped kitchen has everything you need to cook up a delicious feast and the stylish bedrooms are ultra-comfortable. That said, our favourite spot to relax has to be the balcony. Savour your morning cup of coffee with a side of fresh sea air, then, in the evenings, pull up a chair, pour yourself a glass of wine, and enjoy a front-row seat to some truly incredible sunsets on the water. If you ask us, this is California living at its finest.

Always Alright

Bathrobes

Between Malibu and the Palisades, this coastal home is right on the sapphire shores of the Pacific Ocean. Despite being just a ten-minute walk from the antiquities collection of Getty Villa, the interiors here are quite the opposite. This spacious, modern house has muted brown wooden floors alongside a colour scheme of whites and neutrals, which feels clean and fresh. But little touches such as fluffy cushion covers and a cream-tiled fireplace bring warmth if you need it. 

The understated and minimalist decor emphasises the striking backdrop – take in wide ocean vistas from the enormous windows and doors opening to your private balcony. Sip your iced latte here in the morning as you take in the Pacific breeze. 

Just six minutes away, Ratner Beach is a perfect spot for a sunrise swim. Grab a beach towel (kindly provided by your host) and head to the shores. Palisades Village is just over ten minutes by car, where you’ll find restaurants and boutiques. Or take a fifteen-minute ride to Santa Monica Pier to enjoy the funfair by day, and a corn dog under the glow of neon lights by night.

Papiri Bronze

As the ocean runs along the coast by Malibu and Pacific Palisades, your waterside retreat is right on the border between the two. Stepping into your apartment, the sleek, modern interiors offer white as the main colour – a perfect blank canvas for the windows and doors opening up to views of the sapphire waters of the Pacific Ocean, and blue Californian skies. Whether you’re relaxing on the L-shaped sofa inside, or savouring a glass of organic chardonnay on the private balcony, coastal scenery comes as standard. Thanks to touches like sliding glass doors, huge mirrors, and Starck ghost chairs in the dining area, this home feels wonderfully spacious and bright. But as the host provides beach towels and you're just six minutes from Ratner Beach, there’s no excuse not to meander to the coast for a lazy afternoon. Another easy ten-minute walk will take you to the Getty Villa. This hilltop marvel is a museum of antiquities where you can find bronze statues relaxing in gardens and pools, and admire over forty thousand items in the collection. To end the day, take a fifteen-minute taxi to Santa Monica Pier – with funfairs and classic eateries, it’s worth staying until long after sunset.

When you have an ocean view at your disposal, the best homes really make the most of it and that's certainly true of this property overlooking the Malibu coastline. Big windows make the interior feel bright and airy, while there's also a gorgeous deck area from which to savour the panorama of endless blue. This space comes with a comfy lounge area arranged around a firepit and an alfresco dining setup complete with a barbecue, so guests really can spend each and every hour of the day breathing in the salty sea air. Just around the side of the home, there's a small green where you can practice your putting. Back inside, we also loved the Japanese-style round bathtub — ideal for washing off the sand after a day at the seaside. And you won't be short of options, with La Costa Beach only seven minutes' walk away. Even closer to the home — about a minute's walk, in fact — is Duke's bar and restaurant, which serves Hawaiian-inspired cuisine with similarly stunning ocean vistas.

Combine a Topanga location with mountain views, outdoor living, and a designer’s touch, and you’re onto a winner. Set across two acres, this multi-level home is perfect for hosting – with an outdoor lounge, dining terrace, firepit, and an outdoor gym. Hosting isn’t just restricted to the outside – with a chef-ready kitchen, Sonos sound system, and smart lighting to match the mood. The master suite has a soaking tub with views over the valley – the perfect spot to unwind after a hike in the Topanga State Park. Just a short drive from Malibu, this home is ideally located for exploring L.A.’s beaches, canyons, and, of course, the city.

Topanga Tranquillity

When presented with a view of such beauty, the only response that can really do it justice is 'wow'. That was our reaction as we stood on one of the home's many balconies and gazed out at the endless Pacific Ocean. You don't even have to head outside to take in this stunning panorama, thanks to the huge floor-to-ceiling windows that take up most of the walls. With your attention naturally drawn away from the home, it might take you a moment before you can appreciate just how well the interior has been put together. The cleansing white living area and handsome wood-panelled kitchen are both boosted by a collection of impressive accoutrements, including an inbuilt Bose sound system, Miele cooking appliances and a Jacuzzi bathtub. A little more low-key but no less appreciated are three sea kayaks and fishing poles that are also available for guests to use. To reach the beach, all you have to do is descend the stairs, pass the home's deck with alfresco dining area and hey presto, you're there. Countless hours of fun await, whether you're atop the waves or out exploring Santa Monica, which is less than a quarter of an hour's drive away.

One of only six homes located directly next to the Malibu Pier, this beach cottage boasts a dream location. With direct access to the 21-mile stretch of white sand and heaps of deck space, you’ll likely spend most of your time outside, making use of the stand-up paddleboards and surfboards provided. Your host can arrange surfing lessons, bike and kayak rentals, and sailing excursions. There’s also a board rack, beach shower, and an indoor-outdoor bar. The cottage is tranquil, with ocean views enjoyed from almost every angle. Peaceful and pretty, this Malibu home is memorable for all the right reasons. 

Malibu Sunlight

For the ultimate LA experience head to this home perched in the hills of Tarzana. Outside, you’ll be treated to stunning views from the private pool. There’s plenty of space to entertain and unwind across the terrace and garden. Inside, the rooms are just as welcoming with luxurious home comforts and all the essentials you could need to settle in and make it your own. There’s a concierge service offering sweet extras like private chefs, spa treatments and organised excursions. You’ll also find hiking trails and the nearest amenities within easy reach. 



