About this property

Malibu Luxury Ocean View Retreat

We do events and parties so we have our booking available for one day stays, but for a vacation rental our minimum is two nights.

Unique luxury resort estate on 39 acres with epic panoramic views from every window. The gorgeous blue Pacific Ocean, Channel Islands, Boney Mountain, and unspoiled nature surround this paradise.

You'll have total privacy, quiet solitude, and sweeping vistas, and you're less than a mile to the beach! Uncrowded local beaches are a three or four minute drive down the hill, with County Line Beach, one of the most famous California surf spots about 5 minutes away.

Enjoy seeing the whales migrating, dolphins jumping, and sea lions basking in the sun. This is nature at it's best!

Lounge by the saltwater pool on the overstuffed chaises, take in the magnificent sunsets from the spa, float on a raft and recharge, or just curl up by the wood burning fireplace and enjoy the spellbinding views from the picture windows. You won't find another place like this.

Take a class on the Peleton treadmill.

The unique location away from other neighbors and lights allows you to take in shooting stars at night and nap in peace under one of the shade pavilions.

No detail has been overlooked. This home has been designed for comfort and luxury. The beds and linens are top notch, the state of the art entertainment system allows for music throughout and outside. Flat screen TV's are everywhere. It's fully air conditioned for the rare occasion when the sea breeze is not cooperating. High speed WiFi, Satellite TV with all the premium channels, top of line appliances and kitchenware, and luxury furnishings are what you'll find throughout.

Enjoy a BBQ with friends on our Viking 54" BBQ grill with sear burner and rotisserie while overlooking the ocean and mountains.

There are incredible hiking trails and you can hike right from the house with views over the water without seeing another person for hours. We can guide you to some of our secret hikes that consistently wow our guests!

Say hello to Zippy, our resident road runner, or the little grey fox that visits in the evenings. Catch a family of deer grazing in the grass, or spend some time watching the hummingbirds buzz around the garden.

This gated property has a full alarm system with alarm screens that allow you to enjoy the fresh air while the house is monitored for the security conscious.

We have security cameras for safety but they are only outside. The cameras around the house are turned off when guests are renting the house. There is one camera at the bottom of our driveway by the gate and the road, about 300 feet from the house, and we normally leave that one on for guest safety, but we're happy to turn it off if at our guests request.

The understated landscape lighting at night is beautiful and if you're an early riser you'll be treated to both a magical sunrise, and a spectacular sunset each day and evening while you're staying at Deer Creek Ridge. Please note that we cannot offer refunds for issues related to insects, wild animals or weather conditions. Our property is located in a natural environment where animals, insects and changing weather are part of the experience. We appreciate your understanding and hope you enjoy your stay.

Spectacular villa in the clouds

The Deer Creek Ridge Villa is a thoughtfully decorated period piece that offers vistas so beautiful, you will be asking yourself why would I even leave to explore Malibu. It is the rare occasion, when the amenities somehow are the feature attraction in a region so beautiful. While, it can easily accommodate many more people, it managed to be very intimate for our family of four. I would strongly recommend this lovely home to anyone looking to visit the very finest at Malibu has to offer. Dr. DSM and family

Un endroit de rêve!

The retreat is better than what the pictures can tell. The view is spectacular. The house is really beautiful. The garden with its plants and flowers is sublime. The pool is a beauty and very deep. The owners were super helpful. The kitchen is well equipped. Cleanliness was perfect...my wife is very critical on the subject. Beds were comfortable. Perfect location for road biking (good luck on the hills), hiking and obviously surfing.

The Malibu Dream

Its hard to imagine a more elegantly situated, constructed, designed, furnished, beloved home for a personal retreat, and/or to gather, elevate and celebrate a special moment! Truly exquisite details everywhere! Note: It was my first rental that charges per person, either by a nightly or day rate depending on your type of stay (beyond 2 people). With that said, Rick was a very warm, attentive host who promptly responded to any questions or requests as they arose. I would be grateful to return for a future stay; it is a simply magical spot to be savored in the highest!

