A blissful home set over several levels to make the most of its incredible sea views, this absolute gem is set just off the Pacific Coast Highway between Malibu and Santa Monica (both a ten-minute drive). With any possibility of traffic noise blocked by the houses beneath, it's a quiet retreat with the beach just a five-minute walk down some nearby 'secret stairs'. A hillside home, there are plenty of outside spaces as you'd expect. Choose between the rooftop deck, the covered dining balcony off the living room or the decadent private spa deck off the master suite – complete with an outdoor bathtub and shower with a view. Inside, there's a laid-back, stylish feel to the place, with teak floors, sloping ceilings and plenty of picture windows. Thoughtfully designed by an owner who clearly takes great pride in it, it's filled with trendy art, interesting books and cosy soft furnishings. A truly romantic setting, there's an excellent chef's kitchen with top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances and everything you could need to cook at home – assuming you can drag yourself away from the kitchen window's view – and a log fire in the living room for cosy nights in. Watch... the sunset from the top terrace, where you can play your own music through the home's speaker system. Luxury touches like robes and slippers, along with fresh flowers and welcome treats, make this an exceptional place to stay – close to the city but worlds away from it.
