    Unlike many other Yelpers we did not plan an event at Rancho Del Cielo but rather stayed for a week in their guest cottage. We have been coming to Southern California for years and absolutely love Malibu. Having stayed in hotels and with family in the past, Rancho Del Cielo sure beat both! While planning our trip we stumbled across HomeAway.com. Such a great alternative to hotels! The site had many choices but we decided on the Olive Grove Cottage at Rancho Del Cielo. My girlfriend handled most of the reservations with owners Jill and Sparky. Such nice people! Unfortunately we missed our flight out of Newark to Los Angeles. We booked the next available flight which set us back about 3hrs. We called Jill and made her aware of this and she was super nice and understanding. She gave us detailed directions and said the place will be unlocked to make ourselves at home upon our arrival. By the time we arrived in LA and picked up our car it was already after 10pm. It was dark and feared we would have trouble finding it since its tucked high up on the mountain. With the directions Jill provided we were taken right to the cottage which was ready and waiting for us. It was almost like Motel 6.. They even left the lights on for us! There was wine and snacks on the table also which was very nice. Not able to see too much other then some of the city lights to the south we unloaded the car and hit the sack. Waking up the next morning we thought we were dreaming! Perched high in the mountains overlooking the Pacific Ocean it was like waking up in a tree house.. A high in the clouds tree house! I kind of felt like a kid and had to explore a bit! The property is amazing.. Exactly as advertised! I will let the attached photos do most of the talking. Outdoor fireplace with plenty of firewood, his/hers showers, Jacuzzi, dining area, chaise lounge chairs, sun deck on the hill above the cottage and views for days! There was even high speed wi-fi internet! I can go on but you get the idea.. Rancho Del Cielo is super private and about a mile off the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) but is close to everything important. We found it best to go to Ralph's Grocery Store the first day we were there to stock up on groceries for the week. We enjoy going out but found it very convenient to cook at the cottage as well after a long day in the California sun. The owners respected our privacy but we always knew if we needed something we could reach them. One evening when heading out for dinner we bumped into Sparky riding his bike up the hill to the property. He gave us suggestions on local places to check out we would've never known about. He also assured us if we needed anything not to hesitate contacting them. Having been on the property for a week I can see why it would make such an amazing wedding venue. It will certainly be at the top of our list when the time comes. Jill and Sparky are the nicest people you'll meet too. We didn't want to leave. If your still reading this run on review i'm pretty sure you get that we enjoyed every minute of our time here. I have attached several photos of the property and area. One day when flying by helicopter back to Van Nuys we had our pilot circle the property to check it out by air. I am clearly not the best aerial photographer but figured i'd share a few photos anyway. We can't wait to be back at Rancho Del Cielo! Thank you Jill and Sparky for such great hospitality.

    The wedding at this venue was severely mishandled. The event was plagued by disorganization, poor…read morecommunication, understaffing, and repeated service failures--from incorrect setup and unprofessional staff behavior to inadequate bar service, restroom issues, missing personal property, and lack of onsite management. Critical details were missed, guests were treated dismissively, and the overall experience fell far below expectations for a once-in-a-lifetime event. This was an unacceptable level of service, and I would not recommend this venue. I am unable to in words describe how stressful the day was and how you can get better value and service at other venues from speaking with several newlyweds and industry event coordinators.

    Wow. This property is absolutely stunning…read more I came here for a wedding and they had a gorgeous venue where there was an indoor and outdoor section. They had a nice waterfall outside, clean and cute bathrooms, an outside patio on both sides, and a glass window looking out into the nature. The valet parking was efficient as well. It was a bit of a walk to the venue from the parking area but we had so much fun. The biggest surprise was the food. The appetizers were all amazing and the main dishes were good as well. I think this was one of the best foods I've had at a wedding. They also had a pho bar, to my surprise was also included in the venue. Now the pho itself...the broth was meh and noodles were thin rice noodles, but, the concept was genius for an Asian wedding. I loved the Korean fried chicken! Drinks were so delicious and bartenders/sergers/staff were all amazing.

They went out of their way to accommodate our needs to make sure our guests have a great experience. All the best things: - The house is beautifully decorated. Mary is a talented interior designer with an elegant taste in furniture. The house has many WOW elements. You have to be there to feel the amazingness. - Mary and Will are extremely kind and responsible. Our party rental person arrived the evening before without notice and Will handled everything for us. - The house faces the ocean. - It's intimate and private. After putting up the canopies, the place looks even better than before. My family dropped their jaw after when they arrived. - Mary and Will are capable to plan your wedding of any budget. They will make sure you don't miss any details. - They have a list of vendors and very knowledgeable. - The rate is very reasonable for a beach house wedding. (Resource: I researched all beach houses in So-Cal for a month.) Seriously, please go and check it out. They are the best thing that happened to our wedding.

Incredible location that you have to see to believe/appreciate. The view is a 10 and the house is first class. Will and Mary are meticulous and thoughtful about making the experience everything it can be and are very generous with their time and services. I believe they limit the amount of events so consider yourselves lucky if you can get this place. I have seen quite a few locations in the area and this place is a gem.

The little outside play area they have for kids is so cute! When I was walking the grounds, I just felt at peace. There is plenty of seating. When I came by, they were having a class for seniors and a band was rehearsing in the teen lounge. You really get a sense of community here. I learned that they do summer concerts here and I would LOVE to check one of those out! Honestly I wish I knew about this venue when I got married. I definitely would have considered it! Prices seem very fair and they include close to everything (chairs, linens etc). Parking is limited but they have shuttle companies they work with for larger events. Staff was very friendly too! Looking forward to my next visit.

    Would avoid at all costs! Too bad I can't leave a review less than 1…read more It came to my attention that, after my wife and MINOR children got undressed in their bridal suite that there was a surveillance camera on the wall of the suite. How they could have a camera in there, to this day, without complaints is astonishing to me. I tried to calmly address this issue with the front desk (before coming here) only to be met with absolute absurdity. The lady managing the desk saw no issue with it and said the camera is there to make sure nobody "damages the room", I argued that we don't want damage in changing rooms and bathrooms but we don't put cameras in them... she didn't understand my correlation, and argued that it's of no concern. I didn't take a photo of the camera, but having looked back on the venues photos of past events, you can see the camera on the wall in that suite for years. Why can't it be hidden during events? Why aren't there signs posted that the bridal suite where everyone is changing is being recorded? Who has access and can monitor that footage? Recommendation: hide the camera when people are changing or provide an alternative location for people to change. If you can't provide a safe space for people to undress without recording them maybe don't hold events. Demand: Delete all past footage that this camera has collected immediately.