Peaceful Panorama

Heated Pool

Tucked away in the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains, this stylish home offers an escape from the bustle of downtown LA. While you might wish to spend your time soaking up the sun in the pool (or conducting a dunk contest), don't ignore the artfully designed interiors featuring original art pieces. The chef's kitchen is fully equipped for lavish dinners, though there isn't an outdoor dining table for alfresco meals. Upstairs, the star of the show is the giant walk-in wardrobe in the master bedroom, which you can fill with luxury purchases from Beverly Hills, a 30-minute drive away. If you're here for California nature, you'll find plenty of easy and challenging hiking trails on your doorstep.

The Artful Villa

Ping Pong Table

Outdoor Kitchen

Treat yourself to postcard views of the San Fernando Valley. This mid-century home is the vision of a renowned architect, promising an indoor-outdoor flow. With an interior split between the main house and a guesthouse, this layout is ideal for teens craving privacy. From dining alfresco to gathering at the fire pit, you'll love itinerary planning here. Taking a break from the special services? The hot tub and pool table offer simple pleasures. And while a car is necessary, The Getty and Santa Monica Beach aren't far to drive.

The Mountain Home

Featured in the New York Times, this architectural gem blows us away with its canyon setting. Surrounded by unspoiled woodland, the terrace is the spot for sunset-watching and playing ping pong. If you like mid-century style, you'll adore the minimalist interiors, high ceilings, and giant windows framing the views. Your host can also arrange private yoga sessions in the downstairs studio for an extra fee. While this home is an unparalleled hideaway for yogis and nature lovers, you can get around easily via the Pacific Coast Highway and the 101 Valley Route. Imagine hitting the hiking trails or surfing at Topanga Beach.

Topanga Sun

Cafetiere

Occupying a plum spot in Pacific Palisades – home to celebrities, influencers and other affluent types – this five-bedroom apartment suits a large family group. Fluffy pampas grass, leather chairs and navy cabinets make this an eclectic take on the farmhouse style, with a long dining table providing the perfect setting for games night. Heading out? A spare, industrial-style vanity is a stylish setting for your toilette – one of the sinks has three taps, so there'll be no fighting for space. Jump into the free-standing tub that sits right in the window.  An office corner comes with plenty of space for storing papers and files, should you need to catch up on work. Wind down in your minimalist bedroom with a light read.

Pampas

Tennis Court

Two words: wow factor. This six-bedroom home is a spectacular place to stay, boasting sweeping valley vistas, plush furnishings, and lifestyle luxuries like a private gym and tennis court. It offers the perfect blend of calm and convenience – tranquil gardens and restful rooms, all within easy reach of the bright LA lights. We love the sunlit living spaces and chef’s kitchen, which also have great views of the gorgeous grounds. The master suite, with a bathtub fit for a Hollywood star, is special too. This home is only available for monthly stays – a good job really, since you probably won’t want to leave.

Canyon Vista

Located at the top of the Brentwood Hills, one block from hiking and mountain biking trails – this five-bedroom modern villa is a real showstopper. If you want a gorgeous, luxurious place to hang out like a celebrity in, then you'd better call your family and friends – as this villa will have you living the California dream. With easy access to good hiking and dreamy views that sweep from the hills to Century City and Santa Monica across to the ocean, it's not just the exceptional design aesthetic that impresses here. But we do love the plush and contemporary interiors found in the lounge and home cinema rooms – you'll feel like you're sinking into a cloud on the enormous corner sofas in particular. Demonstrating how indoor to outdoor living should be done, a wall of glass at the back of the house opens up the kitchen to an outdoor living area with those breathtaking panoramic views. If you like being out in the sun, you'll have the choice of relaxing in the pool, spa or hot tub in the secluded back garden. When you're ready to venture out, a wealth of wildlife awaits in the surrounding nature at the likes of the Westridge Canyonback Wilderness park or Mountgate Country Club golf course - both within twenty-minutes driving distance away. 


Hill Haven

Artists and craftspeople have long been drawn to Topanga Canyon for its natural beauty and inspiring landscape. And it's this quality of magic that dances in the air and draws you into this stunning five-acre mountainside retreat.

As you step inside, there's a sense of harmony with the natural elements that feels deeply restorative. The large windows in the open-plan living and kitchen area fill the space with light, whilst also offering panoramic views of the Santa Monica Mountains. This is one of the best spots to watch the sunset. 


Every detail of this home has been thoughtfully designed to create a deep sense of relaxation. Outside there’s a hot tub, meditation deck, and plunge pool. Spend lazy afternoons swinging in a hammock, or cook with locally sourced ingredients in the outdoor kitchen. You’ll love gathering with friends in the garden or simply enjoying the stillness this setting provides. 

As the day draws to a close enjoy an outdoor shower overlooking the canyon, or soak in the copper tub. Wherever you are in this home, it inspires a deep appreciation for the magic and beauty of life. 


Earth & Water

Whether you’re local or from out of state, this smart home is the perfect base to return to after exploring the best of Los Angeles. You’ll need a car here, especially if you want to visit Hollywood and Downtown LA. Inside, it’s a little bit luxurious and plenty comfortable, with a chef’s kitchen and temperature-controlled bedrooms. There's even a small, private gym for fitness enthusiasts. Head outside to find an oversized pool, a cabana and a fire pit for enjoying a sundowner or two with your nearest and dearest.
