Beautifully appointed, this Malibu paradise combines Japanese-inspired design, natural materials and sea views to create a sanctuary of zen and calm along the Pacific coast. It's right on the beach, so you can spot sightings of dolphins dancing in the ocean or pelicans diving for breakfast while enjoying your morning coffee from the dreamy sunroom. In complete isolation and privacy, this home blurs the boundaries between indoor-outdoor living, with Shoji dividers, sliding doors, private terraces and beachfront patios that open the living spaces up to the LA surf. Find a sunny spot to unwind with a good book in the dotted sunrooms, or kick back on the front porch while soaking up the glistening sunshine. Outside, the gardens are an oasis of Japanese plants, waterfalls and comfy seating areas – including an earthly, stone outdoor bathroom for washing off those sandy toes. Beyond this luxurious home, you'll find Sant...
High above the crashing Malibu surf, this sprawling estate makes the most of those iconic cobalt and magenta sunset skies. If it wasn’t for the palms, you couldn’t tell where the slick infinity pool ends and the Pacific ocean begins. Spend days on the loungers lining the poolside, or shaded under covered porches. This place is made for outdoor living. The wet bar’s huge windows open up to create a poolside hang-out, and there’s an open fireplace under the concrete cabana. Sliding glass doors open up the living area to the elements, so you can enjoy the sea breeze while reclining on that huge fireside sofa, or just give in and set up on the rattan seating by the flat-screen TV outside. Architectural touches like the sleek, curved dining room, towering feature fireplace and monochrome kitchen island are a reminder that you’re in a Barry Berkus-designed home and it feels as though each picture frame window has been placed to perfectly capt...
The sound of the ocean fills this Malibu home with a harmonious flow and invites the senses into a state of relaxation.

Bathed in natural light, you'll love waking up in this home and stepping outside to breathe in the fresh sea air – there are expansive ocean-side decks accessible from every room, so you can watch the waves ebb and flow wherever you are.

You won’t get much closer to the beach than this San Diego villa, nudged up to the golden sands of South Mission.

Located close to the seafront boardwalk, with volleyball courts, a playground, and calm waters nearby, it’s a great choice for families.

We fell in love with this home based on the location alone, even before crossing the threshold. Just a stone's throw from the beach, you can easily jump in the ocean before breakfast. You're conveniently located just one block from Main St, where you'll find indie boutiques, charming cafes and Michelin-recognised restaurants. The home itself is equally breathtaking – we adore the double-height living space with a sea view. It's exceptionally stylish, brimming with character. The amount of art hanging on the walls would put some galleries to shame. It's definitely a home that makes you want to know its owners – a truly unique place to stay and one that's ready for its Instagram close-up. * It's very white, and the barrier up on the mezzanine isn't very high, so if you have small children, you might want to look elsewhere * The pool is shared * The staircase is long, so it's not particularly easy to access the mezzanine floor f...
