"We loved Hotel June while visiting Malibu. It was outside of town so not so hectic. We felt safe and the customer service was great but we really didn't need any help as everything was as expected or exceeded our expectations. We loved the small quiet pool area for relaxing and felt it was a great place and good value compared to more expensive properties in town. "

"If you're looking for a place to base, that's close to everything, yet feels like you're out of the city, this is the place! I cant say enough about how serene and peaceful the property is. The view of the ocean is absolutely beautiful and every room has a view of it. There's another sitting area on the property that overloooks a vineyard and canyon. Little frogs greet you at night and you're far enough from the city to see the stars. Such a great little hidden gem!"

"We have stayed in the neighborhood previously, and loved being up and away from the bustle of downtown Malibu. The Pool House was a special treat, with fabulous views through big windows, or from a number of outside places to sit, beautiful furnishings, and a well outfitted kitchen, It was a quiet and serene place to return to after a day spent with family. Shannon is great to work with, and very responsive to questions. We hope to stay again, sometime."

"This location had a beautiful view and serene outside location. Wonderful hosts, helped if we needed anything. We did not realize however it was the lower unit of the house. There were 2 families above us at different times during our stay, and we could hear every footstep from upstairs. Not ideal, I wish we would have known we were the lower unit, so we could expect that. Otherwise a beautiful place and we had a great time in Malibu!"
