On the water! Gorgeous 3 Bdrm Home w/ hot tub

Last January, wildfires burned about 12 houses immediately south of our house. Malibu is in a period of rebuilding. Check tide charts for your dates so you know when low tide is (Our beach is accessible at low tide). Our house does not have AC (we provide fans and there’s always a breeze, so expect to sleep with windows open).
