In Malibu, Cliffside Beach House is an exterior-only event venue that feels like two coastal settings in one property: a relaxed beach-level sand terrace with palms and a thatched bar, and an upper bluff setting with manicured lawns, brick paths and a Cape Cod-style house. It is well suited to private parties, reception-style gatherings and dinner celebrations that benefit from open Pacific views and layered outdoor spaces.
Beach-Level Gathering Space by the Water
At the shoreline, the sand-filled terrace sits just above the surf, with a rope-and-post edge, curved brick steps and a raised patio leading toward the water access. Palms, a palm-thatch lounge area with blue lounge chairs around a glass-topped table, and an open-air thatched bar with stools, counter space and nautical dressing create a relaxed tropical beach setup. A small boat-shaped feature and fire pit add a beach-club feel while keeping the Pacific horizon open.
Bluff Lawns and Cape Cod-Style Coastal Exterior
Above the beach, the property shifts into a cleaner residential coastal look, with broad upper terraces, manicured lawns, clipped hedges and the Cape Cod-style house with Gothic Revival details. White board-and-batten siding, steep gray shingle roofs, a red-brick chimney, blue-trim balconies and pointed-arch windows define the façade, while the projecting bay faces the ocean. Beside the house, the brick dining patio feels more contained, and the freestanding white gazebo adds another polished outdoor point within the grounds.
Garden Paths, Recreation Areas and Shaded Pockets
Sweeping lawns step down toward palms and trimmed hedges, while brick walks lead through formal planting beds and shaded garden areas. On the inland side, a play structure, tire swing, basketball court, picnic tables and covered hot tub give the property a family-recreation side, wrapped by mature trees. The beach terrace, balconies and open lawn face the ocean and receive the strongest sun; the thatched roofs create close shade, and the picnic area and driveway sit under dense tree canopy. A broad paved drive curves through the trees for the approach, and the upper lawn and shoreline connect by paths, long stair runs and beach-level steps, creating elevation changes across the grounds.