A weekend in the clouds

I just returned from the most amazing 3 night stay at Deer Creek Ridge. Rick was an amazingly attentive host and the property was more beautiful than I could have ever expected. Rick greeted us when we arrived and gave us a tour of the entire property and made himself available to answer questions that came up throughout the entire stay. It felt like we were staying at a boutique hotel up in the clouds, surrounded by mountains and beautiful ocean views. Though mosquitos are not typically a problem at the property, they were a bit of an issue when we arrived. Rick was very accommodating and ordered plenty of citronella candles that allowed us to enjoy the pool, outdoor dining, and lounging areas. Besides the small mosquito issue that was resolved, we had the most amazing time. The beds were so comfortable, the area was peaceful and quiet, the host was so accommodating, the house was beautiful, the kitchen was well stocked, and we can't wait to stay again soon! If you're looking for a true getaway, Deer Creek Ridge is the perfect place!

A great getaway in a beautiful place

Everything was great! Rick was very responsive and helpful, and most of the questions I had were answered by the check in instructions anyway (my bad for not looking it up diligently enough). The house is very well setup with Alexa and remotes and various smart buttons. The sheer number of the buttons can be a bit overwhelming though, but we managed no problem. The spa was very good - spacious, and an amazing spot for stargazing or watching the sunset. Mosquitoes can bother you in evenings, so just be aware, and bring repellants or antihistamines. The ocean and mountain views from the master bedroom balcony are gorgeous, truly a sight to behold. Close-by dining options are limited, but we were using the grill to cook - its big, uses propane, and surprisingly generates a pretty nice crust on veggies. The house is about an hour drive from Santa Monica/LAX, but the remoteness was one of the primary reasons we picked this in first place. Loved it! Would love to stay there again

Stunning and Luxurious

Amazing property and Rick is a fantastic host. Pictures were beautiful and yet the home exceeded our expectations. Property is meticulously maintained and beautifully done. Grounds and views are gorgeous. Hiking nearby and easy access to beach gave us plenty to keep us busy - not that we ever wanted to leave! Kitchen was very well stocked and high end appliances made it fun to cook and entertain ourselves at home. Perfect getaway weekend!

Rick and the property at Deer Creek Ridge were amazing. The house was better than the pictures (brand new kitchen! ... that we used every day) and was immaculate. Outdoor space and view were as good as they get, and Rick was a terrific host. Never any issues, always kind, polite and responsive. Thanks for a great week!

Fantastic getaway above the clouds!

The pictures don't do it justice. The property is beautiful, well maintained, and settled on top of a ridge with sweeping ocean views. On certain days the fog/clouds roll through in the morning below you, and creep up the ridge onto the property - amazing to watch. The quiet is, well, silent - which is such a welcome treat. Well appointed kitchen/grill/bedrooms - everything there as advertised. The owner is really responsive, respectful and nice. Highly recommend. We went with our family and the kids enjoyed the pool, local hikes, and ridiculous star gazing. Thanks Rick!

Perfect

The house is exactly what it looks like in the pictures: No one else around for miles, picture perfect pool, picture perfect interior. Everything is just so. From the view to the furniture to the towels to the coffee to the cookware. But Rick and Keith are the secret sauce. Their warmth and attention and care are what made this a truly perfect weekend for us. They made us feel like friends right away and that cast a glow over everything. We feel lucky to have found this spot.

A once in a lifetime experience

I got the chance to stay at Deer Creek Ridge on October 29th 2017. I proposed to my girlfriend of 5 years and can honestly say that the house and its owners made the entire experience beyond unforgettable. The property is absolutely gorgeous. Standing on its own atop a hill overlooking the ocean, this house is a sight to behold. The architecture is unique and beautiful with a Moroccan/Peruvian feel. The interior is just as immaculate as the outside. Everything is incredibly clean and lavish, yet provides its guests with an unmistakably homely feel. Rick, the owner of the house, made setting up the entire experience very simple. Not only was he fantastic about helping to accommodate all of my needs for the proposal, but he went well over the top and helped with everything even when he didn't need to. I couldn't be more grateful to him and Keith. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Every aspect of my experience here was so far beyond my expectations (which were already high to being with). Whether you're looking to get away for a relaxing weekend or planning an unforgettable event, Deer Creek Ridge is the venue you should be booking.

About the host

Why they chose this property

We looked for many years to find the right home in Malibu, What we found was that most places with ocean views had road noise from PCH or they were crammed together with neighbors on all sides. When we found Deer Creek Ridge we fell in love! Western Malibu is arguably the most beautiful area because it's less developed and much less crowded than central or East Malibu.

What makes this property unique

We wanted a place where we could enjoy the beauty of Malibu and the Santa Monica Mountains. We have never seen anyplace that does this quite so well.
